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 ...

The study of sediment transport and riverbed dynamics is central to understanding the evolution of fluvial systems and their response to environmental change. Bedload movement, influenced by flow ...

Hydropower is often described as a cornerstone of the global energy transition because of its ability to provide reliable, cost-efficient power and flexibility to balance variable sources such as ...

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 ...

Researchers modeled the journey of microplastics released in wastewater treatment plant effluent into rivers of different sizes and flow speeds, focusing on the smallest microplastic fragments — less ...

The Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency has two sediment removal projects scheduled to begin this summer on the Feather River. SBFCA Executive Director Michael Bessette said work is scheduled to take ...

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 ...

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 ...
