Plastic is an emerging pollutant, and the quantities in rivers and oceans are expected to increase. Rivers are assumed to transport land-based plastic into the ocean, and the fluvial and marine transport processes have been relatively well studied to date. However, the process ...

The Ems Estuary presents an enigmatic environment where a storm-generated intertidal basin interacts with a navigation channel subject to extremely high suspended sediment concentrations. Despite ebb dominance in parts of the navigation channel, the residual transport is dire ...
Longitudinal training dams (LTDs) are a promising alternative for river groynes. Here we summarize findings of a recent study focused on the along river transition from a series of river groynes to an LTD, where the flow divides between the fairway and the side channel between th ...

Hydrology of inland tropical lowlands

The Kapuas and Mahakam wetlands

Wetlands are important reservoirs of water, carbon and biodiversity. They are typical landscapes of lowland regions that have high potential for water retention. However, the hydrology of these wetlands in tropical regions is often studied in isolation from the processes taking p ...
