Janssen, D. (author)The dissertation explores the use of emergency measures, particularly the BresDefender, to prevent or delay levee failure and mitigate the impacts of floods, focusing on the Netherlands' flood protection systems. Levees are vital for protecting low-lying areas, but there's always a risk of failure, leading to significant societal and material...doctoral thesis 2024

Ylla Arbos, C. (author)Humans have intervened in rivers for centuries. River engineering measures have aimed at protecting populations against flooding, ensuring reliable and safe navigation, providing freshwater for drinking, domestic and industrial use, irrigation, and energy supply, and providing opportunities for recreation. All around the world, measures such as...doctoral thesis 2024

Chowdhury, M. Kifayath (author), Blom, A. (author), Ylla Arbos, C. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author)Climate change is responsible for global shifts in precipitation patterns and an overall in-crease in global temperatures. The transi-tions are anticipated to modify the river hydro-graph and sea level. The changes to the hy-drograph are also likely to influence sediment flux. These alterations imply shifts in both up-stream and downstream...abstract 2024

Liptiay, E.J.A. (author), Blom, A. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author)Over the past century, the main channel of the Waal has experienced erosion of approx-imately 1-2 metres (Ylla Arb´os et al., 2021; Chowdhury et al., 2023). This erosion leads to various problems such as instability of struc-tures or disruption to shipping. To address this ongoing degradation, a potential solution is the implementation of...abstract 2024

Gautam, K. (author), Wolf, M.E. (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author), Blom, A. (author)The dynamics of the bifurcating Karnali river in the western plains of Nepal and India is governed by the geomorphological processes in an alluvial fan. The dynamic branches showcase a notable degree of braiding, dominant channel switching and unequal discharge partitioning. Since recent switching of the dominant channel of Karnali system...abstract 2024

Spriggs, A.M.S. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author), Stancanelli, L.M. (author)Recent policy initiatives in Europe emphasize a movement towards nature-based solutions in flood management; however, a quantitative relationship between specific flood management measures and indicators of ecological health and biodiversity is difficult to establish (Penning et al., 2023). In the Netherlands, several studies have been conducted...abstract 2024

Crosato, A. (author)River morphology can be described at different scales: at the basin scale we distinguish the river network; at the reach scale the planform, the slope and average features, such as the width and bankfull water depth; at the cross-section scale the transverse variations of river bed topography; and at smaller scales we observe bedforms and...abstract 2024

(author), Savic, Dragan (author), Shao, Tan (author), Huang, Wei Min (author), Zhao, Tongtiegang (author), Chen, Xiaohong (author)Low-lying coastal cities are vulnerable to compound floods caused by many factors including river flows, tides and local rainfall. Many previous studies focus on the impacts of rainfall and tidal levels (two driving factors) on estuaries or regions near the main single river, while research about the three influencing factors on the floods...journal article 2024

Abolfazli, Ehsan (author), Osborn, Ryan (author), Dunne, K.B.J. (author), Nittrouer, Jeffrey A. (author), Strom, Kyle (author)Muddy sediment constitutes a major fraction of the suspended sediment mass carried by the Mississippi River. Thus, adequate knowledge of the transport dynamics of suspended mud in this region is critical in devising efficient management plans for coastal Louisiana. We conducted laboratory tank experiments on the sediment suspended in the...journal article 2024

van Denderen, R. Pepijn (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author), Paarlberg, Andries J. (author), Reneerkens, Michiel (author), Augustijn, Denie C. M. (author)Local river interventions, such as channel narrowing or side channels, are often necessary to maintain safety, ecology, or navigation. Such interventions have different effects on the river's bed morphology during periods of high- and low-discharge events. Mapping the bed-level variations for different discharge levels and understanding these...journal article 2024

Ylla Arbos, C. (author), Blom, A. (author), White, S. R. (author), Patzwahl, R. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author)Erosion-control measures in rivers aim to provide sufficient navigation width, reduce local erosion, or to protect neighboring communities from flooding. These measures are typically devised to solve a local problem. However, local channel modifications trigger a large-scale channel response in the form of migrating bed level and sediment...journal article 2024
