Estimating Embeddedness From Bankfull Shear Velocity in Gravel Streambeds to Assess Sediment Impacts on Aquatic Biota
… bed streams, is negatively correlated with bankfull shear velocity (u*, m/s). This relationship can be modeled by emb = au*b, with baseline coefficient values of a = 10 and b = –1. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the applicability of this relationship across the U.S., to begin …

Prediction of Gravel Streambed Embeddedness Using Explainable AI and Machine Learning Techniques
… model predicted reach-scale embeddedness using bankfull shear velocity derived from remotely sensed data. This study extends that work by developing two boosting machine learning models using remotely sensed data and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to uncover important variables …

Modeling the transport of sand and mud in the Minnesota River
… The first chapter presents a study on the bankfull characteristics of rivers. The bankfull geometry of alluvial rivers is thought to be controlled by water and sediment supply, and characteristic sediment size. Here we demonstrate a novel finding: when bankfull shear velocity and bankfull …

Temporal variation in stream embeddedness and aquatic habitat
… at the network scale via its relationship with bankfull shear velocity. However, stream flow conditions and environmental factors are never constant; thus, embeddedness is expected to vary temporally. The primary focus of this study was to determine the environmental factors that influence …
