Abstract:
... Abundant reserves of metals and oil have spurred large-scale mining developments across northwestern Canada during the past 80 years. Historically, the associated emissions footprint of hazardous metal(loid)s has been difficult to identify, in part, because monitoring records are too short and sparse to have characterized their natural concentrations before mining began. Stratigraphic analysis of ...

A model for stage–discharge relationship in two-stage wide meandering channels, devised by statistical analysis of new experimental boundary shear data and some published shear data, is presented. By evaluating the measured boundary shear percentage on floodplains of unequal length on either side along with corresponding wetted area percentage for sinuous channels, it is seen that different but pa ...

Population living near the floodplain gets crucially affected by migrating channels. Spatiotemporal relocation of Ganga River from Buxar to Azamabad over a period of 45 years (1975–2020) was measured using Landsat images. Study area was divided into 7 reaches (A, B, C ...

But over-utilization of floodplain resources had impacted functions of river system adversely. So, the present study attempts to formulate a hydro-bio-geomorphological framework to assess the lateral dimension ...

The dominant role of the flood pulse on the success of non-native species (NNSs) is what differentiates floodplains from other ecosystems, in terms of invasion. In this review, I discuss some patterns related to the performance of NNSs in response to the flood pulse. First, floods connect floodplain habitats and spr ...
