Romanos, C. (author)The role played by the Mekong River in the organization of land and people is inextricably linked with a particular spatial category. The concept of the hydrological catchment extends the space of the river far beyond the limits of the river’s perennial waterbodies, to encompass vast areas inhabited by millions of people speaking different...doctoral thesis 2023

Li, Jiaguang (author), van der Vegt, Helena (author), Storms, J.E.A. (author), Tooth, Stephen (author)Crevasse splays generate subtle local relief and contribute to fluvial basin sedimentary filling but controls on splay development along dryland rivers remain poorly understood owing to limited field, laboratory, and numerical modelling studies. Based on previously-acquired field data and new remote sensing observations of splay morphology...journal article 2023

Gao, Weilun (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Kleinhans, Maarten G. (author), Miao, Chiyuan (author), Cui, Baoshan (author), Shao, Dongdong (author)A river bifurcation is critical for distributing water, sediment and nutrients to the downstream branches of deltaic river networks. However, the downstream branches of a bifurcation can be linked by a connecting channel cutting through deltaic floodplains. The floodplain connecting channel as a downstream control can affect water...journal article 2023

Chomba, Innocent C. (author), Banda, Kawawa E. (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author), Eunice, Makungu (author), Sichingabula, Henry M. (author), Nyambe, Imasiku A. (author)The rapid development of free and open-access hydrological models and coupling framework tools continues to present more opportunities for coupled model development for improved assessment of floodplain hydrology. In this study, we set up an Upper Zambezi hydrological model and a fully spatially hydrological-hydrodynamic coupled model for the...journal article 2022

Crosato, A. (author), Grissetti-Vázquez, A. (author), Bregoli, F. (author), Franca, M.J. (author)Climate change has a direct influence on both hydrology and floodplain vegetation of water courses, which are key players in river morphodynamics. The river system response to climate change is complex and the effects of non-linear interactions between alterations in water, sediment and vegetation remain incompletely understood. Which of...journal article 2022

(author), Nyambe, Imasiku A. (author), Ellender, Bruce (author)Floodplain wetlands are a fundamental part of the African continent’s ecosystem and serve as habitat for fish and wildlife species, biodiversity, and micro-organisms that support life. It is generally recognised that wetlands are and remain fragile ecosystems that should be subject to sustainable conservation and management through the use of...review 2021

de Bruijn, Max (author)Conventional dike reinforcement measures do not take vegetation into account, while vegetation contains wave damping properties. Reasoning for this is that vegetation in general is seen as temporary and hence may be removed in the future. In this case study for the Dutch waterboard WDOD, the wave damping properties of vegetation in a floodplain...master thesis 2020

Gupta, Tanvi (author)River Ganga flows through one of the most sacred pilgrimage spots in the city of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh where it meets its largest tributary Yamuna. The site at the confluence of these rivers hosts the Hindu festival – “Kumbh Mela” where myriads of pilgrims’ bathe in river Ganga. <br/><br/>The festival acts as an external force of human...master thesis 2020

Juan, Andrew (author), Gori, Avantika (author), Sebastian, Antonia (author)In this study, we compare the ability of two riverine flood control approaches: channelization and stream preservation/setbacks, to alleviate the adverse impacts of rapid urbanization. To study the effects of structural intervention and urban development on the evolution of the floodplain, we have chosen two neighboring urban watersheds in...journal article 2020

Candel, Jasper H.J. (author), Makaske, Bart (author), Kijm, Niels (author), Kleinhans, Maarten G. (author), Storms, J.E.A. (author), Wallinga, Jakob (author)Meandering rivers are abundant on Earth, from the largest rivers to the smallest tributaries. The classical view of meandering rivers is a sinuous planform with rounded bends, which grow and migrate until they are cut-off. However, many low-energy meandering rivers have planforms that are much more complex than this classical view due to the...journal article 2020

Verschuren, Lisa (author)Flooding is globally one of the most damaging natural hazard. Flood risk will most likely increase in the near future due to increases in flood frequency attributed to climate change and growth in population and wealth in flood prone areas. This growth in wealth and population is increasingly considered as a major driver for the increase in...master thesis 2019

Hartog, Mervin (author)The design proposal is situated along the edge of the city of Strasbourg, the design deals with a existing flooding problem in the area that currently limits the development of the area. The building looks at providing a new scenic route that crosses through a multitude of different landscapes and elevations. The elevated walkway is meant to...master thesis 2019

(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

Juez, Carmelo (author), Schärer, C. (author), Jenny, H. (author), Schleiss, A. J. (author), Franca, M.J. (author)Overbank sedimentation is predominantly due to fine sediments transported under suspension that become trapped and settle in floodplains when high-flow conditions occur in rivers. In a compound channel, the processes of exchanging water and fine sediments between the main channel and floodplains regulate the geomorphological evolution and are...journal article 2019

van Toorenenburg, K.A. (author)A generic life cycle applies to crevasse splays in non-degradational fluvial systems, typically ending in healing and abandonment. Crevasse-splay channels adjust to a graded equilibrium profile through proximal erosion and distal deposition, with their distal termini acting as a (prograding) local base level. When proximal incision advances to...doctoral thesis 2018

Li, Jiaguang (author), Yang, Xiucheng (author), Maffei, C. (author), Tooth, Stephen (author), Yao, Guangqing (author)In some internally-draining dryland basins, ephemeral river systems terminate at the margins of playas. Extreme floods can exert significant geomorphological impacts on the lower reaches of these river systems and the playas, including causing changes to flood extent, channel-floodplain morphology, and sediment dispersal. However, the...journal article 2018

Taroudaki, Kallirroi (author)The project proposes a new approach for the design of river riparian zones, researching on the debatable issue of living on the floodplains. In recent years, there has been a shift in the tradition of engineering the river landscape towards a more landscape-friendly perspective. However, the focus still remains usually on nature and recreation,...master thesis 2017

Li, W. (author), Su, Zhenghua (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), de Vriend, H.J. (author)The downstream peak discharge increase during hyperconcentrated floods in the Yellow River has been attributed to bed erosion, roughness reduction and floodplain effects. While great improvements have been made on the nderstandings of the roles of bed erosion and roughness reduction, the effects of floodplain remain poorly understood. Here, as a...journal article 2017
