▼ An investigation of the sediments and ecology of the dump ground was conducted in March 1995. The primary purpose of the investigation was to analyse factors which may be affecting the benthic biota on the dump ground. These include heavy metal content of the sediments, grain size characteristics of the sediments, and population distribution of the benthic biota on and surrounding the dump ground. It was intended that information obtained could be utilised in future investigations on the ecology of the dump ground, noting changes that have occurred over time. Heavy metal analysis of Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Mercury, Lead, and Zinc from the dump ground, turning basin, and inner harbour area indicate that concentrations of all heavy metals were all very low and well within resource consent limits. Sediment and ecological samples from 25 sites on and surrounding the dump ground were taken. Two other sites were also surveyed, one from the turning basin, another from the inner harbour area (dredged material). Examination of the sediments has shown that although the dredged material consists solely of mud sized particles the sediments of the dump ground are mainly sand sized sediments. This suggests that during the dumping process dispersion of mud occurs. Mud is transported off the dump ground in a southeasterly direction. Ecological evaluation indicates benthic species diversity and abundance of macrofauna is high, with no species in particular dominating the species assemblage. Comparison between this study and a 1993 survey shows increased diversity over the dump ground. Increased population abundance was evident and larger sized bivalves are indicative of an ageing population. Field experiments examining the kelp beds indicate a decline in the population of Ecklonia radiata from 1993 to 1996. It is thought that this decline may be due to suspended sediment load from the Turanganui River, as the kelp beds are situated in the direction of discharge from the River.

▼ Sediment transport studies incorporating radio frequency identification (RFID) tracers are becoming a key component in understanding sediment transport dynamics due to the data they provide on spatial and temporal variability. This technique involves inserting small glass cylindrical transponders into stones then seeding those stones in the river bed. Existing methods of using RFID tracers involve either manually sweeping the channel bed after a hydrologic event or placing a series of fixed antennas along the channel to detect when sediment containing a RFID tracer passes that point. The first method is limited because it does not correlate the hydrodynamic conditions with the movement of the sediment, while the second method is limited by spatial resolution afforded by the fixed antennas. The goal of this research is to develop a flume with the capacity to accurately measure sediment inputs, transport, and export in real time. This is accomplished by automating the sediment supply, using a sediment trap with a light table to monitor sediment leaving the flume, and implementing an RFID sediment tracking system to provide real time tracking of the movement of individual clasts over the course of an experiment. A tilting flume with sediment supply and capture systems was designed and built with an integrated RFID tracking system to enable sediment transport experiments to be conducted in the flume while continuously tracking the position of RFID tagged sediment. The RFID tracking system, located under the floor of the flume, consists of a carriage containing the antennas, tuners, multiplexing RFID readers, batteries, and rollers to enable the carriage to roll along the flanges of the beam supporting the flume. The carriage is transported back and forth the length of the flume using cogged belts and pulleys powered by a DC motor and controlled by a PLC with limit switches. The identification of RFID tags detected by the carriage is transmitted Bluetooth to a stationary computer that also receives carriage position information from a laser range finder. Validation tests were conducted with vertically oriented RFID tags to establish the detection range and accuracy of estimating RFID tag positions. When no steel cross members were present, an RFID tag could be detected up to 21 cm above the flume floor with streamwise position estimation accurate within 1 cm. When steel cross members or multiple RFID tags were present, the detection range and position estimation accuracy decreased. Further refinement to this technique could be achieve by experimenting with different antenna designs which may provide a larger detection range and by using different type of PIT tags to enable tracking of smaller sized sediment. The developed flume and tracking system will allow us to obtain new and better information about sediment transport which should improve fundamental understanding and aid in the design of channel restoration projects.

