Long‐Term Effects of Low‐Drop Grade Control Structures on Channel Evolution in the Yazoo River Basin
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Channel incision is a widespread problem, especially in river basins that have an extensive history of channel alterations. Because channel incision causes large ecological and economic consequences, the prevention of continued migration of headcuts, defined as a steep change in stream gradient over a short reach, has been the focus of many ...

Bias in Peak Flood Discharges: Are Our Bridges and Culverts Undersized?
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reliable methods for peak discharge predictions at ungaged locations are required for infrastructure design and floodplain management. For decades, a standard practice in the United States has been to utilize US Geological Survey regional regression equations (StreamStats) as a singular method. However, implementation of multiple methods, such
