Abstract Many global and regional climate models predict shifts in the frequency and magnitude of precipitation events. It is unclear how this transition will influence delta and wetland development. We address this knowledge gap via two reduced‐scale physical delta experiments: one with constant discharge and the other with variable discharge.

Anthropogenic Disturbance Threatens the Endangered Tufted Ghost Crab, Ocypode cursor
ABSTRACT The tufted ghost crab, Ocypode cursor, native to the southeastern Mediterranean and subtropical Atlantic Ocean, is a key bioindicator species, providing valuable insights into the health and stability of sandy beach ecosystems through its population dynamics, behaviour and interactions with the environment. Sandy shores along the Mediterranean

Land Reclamation Controls on Multi‐Centennial Estuarine Evolution
Land reclamations influence the morphodynamic evolution of estuaries and tidal basins, because an altered planform changes tidal dynamics and associated residual sediment transport.

Introduction à l'étude écologique d'un cours d'eau. (Cf. erratum dans n° 252, p. 131)
The standard study aims at giving the hydrobiological situation of one river at the time of the study. That situation concerns the morphodynamic, physical, chemical, phytozoological characteristics, the population of fishes and their relationships, with ...

Analysis of autogenic bifurcation processes resulting in river avulsion [PDF]
River bifurcations are constituent components of multi-thread fluvial systems, playing a crucial role in their morphodynamic evolution and the partitioning of water and sediment. Although many studies have been directed at exploring bifurcation dynamics,

Scour hole behaviour: A field study of the Dutch Rhine Delta
Scour hole behaviour can be divided into dynamic and stable. Dynamic scour holes grow in area, depth and volume during seasonal discharge variations and are typically located in discharge‐dominated river reaches. Stable scour holes are found in tidal rivers with heterogeneous riverbeds and show nearly fixed dimensions.

Sensitivity of simulated flow fields and bathymetries in meandering channels to the choice of a morphodynamic model [PDF]
Morphodynamic models are used by river practitioners and scientists to simulate geomorphic change in natural and artificial river channels. It has long been recognized that these models are sensitive to the choice of parameter values, and proper ...

Addressing Unwanted Morphodynamic Processes in Re‐Naturalization Projects
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 ...
