Variation in bedrock erodibility along a river profile gives rise to differences in vertical incision rate and influences sediment characteristics such as clast lithology, coarse sediment generation ...

A new study of the freshwater greenfin darter fish suggests river erosion can be a driver of biodiversity in tectonically inactive regions. New findings could explain biodiversity hotspots in ...

Rivers are Earth’s arteries. Water, sediment and nutrients self-organize into diverse, dynamic channels as they journey from the mountains to the sea. Some rivers carve out a single pathway, while ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — Rivers are Earth’s arteries. Water, sediment and nutrients self-organize into diverse, dynamic channels as they journey from the mountains to the sea. Some rivers carve out a ...

Michael Robinson, a doctoral student in the Graduate Program of Hydrologic Sciences, was working on his dissertation, but he needed a better tool to get the job done. The tool he was looking for was ...

A new satellite-based study has reconstructed suspended sediment concentration across the Yellow River over nearly 40 years, revealing not only a long-term decline but also a recent break in that ...

Slowing erosion along stream banks is the priority for landowners and others who want a cleaner, healthier Illinois River, planners for the watershed agree. The Arkansas Natural Resources Division and ...

Engineers studying how the Kimball Street dam’s removal could affect Elgin’s water supply found lower Fox River water levels shouldn’t impact the intake system unless there’s extreme erosion. But it’s ...

Every spring, melting snow and heavy rainfall brings a higher risk of flooding and riverbank erosion to parts of Canada. Bank erosion is responsible for a significant portion of annual flood damage in ...

Rivers are Earth's arteries. Water, sediment and nutrients self-organize into diverse, dynamic channels as they journey from the mountains to the sea. Some rivers carve out a single pathway, while ...
