TLDR
In this paper, the authors studied the long-term evolution of the Tagliamento River, a large gravel-bed river in northeastern Italy, and argued that the longterm channel evolution was driven mainly by human intervention at the reach scale (i.e., sediment mining and channelization).About:

Characterizing geomorphological change to support sustainable river restoration and management
TL;DR: In this paper, a temporal analysis of fluvial geomorphology supports process-based management that targets underlying problems in river ecology, such as loss of physical habitat, disruption to the longitudinal continuity of the river, and lateral disconnection between aquatic, wetland, and terrestrial ecosystems.

Geomorphology and River Management: Applications of the River Styles Framework
Gary Brierley,Kirstie Fryirs +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a transition towards an "ecosystem approach" to environmental management requires coherent (integrative) scientific guidance, and Geomorphology, the study of the form of the earth provides a landscape template with which to ground this process.

Morphological response to river engineering and management in alluvial channels in Italy
Nicola Surian,Massimo Rinaldi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed all existing published studies and available data, and aimed to reconstruct a general outline of the main channel adjustments that have occurred in Italian rivers during the past 100 years.

Estimation of erosion and deposition volumes in a large, gravel‐bed, braided river using synoptic remote sensing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a methodology for channel change detection, coupled with the use of synoptic remote sensing, for erosion and deposition estimation, and applied it to a wide, braided, gravel-bed river.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of channel response in disturbed alluvial channels
TL;DR: In this article, the adjustment of channel geometry and phases of channel evolution are characterized by six process-oriented stages of morphologic development, premodified, constructed, degradation, threshold, aggradation, and restabilization.
