The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is well-known for maintenance dredging within the Great Lakes to support navigability and commerce. Tributaries connected to the lakes contribute to increased sediment ...

Numerical modeling of sediment transport in hydropower reservoirs has emerged as a crucial field of study in water resources engineering. This multidisciplinary approach combines computational fluid ...

The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) rivers carry a massive sediment load that feeds the world’s largest depositional system: the GBM megadelta. The mass of sediment transported annually by the GBM ...

Sediment dynamics on Arctic shelves can impact coastal geomorphology, habitat suitability, and biogeochemical cycling, and are expected to be sensitive to changes in sea ice extent. Variability in ...

A Review of Hydrodynamic Mechanisms, CFD Modeling, and Coastal Engineering Implications Seabed scour caused by propellers is ...

The CRP objectives will be the development of the use of natural radioactivity and naturally radioactive sediment for tracing (black sand tracing) and associated methodologies on the followings topics ...

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.

Wind, rain and other forces move vast quantities of sediments across the planet, shaping mountains, riverbeds, farmlands and coasts. Understanding the mechanisms of sediment transport has important ...

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, ...

High-turbidity events (HTEs) are common phenomena in shallow-water environments that can alter ecological interactions. The relative contributions of river input (external loading) vs. resuspension ...
