Stochastic Simulations and Machine Learning Modeling to Predict Bedload Transport and Bed Topography
In computational hydraulics models, predicting bed topography and bedload transport with sufficient accuracy remains a significant challenge. An accurate assessment of a river's sediment transport rate necessitates a prior understanding of its bed topograp ...
EPFL2024Simulation of fine sediment deposition on floodplains
Giovanni De Cesare, Carmelo Juez Jiménez
Rivers extend beyond the channels that are typically associated with this word. Of particular interest are flood plains, where important hydro- and morphodynamic processes occur as a result of recurrent flooding. Ecologically, they also support the establi ...
2023Enhancing Flood Resilience: Sediment Management in Le Bez Torrent
Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Romain Nathan Hippolyte Merlin Van Mol
In the canton of Bern, Switzerland, the “Le Bez” torrent is known for its flash floods, causing sediment and wood debris buildup in Villeret village settled on the alluvial fan. To mitigate this issue, a sediment/wood trap system is being implemented upstr ...
Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT)2023Eco-morphodynamic carbon pumping by the largest rivers in the Neotropics
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 ...
2023Decadal shoreline erosion and recovery of beaches in modified and natural estuaries
Sandy beaches in estuaries and bays (BEBs) are common landforms on the coasts of many major cities. They exist under a wide range of settings and their morphology is controlled by their distance from the estuary/bay entrance, exposure to different types of ...