▼ The method of using a remotely underwater vehicle (ROV) equipped with push corers to collect marine sediments has fundamental advantages, including precise localization of coring sites, visual recognition assistance from seafloor images, and high-density sampling within a small area. Currently, an ROV that aims to collect marine sediments is always equipped with robotic arms, which are manipulated by a pilot on the surface vessel to carry out sediment sampling through push corers. However, a well-trained pilot is required to assure sampling efficiency. Even to a well-trained pilot, it is still challenging to perform sediment sampling by manipulating robotic arms under bad weather. Moreover, it is essentially infeasible to install robotic arms with high degrees of freedom on small and medium-sized ROVs, causing that sediment sampling is typically excluded from the to-do list of those ROVs. Inspired by the automatic tool changer (ATC) and tool spindle of a computer numerical control (CNC) machine, this research develops a single actuator automatic push corer (APC) that can be integrated with an ROV as a payload device for sediment sampling purposes. The APC has four subsystems, including a vertical sampler, a rotating tube changer, a protective frame, and an electric power and communication medium. The vertical sampler consists of a transmission gear set, a rack, and a clamp. The rotating tube changer consists of a bevel gear pair, a Geneva mechanism, a shaft, and a turntable. The protective frame consists of a motor base and a supporting frame. The electric power and communication medium is a watertight cable that connects the APC actuator to the ROV junction box. Through the combination of the vertical sampler and rotating tube changer, the APC actuator can simultaneously drive these two subsystems to perform the sampling and tube changing sequentially. The APC actuator and components of the vertical sampler and rotating tube changer are all mounted on the motor base. The supporting frame protects the turntable and sampling tubes and allows the APC to firmly settle on the seafloor during sediment sampling. The watertight cable allows the operating voltage and control signals for the APC actuator to be transmitted to the APC from a mother ship through the ROV; it also allows the feedback signals of the APC actuator to be returned back to the mother ship through the ROV.

▼ Centuries-long intensive land use change in the northeastern U.S. provides the opportunity to study the response timescale of geomorphic processes to anthropogenic perturbations. In this region, deforestation and the construction of dams following European settlement drastically altered the landscape, leading to the impoundment of sediment in mill ponds. This legacy sediment continues to be released into transport decades after a dam has been removed or breached. Geochemical tracers can help distinguish sediment sources and understand how sediment moves through a watershed. The South River in western MA is located in a formerly glaciated watershed, and these surficial deposits compose 98% of the area. It experienced two generations of damming, beginning with smaller mill dams in the 18th-19th centuries, followed by the construction of the Conway Electric Dam (CED), a 17 m tall hydroelectric dam in the early 20th century. Legacy sediment deposits from sediment stored behind mill dams cover 1.5% of the watershed area. The CED is located near the outlet of the river, providing a century-long depositional record for the watershed, during reforestation. I hypothesize that sediment mobilized from human activity will contain a different geochemical signature than glacial material, that recent erosion in the watershed is primarily from anthropogenic legacy deposits rather than from glacial age landforms, and channel widening is occurring in reaches of the channel composed of legacy sediment, rather than in glacially confined reaches. These hypotheses were tested through a two part investigation, consisting of a sediment tracing study using Hg, and a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis of channel changes using aerial photographs from 1940 and 2014. Samples were collected from river bank exposures of 11 glacial deposits and four mill pond legacy sites. Two vibracores measuring 476 and 500 cm were collected in reservoir sediment stored behind the CED in 2013 and 2017, respectively. Hg concentrations range from 1-4 ppb in glacial sediment, 3-380 ppb in legacy sediment, and 2-18 ppb and 7-50 ppb in the two CED cores. I used Hg as a tracer to estimate percent contributions to the CED reservoir from each watershed source during the 20th century. Results from a sediment mixing model suggest glacial sources contributed 32 ± 15%, and legacy sediment deposits contributed 68 ± 15% during the 20th century. Based on 137Cs dates on the cores, high amounts of legacy sediment filled in behind the CED prior to 1953 (74 ± 35 %), and background erosion from glacial deposits dominated from 1953 until the reservoir was filled in the 1980s (63 ± 14%). GIS analyses using aerial photographs from 1940 and 2014 indicate that the channel did not significantly widen along any section of the river, however, increases in sinuosity (up to 12%) occurred in the legacy sediment dominated reaches of the channel, and minor increases (1-2%) occurred in the glacial reaches. Overall, these analyses show an increase in the amount of sediment released in… Advisors/Committee Members: Noah P. Snyder (Thesis advisor).

