Large wood (LW) elements transported during large floods are long known to have the
capacity to induce dangerous obstructions along the channel network, mostly at bridges and …

Nearly 50 years of research focused on large wood (LW) in rivers provide a basis for
understanding how wood enters rivers; how wood decays, breaks, and is transported …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Resources Monograph
Series, Volume 19. What are the forms and processes characteristic of mountain rivers and …

Understanding and modelling the dynamics of large wood (LW) in rivers during flood events
has spurred a great deal of research in recent years. However, few studies have …

Sediment traps with open check dams are widely used structures in flood hazard mitigation.
This paper and its companion review the literature on their design. The companion paper …

Debris floods most commonly occur in steep mountain channels and on their alluvial fans
but can also occur on small gravel bed rivers with watershed areas up to several hundred …

River managers are aware that wood-clogging mechanisms frequently trigger damage-
causing processes like structural damages at bridges, sudden channel outbursts, and …

The design of efficient hydrological risk mitigation strategies and their subsequent
implementation relies on a careful vulnerability analysis of the elements exposed. Recently …

Rivers with alluvial bars store more wood than those without, supplied through channel
shifting. However, wood dynamics (arrival or new deposits, departure or entrainment, and …
