Rivers transport sediment to the coast, but how much get offshore is a mystery. A new study shows that deltas retain 28% of ...

In the Earth Surface Dynamics Lab at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) the behavior of rivers is modeled through the use of artificial rivers—flumes—through which water can be pumped at ...

Researchers have devised a better way to measure how fast sediment flows in rivers -- information that can help scientists and planners better prepare for flooding and weather-related events, ...

The Padma Barrage can revive southwest Bangladesh only with reliable Ganges flows, sediment management and protected ...

The total amount of money invested in the project. The total cost includes EU contribution as well as other project costs not covered by EU funding. It is expressed in euros. Amount of money, by way ...

A free-grid sediment budget linked the Surfer’s Point shoreline project to an estimated 39% decline in sand bypassing and 42% ...

In view of modern anthropogenic impacts, forecasted changes in climate, and resulting shifts in the frequencies and magnitudes of surface processes such as wildfires, landslides and large floods, ...

The slope of streambeds has dramatic and unexpected effects on sediment transport. Experimental data from the flume lab show that gravity does not facilitate sediment transport in the expected manner.

New research from SFU’s Jeremy Venditti dives into the science of going with the flow predicting the evolution of the Earth’s surface. Researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and The ...
