(author)While most of the world's large rivers are heavily engineered, channel response to engineering measures on decadal to century and several 100 km scales is scarcely documented. We investigate the response of the Lower Rhine River (Germany-Netherlands) to engineering measures, in terms of channel slope and bed surface grain size. Field data...journal article 2021

Siele, Meles (author), Blom, A. (author), Frings, R. (author), Viparelli, Enrica (author)The main objective of this research is to improve our understanding of the relative contribution of the causes of long-term bed degradation in Rhine and other degrading rivers. That is, the research is intended to quantify past channel adjustment processes, mainly bed degradation and bed surface coarsening...abstract 2017