▼ Sediment capping is currently considered one of the most convenient and efficient risk containment strategy for conatminated sediments. Conventional capping consists of placing one or more layers of inert materials on top of the contaminated sediment, retarding the flux of the pollutants to the water body and shielding the sediments from erosion or resuspension. The introduction of adsorbent materials promotes sequestration of the contaminants onto the capping media, but aging or leaks can affect the efficiency of such a reactive-cap. In a bioreactive capping, the use of an adsorbent material suitable for microbial colonization, facilitates both sequesteration and biodegradation of the contaminant. The aim of study is to experimentally evaluate the extent to which capping media selection affects bioactivity in model capping systems. Bench top laboratory studies investigated biological activity in model systems consisting of conventional capping materials (granular activated carbon [GAC], organoclay, and sand), mineral media, pore water extracted from contaminated sediments, electron acceptors (oxygen, nitrate, sulfate and iron) and the electron donor, naphthalene (a model polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon). Microcosms were prepared and inoculated with microbial enrichements prepared with contaminated sediments collected from a river adjacent to a former manufactured gas plant. Concentrations of naphthalene and nahAc gene (encoding a dioxygenase associated with aerobic biotransformation of PAHs), were monitored for 100. Experimental data were collected and modeled; the relative kinetic rates were used to evaluate efficiencies of the different capping materials. Results suggest that GAC was the most efficient of the capping materials tested. Data showed that naphthalene concentration decreases only in oxic sediment-cap systems during the observation time, and naphthalene decay was statistically significant in oxic microcosms prepared with GAC. Abundance of the nahAc gene was sustained in oxic microcosms prepared with GAC and sand. Within oxic sediment-cap systems, a relationship between the naphthalene mass in solution and the gene copy numbers was observed in the microcosms prepared with activated carbon. This suggests that the nature of the capping material affected the interaction between abundance of a catabolic gene (nahAc) and concentration of the substrate (naphthalene).

▼ This research collected surface (<15 cm) sediments from estuarine and coastal zones off southwestern Taiwan. Basic sediment parameters, including grain size, and total organic carbon (TOC) and total inorganic carbon (TIC) concentrations were analyzed. For heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn), total metal concentrations and metal fractions separated by sequential extraction techniques were determined. This study also obtained several previously collected sediment cores in the Gaoping Canyon area that had been dated by other researchers. Results obtained in this study are used in order to understand the distribution patterns of heavy metals in coastal sediments off southwestern Taiwan, and related to regional environmental changes regarding heavy metals. The distribution of heavy metal fractions and their geochemical significances were studied. Results obtained in this study indicate that physicochemical characteristics of sediments largely affected heavy metal distribution in coastal sediments off southwestern Taiwan. Regional flow patterns contributed to the observed distribution patterns. Higher heavy metal concentrations were found in sediments collected near the Gaoping river mouth, the Gaoping Canyon and its nearby continental slope, and a narrow banded offshore region off the Anping-Tainan urban areas. These results reflect the distribution of fine-grained sediments in the studied area. Vertical profiles of heavy metals in four dated cores showed drastic increases of heavy metal concentrations since 1995-2000, and some extent of decreases during 2003-2006 in two of the cores. Although actions of environmental protection regarding heavy metal pollution had taken place in this region, decreases in sediment heavy metals were mostly attributed to episodic typhoon and possibly sediment slumping events. With the recently intensified landslides and mud flows in the upper reaches of the river that would bring upstream soils and particles to the estuarine region, leading to the decrease of metal concentrations in the Gaoping estuarine sediments, a more significant decreasing trend in sediment metal concentrations can be speculated for the future.

▼ Global studies assert that anthropogenic activity now leads to disproportionately higher rates of landscape change compared with background geomorphic processes. This study explores the relative influence of anthropogenic, glacial, and geologic processes on erosion rates (E) in the northeastern United States (NEUS) by analyzing published erosion and sedimentation data across multiple methods and timescales. I compile erosion rates and sediment yields from records of stream gauging, reservoir sedimentation, lake sedimentation, cosmogenic nuclides in stream sediment, and thermochronology. These data serve as a comparison point for quantified volumes of sediment deposited in valley bottoms as a result of European settlement in the NEUS, where glacial history may influence the availability of erodible sediment and, as a result, the relative magnitude of deposited sediment. I hypothesize that E in the formerly glaciated region will be lower than unglaciated E over last century (stream gauging and reservoir sedimentation) timescales due to the erosive power of continental glaciation and resultant thin upland soils, and that there will be an increase in E evident over the last century as a result of human influence. 499 sites with location data were compiled across the NEUS, converted to erosion rate (mm/yr) and sediment yield (Ys; t km-2 yr-1), and analyzed using statistical z-tests to determine whether the population means are significantly different. Mean E from all record types across both the glaciated and unglaciated NEUS exhibits a range smaller than one order of magnitude (0.012-0.055 mm/yr), much less variable than order-of-magnitude differences reported by other researchers comparing modern and geologic erosion, both regionally and globally. Last century timescales exhibit higher E in the unglaciated region than the glaciated region, but only reservoir sedimentation shows a significant difference in E between regions (0.012 vs. 0.055 mm/yr; glaciated and unglaciated, respectively); stream gauging E did not exhibit a significant regional difference, likely due to the large basin sizes, short measurement timescales, and disproportionate spatial distribution of the measurements. E does not increase from geologic to last century timescales: late Quaternary (lake sedimentation and cosmogenic nuclide) records consistently yield lowest E, with geologic (thermochronology) records showing the highest E in both regions, perhaps indicating the relative importance of E over timescales during which major orogenies were occurring in the NEUS. The similarities in mean E and large range of the distributions of all timescales, however, point to the relative stability of E over time in the NEUS. Advisors/Committee Members: Noah P. Snyder (Thesis advisor).

