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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Midwater sediment plumes that are discharged through pipes used by mining machinery that descend 1,000 meters or more into the ocean’s aphotic zone become a highly turbulent cloud of suspended ...

New research shows that the increasing vulnerability of the Mekong delta to floods, salt intrusion and erosion is caused by insufficient sediment in the river not climate-induced rise in sea levels.

The Delaware Estuary has a history of high anthro-pogenic nutrient loadings but has been classified as a high-nutrient, low-growth system due to persistent light limitation caused by turbidity. While ...
