Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 63, No. S1 (March 2018), pp. S156-S176 (21 pages) Palaeolimnological studies rely on assumptions regarding the distribution and completeness of lake deposits that are ...

Numerical modeling of sediment transport in hydropower reservoirs has emerged as a crucial field of study in water resources engineering. This multidisciplinary approach combines computational fluid ...

In this study, we present a numerical model for predicting sediment transport and the associated erosion and deposition processes in a natural reef area. The prediction system consists of several ...

The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) rivers carry a massive sediment load that feeds the world’s largest depositional system: the GBM megadelta. The mass of sediment transported annually by the GBM ...

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is well-known for maintenance dredging within the Great Lakes to support navigability and commerce. Tributaries connected to the lakes contribute to increased sediment ...

Sediment dynamics on Arctic shelves can impact coastal geomorphology, habitat suitability, and biogeochemical cycling, and are expected to be sensitive to changes in sea ice extent. Variability in ...

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, ...

Forces that shape the Earth's surface are recorded in a number of natural records, from tree rings to cave formations. In a recent study, researchers from The University of Texas at Austin show that ...
