In single-threaded rivers, erosion and deposition balanced out. As a result, the channel’s width remains constant, allowing these rivers to lean into their bends and form wide, meandering paths ...

Dr. Lininger and collaborators plan to use scaled physical models of rivers and floodplains (flumes), numerical modelling, and field observations to determine how flooding, floodplain forest stand ...

Large wood (LW) in the river corridor (channel/s and surrounding floodplain) influences hydraulics, sediment deposition and erosion pattern, provides habitat and nutrients for biota, and influences ...