▼ Terrestrial organic carbon (OC) erosion, remineralization, transport through river networks, and burial in marine sediments is a major pathway of the global carbon cycle. However, our ability to constrain these processes and fluxes is largely limited by (i) analytical capability and (ii) temporal sampling resolution. To address issue (i), here I discuss methodological advancements and data analysis techniques for the Ramped PyrOx serial oxidation isotope method developed at WHOI. Ramped-temperature pyrolysis/oxidation coupled with the stable carbon (12C, 13C) and radiocarbon (14C) analysis of evolved CO2 is a promising tool for understanding and separating complex OC mixtures. To quantitatively investigate distributions of OC source, reservoir age, and chemical structure contained within a single sample, I developed a kinetic model linking RPO-derived activation energy, 13C composition, and radiocarbon content. This tool provides a novel method to fundamentally address the unknown relationship between OC remineralization rates and chemical structure in various environmental settings. To address issue (ii), I additionally present results from time-series sample sets collected on two end-member systems: the Congo River (Central Africa) and the LiWu River (Taiwan). For the Congo River, bulk and plant-wax-lipid 13C compositions indicate that a majority of particulate OC is consistently derived from downstream, C3-dominated rainforest ecosystems. Furthermore, bulk radiocarbon content and microbial lipid molecular distributions are strongly correlated with discharge, suggesting that pre-aged, swamp-forest-derived soils are preferentially exported when northern hemisphere discharge is highest. Combined, these results provide insight into the relationship between hydrological processes and fluvial carbon export. Lastly, I examined the processes controlling carbon source and flux in a set of soils and time-series fluvial sediments from the LiWu River catchment located in Taiwan. A comparison between bedrock and soil OC content reveals that soils can contain significantly less carbon than the underlying bedrock, suggesting that this material is remineralized to CO2 prior to soil formation. Both the presence of bacterial lipids and a shift toward lower activation energy of 14C-free OC contained in soil saprolite layers indicate that this process is microbially mediated and that microbial respiration of rock-derived OC likely represents a larger geochemical flux than previously thought. The results presented in this thesis therefore provide novel insight into the role of rivers in the global carbon cycle as well as their response to environmental perturbations.

▼ Massive oil spills, such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in April 2010, have prompted increased research and attention on the techniques available to monitor oil spills, including degradation processes, and have highlighted the limitations of existing monitoring methods. Previous research has shown the spectral induced polarization method (SIP) to be sensitive to the biogeochemical changes that occur as a result of microbial oil degradation; however, there is no research on the applicability of the SIP method under high conductivity conditions typical of coastal environments. The purpose of this study is to monitor natural attenuation of microbial oil degradation in brackish coastal sediment. Natural attenuation is of primary importance since in many instances, such as for remote and inaccessible areas, it is the only option available for remediation. This research is based on the hypothesis that biogeochemical changes due to microbially-induced processes can generate detectable SIP signals, even under high conductivity environments. Five different treatments of heavy oil contaminated sediment were run for 143 days. Results indicated that geophysical signals were more pronounced in the columns with conductivities close to the actual field conditions from where the sediments were collected. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry analysis showed decreased peaks in the chromatograms of active columns compared to control columns, as well as the appearance of metabolites, indicating degradation of the substrate (contaminant oil). The results show that SIP is sensitive to the biogeochemical changes occurring as a result of microbial oil degradation even under high conductivity conditions, indicating that it could be a useful tool to non-invasively monitor natural attenuation within brackish environments.

