The geometry of alluvial river channels both controls and adjusts to the flow of water and
sediment within them. This feedback between flow and form modulates flood risk, and the …

There is a paradox in the relationship between bedload transport rates and flow variables:
laboratory and field studies have reported on how bedload transport rates depend on flow …

In the Erlenbach stream, a pre‐alpine steep channel in Switzerland, sediment transport has
been monitored for more than 25 years. Near the confluence with the main valley river …

Indirect bedload transport measurements have been made with the Swiss plate geophone
system in five gravel‐bed mountain streams. These geophone sensors record the motion of …

Understanding bed load transport fluctuations in rivers is crucial for development of a
transport theory and for choosing a sampling interval for “mean” transport rates. Field‐scale …

Bedload transport is known to be a highly fluctuating temporal phenomenon, even under
constant (mean) flow conditions, as a consequence of stochasticity, bedform migration, grain …

In seismology, the signal is usually analysed for earthquake data, but earthquakes represent
less than 1% of continuous recording. The remaining data are considered as seismic noise …

Sediment transport during flood events often reveals hysteretic patterns because flow
discharge can peak before (counterclockwise hysteresis) or after (clockwise hysteresis) the …

The Swiss plate geophone system is a bed load surrogate monitoring technique that is used
to quantify bed load transport in steep streams. The amplitude of the signal recorded by the …

Abstract We examine broadband (5–480 Hz) seismic data from the Erlenbach stream in the
Swiss Prealps, where discharge, precipitation, and bed load transport are independently …
