River dams provide many benefits, including flood control. However, due to constantly
evolving channel morphology, downstream conveyance of floodwaters following dam …

River deltas grow by repeating cycles of lobe development punctuated by channel
avulsions, so that over time, lobes amalgamate to produce a composite landform. Existing …

Suspended sediment plays a vital role in the regional and global cycling of carbon and
nutrients by carrying carbon and nutrients from headwaters into lowland rivers and the …

Rivers are dynamical systems that are thought to evolve towards a steady-state
configuration. Then, geomorphic parameters, such as channel width and slope, are constant …

The evolution of a fluvial landscape is a balance between tectonic uplift, fluvial erosion, and
sediment deposition. The erosion term can be expressed according to the stream power …

Morphological changes in river channels are influenced by flow and sediment conditions
and channel boundaries, and making adjustments to the river morphology within a …

Large and complex braided channels (> 1 km wide) in the Source Region of the Yangtze
River (SRYR) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China, are characterized by a unique alpine …

Stability of nitrogen cycle is a key indicator to aquatic health. In recent years, water and
sediment inflows to the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) have changed significantly. To reveal …

Despite a multitude of models predicting sediment transport dynamics in open‐channel flow,
self‐organized vertical density stratification that dampens flow turbulence due to the …

Downstream width variations can generate pool‐riffle morphology under experimental
conditions, in numerical simulations and natural river channels. The present understanding …
