Morphodynamics of the Karnali Fluvial Fan: An assessment of the effects of human interventions on the morphodynamics of an alluvial river using optical remote sensing data

Humans have a long history of intervening in natural river systems. These human interventions affect how water and sediment interact with the bed and banks of the river. The interaction between water and sediment is called morphodynamics and is an important component of the natural ecosystem of the river and its surroundings. This research aims...

Planetary-scale classification of natural and human-induced sandy shoreline evolution: A semi-automated method that employs Machine Learning and Satellite Derived Shorelines over the past decades

Today's coastal zones are densely inhabited as the majority of the world's population lives in these attractive areas. The shorelines in coastal zones are shaped by complex spatial and temporal variable interactions between natural forcings like changes in mean sea-level, tides, wave and wind conditions, and storm surges. Besides, natural...

Hydraulic and morphological impact of a closure dam in the Gulf of Khambhat

Tidal basins are highly dynamic environments with a complex behavior that is often disturbed by human activities. Considering that tidal dynamics have a direct impact on surrounding engineering infrastructures, adjacent coastlines, nature environment and socio-economic human activities, it is crucial to know the impact of human interventions on...

Understanding the interactions between crescentic bars, human interventions and coastline dynamics at the East coast of South Korea

Crescentic sandbars are a commonly observed nearshore feature in coastal zones that strongly influence the surfzone circulations and are connected with the occurrence of rip currents. Furthermore, their spatial characteristics have been associated with the shoreline position in the form of shoreline perturbations, indicating morphological...
