▼ The initial purpose of this investigation was to evaluate how different vegetative, sedimentologic, and geomorphic site factors influence
erosion rates in an18-km stretch of the recently restored Kissimmee
River in Florida. A modified version of Rosgen's (2001)
Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) was used to characterize potential
erosion severity. Fifty streambanks were measured and monitored over a nine month period, from November 2010 through August 2011. At each study site, a toe pin was installed and used as a constant point of reference for each site throughout the study. Vertical and horizontal measurements of the
bank profile were taken three separate times and recorded and graphed.
Bank profiles were overlaid to calculate the
bank areal change and
bank retreat that was lost or gained due to
erosion or deposition. Sediment cores were extracted and assessed for bulk density and a grain size analysis. The five main variables Rosgen used were assigned a BEHI value and corresponding rating to each site.

▼ Natural channel design in
river engineering is the philosophy and practice of designing stream channels by copying or mimicking the
geomorphology of stable, self-formed streams. This dissertation presents methods and equations for incorporating the principals of natural channel design into
river and stream engineering in Kansas. Data from 123 reference reaches in Kansas are used to develop these methods and equations. An analysis of 46 gaged reference reaches indicates that the return period of bankfull flow (annual maximum series), ranges from 1.01 to 1.7 years, with an average of 1.2 years. This is significantly lower than the 2-year flow commonly used by engineers in naturalistic
river designs. An equation is developed that predicts the 1.2-year flow as a function of watershed drainage area, mean annual precipitation, and the length of the longest flow path in the watershed. This equation is developed using data from 67 gaged streams with drainage areas less than 30 sq miles. Geomorphic measurements from the reference reaches are used to verify previously published relationships between bankfull discharge and bankfull width for streams with sand and gravel beds. A new relationship is developed demonstrating the relationship between bankfull discharge and bankfull width for streams with beds of cohesive clay. Equations are provided to predict the average meander wavelength from the bankfull width, and the pool depth from the depth at the adjacent riffle. Three stream design methods are presented: the Kansas Analytical Method (KAM), the Analytical Reference Reach Method (ARRM), and the Scaled Geomorphic Method (SGM). All three methods are based on natural stream processes and
geomorphology. All three methods incorporate the Manning equation for flow resistance and the Meyer-Peter and Muller equation for sediment transport but differ in their use of geomorphic measurements from reference reaches. KAM uses a hydraulic geometry width equation which was developed from many reference reaches. ARRM uses the sinuosity, pool-depth ratio, and meander-width ratio from a single reference reach. SGM calculates a scaling factor that can be used to copy and scale additional cross-sections (pools, runs, and glides, as well as riffles) and planform features from the reference reach. The development of KAM and ARRM is presented in previously published reports. This dissertation presents the development of SGM in detail. KAM, ARRM, and SGM make a common assumption that the median size of sediment in the channel bed is an adequate surrogate for the entire gradation of bed sediments. The reasonableness of this assumption is verified by calculating the bankfull sediment transport capacity for seven ARRM designs. It is found that a channel designed for equilibrium transport of the median sediment size is reasonably designed for transport of the entire gradation of sediment sizes. The exception is when the median sediment size found on the bed is among the largest that are mobile at bankfull flow. These geomorphic relationships,…

▼ Chute cutoffs occur when a bypass or “chute” channel incises across a bar or low floodplain area, redistributing water and sediment. Cutoffs result from a setup and a triggering event, typically during overbank flow, but the combined effect of magnitude and duration on potential erosion in in-channel and overbank areas is still poorly constrained. Here I investigated how overbank flow duration impacts cutoff formation and spatiotemporal shear stress patterns in a wandering gravel-bed river. I applied a two-dimensional hydraulic model to a recently reconstructed reach of the Clark Fork River in western Montana that experienced chute cutoffs during a long-duration flood in 2011. Hydrographs with increasing durations exceeding overbank were simulated; for each magnitude-duration combination, various metrics were quantified for in-channel and overbank areas separately. I confirm the hypothesized importance of floodplain elevation, vegetation presence, chute-channel inlet entrance location, and high overbank shear stress zones at bend apexes on cutoff occurrence. Floodplain width plays an important role in controlling unit discharge such that overbank areas are more competent in a narrower floodplain conveyance corridor. Duration controls cumulative flow exceeding sediment mobility thresholds, having the largest effect in overbank areas. Side channels at the reconstructed study site act like naturally formed incipient chutes. This work describes a complex floodplain system characteristic of wandering gravel-bed rivers with implications for understanding morphodynamic evolution, river restoration, and flow management in regulated rivers.

▼ Bank erosion can be a significant source of in-stream sediment that negatively affects
water quality and aquatic habitat. However, assessments of the role that eroding banks play in suspended and bed sediment supply are rarely available to managers. The purpose of this study was to quantify
bank erosion rates for a 7 km conservation easement the James
River in southwest Missouri to evaluate the annual contributions of
bank sediment to the channel. The objectives were to: (1) monitor an eroding 260 m
bank to better understand short-term, reach scale
bank erosion rates; (2) determine historical rates of
bank erosion for the entire riparian easement using aerial photographs from 1952, 1997, and 2008; and (3) determine the contribution of
bank erosion to annual
river sediment loads and in-channel gravel storage. The
erosion rates of fine sediment from historical aerial photograph analysis averaged 210 Mg/yr/km.
Bank erosion contributions to suspended sediment loads in the James
River ranged from 16% to 50%.
Bank erosion along the James
River is often limited by bedrock outcrops which can protect banks, increase channel stability, and reduce sediment supply. However, flow disturbance zones at channel bends along bedrock bluffs can enhance bar formation locally which can force lateral channel shifting and increased
bank erosion rates.

