Fluvial sediment transport and depositional systems encompass the processes by which rivers erode, entrain, convey and deposit sediments of varying sizes across diverse environments. Flow variability, ...

The fluvial geomorphology field has long investigated the interplay between climate, hydrology, and sediment transport in river systems. Recent studies ...

Sediment provenance and river system evolution encompasses the reconstruction of where riverborne sediments originate and how fluvial networks develop, reorganise and interact with Earth’s surface ...

The Torridon sandstone in northwestern Scotland preserves six kilometers of river sediment from Precambrian times. But what sort of geological events were able to leave their mark for researchers to ...

THE EVOLVING LANDSCAPE: The changing scene -- Geomorphology and the field problem -- PROCESS AND FORM: Climate and denudational processes -- Weathering -- The drainage basin as a geomorphic unit -- ...

Rivers integrate the landscape, carrying and depositing water, sediment, large wood, carbon, and nutrients. Our research is focused on river and floodplain dynamics and the interactions between ...

High Mountain Asia (HMA), which refers to the Tibetan Plateau and the surrounding high Asian mountains, is home to the world’s third-largest ice reservoir and the origin of many of Asia’s large rivers ...

Many high-mountain rivers in Asia transport more sediment downstream compared to a few years ago. Changes in sediment levels have a particularly strong impact on agriculture, water quality, flood ...

Land-cover change from forest to agriculture is widely recognized as a primary cause of accelerated soil erosion. Floodplains in agricultural watersheds represent fluvial archives for understanding ...

In the context of phenomena, fluvial refers to processes and dynamics associated with the action of running water in rivers and streams, including erosion, sediment transport, and deposition. Fluvial ...

“The specific sediment yield in catchments with high glacial cover is on average an order of magnitude higher than glacier-free basins, and appears overall higher in Asia’s glacierized catchments than ...
