Advanced methods to investigate hydro‐morphological processes in open‐water environments
; (Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2021-05-06)
Hydro‐morphology describes the interactions between water and sediments in fluvial systems and the corresponding processes across all spatial and temporal scales. The results are natural and anthropogenically influenced ... -
Influence of Rarely Mobile Boulders on Channel Width and Slope: Theory and Field Application
; ; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2022-09-16)
Large, rarely mobile boulders are observed globally in mountainous bedrock channels. Recent studies suggest that high concentrations of boulders could be associated with channel morphological adjustment. However, a ... -
Overlooked Implication of Sediment Transport at Low Flow: Migrating Ripples Modulate Streambed Phototrophic and Heterotrophic Microbial Activity
; Mendoza‐Lera, Clara; Mutz, Michael; Risse‐Buhl, Ute (Water Resources Research, 2021-03-17)
Sandy streambeds are mobile even at low flow velocities at which sediments can be transported as bedload, more specifically as migrating ripples. Small variations in discharge can result in transitions between sediment ... -
Prioritizing reaches for restoration in a regulated Alpine river: Locally driven versus hydro‐morphologically based actions
Carolli, Mauro; Gelmini, Francesca; Pellegrini, Stefano; Deriu, Micaela; (River Research and Applications, 2020-10-19)
We discuss the prioritization of river reaches to be selected for restoration measures under the constraints of financial resource limitation. We propose and apply a simple approach based on the quantification of major ... -
Synchronous Changes in Sediment Transport and Provenance at the Iceland-Faroe Ridge Linked to Millennial Climate Variability From 55 to 6 ka BP
; ; ; (Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2019)
Unique marine sediment cores retrieved from the southwestern slope of the Iceland-Faroe Ridge (IFR), close to the main axis of the Iceland-Scotland Overflow Water (ISOW), revealed prominent sedimentary cycles reflecting ... -
The Influence of Sediment Transport on Stationary and Mobile Knickpoints in River Profiles
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2021-11-26)
The analysis of stationary and mobile knickpoints has been one of the most powerful concepts in tectonic geomorphology for decades. While several models combining bedrock incision and sediment transport are available, the ...