▼ Detailed hydrodynamics within the swash-swash interactions are studied based on experimental measurements. Two bores are generated using a double dam-break mechanism and interact on a 1:10 impermeable sand-rough beach. Two series of experiments are conducted. The first series is carried out to explore the overall features of swash-swash interaction. The water levels in the reservoirs and opening times between the two gates of the dam break mechanism are varied to generate a large number of different swash-swash interactions. Experimental flow depth data is measured using acoustic displacement sensors. The results are combined with estimated times of flow reversal, obtained from a model based on the nonlinear shallow water equation, to determine the type of swash-swash interaction. Two types of interactions are identified: wave capture interaction, when the interaction with the second bore occurs during the uprush of the first bore, and weak wave-backwash interactions when interaction happens during the backwash of the first bore. The second series of experiments investigates the detailed hydrodynamics of these two types of swash-swash interaction by using a combined particle image velocimetry and laser induced fluorescent system, which enables comparisons to be made between wave capture interaction, weak wave-backwash interaction and the single swash event. The results of the first series of experiments show that the relative strength of the bores at the initial shoreline and time between their arrivals determines the initial type of interaction, however the type as well as the intensity of the interaction may vary throughout the swash-zone for the same swash event. The results of the second series of experiment show that during wave capture and weak wave-backwash interactions, the fluid of the first bore is advected upwards, then mixed with the fluid of the second bore by highly turbulent vortices generated at the front of the second bore because of the relative velocity differences between the two bores. Discussions of the results obtained in the experimental study highlights that swash-swash interaction results in large shoreward local fluid accelerations and strong turbulence intensities in particular with a large vertical fluctuating component. In addition, the velocity gradients indicate that the bed shear stress also increases during interaction. All these factors indicate that swash-swash interactions have the potential to enhance shoreward sediment transport in the swash zone.

▼ Nowadays the sediment becomes one significant problem to reservoir watershed and it is effect and related to reservoir operation system. As the research topic, an integrated sediment approach and impacts of climate change on reservoir sedimentation, there are three main parts demonstrated in this research that all parts are related together with sediment point of view. Annual sediment depositing volume in reservoir was estimated by general soil loss equation but the efficiency was not acceptable. The first part of this study shows that the efficiency is improved by using general soil loss equation with sediment transport model. The second part is about monitoring the sediment inflow to reservoir. The important parameter to operate the reservoir is turbidity concentration of flow into dam, in the second part the suspended sediment concentration was predicted by real time therefore the reservoir operation to release turbid flow will get more efficiency. For last part, in the next future year sediment yield and water resources on the study area were investigated by extrapolated temperature and rainfall data then the results will be useful for long term reservoir operation system. First part, the integrated sedimentation was used to model an annual depositing sediment volume in reservoir. Sediment system in watershed includes not only sediment yield but also sediment transportation along the rivers. In this study, the Geographic Information System (GIS) incorporated with sediment yield model can be assisted to enhance the evaluation estimation of soil erosion. Surface erosion on Managawa river basin is then computed with the Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE) and it is verified to reflect the hydrological processes to which it will be able to estimate soil losses. In the sediment transport routing module, total load equation is applied to carry sediment from soil surface erosion to deposit in Managawa dam. According to annual accumulation sediment volume data in Managawa reservoir during 1981 – 2004, the establish model and simulation results are satisfied. The efficiency of the Modified Universal Equation with sediment routing in rivers is more than the simple Modified Universal Equation. Second part, the real time suspended sediment concentration forecasting was used for monitoring the turbidity flow on the upstream of reservoir. The sediment flow into the reservoir is a factor for decision support in real time reservoir operation therefore the serious area of sediment erosion of Managawa river basin, Japan is monitored by suspended sediment gauge. The hourly suspended sediment concentration at Okumotani station; the upstream of Managawa reservoir, was monitored and estimated by the artificial neural network (ANN) model that the input data were rainfall data and its products. This artificial neural network (ANN) was calibrated and validated by using recently suspended sediment data on heavy rainfall events from December 2006 to January 2008. Choosing an appropriate neural network structure and providing…

