Use of high-intensity data to define large river management units: A case study on the lower Waikato River, New Zealand [PDF]
The importance of environmental heterogeneity in lotic ecosystems is well recognised in river management, and continues to underpin studies of hierarchical patch dynamics, geomorphology and landscape ecology. We evaluated how physical characteristics and

Fine‐scale damage assessment of urban flooding based on the 1D/2D coupled hydrodynamic model
Due to the high population density and economic property in urban environments, urban flooding can result in substantial economic losses. However, accurate urban flood modeling and assessing the associated damages are challenging due to complex urban ...

Riverism: river + urbanism [PDF]
La investigación abarca la relación simbiótica del urbanismo con los ecosistemas de agua, el habitar de los bordes hidráulicos, la redefinición de los entornos urbanos de ciudad con el río y la recualificación de su espacio público en cuatro ejemplos de aproximaciones urbanas y habitables en Colombia.