▼ The
restoration of riverine habitats is a widespread industry valued at millions of dollars annually. Quantifying the success of
river restoration projects is an important component of
restoration planning but is often impractical in the long term. This study uses cheaply available consumer grade technology to monitor a
restoration site on the Middle Fork John Day
River, Oregon, and evaluate changes using 3 sets of high-resolution imagery over a 12-year period. Additionally, it explores the experimental generation of submeter resolution NDVI imagery though a modified consumer grade camera. This study finds that
restoration is moving towards its intended goals. Riparian vegetation has generally expanded and encroached on the channel within the study site, and that the most vigorous vegetation is that which has been protected from deer and elk browse in addition to cattle grazing removal. Wood structures have remained relatively stable.

▼ La connaissance de la dynamique hydrosédimentaire des rivières avant et pendant l’installation des nombreux aménagements hydrauliques depuis l’Antiquité restaient très fragmentaire en Basse-Normandie et plus largement en Europe de l’Ouest. On savait encore peu de choses sur les processus d’érosion et de sédimentation qui se sont succédés au sein des rivières normandes au cours des deux derniers millénaires et la part des forçages anthropiques et climatiques qui ont influencé ces processus. L’objectif de la thèse est donc de comprendre et de mesurer la part des héritages dans le fonctionnement actuel des rivières afin de contribuer à leur gestion contemporaine. A cette fin, des recherches géomorphologiques et géoarchéologiques ont été menées dans plusieurs vallées bas-normandes. Ces études ont mis en évidence le poids des installations hydrauliques et en particulier le développement des moulins à eau dans la modification des chenaux d’écoulement mais aussi la construction des plaines alluviales. En effet, la structuration complète du cours d’eau depuis le Moyen Âge a fortement artificialisé les formes en plan et les pentes des cours d’eau et complètement cloisonné leur linéaire. Ces transformations ont favorisé la stabilité latérale des cours d’eau et la sédimentation limoneuse par débordement au sein des plaines alluviales. L’installation de moulins s’accompagne très souvent d’une simplification du tracé en plan de la rivière. Lors de l’équipement maximal des cours d’eau normands on trouvait un moulin tous les 2500 mètres de linéaires hydrographiques. Ces transformations signifient qu’une grande partie des cours actuels sont artificiels. En effet, ces aménagements et l’accélération de la sédimentation limoneuse depuis 1000 ans sont à l’origine de la mise en place d’un équilibre dynamique aboutissant aux formes hydrosédimentaires des rivières actuelles. L’abandon de la gestion des ouvrages hydrauliques et leur destruction au cours des cinquante dernières années viennent remettre en cause cet équilibre.
In Lower Normandy, knowledge of the hydrosedimentary dynamics of rivers before and during the installation of the numerous hydraulic installations since the Roman period remains very fragmentary. Little was known about the rates of erosion and sedimentation that have occurred over the last two millennia and how climatic and anthropogenic controls have influenced these processes. Thus, the challenge of this phD is to understand and measure the role of the inherited structures and operating in the current functioning of the rivers of Lower Normandy in order to help with their contemporary management. To provide answers, geomorphological and geoarchaeological researches has been carried out in several valleys. These studies make it possible to highlight the weight of the hydraulic installations and in particular the developments related to the mills in the setting up of floodplains. Indeed, the complete structuring and management of the watercourse since the Middle Ages artificialized riverbed forms and slopes, and…

▼ Following the removal of Marmot Dam on the Sandy
River, Oregon, several Lidar flights were flown over the area of the former reservoir. The resultant sequential DEMs permitted calculation of reach-scale volumetric
erosion and aggradation following dam removal. This allows for change detection across the entire affected reach of the former impoundment rather than just at several cross sections. In the first year there was a net loss of blank sediment in the dewatered reach. Subsequent flights show continued degradation of 145,649 m
3 as well as aggradation of 6,232 m
3. Sediment transport reached quasi-equilibrium in 2012 with a net change of 65 m
3. In addition, this technique allows the extraction of cross-section information which shows that the channel continues to be actively migrating in some areas while also being constrained by bedrock features from past volcanism in some reaches. This study further shows the capability of lidar to measure rates of aggradation and degradation for an entire
river system instead of reach specific extrapolations and that repeat lidar flights can more than adequately assess the changing nature of entire stream reaches more rapidly and more cost effectively than traditional field techniques. In addition:
The utility of Lidar to do
river management with repeat returns, having successive lidar acquisitions run on the watershed level will help us to gain insight into the correlation to precipitation events and geomorphological change in a given reach.
Lidar can be used to assess the validity of channel evolution models. Sequential runs of lidar can be used to adjust the overall effectiveness of current CEM's and create new ones that consider reach specific
geomorphology.
Dam removal projects should incorporate initial lidar flights prior to removal and follow acquisitions based on known CEM's for the region and overall region-specific physiography.
Sequential lidar should be used for hazard mitigation and geohazards analysis with an acquisition timeframe that is appropriate for the region's physiography, geology,
geomorphology and the return interval of the hazard being monitored.

