River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The geometry of alluvial river channels can give insight into their stability, which can inform predictions of morphological change, flood risk and ecological degradation. Fundamental hydraulic geometry relations can be used to estimate the equilibrium dimensions of stable river channels by evaluating the balance between the erodibility of bed

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tropical rivers play a key role in regional carbon budgets, yet greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics in regulated systems remain poorly understood. This study investigates the seasonal variability of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) concentrations, isotopic composition (δ13C), and river‐atmosphere fluxes in the lower Tocantins River, a ...

Hydrological impacts of floodplain restoration: a case study of the River Cherwell, UK [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2003 This paper investigates the impacts on floods of hypothetical changes to river channel geometry by construction or removal of embankments to prevent water spreading onto the floodplain at high flows. A numerical model is applied to the River Cherwell

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how changes in catchment conditions affect ecohydrology in response to rainfall‐runoff events is crucial when developing informed strategies to enhance flow resilience, restore natural habitats, interpret water quality data or reduce flood risk.

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.

Patterns in the Use of a Restored California Floodplain by Native and Alien Fishes
San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2007 Fishes were sampled on the restored floodplain of the Cosumnes River in Central California in order to determine patterns of floodplain use. The floodplain was sampled for seven years (1998-2002, 2004-2005) during the winter-spring flooding season.

Studies of Floodplain Deposits in the Floodplain of Voja-River at S. Bagramovo
Natural Systems and Resources, 2019 Established the thickness of alluvium (loamy facia) on the segmental-maned and flattened floodplain of Voja-river near Bagramovo-village. Within the various morphological types of the floodplain, the presence of both relatively ancient and younger sites has been determined.

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.
