AHS2005: The 2005 airborne imaging spectroscopy campaign in the Millingerwaard, the Netherlands [PDF]

, 2008
The Millingerwaard was one of the first nature rehabilitation projects for river floodplains in the Netherlands. It therefore serves as an example project for other floodplain rehabilitation projects.

Freshwater fish functional diversity shows diverse responses to human activities, but consistently declines in the tropics

Ecography, EarlyView.
Freshwater environments are intertwined with human activities and the consequence has been environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Fish provide key ecological and economic benefits, and fish abundance and diversity can be affected by human activities resulting in functional diversity (FD) changes that might scale up to ecosystem impacts ...

Condition and structure of meadow vegetation in the floodplain area of the Bolshoi Kinel River [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
This study aims to characterize the structural composition of little-studied riverine grassy landscapes, focusing on the vegetation of floodplain meadows.

Groundwater flooding within an urbanised flood plain [PDF]

, 2012
In Europe in recent years, there has been recognition of the need to better understand the risk from groundwater flooding. This recognition has been due both to the occurrence of major flooding events clearly attributable to groundwater and the inclusion

Damping Modification Factors for Pile–Induced Filtering Effect

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Period–dependent Damping Modification Factors are usually applied to the 5%–damped pseudo–acceleration response spectrum at free field conditions to derive the seismic demand for structures with damping ratio other than 5%. Likewise, the response spectrum at the foundation level of pile–supported structures may differ from the free field ...

Geomorphological characteristics of the Wabash River, USA: Influence on fish assemblages

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
River hydrogeomorphology is a potential predictor of ecosystem and assemblage variation. We tested for fish assemblage variation as a function of hydrogeomorphology in a Midwestern US large river, the Wabash River.

Nitrogen dynamics in the shallow groundwater of a riparian wetland zone of the Garonne, SW France: nitrate inputs, bacterial densities, organic matter supply and denitrification measurements [PDF]

, 2003
This study highlights the role of interactions between surface and sub-surface water of the riparian zone of a large river (the Garonne, SW France). Information is given about the role of surface water in supplying Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC ) to the

9.32 Large River Floodplains

, 2013
The size and complexity of large floodplains result from the hydroclimatic and tectonic settings required to produce large rivers with copious sediment supplies and adequate accommodation space, and also from certain scale-dependent processes. Water and sediment exchanges with the channel determine the construction and preservation of floodplain ...

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Impacts of Low‐Level Jets on Moisture Transport to the Pantanal, Brazil

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The moisture transports from the tropics to the subtropics by the low‐level jets (LLJs) east of the Andes crossing the Pantanal region. Four LLJs, east of the Andes, were identified and selected with correspondent Lagrangian moisture transport. The LLJ moisture source regions contribute to Pantanal (~63.5%) and precipitation increased (~30%) during LLJ