Meanders rivers have sinuous channel with singular dynamic
of lateral migration by eroding its concave bank and depositing on its convex bank. This dynamic is able to expand and restore fluvial environments when creates a sedimentary environments complex linked to development of floodplain. The nature of preexistent deposits on floodplain, which are remobilized by lateral migration, is important to interpret deposicional dynamics, being central to the identification evolution of meanders. Heterogeneity of the facies is formed by several cycles of sedimentary evolution through channel migration, generating a succession of deposits with different degree cohesion. These depositional environments affect the continuity migration and the evolution of meanders. It was researched the current evolution of meander and riparian vegetation influence and theirs deposit about lateral migration process on downstream Claro river. It was used aerial photographs, satellite images, facies analysis and pin set on the banks to identify the influences of
vegetation and material in the migration processes of meanders. The channel showed high mobility verified by the high amount of migration process in 47 years, due to the planforms diffusion and oxbow lakes and by deposits and paleochannel sedimentary facies. The vegetation has not shown attenuating effect against the bank erosion in the two curves analyzed meanders, erosion rates for the segments with vegetation cover were up to 1,3m ahead of the environments of floodplain. It was found that the intensity of channel migration differs between the curves. Migration advances with little resistance from unconsolidated deposits of the current floodplain, whereas in older deposits, pedogenesis and consistent terraces have hindered lateral advance, due to theirs material.
Rios meandrantes possuem canais fluviais sinuosos com dinâmica particular de migração lateral ao erodir suas margens côncavas e depositar nas margens convexas. Esta dinâmica é capaz de ampliar e renovar os ambientes

▼ Southeastern Minnesota has incised streams that are susceptible to
bank erosion. Previously, efforts have been made to identify sections of Riceford Creek that have high
erosion susceptibility using the
Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI). Locally harvested cedars were then used as a revetment strategy to mitigate
erosion of the stream banks prioritized by the BEHI analysis. This study aims to 1) determine if cedar revetment effectively mitigates
bank erosion in Riceford Creek and 2) determine if the BEHI method is an effective way of quantifying
erosion hazard in Riceford Creek. This study focuses on two sections in Riceford Creek where cedar revetments have been installed. A detailed stream survey and aerial photography were collected in Spring 2016. A large flood occurred in September 2016, consequently additional aerial photography was collected in Spring 2017, followed by another detailed survey in Summer 2017. The imagery reveals multiple areas in Riceford Creek where the revetments are starting to be buried by sediment (effective) as well as areas where the revetment appears to have been washed out (ineffective). This study provides both visual and quantitative data on how effective the revetment was at mitigating
bank erosion during the 2016 flood.

▼ The October 2007 removal of Marmot Dam, a 14.3-m-tall dam on the Sandy
River in northwestern Oregon storing approximately 730,000 m3 of impounded sediment, provided an opportunity to study short- and long-term geomorphic effects of dam removal. Monitoring reservoir morphology during the two years following dam decommissioning yields a timeline of reservoir channel change. Comparison of a pre-dam survey in 1911 with post-removal surveys provides a basis from which to gage the Reservoir Reach evolution in the context of pre-dam conditions. Analyses of time-lapse photography, topographic surveys, and repeat LiDAR data sets provide detailed spatial and temporal documentation of a release of sediment from the reservoir following dam removal. The majority of morphologic changes to the reservoir largely took place during the first few days and weeks following removal. Channel incision and widening, along with gradient changes through the Reservoir Reach, exhibit diminishing changes with time. Channel incision rates of up to 13 m/hr and widening rates of up to 26 m/hr occurred within the first 24 hours following breaching of the coffer dam. Although channel position through the Reservoir Reach has remained relatively stable due to valley confinement, its width increased substantially. The channel reached an average width of 45 m within two weeks of breaching, but then
erosion rates slowed and the channel width reached about 70 to 80 m after one and two years, respectively. Diminishing volumes of evacuated sediment were measured over time through quantitative analysis of survey datasets. About 15 percent of the initial impounded sediment was eroded from the Reservoir Reach within 60 hours of breaching; after one and two years, 50 and 58 percent was eroded, respectively. Grain-size analysis of terraces cut into reservoir fill following dam removal show that bed material coarsened over time at fixed elevations and vertically downward as the channel incised. Overall, these findings indicate valley morphology and local in-channel bedrock topography controlled the spatial distribution of sediment within the reservoir reach while variability in
river discharge determined the timing of episodic sediment release. Changes within the Reservoir Reach shortly after dam removal and subsequent evolution over the two years following removal are likely attributable to 1) the timing and intensity of flow events, 2) the longitudinal and stratigraphic spatial variations in deposit grain-size distributions initially and over time, and 3) the pre-dam topography and existing valley morphology.

