From:Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (Vol. 375) Peer-ReviewedThe River Rother, West Sussex, is suffering from excess sediment which is smothering the river bed gravels. This is thought to be exacerbating issues of pollution and degradation of ecosystems. This project aims to...

From:Landscape Architecture Frontiers (Vol. 9, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBrett Milligan stands out among all the scholars studying the future of the landscape profession in the context of climate change. He studied unique subjects, such as mud and river sediments. His projects often go beyond...
-
From:Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering (Vol. 45, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedIn this experimental study, the effect of a submerged vegetation patch with individual plants on the incipient motion of sediment has been examined. Results showed that a vegetation patch in the channel bed affected the...

From:Earth Surface Dynamics (Vol. 7, Issue 3) Peer-Reviewed
River deltas are sites of sediment accumulation along the coastline that form critical biological habitats, host megacities, and contain significant quantities of hydrocarbons. Despite their importance, we do not...

From:Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (Vol. 377) Peer-ReviewedSediment delivery into water sources and bodies results in the reduction of water quantity and quality, increasing costs of water purification whilst reducing the available water for various other uses. The paper gives...

From:Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (Vol. 367, Issue 367) Peer-ReviewedLarge rivers play a key role in delivering water and sediment into the global oceans. Large-river deltas and associated coastlines are important interfaces for material fluxes that have a global impact on marine...

From:Journal of Chemistry (Vol. 2017) Peer-ReviewedIn order to investigate the residual characteristics, sources, and ecological risk of PAHs in sediment from urban rivers, the sediments of 15 typical sites from Qinhuai River and Xuanwu Lake, which are typical urban...
-
From:Biogeosciences (Vol. 15, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedHuman activities, among which dredging and land use change in river basins, are altering estuarine ecosystems. These activities may result in changes in sedimentary processes, affecting biodiversity of sediment...
