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 ...

Hydropower is often described as a cornerstone of the global energy transition because of its ability to provide reliable, ...

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 ...

In nature’s grand tapestry, rivers play a vital role in cutting through the landscape and delivering nutrients and sediments to coastal areas. The question arises: if rivers are constantly flowing ...

Sand and silt in rivers dramatically change their means of transport at a sharp boundary between grain sizes, regardless of how fast the river flows. A universal transport algorithm revealed the break ...

On the 20th World Rivers Day, Bettersize Instruments Ltd. proudly announces the release of DeepSizer 300, a groundbreaking ...

In this video, Salme Cook from the University of New Hampshire describes how she is using NCSA’s Blue Waters supercomputer to model estuaries. One of the big challenges oceanographers face is the ...

A debate is stirring in Southwest Washington over how to manage ongoing impacts from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.

New research from SFU’s Jeremy Venditti dives into the science of going with the flow predicting the evolution of the Earth’s surface. Researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and The ...

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 ...