▼ Texas Gulf Coastal Plain Rivers are
subject to a dynamic climatic and hydrologic regime. A common feature of Gulf Coast meandering rivers in this region are oxbow lakes. These oxbow lakes exhibit a complex connectivity with the active channel and slowly infill by floods that deposit sediment. Thus, the oxbows serve as an archive of a flood regime throughout time for that particular watershed.
This paper reports the results of geomorphic study of flood sediments from two oxbow lakes along the lower Guadalupe
River in south-central Texas. Grain size analysis and magnetic susceptibility measurements of the cores, supported by radiocarbon dating and hydrologic data, provide records of the flooding regime. The Guadalupe drains an area of 13,196 km2 in south-central Texas, including the Edwards Plateau and the Gulf Coastal Plain. Sediment data from a recent and older oxbow lake were examined in the context of Guadalupe
River hydrology to were analyzed establish a relationship between climatic controls and sedimentation, with the intent of providing inference on paleohydrology of the lower Guadalupe
River. In particular, this study examines sedimentary deposits through recent and paleo-oxbow lakes, to compare differences in the sedimentary record of a historical oxbow with the dynamics of a recent oxbow as a modern analog.

▼ Since the damming and channelization of the lower Long Tom
River in the 1940s and 1950s, the quality and quantity of habitat for coastal cutthroat trout and spring Chinook salmon in the watershed has dramatically diminished. In order to better understand the potential for stream
restoration, this study uses 2D hydraulic modeling to determine the impact of reconnecting historical meander bends to the main stem of the lower Long Tom
River on localized flooding, sediment
erosion and deposition, and salmonid physical habitat. These models compare the current conditions to two
restoration scenarios that allow for fish passage given 1, 2, and 5-year flood events at two study sites. This study reveals important variations in the impact of
restoration between the study sites and the reconnection methods. It also suggests that there is the potential for a large increase in the area of accessible habitat with stream
restoration.

(more)
▼ The dynamic evolution of the planform of meandering rivers often leads to the development of compound loops with multiple lobes of maximum curvature, also known as compound meander bends. At present, the interaction among spatial patterns of mean flow, turbulence, bed morphology,
bank failures and channel migration in compound loops is poorly understood. In particular, field studies of this interaction over the timescale of planform evolution are lacking. The research presented here examines the co-evolution of flow, bed morphology, and channel planform in two compound meander bends. Careful study is given to the interaction of processes over differing spatial and temporal timescales. Results suggest that patterns of flow, sediment entrainment, and planform evolution in compound meander bends are more complex than in simple meander bends. Moreover, interactions among local influences on the flow, such as outer
bank blocks, local topographic steering, and locally high curvature, tend to cause compound loops to evolve toward increasing planform complexity over time rather than stable configurations.
The research is comprised of three field investigations. The first study examines the co-evolution of flow, bed morphology, and channel planform in a compound meander loop and relates patterns of near-
bank velocity and turbulence to planform change within the loop. Data consist of repeat surveys of channel change in a compound loop over an 11-year period, coupled with Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) measurements of 3-D instantaneous velocities for similar magnitude flows at the beginning and end of this period. Results confirm that this compound loop is highly dynamic with major changes in planform occurring over the 11-year period. Spatial patterns of near-
bank velocity and turbulence correspond to patterns of
bank erosion and channel migration within the loop; however, these patterns are not strictly a function of planform curvature. Instead, local factors, including deflection of the flow by point bars and failed
bank blocks, can enhance or inhibit the development of high near-
bank velocities and turbulence kinetic energy. The loop has elongated and become more asymmetric over time—a pattern of development consistent with patterns of near-
bank velocities and turbulence at the beginning of the study period. The pattern of near-
bank velocities and turbulence for measurements at the end of the period indicate that the loop will continue to elongate in the near future, supporting the hypothesis that compound loops change progressively over time rather than evolving into a stable configuration.
In the second study, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements of the time-averaged flow structure are examined to evaluate the influence of channel curvature and hydrologic variability (i.e., stage) on the structure of flow within a compound loop and to relate changes in bed morphology to flow structure at various flow stages. Local increases in centerline curvature (or decreases in dimensionless radius of curvature)…

▼ The Pra
River Basin has been engulfed by certain anthropogenic activities particularly illegal
small scale mining (popularly called galamsey) and serious concerns have been raised by
stakeholders within the basin of the level of pollution due to the release of chemicals and
sediments into the
water bodies.
Fluvial sediment yield data is an essential requirement for
informed decision making on
water resources development and management. However,
information on the sediment load of most rivers is very rare due to the lack of financial
resources
to regularly undertake sediment yield studies. This study was undertaken to assess the sediment
yield levels, sediment sources and
bank erosion within the Pra Basin through field data collection
and spatial modelling to ascertain stakeholder’s perceptions and suggest remedial measures to
the problem.
Suspended sediment concentration measurements were undertaken for 9 months in selected
stream discharge measuring stations within the basin. Daily mean suspended sediment
concentration was determined from which monthly and annual suspended sediment yields were
derived. Sediment source tracking was done using a single tracer
210
Pb and the relative
contribution of surface and
bank sediments to the
fluvial sediment transport was determined
using the simple mixing model. Lead-210 was analysed using the Atomic Absorption
Spectrophotometer (AAS).
Bank erosion was assessed using
erosion pins. The spatial patterns in
soil
erosion and sediment yield were modelled using the revised universal soil loss (RUSLE)
equation integrating it into Geographic Information System (GIS).
Suspended sediment concentration and sediment yield of the Pra Basin were found to be very
high resulting in a high annual specific suspended sediment yield.
Bank erosion measurement
revealed very active
bank erosion and deposition within the
river channel and
bank erosion was
observed to increase downstream. Sediment source analyses showed that
bank material was the
dominant sediments which accounted for over 60% of suspended sediment loads. However,
predicted sediment yields using the RUSLE were very low as compared to observed data.
To promote coordinated development and sustainable management of the
resources of the
basin, there is the need to resource agencies in charge of regulating natural resource utilization in
the basin to control land use activities particularly galamsey to ensure the sustainability of vital
ecosystems. The Government also needs to resource financially and improve upon staff strength
of the Hydrological Services Departments and the Sediment Unit of the
Water Research Institute
of CSIR to enable them maintain and monitor critical stations for flow and sediment discharge
measurements. Also future research works in sediment yield modelling should consider
deploying a model that is capable of modelling both surface and concentrated sediment
discharges as this will give a better perspective to a comparative assessment between observed
and simulated sediment yield…