▼ This pilot study investigates the storage of fine sediments in the river bed of the Geul River, the Netherlands. The sediment infiltration into the gravel bed is measured at four locations in the Geul River using two different methods: a gravimetric method and a metal concentration-based method. Both methods concerned the placement of sediment traps in the gravel bed, consisting of cylindrical mesh cages with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 10 cm. In the first method, the cage was filled with clean gravel larger than 12.5 mm (the size of the mesh openings) collected from the local river bed (with a mean gravel size of 19 mm). After two to sixty-five days, the sediment traps were removed. In the second method, the sediment traps were filled with clean gravel and 700 grams of fine sand with low metal concentrations. During the sampling period, this fine sand was contaminated by deposition of metal-contaminated fine sediment from the Geul River. After four to eight days, the sediment traps were removed. For both methods the trap is placed in a bag. The bag was pulled to the bottom of the trap when the trap was placed and was pulled up when the traps were removed to retain the fine sediment. The fine sediment was washed from the sediment traps and subsequently dried and weighed. For the second method, the zinc concentrations of the fine sand and the fine sediment collected from the sediment traps were measured using a handheld XRF analyser. The sediment flux was then calculated from the differences between the zinc concentrations in the sediment samples and the fine sand. The amount of gravel-stored fine sediment was measured with a resuspension cylinder. It was found that the mean and variation of the fine sediment deposition rates increased with stream discharge during the sampling period. Changes in the trapped fine sediment weight were related to changes in discharge. The average fine sediment flux was determined by fitting a mass balance to the measurements. Based on this flux-discharge relation and resuspension measurements, average sediment residence times were calculated. A travel time model for suspended and bed load sediment based on the probability of sediment having a certain residence time was made. It was found that it takes bed load on average 13 days to travel through a river reach of 20 km and suspended sediment 126 days. Advisors/Committee Members: van der Perk, Dr M..

▼ Flow and sediment regimes are two of the main abiotic factors driving riverine ecosystems, interacting at different temporal and spatial scales. These interactions have a strong influence on habitat composition, ecosystem processes and community composition. Nowadays, flow and sediment regimes are highly altered due to anthropogenic modifications of rivers and floodplains, such as dams or river channelization, which disrupt the main properties of both regimes. The primary goal of this thesis was to understand the role of flow and sediment interactions on ecosystem structure and function in managed rivers and evaluate different techniques that mitigate the impact of rivers regulation. Hyporheic sediment respiration, periphyton biomass and chlorophyll-a were used as indicators of ecosystem function, whereas macroinvertebrates assemblages were used as a structural indicator. The first chapter studied the variability of different indicators of ecosystem structure and function under different flow and geomorphology conditions. The study took place in a section of the river Thur, where a widening restoration was implemented by removing 1 km of lateral protections. This widening section characterized by newly established habitats such as gravel bars is fringed upstream and downstream by channelized sections. Channelized sites showed higher rates of sediment respiration, periphyton and macroinvertebrates compared to restored sites. Restored sites showed a greater temporal and spatial variability in the measured indicators due to the influence of flow disturbance, which was lower in channelized sites. Overall, sediment respiration and macroinvertebrate richness were related to flow variability and geomorphology, whereas periphyton and macroinvertebrate density was influenced mainly by flow variability. The second chapter investigated the influence of flow regulation (residual flows and hydropeaking) on aquatic life stages that can persist in sediments during dry phases (i.e. macroinvertebrate seedbanks). Gravel bars affected by hydropeaking showed greater densities of organisms due to the high frequency of inundations, which increased the drift of animals onto gravel bars. The opposite trend was found in residual flow rivers, where there is a lack of flood occurrence. The third chapter assessed the ecological impact of a Sediment Bypass Tunnel, a structure that routes upstream sediment input around dams, reducing the accumulation of sediments in the dam. Operations of the tunnel create a general decrease in measured indicators (sediment respiration, periphyton and macroinvertebrates), the decrease being related to the magnitude of flow and sediment released at the tunnel. The fourth chapter described the interactions of flow and sediment inputs in two rivers with contrasting management programs (experimental floods and sediment bypass tunnel). Sediment lateral inputs caused local interactions with flow, generating morphological and biotic heterogeneity in the streambed, whereas upstream sediment inputs… Advisors/Committee Members: Robinson, Christopher T., Jokela, Jukka, Jähnig, Sonja.
