The geomorphologic response of a large pristine alluvial river to tremendous deforestation in the South American tropics: The case of the Araguaia River

TL;DR: The geomorphic response of the Araguaia River to catastrophic deforestation of the Cerrado since 1970s is discussed in this article, where the authors demonstrate that the river is undergoing a substantive increase in bed load transport and changes in its geomorphology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluid and sediment dynamics of upper stage plane beds

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the fluid and sediment dynamics of upper stage plane beds using laser anemometry and found that the relative motion of grains and fluid is related to relative motion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphodynamics of small-scale superimposed sand waves over migrating dune bed forms

TL;DR: In this article, the kinematics and morphodynamics of low-amplitude, small-scale sand waves developed over migrating dunes were examined using data drawn from laboratory experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

River Suspended Sediment Load Prediction: Application of ANN and Wavelet Conjunction Model

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered artificial neural network (ANN), wavelet analysis and ANN combination (WANN), multilinear regression (MLR), and sediment rating curve (SRC) models for daily suspended sediment load (S) modeling in the Iowa River gauging station in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sand Motion induced by oscillatory flows: sheet flow and vortex ripples

TL;DR: In this article, the wave-related sand transport is still very difficult to predict due to the complexity of its underlying processes, which mainly take place in a thin layer near the sea bed in the wave boundary layer.