▼ Disturbance regimes are important determinants of both
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem structure and function.
Disturbances may linger in the landscape and lag temporally,
influencing stream ecosystem form and function for decades, if not
centuries. The recent enhanced Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB)
infestation in pine forests of the Rocky Mountain region has
resulted in extensive tree mortality, producing the potential for
significant increases in carbon supply to stream channels. To
better understand MPB impacts on in-stream large wood (LW), a
census was conducted in 30 headwater streams within the Medicine
Bow National Forest in south-central Wyoming, across the temporal
spectrum from early- to late-stage MPB-infestation. A subset of
those streams exhibiting mean conditions at each level of
infestation was surveyed to determine any significant differences
in channel morphology or aquatic ecosystem function. Results
indicate that wood loads related to the MPB-infestation
significantly increase with time since initial infestation.
However, even in late-stage infestation streams, many of the fallen
MPB-killed trees are bridging across the channels and have yet to
break and ramp down sufficiently enough to enter between the
channel margins. Wood loads will continue to increase as more trees
fall and bridging pieces decompose, break and then enter the
channel. Measurable increases in the amount of LW with time since
initial beetle infestation have both positive and negative effects
on channel form and function. Although forest MPB-infestation has
peaked in the study area, streams are still early on a curve of
rapidly increasing wood loads that are beginning to affect streams
and have the potential to dramatically increase the carbon base of
regional stream ecosystems.

▼ Water temperature is a critical water quality parameter that affects salmonid survival by influencing its metabolism and growth at all life stages. Stream temperature is an especially important parameter in California rivers where it frequently limits the range of salmonids. Anthropogenic activities have increased stream temperature and degraded spawning, holding, and rearing habitats, and this has contributed to declines in salmonid populations in California. Fisheries managers have a range of analytical and empirical tools available to assess and quantify elevated stream temperature conditions, but many of these tools do not focus on water temperature conditions at the spatial and temporal scales important to salmonids. My research focuses on assessing water temperature at the watershed and upwelling hyporheic scale which are critical to salmonid survival as stream temperature approaches thermal tolerances.I developed a model to calculate water temperature at locations throughout a watershed to provide a method to evaluate the availability and connectivity of suitable thermal habitat throughout a stream network. The model used a linear weighted average of the maximum and minimum air temperatures of the current and 4 prior days. The weighting parameter is dependent upon upstream drainage area enabling the application of the model to both small tributaries and large mainstem streams. I used historical data from the Sonoma Creek, Napa River, and Russian River watersheds to develop, test, calibrate, and partially validate the model. Model results from Sonoma Creek and Napa River indicated it was generally able to estimate daily average water temperature within 1.5 degrees C of the observed water temperature. Data from the Russian River highlighted the model was limited to streams without significant hydrologic modifications or geologic constraints that forced groundwater to the surface.A 1-D advection dispersion heat transport model was developed to quantify the upwelling hyporheic temperature that provides cold water thermal refugia along a streambed for salmonids. I analyzed hyporheic temperature measured at five sites in a previous research program across sixteen kilometers of Deer Creek near Vina, California, to test, calibrate, and partially validate the model. At three sites, I found the 1-D advection and dispersion were the dominant heat transport mechanisms with model root mean square error less than 0.6 degrees C. At two sites, the model was not applicable because modeling results indicated that surface flow rate variations, solar radiation, and multi-day flow paths also influenced the upwelling hyporheic temperature. Modeling was valuable for highlighting the contribution of these additional processes from that of 1-D advection dispersion. The availability of monitoring data over the summer-fall period was essential for modeling upwelling temperature dynamics along a semi-natural channel.

