River confluences represent critical geomorphological nodes where distinct water bodies merge, generating complex hydrodynamic interactions that govern sediment transport and deposition. Variations in ...

Researchers have devised a better way to measure how fast sediment flows in rivers -- information that can help scientists and planners better prepare for flooding and weather-related events, ...

Sand and silt in rivers dramatically change their means of transport at a sharp boundary between grain sizes, regardless of how fast the river flows. A universal transport algorithm revealed the break ...

Askoa Ibisate, a geographer specializing in fluvial geomorphology, has analyzed how the disappearance of the Olloki dam ...

Oceanography, Vol. 30, No. 3, SPECIAL ISSUE ON Sedimentary Processes Building a Tropical Delta Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow: The Mekong System (SEPTEMBER 2017), pp. 22-33 (12 pages) ABSTRACT.

Sediment transport dynamics underpin the evolution of river systems, governing morphological changes, channel stability and floodplain evolution. At its core, the movement of sediment involves the ...

Thanks to the momentum of European Union policies, disused dams are being removed for the purpose of restoring rivers. One example of this is the Olloki dam (Gipuzkoa), which was the subject of a ...
