Effects of altered river network connectivity on the distribution of Salmo trutta: Insights from a metapopulation model

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro, Alexia Maria Gonzalez Ferreras

Network connectivity is a key feature of rivers that affects patterns and processes in lotic ecosystems. Few studies have considered how changes in river reach connectivity might affect ecosystem attributes at a whole river network scale. The use of popula ...

Optimal regionalization of extreme value distributions for flood estimation

Anthony Christopher Davison, Sebastian Engelke, Peiman Asadi

Regionalization methods have long been used to estimate high return levels of river discharges at ungauged locations on a river network. In these methods, discharge measurements from a homogeneous group of similar, gauged, stations are used to estimate hig ...

Classification and prediction of river network ephemerality and its relevance for waterborne disease epidemiology

Andrea Rinaldo, Natalie Claire Ceperley, Theophile Mande, Francisco Javier Perez Saez

The transmission of waterborne diseases hinges on the interactions between hydrology and ecology of hosts, vectors and parasites, with the long-term absence of water constituting a strict lower bound. However, the link between spatio-temporal patterns of h ...

Insight gained from Principal Component Analysis in the analysis of river morphodynamics and associated sediment fluxes.

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont

Bedload transport fluxes are known to widely fluctuate in both time and space (Ma et al., 2014). The typical scales of fluctuations are broad and often overlap: from random particle motions at the grain scale to large bed morphologies evolving at the river ...

Local tributary widening for river rehabilitation

Anton Schleiss, Koen Blanckaert, Marcelo Leite Ribeiro

The hydro-morpho-sedimentary processes in confluence hydrodynamic zones (CHZ) subject to a local widening of the tributary were investigated in a series of laboratory experiments that were representative of the 20 major confluences of the Upper Rhone River ...

Covering the last mile in the Brazilian Amazon - The role of knowledge -sharing strategies in the provision of universal electricity access

Remote areas are becoming a topic of increasing international interest as they can provide insights in the transition towards a more sustainable energy future. Being geographically isolated and distant from different services (e.g. energy, health and educa ...

Dissecting UbuntuOne: Autopsy of a Global-scale Personal Cloud Back-end

Marko Vukolic, Hamza Harkous, Yongchao Tian

Personal Cloud services, such as Dropbox or Box, have been widely adopted by users. Unfortunately, very little is known about the internal operation and general characteristics of Personal Clouds since they are proprietary services. In this paper, we fo ...

Submarine fresh groundwater discharge into Laizhou Bay comparable to the Yellow River flux

David Andrew Barry, Xu Wang, Xin Luo

Near- and off-shore fresh groundwater resources become increasingly important with the social and economic development in coastal areas. Although large scale (hundreds of km) submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) to the ocean has been shown to be of the sa ...
