Spatial and temporal variability in floodplain sedimentation during individual hydrologic events on a lowland, meandering river: Allerton Park, Monticello, Illinois
… grained systems, vertical accretion dominates. Overbank flooding and floodplain inundation are dependent on bank height and local topographic variability and this leads to highly variable deposition both spatially and temporally. In order to better understand the dynamics of flooding, single …

Beaver as drivers of hydrogeomorphic and ecological processes in a mountain valley
… these beaver dams. The in-channel dam triggered overbank flooding in the study area, killing vegetation in areas that were deeply flooded and deposited ~750 m3 of sediment on the floodplain and terrace west of the river. The study area formed a spatially heterogeneous beaver meadow after the dam …

Stream channel adjustments and persistence of change in response to beaver damming on a fluvial fan, Odell Creek, Montana
… channel, except where beaver damming has caused overbank flooding, creating multi-thread channels. The study reaches represent downstream variability including non-dammed sites and beaver dams built and abandoned over the last decade. In-channel sediment characteristics and storage were …

Surface Water and Groundwater Hydraulics, Exchange, and Transport During Simulated Overbank Floods Along a Third-Order Stream in Southwest Virginia
… of surface and groundwater flows during overbank floods are rare. We conducted five sets of experimental floods to mimic floodplain reconnection. Experimental floods entailed pumping stream water onto an existing floodplain swale, and were conducted throughout the year to capture seasonal …

Hydraulic modelling and flood inundation mapping in a bedrock-confined anabranching network: the Mekong River in the Siphandone Wetlands, Laos
… assumed to be similar to the gauged channels for flooding discharges).<br/>In general, the study has helped to develop methods to model the complex river network with<br/>data constraints (i.e. the boundary conditions). The findings include: (i) the developed<br/>pseudo-bathymetry based on a SPOT …
