Many high-mountain rivers in Asia transport more sediment downstream compared to a few years ago. Changes in sediment levels have a particularly strong impact on agriculture, water quality, flood ...

Researchers have devised a better way to measure how fast sediment flows in rivers -- information that can help scientists and planners better prepare for flooding and weather-related events, ...

River confluences represent critical geomorphological nodes where distinct water bodies merge, generating complex hydrodynamic interactions that govern sediment transport and deposition. Variations in ...

Rivers are alive - constantly shifting, reshaping, and carving the landscape. This video reveals why rivers move, exploring the science of erosion, sediment transport, and the engineering that keeps ...

A new IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP), entitled Development of Radiometric Methods and Modelling For Measurement of Sediment Transport in Coastal Systems and Rivers, will investigate how ...

Researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have devised a better way to measure how fast sediment flows in rivers—information that can help ...
