A comprehensive review on geomembrane systems application in hydropower
Giovanni De Cesare, Samuel Luke Vorlet
Geomembrane systems have been used at hydropower plants as rehabilitation and mitigation technology for several decades and are now used worldwide. In the context of planning an energy transition that promotes the sustainable use of water resources for ene ...
2024Morphological processes and potential for lacustrine delta restoration
Giovanni De Cesare, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Alexandre Philippe Louis Antoine Fourrier
Most lacustrine deltas are nowadays highly anthropized systems. River training works during past centuries considered rivers mainly as vectors of water and sediments from a point source to a sink. However, numerous problems have been identified by resident ...
2024Performance and accuracy of cross‐section tracking methods for hydromorphological habitat assessment in wadable rivers with sparse canopy conditions
Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Robin Schroff
This article investigates the performance and accuracy of continuous Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position tracking for hydromorphological surveys, based on a comprehensive river restoration monitoring campaign. The a ...
2024HASPIDE: a project for the development of hydrogenated amorphous silicon radiation sensors on a flexible substrate
Giovanni De Cesare, Sylvain Dunand, Jonathan Emanuel Thomet, Mikaël Martino, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Matthew James Large
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is a material with a very good radiation hardness and with the possibility of deposition on flexible substrates like Polyimide (PI). Exploiting these properties, the HASPIDE (Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon PIxels DEt ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Assessing the universality of Habitat Suitability Indexes (HSI) for brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) In relation to ecohydraulic variables
Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Giulio Calvani, Francesca Padoan
The Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) is a quantitative index that determines the capacity of a given area to meet habitat requirements for a specific species with respect to given variables. The degree of universality of this index is not well understood ye ...
2024The clogging of riverbeds: A review of the physical processes
Giovanni De Cesare, Romain Maxime Dubuis
Fine sediment represents an important part of the solid flux of rivers. Due to the size of these particles, they are often transported as suspended load. They gradually fill the pores of the substrate forming the hyporheic zone or cover the substrate by se ...
2023Experimental characterization of root-reinforced riparian sediment deposits in a restored and widened river course
Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona
The Arbogne River is located mainly in the Swiss canton of Fribourg. The River was meandering through the plane at a very low gradient and several exceptional historic floods with large sediment accumulation are mentioned. After important river training wo ...
2023Mechanistic 2D flow-erosion modelling of vegetated river banks
Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Massimiliano Schwarz
We present a simple, vertically-explicit 2D model of river bank erosion that also takes the effect of sediment stabilization by plant roots into account. The model is solved in quasi-analytical form for an exemplary non-stationary hydrograph temporal signa ...
2023Limits between surface and inner clogging of riverbed by fine sediment
Giovanni De Cesare, Romain Maxime Dubuis
The deposition of fine sediment on top of the riverbed affects the reproduction of spawning fishes and some species of benthos. The clogging of the substrate resulting from this deposition is a well-known issue in rivers affected by anthropogenic activity ...
2023Fulfilling 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 ...
