Journal ArticleDOI
Geospatial organization of fluvial landforms in a gravel-cobble river: Beyond the riffle-pool couplet
TL;DR: In this article, the authors delineate and map spatially explicit fluvial landforms in two-dimensional plan-view within a gravel-cobble bed river using twodimensional hydrodynamic delineation and then statistically examine MU geospatial patterns for indicators of deterministic geomorphic control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of LiDAR-derived, spatially distributed vegetation roughness on two-dimensional hydraulics in a gravel-cobble river at flows of 0.2 to 20 times bankfull
TL;DR: In this article, LiDAR-derived, meter-scale resolution raster of vegetation canopy height as well as an existing algorithm to spatially distribute stage-dependent channel roughness was used to study the spatially distributed effects of riparian vegetation on fluvial hydrodynamics during low flows to large floods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significant decadal channel change 58–67 years post-dam accounting for uncertainty in topographic change detection between contour maps and point cloud models
Jennifer K. Carley,Gregory B. Pasternack,J. R. Wyrick,Jesse R. Barker,P. Bratovich,D. Massa,Gary D. Reedy,Thomas J. Johnson +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a method that overcomes the unknown point density of contour (and other historical) data sets and allows for some assessment of DoD uncertainty on the basis of information on topographic variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling energy dissipation and hydraulic jump regime responses to channel nonuniformity at river steps
TL;DR: In this article, a parsimonious semianalytical numerical model of step hydraulics is developed to quantify energy dissipation and delineate hydraulic jump regimes, accounting for discharge, jump submergence, and nonuniform channel geometry through a step.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revealing the natural complexity of fluvial morphology through 2D hydrodynamic delineation of river landforms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new theory for delineating and mapping channel landforms at the morphological-unit scale that eliminates in-field subjective decision making, adds full transparency for map users, and enables future systemic alterations without having to remap in the field.
