Abstract Natural rivers are inherently dynamic. Spatial and temporal variations in water, sediment, and wood fluxes both cause and respond to an increase in geomorphic heterogeneity within the river corridor. We analyze 16 two-km river corridor segments of the Swan River in Montana, USA to examine relationships between logjams (distribution density,...

Abstract The hydraulic resistance of groynes is an important factor in the determination of design flood water levels on rivers and the assessment of how much these levels are lowered by modifying the groynes. In standard one- or two-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic models for flood risk management, groynes are commonly represented as subgrid features...

Abstract New remote sensing technologies, and the meter-scale geospatial data they create, now allow for detailed urban landscape characterization, thereby advancing grid-based hydrodynamic models. However, using a uniform fine grid over urban catchments generally result in dense grids and can lead to prohibitive computational costs. Moreover, an inability...

Abstract Geothermal energy is sustainable and gaining momentum as a solution to energy crises and environmental issues. However, challenges like production temperature and thermal breakthrough can impact geothermal project efficiency. One innovative solution to alleviate the thermal breakthrough is to inject polymer-based materials that are encapsulated...

Abstract Dissolved organic and inorganic carbon (DOC and DIC) influence water quality, ecosystem health, and carbon cycling. Dissolved carbon species are produced by biogeochemical reactions and laterally exported to streams via distinct shallow and deep subsurface flow paths. These processes are arduous to measure and challenge the quantification...

Abstract It is increasingly acknowledged that the acceleration of the global water cycle, largely driven by anthropogenic climate change, has a disproportionate impact on sub-daily and small-scale hydrological extreme events such as flash floods. These events occur thereby at local scales within minutes to hours, typically in response to high-intensity...
