Fulfilling Riverscape – a creative interdisciplinary approach

Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Sylvie Tram Nguyen

Hydrological, water technological, managerial and human induced processes affect aquatic, amphibian and terrestrial organisms and their habitats, far beyond the main channel of a river. This Riverscape includes diverse riparian habitats which vary in space ...

Eco-morphodynamic carbon pumping by the largest rivers in the Neotropics

Paolo Perona

The eco-morphodynamic activity of large tropical rivers in South and Central America is analyzed to quantify the carbon flux from riparian vegetation to inland waters. We carried out a multi-temporal analysis of satellite data for all the largest rivers in ...

Morphological evolution of the Rhone River in the Martigny bend

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Samuel Luke Vorlet, Najla Schaller

Sustainable water management is a principal matter to ensure safety of waterways (Berga, 2016). In this framework, the correction of the Martigny bend is a priority measure of the 3rd Rhone River correction in Switzerland, which aims at increasing the floo ...

Untersuchung der ökomorphologischen Wirksamkeit von Sedimentzugaben unterhalb von Talsperren [Assessment of the eco-morphological effectiveness of sediment augmentation downstream of dams]

Giovanni De Cesare, Christian Mörtl

The regulation of discharge and the retention of sediments in reservoirs disturb the natural water dynamics in residual flow stretches below reservoirs. However, a dynamic river morphology as well as near-natural hydrological hydrographs are fundamen ...

Bedload transport assessment on a physical model of a large river widening using ultrasonic Doppler velocity measurements

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Jean-Noël Saugy

The 3rd correction of the Rhône River is the largest flood protection project in Switzerland so far. Covering a length of 162 km, it aims to protect some 100,000 people and prevent flood damages, which could raise up to 10 billion Swiss francs for major ev ...

Braided rivers networks dynamics: analyzing topographic data from a large flume experiment

Christophe Ancey, Daniel Vito Papa

Braided rivers are highly dynamical systems characterized by varying network-like structures even under quasi-steady conditions. Understanding their dynamics is crucial in geomorphology and river engineering (e.g., river restoration in Alpine and piedmond ...

Pioneer plant Phalaris arundinacea and earthworms promote initial soil structure formation despite strong alluvial dynamics in a semi-controlled field experiment

Claire Guenat, Pascal Turberg, Renée-Claire Le Bayon, Andreas Cedric Schomburg, Muhammad Riaz

Soil structure formation is among the most important processes in riverfloodplains which are strongly influ-enced by alluvial dynamics. In the context of river restoration projects, a better understanding of soil structureformation in habitats adjacent to ...

Hydraulic-morphological habitat assessment in rivers considering residual flow, sediment replenishment and artificial flood events

Severin Stähly

Dams store water and trap sediment in their reservoirs. Downstream river segments, hence, are affected by a limited sediment dynamics. This becomes obvious by river bed incision, limited geomorphological variability and depletion of hydraulic habitats for ...

Dissolved Organic Matter and Associated Trace Metal Dynamics from River to Lake, Under Ice-Covered and Ice-Free Conditions

Natacha Tofield-Pasche, Hannah Elisa Chmiel

The present study investigates the changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition and its influences on trace metal dispersion from the Shuya River (SR) in the Petrozavodsk Bay of Lake Onega during ice covered and ice-free periods. Humic substances ...

Probabilistic Prediction and Forecast of Daily Suspended Sediment Concentration on the Upper Yangtze River

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

Sediment transport in suspension can represent more than 90% of a river's total annual flux of sediment. In the case of the Yangtze River, more than 99% of the sediment supplied to the sea is suspended load. Suspended sediment is thus an important componen ...
