Recent advances in understanding bedload transport under unsteady flow conditions are
presented, with a particular emphasis on laboratory experiments. The contribution of …

The surface of the streambed in gravel-bed rivers is commonly coarser than the underlying
bed material. This surface coarsening, or 'armouring', is usually described by means of the …

This paper investigates nearly 30 years of monitoring of sediment fluxes in an instrumented
Alpine basin (Rio Cordon, Italy). The collected bedload and suspended sediment transport …

Bedload particle hops are defined as successive motions of a particle from start to stop,
characterizing one of the most fundamental processes of bedload sediment transport in …

The importance of interactions among stream hydrology, morphology, and biology is well
recognized in studies of stream ecosystems. However, when quantifying the impacts of …

In gravel bed rivers, bed load transport exhibits considerable variability in time and space.
Recently, stochastic bed load transport theories have been developed to address the …

Large particles strongly influence flow resistance, energy dissipation, bed stability, and
channel morphology in mountain streams. We conducted flume experiments to evaluate …

Understanding and predicting bedload transport is an important element of watershed
management. Yet, predictions of bedload remain uncertain by up to several order (s) of …

The interactions between water, sediment and biology in fluvial systems are complex and
driven by multiple forcing mechanisms across a range of spatial and temporal scales. In a …

A flume experiment was conducted to study channel adjustment to episodic sediment supply
in mountain streams. The bulk sediment used for the bed and feed included grain sizes 0.5 …
