Fluviomorphic trajectories for dryland ephemeral stream channels following extreme flash floods
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 2628-2650, July 2024.Aerial photographs enable evolutionary trajectory analyses of ephemeral streams. The geometric braiding index reaches the pre‐flood state the fastest, that is, in circa 15–24 years. Junction‐node density and stream‐link area recover in 25 years after extraordinary floods, but the spatial distribution of the channel forms takes 30–35 years to recover ...

Bank erosion and erosion processes from dendrogeomorphology in southern U.S. prairie streams
River Research and Applications, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 747-760, June 2024.Abstract Streambank erosion processes influence the amount of soil material contributed to rivers and sedimentation rates in receiving reservoirs. However, the amount of data on bank erosion rates is limited both in range and extent affecting planning for mitigation and watershed management.

Challenges in the attribution of river flood events
WIREs Climate Change, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2024.Drivers of river floods change through time. Global warming, and associated changes in temperature and precipitation, often overlap with changes in the hydrology, such as land‐cover change, construction of levees and large‐scale irrigation. This poses a special challenge to the attribution of flood events.

Outburst floods records in the Yigong River since holocene, southeastern Tibet
Geoenvironmental DisastersBackground Paleofloods are critical geomorphic driving forces shaping the landform evolution of the Tibetan Plateau margin. Although paleoflood investigations have been conducted in the Yarlung Tsangpo River, including documented sedimentary records in ...

Zhejiang Daxue xuebao. Lixue ban, 2018 基于对近年来汉江上游古洪水水文学研究成果的整理和分析，结合文献记载和气候背景分析，对汉江上游5个沉积剖面记录的北宋时期古洪水事件进行了文献考证.研究结果表明，北宋时期为洪水频发期；洪水灾害的影响范围、灾情的严重性以及洪痕沉积规律等表明，汉江上游5个沉积剖面记录的古洪水事件可能是北宋太平兴国七年(982年)六月的一次特大洪水事件.依据树轮、冰芯、石笋等气候代用性指标及历史文献记载，北宋太平兴国七年(982年)正处于北宋980年代气候突变时期，此次古洪水事件可能是对当时气候异常多变的瞬时响应 ...
