The edge effect: lateral habitat ecology of an alluvial river flood plain
… of the Shifting Habitat Mosaic (SHM) of a river flood plain at the Nyack Research Natural Area in northwestern Montana. Our working hypothesis was that lateral habitats are important to the cycling of energy and materials within the SHM and contribute greatly to the productivity and biodiversity …

The Red River Flood Of 1997: The Role Of Government Agencies In The Flood Plain
… of three federal agencies in the Grand Forks Flood of 1997. The three agencies were selected for the scope of their impact on the disaster as well as their impact on the community. The United States Army Corps of Engineers, National Weather Service, and Federal Emergency Management Agency …

Flow in two-stage channels with the main channel skewed to the flood plain direction
… in the main channel is skewed slightly to the flood plain flow direction. The purpose of the study is to investigate flow mechanisms and flow behaviour in a situation which is more complex than a straight/parallel compound channel and less complex than meandering compound channel. In other …

Radiocarbon reservoir effects in the American bottom flood plain of the Mississippi River and adjacent uplands in southern Illinois
Radiocarbon reservoir effects (RREs) occur when the 14C activity in a system does not maintain equilibrium with atmospheric 14CO2 activity. Within aquatic systems, old (14C-depleted) carbon may dilute the current carbon pool by soil erosion, decomposition of old botanical and fauna remains, and …

Fluvial geomorphology and paleofloods in arid central Australia
… characteristics and chronology of the modern flood plain and paleoflood complexes, and discusses the geomorphic effects of high magnitude floods and the subsequent recovery and adjustment of the river. The Todd River has two kinds of flood plains: confined and relatively unconfined. Both have …

The evolution of the lower Missouri River: Stratigraphy, geomorphology, and habitat dynamics at Lisbon Bottom
… River valley, (2) 200 years of river management, flood plain development and farming has had a profound effect on the lower Missouri River and, (3) confined meander eddy accretion deposits have played a significant role in creating wetlands on Lisbon Bottom and along the entire lower Missouri …

An experimental investigation of the turbulent flow in a closed compound channel
… flow cells in both the main channel and the flood plain. The maximum values of the secondary velocities are at the comer region, on the interface between the main channel and the flood plain. In this region the mean velocity gradients are large, indicating that this might be an area of high …

A GIS compilation of field data from the Smith's Fork Archaeological Site (23CL223), Clay County, Missouri
… patterns that favored river terrace and flood plain locations along the Missouri River Valley system, such as Steed-Kisker phase agricultural communities, to time- and cost-effectively characterize deposits buried in these locations.

Application of trace analysis and chemometrics to environmental problems
… source of polycyclic hydrocarbons along its flood plain. The analysis of sub-groups of the data set showed that on ground not affected by the river only one source was describing the data. The sub-group containing just samples on the flood plain suggested the possibility of a third factor. …

Determination of coefficient of storage by use of gravity measurements.
… and lies on unconfined basin-fill deposits and flood-plain alluvium aquifers. The basin-fill aquifer overlies less permeable Rillito beds and is overlain by the flood-plain alluvium. The two upper aquifers are flat-bedded heterogeneous deposits of sand and gravel. The water table through these …
