Implications of floodplain dynamics for reservoir operation
… managing reservoirs considering socio-economic dynamics. We develop a proof-of-concept model for feedbacks between reservoir operation and floodplain development, a specific case of socio-economic feedbacks, and discuss its potential implications for reservoir management.

Investing Hysteresis in Floodplain Dynamics of Lakes in the Middle St. Johns River Using Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery
<p>Floodplain dynamics are often complex, with hysteresis potentially affecting the temporal relationship between flood stage and flood extent during subsequent inundation phases. This study leverages Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery to map flood extent in the Middle St. Johns …

Quantifying bottomland hardwood forest and agricultural grassland evapotranspiration in floodplain reaches of a mid Missouri stream
… hardwood forests (BHF) play an important role in floodplain dynamics, particularly along urban streams where flood mitigation is critical to protecting human life and property. Enhanced evapotranspiration (ET) of riparian floodplain forests could help reduce flooding through drying of soils and …

Fluvial and climatic controls on tropical agriculture and adaptation strategies in data-scarce contexts
… affecting tropical farming practices: river-floodplain dynamics and climate change. Despite data-related constraints, the environment of tropical rural areas still provides a unique opportunity to study several near-natural processes, such as the morphodynamics of mostly free-flowing rivers. …

Adaptive Silviculture in an urban floodplain forest: exploring functional traits and soil responses for climate ready forests
Floodplain forests within the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (MNRRA) are experiencing numerous ecological challenges related to altered hydrology, land use changes, introduced species, and climate change. One of the most pressing concerns is the loss of the predominant canopy …

An integrated framework for hydrology-hydrodynamic modelling of the Barotse floodplains, upper Zambezi river basin.
… and hydrodynamic processes for the Barotse floodplains is ever increasing especially with the advent of climate change/variability. Despite several studies in the Upper Zambezi Basin, there was an absence of an integrated online (internal) framework for coupling hydrology and hydrodynamic …

Remote sensing for geomorphic and hydrodynamic modeling and process understanding
… discharge and geomorphic processes controlling floodplain-river interactions are fundamental measures of fluvial geomorphology and important inputs and considerations for hydrodynamic modeling. Due to our anthropogenic dependency and interconnection with rivers, humans have developed …
