Flow structure of an asymmetric large river confluence
The focus of this study is on flow structure and confluence morphodynamics at a large river confluence with an asymmetrical planform. Five sets of field measurements of three-dimensional velocity components and bed topography at the confluence of the Wabash River and Embarras River along the …

Satellite remote sensing of mixing dynamics at a large river confluence
… are detectable on remotely sensed images of rivers downstream from confluences, no systematic methodology has been developed for assessing mixing over distance of confluent flows with differing suspended sediment concentrations. In contrast to field measurements of mixing below confluences, …

Land-use proposals for the Liesbeeck-Black River confluence area : an investigation into the key constraining factors for land-use decision-making
… evaluate the factors influencing land-use in the confluence area. The objectives are to identify the key constraining factors to land-use planning in the confluence area, and to propose appropriate land uses in light of these key constraining factors. These proposals must bear in mind the local …

Land Use Variation on Mid-Columbia Plateau Upland and Lowland Archaeology Sites
… lowland Wenas Creek-Yakima River confluence. While much of the archaeological record fits expectations derived from cultural-environmental models of human land use developed during this research thesis, significant variation in the archaeological record remains unexplained.

What is Lost When Time is Saved: Drawing in Collaboration with the Urban Periphery
… by a highway. I animate with sand near the river confluence on land preserved after a historic flood. I make my own bricks in this Brick City, setting up in locations of former terra cotta clay mines. I sit in the tension of what author Michael Martone calls the “midwestern paradox,” in …

Coal waste deposition and the distribution of freshwater mussels in the Powell River, Virginia
… mussel fauna was conducted in the Powell River, Virginia, to identify critical habitat for endangered species, quantify substratum composition and coal waste deposition, and to assess population trends during the last half century. Mussels were collected as far upstream as Powell River …

Measuring flow and mixing at stream confluences using large-scale particle image velocimetry, in-stream techniques, and small unmanned aerial systems
Confluences, locations where two rivers flow into one another, are characterized by the mixing of water, dissolved nutrients, chemicals, pollutants, and sediment. The process of mixing at confluences is inherently related to patterns of confluent flows, yet the complex nature of confluence …

High-resolution spatial and temporal evolution of two-dimensional flow structure at a small stream confluence
Confluences are recognized as locations within rivers where interaction between incoming flows produces complex hydrodynamic conditions characterized by distinct spatial patterns of mean or turbulent flow. Despite recognition of this hydrodynamic complexity, few studies have mapped in detail …
