The study of sediment transport and riverbed dynamics is central to understanding the evolution of fluvial systems and their response to environmental change. Bedload movement, influenced by flow ...

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is well-known for maintenance dredging within the Great Lakes to support navigability and commerce. Tributaries connected to the lakes contribute to increased sediment ...

Sediment transport dynamics underpin the evolution of river systems, governing morphological changes, channel stability and floodplain evolution. At its core, the movement of sediment involves the ...

The slope of streambeds has dramatic and unexpected effects on sediment transport. Experimental data from the flume lab show that gravity does not facilitate sediment transport in the expected manner.

A new IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP), entitled Development of Radiometric Methods and Modelling For Measurement of Sediment Transport in Coastal Systems and Rivers, will investigate how ...

New research from SFU’s Jeremy Venditti dives into the science of going with the flow predicting the evolution of the Earth’s surface. Researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and The ...

Thanks to the momentum of European Union policies, disused dams are being removed for the purpose of restoring rivers. One example of this is the Olloki dam (Gipuzkoa), which was the subject of a ...

A submarine landslide boulder preserved in 240-million-year-old deep-sea sediments, Dolomite Mountains. In November 1929, a large earthquake severed a transatlantic cable connecting Europe with the ...

Cosmogenic krypton in zircon crystals reveals millions of years of erosion, sediment transport, and landscape evolution in southern Australia.

Researchers have devised a better way to measure how fast sediment flows in rivers -- information that can help scientists and planners better prepare for flooding and weather-related events, ...
