Every year flood events lead to thousands of casualties and significant economic damage.
Mapping the areas at risk of flooding is critical to reducing these losses, yet until the last few …

Bars and subaqueous levees often form at river mouths due to high sediment availability.
Once these deposits emerge and develop into islands, they become important elements of …

Water and sediment inputs are fundamental drivers of river ecosystems, but river
management tends to emphasize flow regime at the expense of sediment regime. In an effort …

Small, seasonal lakes that exist in floodplains are rarely investigated, and yet they play an
important role in the protection of biodiversity and are highly susceptible to modification due …

Sediment flux from rivers to oceans is the fundamental driver of fluvio‐deltaic
morphodynamics and continental margin sedimentation, yet sediment transport across the …

Legacy effects on river sediments are those which alter the location and volume of
sediments and/or presence of contaminants within the sediments as a result of human …

This study discussed the environmental fate and ecological hazards of heavy metals in the
soil-plant system and sediment-water column around the former Pb-Zn mining Zeïda district …

Abstract The Mississippi River delta is undergoing a catastrophic drowning, whereby 5,000
km2 of low-lying wetlands have converted to open water over at least the past eight …

Modeling is an invaluable tool for studying sedimentary basin filling and for understanding
depositional processes with long recurrence intervals, including channel avulsion …

River delta complexes are built in part through repeated river‐channel avulsions, which
often occur about a persistent spatial node creating delta lobes that form a fan‐like …
