Clogging of riverbed substrates by fine sediment

Romain Maxime Dubuis

Riverbeds represent the habitat of numerous aquatic species. Exchanges between the groundwater, the hyporheic zone and the surface flow are also essential for river ecosystems. Fine sediment transported by rivers deposits inside or on top of the bed and mo ...

Reduction of riverbed clogging related to sediment flushing

Giovanni De Cesare, Romain Maxime Dubuis

The ecological effects of dams on sediment and river flow have been subject to an increasing attention, leading to the implementation of mitigation measures such as environmental flow release and sediment replenishment. However, fine sediment dynamics have ...

CRC Press/Balkema2023

A turbidity current is a turbulent, particle-laden gravity current that is driven by density differences resulting from the presence of suspended sediment particles. The current travels downslope, bearing a large amount of sediment over a great distance, a ...

Sediment transfer in the Rhône River Basin, Switzerland: the role of localized severe Alpine storm events on triggering turbidity currents in Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Koen Blanckaert, François Mettra

In Lake Geneva, a deep peri-Alpine lake in Switzerland, the sublacustrine Rhône River delta presents a deep canyon, the Rhône Canyon. Previous studies and recent observations show that low-velocity underflows and high-velocity turbidity currents pass frequ ...

Catalytic effects of photogenerated Fe(II) on the ligand-controlled dissolution of Iron(hydr)oxides by EDTA and DFOB

Janet Gordon Hering

Low bioavailability of iron due to poor solubility of iron(hydr)oxides limits the growth of microorganisms and plants in soils and aquatic environments. Previous studies described accelerated dissolution of iron(hydr)oxides under continuous illumination, b ...

Quasi-stationary flow structure in turbidity currents

Giovanni De Cesare, Shun Nomura

A turbidity current is a particle-laden current driven by density differences due to suspended sediment particles. Turbidity currents can transport large amounts of sediment down slopes over great distances, and play a significant role in fluvial, lake and ...

River inflows have a major influence on lake and reservoir water quality through their input of momentum, heat, oxygen, sediment, nutrients and contaminants. The fate of these components is controlled by the hydrodynamic processes at the interface between ...

Interpretable Scenicness from Sentinel-2 Imagery

Devis Tuia, Sylvain Lobry, Alex Hubertus Levering

Landscape aesthetics, or scenicness, has been identified as an important ecosystem service that contribute to human health and well-being. Currently there are no methods to inventorize landscape scenicness on a large scale. In this paper we study how to up ...

Composition and superposition of alluvial deposits drive macro-biological soil engineering and organic matter dynamics in floodplains

Claire Guenat, Pascal Turberg, Rodolphe Schlaepfer, Renée-Claire Le Bayon, Andreas Cedric Schomburg

Soil structure formation in alluvial soils is a fundamental process in near-natural floodplains. A stable soil structure is essential for many ecosystem services and helps to prevent river bank erosion. Plants and earthworms are successful soil engineering ...

The term “ecosystem engineering” emerged in the 1990s and is commonly used to refer to the activities of larger organisms like beavers and trees in rivers and streams. The focus on larger organisms may be motivated by their more visible effects on the envi ...
