Impact of River Morphology on River–Groundwater Exchange in Braided River Systems

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Braided river systems are an important source for groundwater recharge, but their complex morphology makes river–groundwater exchange fluxes difficult to estimate. Their river channel morphology changes frequently after floods, which has effects on recharge rates that have rarely been studied in the past.

Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We establish a framework for the identification of postcranial remains in hippopotamoids by describing and comparing for the first time two late Miocene hippopotamoids from Toros‐Menalla, Chad (Hexaprotodon garyam, an early hippopotamid, and Libycosaurus bahri, the last African anthracothere) with the common hippopotamus.

Entangled Foodways and Livelihood Pathways: Cinnamon, State Interventions, and Everyday Life in Hmong Communities of Northern Vietnam

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agroecological practices of ethnic minority farmers in Vietnam's northern uplands are being reshaped by intersecting pressures of land‐use reform, market integration, and state‐backed crop promotion. Among Hmong communities in the south of Lào Cai Province (former Yên Bái Province) cinnamon was once valued primarily for its medicinal ...

Local Elites in Chile's Pisco Valley: Dispossession, Legal Mobilisation and Intertwined Citizenship

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In countries in the Global South, citizenship is often closely tied to access to water and land ownership. In Latin America, the literature has primarily explored social mobilisation and identity reconfiguration in response to development‐driven processes of land and water dispossession affecting peasants, rural and Indigenous communities ...

Experimental investigation of root mass density and vegetation discontinuity effects on riverbank erosion

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study area: Steep mountainous rivers in subtropical Taiwan Study focus: Riverbank erosion is a critical issue in Taiwan’s steep river systems, where intense rainfall, high sediment loads, and frequent channel disturbances promote rapid bank instability ...

Between Dispossession and Inclusion: Land Injustice and Project‐Based Citizenship in the Bagré Irrigation Scheme (Burkina Faso)

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large‐scale irrigation schemes are central to agrarian transformation in sub‐Saharan Africa, yet their political implications are often reduced to questions of land redistribution or agrarian differentiation. Although existing scholarship has documented how irrigation restructures agrarian relations and generates dispossession, less attention ...

THE INFLUENCE OF SUBSURFACE FLOW TO THE RIVERBANK EROSION

PROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 2004
The water level of a river in the monsoon region decreases largely in the dry season. It is known that riverbank erosion occurs in the low water level, and it is considered that the subsurface flow influences it. We obtained particle diameters and hydraulic conductivities from some samples by field survey in the Mekong River side. Critical velocity and

“They Look At Us Like Parasites”: The Corporeal Stigmatization and Pathologization of Deportees in Tijuana, Mexico

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the embodied and institutional forms of marginalization experienced by Mexican deportees in Tijuana. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in clinics and social service organizations, it explores how deportees are corporeally stigmatized, denied legal recognition, and pathologized as addicts in need of coercive ...

Estimation of riverbank erosion by combining channel morphological models with AI techniques

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Simulating riverbank erosion involves modeling the complex interactions between water flow, sediment transport, and bank stability. The present study employs a novel approach, combining the Self Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm and the Long Short-Term ...
