Sediment connectivity: a framework for understanding sediment transfer at multiple scales
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2015 A major challenge for geomorphologists is to scale up small‐magnitude processes to produce landscape form, yet existing approaches have been found to be severely limited. New ways to scale erosion and transfer of sediment are thus needed.

Sustainable sediment management in reservoirs and regulated rivers: Experiences from five continents
Earth's Future, 2014 By trapping sediment in reservoirs, dams interrupt the continuity of sediment transport through rivers, resulting in loss of reservoir storage and reduced usable life, and depriving downstream reaches of sediments essential for channel form and aquatic ...

Review of wave-driven sediment resuspension and transport in estuaries
Reviews of Geophysics, 2014 Waves are fundamentally important to the physical and biological functioning of estuaries. Understanding and predicting contaminant transport, development of sedimentary structures, geomorphological response to changes in external forcings such as rising

Water Injection Dredging for improving and preserving reservoir storage capacity: modelling and measuring tools [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 Water Injection Dredging (WID) has been successfully applied for removing sediment deposits in reservoirs, which results in an increase of their storage capacity.

IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2013 We introduce Visual Sedimentation, a novel design metaphor for visualizing data streams directly inspired by the physical process of sedimentation. Visualizing data streams (e. g., Tweets, RSS, Emails) is challenging as incoming data arrive at unpredictable rates and have to remain readable.

Spatiotemporal variation and tendency analysis on rainfall erosivity in the Loess Plateau of China
Hydrology Research, 2020 Rainfall erosivity is an important factor to be considered when predicting soil erosion. Precipitation data for 1971–2010 from 39 stations located in the Loess Plateau of China were collected to calculate the spatiotemporal variability of rainfall ...

Predisposition Factor of Safety of Landslide Dams from Typhoon Talas, Kii Peninsula, Japan
Forum Geografi, 2022 Landslide dams are less frequent than other landslides, and their very existence is often very-much short-lived, because the temporary dam tends to collapse rapidly.

Supercarriers of antibiotic resistome in a world’s large river
Microbiome, 2022 Background Antibiotic resistome has been found to strongly interact with the core microbiota in the human gut, yet little is known about how antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) correlate with certain microbes in large rivers that are regarded as ...
