Making Waves: The Effects of Whitewater Parks on Fish Passage in Colorado
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Instream structures have fragmented riverine habitats throughout much of the world, including the Western USA. Whitewater parks (WWPs) are relatively new instream structures designed to create hydraulic waves for recreational boating and surfing by constricting flows into a steep chute or drop.

Evaluating the Interpretation Uncertainty From the Manual Streambank Delineation
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Streambank delineation enables the development of two important parameters: streambank position and channel width. For older aerial images that cannot be easily processed by automatic methods, manual interpretation of streambanks is a necessary task.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Braided rivers are some of the most dynamic and complex river systems in the world. They provide unique habitat to rare species, supply natural resources, and act as a source of groundwater recharge. However, they can also pose significant flooding and erosion hazards. Current management of braided rivers in Aotearoa New Zealand faces a strong

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stream fragmentation is a leading threat to freshwater fish diversity and is often caused by the installation of impassable culverts at road–stream crossings. In the United States alone, millions of culverts contribute to this fragmentation. Therefore, estimating culvert barrier impact on aquatic organism passage and prioritizing barriers for ...

Addressing Unwanted Morphodynamic Processes in Re‐Naturalization Projects
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT River systems worldwide are undergoing severe ecological and morphological degradation due to prolonged anthropogenic interventions, such as channelization and dam construction, which disrupt sediment continuity and natural flow regimes. In response, river re‐naturalization projects have emerged as essential strategies to restore the dynamics ...

Evaluating Movements of Co‐Occurring Silver and Bighead Carp in a Small Missouri River Tributary
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Bighead Carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis commonly inhabit small tributaries of mainstem rivers. However, dynamic environmental conditions within these systems may influence their movement patterns differently than in larger rivers, potentially leading to important implications regarding their range ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Building an understanding of river ecosystems often involves integrating information from different locations, spatial scales and points in time. Geomorphologists and ecologists have long considered ways to explore river ecosystems at different, hierarchical, spatial scales so that features observed locally can be linked to the character of ...
