Advances in cross-shore profile characteristics and sediment sorting dynamics of tidal flats

open access: yesShui kexue jinzhan, 2018
The cross-shore profile shape and sediment sorting of tidal flats play an important role in the research of estuarine and coastal morphodynamics, and bear practical significance for maintaining biodiversity, exploring sedimentation history, and assessing

Morphological Changes and Alterations in Erosion–Accretion Patterns in a Semiarid Brazilian River

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
Flow regulation by the Castanhão Dam significantly altered discharge dynamics and reduced sediment transport in the Jaguaribe River. Long‐term analysis (1958–2025) reveals attenuated flood peaks, decreased channel migration and progressive downstream stabilisation, highlighting persistent geomorphic adjustments in a regulated semiarid fluvial system ...

Fracto-Morphodynamics

open access: yes, 2022
In this work the connection between curvature, the emergence of the universe, and the process of morphogenesis is investigated in detail. We have come a long way from general relativity using differential geometry, which describes the curvature of space-time as an emergent phenomena, to the more recent theory of loop quantum gravity using non-geometric

Applied Numerical Modelling of Landscape Evolution in Anthropogenic Landscapes: A Systematic Review

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
This systematic review examines how landscape evolution models have been applied to analyse long‐term change in anthropogenic landscapes. The review evaluates modelling approaches, applications, limitations and key knowledge gaps to assess the potential of these models for long‐term landscape and risk management.

Fundamental Hydraulic Geometry Relations as an Accessible Tool for Identifying Channel Instability Over National Scales

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 7, Page 1500-1519, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The geometry of alluvial river channels can give insight into their stability, which can inform predictions of morphological change, flood risk and ecological degradation. Fundamental hydraulic geometry relations can be used to estimate the equilibrium dimensions of stable river channels by evaluating the balance between the erodibility of bed

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

Assessing SWOT's Measurement Capabilities in the Complex Paraná River

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Estimating water surface elevation (WSE) is crucial for understanding hydrological processes; however, many rivers remain insufficiently monitored due to the limitations of in situ gauge networks. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar technology, enables global monitoring of WSE with high

Infragravity Waves Across a Steep‐Sloping Rough Rocky Seabed on the Inner Shelf

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Observations of infragravity (IG) waves were conducted from June to October 2023 along the rocky shores off China Rock, CA, on the inner shelf at depths of 8–13 m. The study examines inner‐shelf IG wave dynamics over rough, steep rocky shores and compares them with those over smoother, gentler sandy shores and coral reefs. IG energy correlated

Impacts of Cross‐Shore Winds, Waves, and Sand Ridges on Inner Shelf Circulation

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Processes dominant on depth‐averaged subtidal flows at the surf zone and the inner shelf with sand ridges. The yellow layer indicates the sandy seafloor bathymetry; the oscillating dashed lines at the inner shelf indicates the sand ridges. Abstract Understanding of circulation on inner continental shelves needs to be advanced to accurately predict the ...
