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 ...

Role of Beach Morphology in Wave Overtopping Hazard Assessment
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2017 Understanding the role of beach morphology in controlling wave overtopping volume will further minimise uncertainties in flood risk assessments at coastal locations defended by engineered structures worldwide.

The Fargo‐Moorhead Diversion: Flood Protection or Sprawl Promotion?
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Urban growth and development opportunities are needed worldwide, but growth and development must be hazard‐aware and should follow smart‐growth principles. The $2.89 billion Fargo‐Moorhead Area Diversion Project was designed to provide flood protection following damaging floods on the Red River of the North.

Estimation of Wave overtopping on Reshaping Breakwaters [PDF]
محیط زیست و مهندسی آب, 2016 The breakwater as structures that have an important role in the protection of coastal facilities was used to create calm in the harbor, reduce wave energy and also protect the coast against wave attack.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

Water Resources ResearchAddressing the limitations of traditional overtopping risk analysis methods, which either consider only a single failure mode or fail to accurately characterize the nonlinear characteristics of reservoir levels, this paper proposes a novel overtopping ...

Boreas, EarlyView.We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...

Boreas, EarlyView.Map of Lower sediment (LS) thickness is a surrogate for the distribution of Thorncliffe Formation (TF) and ~75% of TF thickness from the slope of Niagara Escarpment east to Brighton. Inset images show the LS sequence at the Don Valleys brickyards (DVBY) and undeformed TF sand and gravel (~15 m) below Newmarket Till (NT) at sites L and Co.

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid MechanicsOvertopping wave energy converters (OWECs) are designed to capture the energy from wave overtopping and transform it into clean and renewable electricity. The present paper numerically investigates irregular wave overtopping on a simplified 2-dimensional
