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

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

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 ...

Assessing the Risk of 100-year Freshwater Floods in the Lamprey River Watershed of New Hampshire Resulting from Changes in Climate and Land Use [PDF]
What is the coastal resource issue the project sought to address? Both the magnitude and frequency of freshwater flooding is on the rise in seacoast NH and around much of New England.

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 ...

ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation encompass a range of approaches that work with nature to increase resilience to climate change while providing ecological, economic and social co‐benefits. These solutions have frequently been put forward for application in urban contexts, such as the creation of urban forests, but can ...

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