Duró, G. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)After the European Water Framework Directive, riverbanks in several countries had the protections removed to improve the water quality and the river ecosystem. Particularly, the Meuse River currently has several kilometres of freely eroding banks, which may have consequences for other river functions such as navigation and flood conveyance. The...conference paper 2020

Duro, G. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Kleinhans, M. G. (author), Roelvink, D. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Vessel-induced waves affect the morphology and ecology of banks and shorelines around the world. In rivers used as waterways, ship passages contribute to the erosion of unprotected banks, but their short- and long-term impacts remain unclear. This work investigates the effects of navigation on bank erosion along a reach of the regulated Meuse...journal article 2020

Duro, G. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Kleinhans, Maarten G. (author), Winkels, Timotheus G. (author), Woolderink, Hessel A.G. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Distinct bankline patterns appeared after the removal of protection works along a navigable reach of the Meuse River. A series of oblique embayments now dominate the riverine landscape after ten years of bank erosion, but their location and asymmetry cannot be explained yet. This work analyses and integrates field measurements of flow, ship...journal article 2019

Vargas-Luna, Andrés (author), Duro, G. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)While the scientific community has long recognized that alluvial rivers are the product of interactions between flowing water and bed material transport, it is increasingly evident that vegetation mediates these interactions and influences the stream channel characteristics. In a novel set of mobile bed laboratory experiments with variable...journal article 2019

Duro, G. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Kleinhans, Maarten G. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)We apply structure from motion (SfM) photogrammetry with imagery from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to measure bank erosion processes along a mid-sized river reach. This technique offers a unique set of characteristics compared to previously used methods to monitor banks, such as high resolution and relatively fast deployment in the field....journal article 2018

Duro, G. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Kleinhans, Maarten (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)In recent years, many riverbanks in Europe had their protections removed to reactivate natural erosion processes and improve riparian habitats. Yet, other river functions may be affected, such as navigation and flood conveyance. The quantification and prediction of erosion rates and volumes is then relevant to manage and control the integrity...journal article 2018

Vargas Luna, A. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Byishimo, P. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Alluvial rivers are shaped by sequences of water flows excavating their channels. Observations show that besides the magnitude, also the frequency and duration of streamflow oscillations might be important for the river channel formation. In addition, the river morphology appears influenced also by both size and degree of uniformity of the...journal article 2018

Vargas Luna, A. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Anders, Niels (author), Hoitink, Antonius J.F. (author), Keesstra, Saskia D. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)The prediction of the morphological evolution of renaturalized streams is important for the success of restoration projects. Riparian vegetation is a key component of the riverine landscape and is therefore essential for the natural rehabilitation of rivers. This complicates the design of morphological interventions, since riparian vegetation...journal article 2018

Le, T.B. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)To maintain a navigable channel and improve high-flow conveyance, engineers have recently proposed constructing longitudinal training walls as an alternative to the traditional transverse groynes. However, previous work has shown that the system of parallel channels created by a longitudinal training wall might be unstable in rivers with...journal article 2018

Le, T.B. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Rivers have been trained for centuries by channel narrowing and straightening. This caused important damages to their ecosystems, particularly around the bank areas. We analyse here the possibility to train rivers in a new way by subdividing their channel in main and ecological channel with a longitudinal training wall. The effectiveness of...journal article 2018

Duro, G. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Kleinhans, M (author), Crosato, A. (author)Waterways serve for several functions besides transporting goods and people. The ecological importance of navigable rivers has taken much attention during recent decades bringing efforts to improve these natural corridors for fauna and flora (Boeters et al., 1997). Following the policy of the European Water...abstract 2017

Le, T.B. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Recently, engineers propose longitudinal training walls to replace traditional transverse groynes. This new intervention is expected to maintain a navigation route under low flow conditions while not hampering flow conveyance of the river channel. Navigation occurs mainly in low-land river channels where ...abstract 2017

Bonilla Porras, J.A. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Although many studies regarding bank erosion and accretion can be found in the literature, it is not common to find works studying the interaction between opposite banks. Some existing morphodynamic models describe bank erosion as an event that depends on near-bank flow and bed topography, as well as on...abstract 2017

Vargas Luna, A. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Calvani, G. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Simulating the morphological adaptation of water systems often requires including the effects of plants on water and sediment dynamics. Physical and numerical models need representing vegetation in a schematic easily-quantifiable way despite the variety of sizes, shapes and flexibility of real plants. Common approaches represent plants as rigid...journal article 2016

(author)Migrating alternate bars form in alluvial channels as a result of morphodynamic instability. Extensive literature can be found on their origin and short-term development, but their long-term evolution has been poorly studied so far. In particular, it is not clear whether migrating bars eventually reach a (dynamic) equilibrium, as in previous...journal article 2012