▼ Banks constitute important areas for the
river ecology since they provide a multitude of favourable conditions for flora and fauna. The hydromorphological diversity typical of these transitional zones between
water and land, and the associated processes of
erosion and accretion, make riverbanks vital for many aquatic and riparian plants and animals. In recent decades, the increasing awareness of the ecological significance of rivers and
water bodies resulted in the gradual implementation of extensive stream,
river and floodplain
restoration. In the EU, these practices are regulated by the
Water Framework Directive. An important and largely applied re-naturalization measure in highly trained watercourses is the removal of
bank protections to reactivate
erosion processes and promote habitat diversity. In rivers used as waterways, ship waves can be an important cause of
bank erosion and ecological disturbance. The sediment yield from
bank erosion may alter navigable depths, the
water quality, and flood conveyance, for which enhancing the hydromorphology is a challenge in multifunctional rivers. Due to pressing needs to improve riverine habitats, large-scale
restoration works have been implemented based on conceptual schemes without a comprehensive knowledge of wave
erosion processes or a precise estimate of long-term
bank retreat. The Meuse
River in the Netherlands constitutes a remarkable example of systematic rehabilitation, where
bank protections have been removed along 100 km between 2008 and 2020. Given that ship-induced
erosion is still poorly understood, the management of navigable rivers and the planning of
restoration measures would benefit from a solid and deeper understanding of natural
bank dynamics induced by ship waves, for both economic and ecological reasons. Moreover, more precise estimates of long-term
bank retreat would help to optimize different functions and reduce conflicts of interest within the
river system. Therefore, the main objective of this investigation is to understand and predict
erosion processes and the morphological evolution of natural banks in regulated navigable rivers. The research goal is pursued through the thorough investigation of a
river reach that presents a wide range of
erosion rates after the removal of
bank protections. This main case study consists of a 1.2-km straight reach in the Meuse
River, near Oeffelt in the Netherlands, the left
bank of which was re-naturalized in 2010 by extracting the riprap. The Meuse is a midsize
river with a pluvial regime, which has been canalized and is regulated with a series of weirs to enable navigation. Here, field techniques and complementary laboratory tests are utilized including topographic surveys with UAV, wave measurements with ADV, soil coring, geotechnical tests, and RTK GPS profiling. Processing and analysis of data are carried out with MATLAB. Four research steps are conducted. First, a methodology to quickly survey the 3D
bank topography along a midsize
river reach is determined to measure
bank erosion processes. Second,…

▼ The present morphology of a river is the outcome of past and present conditions. To understand a fluvial system, the history of a river must therefore be known. Once established, river management activities will be better informed, as a model for channel response is now available. Moreover, using variable-specific studies sometimes creates a bias in attributing geomorphic significance to variables. An integrated approach avoids the underestimation or overestimation of influences because variables are considered collectively. This thesis is driven by this principle. Presented here is an investigation on Corryong Creek, to determine and explain its geomorphological evolution in the period since European settlement. To do so, its history of channel change was first reconstructed, followed by the reconstruction of main geomorphic variables including hydro-climate, catchment land cover, riparian vegetation cover, and river management. Spatiotemporal trends for each parameter were identified, and then compared to decipher interrelationships.
Since European settlement, Corryong Creek has become increasingly unstable, exhibiting an overall pattern of straightening, widening and increased sediment deposition. A change in catchment hydrology is evident, which is due to a combination of severe land clearing and an increase in average rainfall since the mid-20th century. Because climate is a significant influence on flow, periodicities in channel stability are observable through climatic phase shifts between wet and dry years dictated by the El Nino Southern Oscillation and the Indian Ocean dipole. Flood regimes were not observed in the rainfall data. While general patterns in channel stability were observed over longer time periods and larger areas, rates of channel change have not necessarily been consistent across smaller spatial and temporal scales. This revealed the influence of river management and riparian willow cover. Severe channel straightening, bank stabilisation and willow growth have distorted the capacity for channel change to occur. In general, channel straightening has increased channel instability by increasing flow velocities (in addition to directly affecting channel planform), bank stabilisation has stunted erosion rates, and willows enhance channel widening and sediment deposition (but their effect reduces as channels widen). This thesis demonstrates that despite complexity, fluvial systems can still be better understood through an analysis of spatiotemporal trends.

▼ Rivers typically follow a meandering pattern where, over time, the
river adjusts its morphology to minimize the channel slope. The purpose of the research is to better understand the morphological patterns associated with skewed meander bends in an unconfined alluvial channel. Physical modelling of meandering streams with three different skewness coefficients was conducted in a laboratory flume. Sediment was collected at the outlet to quantify transport rates, the bed was monitored using Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry, and flow rates were monitored with an ultrasonic flowmeter. The flow was stopped periodically to quantify the morphological development of the stream with time. The results provide insight into the time to development of morphological changes as well as the physical processes that dictate the scale and pattern of the changes observed. The results included channel geometry adjustments to reduce the bed shear stress and energy grade line slope, as well as observations on morphological patterns.

▼ To further understand
bank undercutting processes that occur in the Petitcodiac
River estuary (New Brunswick, Canada), the
erosion of sediment cores obtained at the base of the estuary banks was studied by testing for the critical shear stress and
erosion rates in a laboratory flume.
It was found that there is variation in the erodibility of the sediment with depth horizontally into the
bank over the depths tested. The
bank cores were shown to erode in distinct layers, with the
erosion of extremely weak layers occurring at rates that were an order of magnitude higher than the rates of adjacent resistant layers. Bed cores obtained at the toe of the
bank were also tested and similar variability in sediment erodibility was found with vertical depth into the bed. Sediment properties of the cores, including particle size distribution, bulk density,
water content, and organic content were compared to the erodibility of the sediment.
Additional investigations included observations of the Petitcodiac
River estuary
bank movement through GPS surveys and
erosion pin monitoring, as well as testing for the presence of biological sediment-stabilization factors, and changes in particle size and mineralogy on the
river bank.

