Hydrogeomorphic Changes Along mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain Rivers Transitioning from Non-tidal to Tidal: Implications for a Rising Sea Level
Sea level rise is affecting reaches of coastal rivers by increasing water levels and propagating tides inland. The transition of river systems into...

Assessment of bioavailable nitrogen and phosphorus content in the sediments of Indian mangroves
Efficient nutrient cycling and adequate sediment bioavailable nutrient supply are considered to be the two most important factors regulating the high...

Interlinking erosion susceptibility, channel geometry and stream power: a case study of the Mayurakshi River, eastern India
One of the major geomorphic processes that have assumed significance and turned into a quasi-natural hazard in the Anthropocene is soil erosion....

Relationship between morphology and sediment transport in a canyon river channel, Southern Brazil
PurposeMountain rivers differ from alluvial rivers due to their morphology and hydraulic characteristics. Within various types of mountain rivers,...

Grain-size gap and downstream fining revealed in less chemically altered Brahmaputra Sandbars
PurposeLimited studies exist on the downstream variation of grain size in sand-bed rivers, particularly in natural sediment regimes. The impact of...

Distribution of the bioavailable and total content of copper and lead, in river sediments of the Jamapa-Atoyac fluvial system, Mexico
The Jamapa-Atoyac fluvial system (JAFS) is tropical river system, which flows from the Pico de Orizaba, the highest elevation in Mexico, to end in...

Relationship between enrichment, toxicity, and chemical bioavailability of heavy metals in sediments of the Cai River estuary
This study focuses on heavy metals (HMs) (Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb) along with Al, Fe, Mn, organic carbon (TOC), and carbonates (TIC) detected in...

Fault systems impede incision of the Yarlung river into the Tibetan plateau
It is widely accepted that tectonics generally enhances river incision. However, why rivers have not incised further into orogenic plateaus to...
