Autocyclic Secondary Channels Stabilize Deltaic Islands Undergoing Relative Sea Level Rise
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Understanding what sets the size and stability of deltaic islands is critical for predicting how deltas will respond to sea level rise. Models of overbank sedimentation produce an exponentially decaying sedimentation profile, seemingly incompatible with ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

Mapping River Bed Topography in Whitewater Rapids Using Bathymetric LiDAR
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bathymetric LiDAR captures river topography efficiently for clear and shallow water, but for mountain rivers, whitewater rapids still pose challenges. This study proposes a novel method to enable the extraction of bottom returns specifically in turbulent whitewater sections.

On the modelling of biological effects on morphology in estuaries and seas [PDF]
, 2003 Morphological modelling aims to explain and predict the changes in rivers, seas and estuaries due to these interaction. In recent history, a lot of progress has been made, especially with stability analysis approaches.

Using Fine Sediment Monitoring to Quantify Sand Loading Over Time
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Riverine sand loading can lead to geomorphic change, impacting river processes like lateral migration and vertical aggradation or degradation. Yet many sediment monitoring programs track only fine sediment measurable as total suspended solids (TSS). Here, we assess the ability for TSS data to be used to determine sand loading.

Control of wind-wave power on morphological shape of salt marsh margins
Water Science and Engineering, 2020 Salt marshes are among the most common morphological features found in tidal landscapes and provide ecosystem services of primary ecological and economic importance. However, the continued rise in relative sea level and increasing anthropogenic pressures

Long‐Term Morphodynamic Responses to Flood Diversion in the Lower Kano River, Japan
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fluvial morphodynamics—the interaction between water flow, sediment transport, and channel morphology—is a central concern in sustainable river management. However, the long‐term effects of flood diversion remain underexplored. This study investigated the decadal‐scale morphodynamic responses of the lower Kano River in Japan following the ...

Meander‐Bend Erosion Dynamics Along a Gravel‐Bed River: Insights From Short‐Term UAV Monitoring
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Riverbank erosion is a natural process in meandering rivers that contributes to sediment supply and geomorphic diversity, yet it can threaten infrastructure and human activities within the floodplain. Recently, many studies have used high‐resolution remote sensing technologies to measure bank erosion, but they often focus on technical aspects ...

Response of river-dominated delta channel networks to permanent changes in river discharge [PDF]
, 2010 Using numerical experiments, we investigate how river-dominated delta channel networks are likely to respond to changes in river discharge predicted to occur over the next century as a result of environmental change.