▼ Many streams on the North Shore of Lake Superior, Minnesota, USA, are impaired for turbidity driven by excess fine sediment loading. The goal of this project was to develop a GIS-based model using new, openly-available, high-resolution remote datasets to predict erosional hotspots at a reach scale, based on three study watersheds: Amity Creek, the Talmadge River, and the French River. The ability to identify erosional hotspots, or locations that are highly susceptible to erosion, using remote data would be helpful for watershed managers in implementing practices to reduce turbidity in these streams. Erosion in streams is a balance between driving forces, largely controlled by topography; and resisting forces, controlled by the materials that make up a channel's bed and banks. New high-resolution topography and soils datasets for the North Shore provide the opportunity to extract these driving and resisting forces from remote datasets and possibly predict erosion potential and identify erosional hotspots. We used 3-meter LiDAR-derived DEMs to calculate a stream power-based erosion index, to identify stream reaches with high radius of curvature, and to identify stream reaches proximal to high bluffs. We used the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database to investigate changes in erodibility along the channel. Because bedrock exposure significantly limits erodibility, we investigated bedrock exposure using bedrock outcrop maps made available by the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS, Hobbs, 2002; Hobbs, 2009), and by using a feature extraction tool to remotely map bedrock exposure using high-resolution air photos and LiDAR data. Predictions based on remote data were compared with two datasets. Bank Erosion Hazard Index surveys, which are surveys designed to evaluate erosion susceptibility of banks, were collected along the three streams. In addition, a 500-year flood event during our field season gave us the opportunity to collect erosion data after a major event and validate our erosion hotspot predictions. Regressions between predictors and field datasets indicate that the most significant variables are bedrock exposure, the stream power-based erosion index, and bluff proximity. A logistic model developed using the three successful predictors for Amity Creek watershed was largely unsuccessful. A threshold-based model including the three successful predictors (stream power-based erosion index, bluff proximity, and bedrock exposure) was 70% accurate for predicting erosion hotspots along Amity Creek. The limited predictive power of the models stemmed in part from differences in locations of erosion hotspots in a single large-scale flood event and long-term erosion hotspots. The inability to predict site-specific characteristics like large woody debris or vegetation patterns makes predicting erosion hotspots in a given event very difficult. A field dataset including long-term erosion data may improve the model significantly. This model also requires high resolution bedrock exposure data which may limit its application to…

▼ River metamorphosis is a well-documented global phenomenon, particularly for the historic period. The Arkansas
River in western Kansas is an example of a
river channel that has undergone a major historical metamorphosis: the pre-1900’s channel was wide, shallow and braided, but subsequently transformed into a narrow, sinuous meandering system. This study establishes the relationship between the hydrology and dynamics of channel morphology, determined the period in which the metamorphosis occurred, and quantified the channel change. In order to document channel change along a reach of the Arkansas
River within the Kansas High Plains this study used ArcGIS to evaluate aerial photography for seven discrete years within the past 75 years, USGS stream gages to document the historical decrease in discharge, Public Land Survey records to characterize early settlement channel widths, and lesser sources such as historical ground-based images and bridge construction plans to further document historical changes in channel morphology. Channel width and sinuosity were measured and recorded for each year of aerial photography to quantitatively determine the magnitude of change and to characterize progression of the historical metamorphosis. The
river channel has narrowed by about 145 meters and increased in sinuosity from 1.22 to 1.46 since the acquisition of the first aerial photography (1939). Historical changes in the channel morphology have occurred because of many anthropogenic modifications including a dam, irrigation diversion canals, and groundwater pumping for center pivot irrigation systems. These anthropogenic influences have directly altered the hydrology of the
river by decreasing mean annual discharge, reducing peak annual flows, and lowering the
water table. The upstream part of the study reach, near the Colorado-Kansas border experiences sporadic flows and has a narrow sinuous channel, where the discharge is actively building and stabilizing the floodplain and channel banks. The downstream reach, below irrigation diversions, channel width increases and sinuosity decreases, where the surface flow is extremely rare, resulting in little or no channel change. Upstream reaches, near Syracuse, have high sinuosity values from riparian vegetation stabilizing point bars and cutbanks, whereas downstream reaches, near Garden City, have low sinuosity values due to minimal riparian vegetation. The character of the Arkansas
River channel within the Kansas High Plains may continue its present trajectory as long as the present-day hydrologic regime is maintained and the prevailing climate is unchanged.

▼ Human watershed activities such as converting land cover to agriculture and livestock grazing have negatively impacted stream
water quality worldwide. One such case is Utah’s Upper Sevier
River where a loss of woody
bank vegetation (reduced shading) and accelerated
bank erosion (increased fine sediment inputs) has led to increased stream temperature and
water turbidity. As a result, the state of Utah sought to improve
water quality conditions using streambank
restoration. While commonly recommended and performed, the effectiveness of this sort of
restoration has rarely been quantified. Here, I evaluated a restored reach of the Upper Sevier
River near Hatch, UT using continuous monitoring data and a historical photo analysis. As Utah wishes to continue performing this type of
restoration in additional locations on the Upper Sevier
River, I applied a simple sediment budget model to test its value in informing future streambank
restoration decisions.
Continuous monitoring data at the upstream and downstream extent of
restoration showed that both stream temperature and turbidity increased downstream along the restored reach. In addition, I found that stream temperature violated Utah’s cold-
water stream threshold at both sites but did not violate thresholds for rainbow trout. Turbidity violated state and biological thresholds at both sites. I was unable to conclude whether the streambank
restoration directly altered
water quality because I lacked monitoring data before
restoration occurred. Results of the historical aerial photo analysis showed that
restoration practitioners were successful in reducing cut
bank erosion. My use of SIAM as a simple sediment budget model proved insufficient due to poor data quality and quantity. Overall, streambank
restoration was successful at reducing cut
bank erosion, and I recommended monitoring future
restoration before and after project completion, identifying and monitoring upstream sources of fine sediment, and pursuing more comprehensive sediment models to inform future streambank
restoration.

▼ Engineered log jams (ELJs) were constructed on the Middle Fork of the John Day
River in eastern Oregon as part of a large
restoration project. These log structures were designed to address many of the
restoration goals including creating scour pools, inhibiting
bank erosion, creating and maintaining a sinuous
river planform, and increasing complexity of fish habitat. This study uses geomorphic change detection techniques to monitor topographic change under and around the 26 log structures in two different
river reaches over a six to seven year period. This study finds that the ELJs are remaining stable within the
river and maintaining deep pool habitat. The study provides insight into which log structure variables are most related to the patterns and amounts of aggradation and degradation. Understanding the geomorphic changes to the riverbed in response to the placement of the ELJs can influence the design and future effectiveness of ELJs.

▼ The Brahmaputra
River has constructed an upland
fluvial fan delta with an estimated volume of >5 million km
3; of riverine sediments. Much of this stratigraphy was generated during the Quaternary, a period of time characterized globally by cyclic glacioeustatic fluctuations and regionally by ongoing deformation of the Bengal basin associated with Himalayan convergence. This research examines the extent to which these external climatic and tectonic conditions have influenced the paleogeography of the
river and the evolution of the basin. Stratigraphic analysis of sediments constructed by the Brahmaputra reveals that the course of the
river has evolved in direct response to uplift of the Shillong Plateau, a regional crust block associated with a forward jump of the Himalayan arc. Specifically, the
river has been episodically deflected by uplifting terrain and subsequently attracted to topographic subsidence below the overriding thrust, resulting in the anfractuous course that the
river follows today. Overprinted upon this tectonic steering of the
river, episodic paleohydrological events in the form of ice-dam floods were instrumental in scouring a wide valley paved by the deposition of cobble to boulder-sized gravel during the late glacial to interglacial transition. Presently, the
river braidbelt is constrained within this flood-generated paleovalley, reflecting the long-term influence of paleohydrological events that occurred more than 10,000 years ago on the modern course of the
river. Importantly, these findings suggest that allogenic influences played a major role in the morphostratigraphic evolution of one of the world’s largest
fluvial systems.

▼ Risks to operational integrity of the Rangitata Diversion Race (RDR) presented by bank erosion and extreme discharges in the Rangitata River are investigated. Specific investigations are confined to two locations within the Klondyke reach of the river, namely Intake Bend and Klondyke Bend.
A fluvial geomorphological assessment of the Rangitata River, and specifically the Klondyke reach, is carried out to facilitate the selection of appropriate erosion mitigation measures.
Historical flood data for the Rangitata River are analysed and a flood frequency analysis using annual maximum discharge data is carried out. A risk analysis of flood damage to the RDR intake structure and canal at Intake Bend is undertaken using the results of flood frequency analysis and a calibrated MIKE 11 numerical hydraulic model.
A 1:150 scale, moveable bed, physical hydraulic model of the Intake Bend reach is used to investigate and evaluate methods for the mitigation of fluvial erosion of the RDR embankment and sediment admission to the RDR canal. An analysis of the effect of RDR water abstraction on bed aggradation in the river below the RDR intake is undertaken using the river flow-duration curve and semi-empirical sediment transport equations.
Assessment of erosion trends and mitigation options at Klondyke Bend are undertaken primarily through analysis of historical photographs and river discharge data. River morphology trends are inferred from study of river terrace remnants, recent river bank erosion, bar morphology and intervening discharge regimes. A generic analysis of the effects on river bed and water surface profiles from a proposed bend cut-off, to mitigate erosion at Klondyke Bend, is undertaken using a HEC-6 morphological model. Assessment of erosion mitigation options and conceptual design of a recommended option are based on the above data and from documented experience of similar situations on other rivers.

▼ A growing body of evidence suggests that a substantial portion of the sediment and phosphorus delivered to surface waters from agricultural landscapes originates from stream bed and bank erosion. Improved quality of information on the processes controlling the erosion and transport of sediment and phosphorus will aid in planning targeted conservation practices to reduce sediment and phosphorus export from agricultural landscapes. A major objective of this research was to quantify the importance of stream bank erosion as a source of downstream sediment and phosphorus flux in a small agricultural watershed in Boone and Story counties, Iowa. Stream bank recession rates were estimated using erosion pins installed into a randomly selected subset of severely eroding banks. Between March 2012 and May 2015, bank sediment loss exceeded sediment export from the watershed by 29%. Phosphorus losses originating from stream bank erosion were found to account for 35% of the cumulative particulate phosphorus export from the watershed. Bank recession rates, along with sediment and phosphorus export, were closely related to maximum discharge rates. Three major storm flow events contributed 79% of the cumulative recession, 49% of the total sediment export, and 38% of the particulate phosphorus export. These results increase our understanding of the relative contribution and processes controlling erosion and transport of sediment and phosphorus from stream bank erosion.
