The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is well-known for maintenance dredging within the Great Lakes to support navigability and commerce. Tributaries connected to the lakes contribute to increased sediment ...

In this study, we present a numerical model for predicting sediment transport and the associated erosion and deposition processes in a natural reef area. The prediction system consists of several ...

Numerical modeling of sediment transport in hydropower reservoirs has emerged as a crucial field of study in water resources engineering. This multidisciplinary approach combines computational fluid ...

The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) rivers carry a massive sediment load that feeds the world’s largest depositional system: the GBM megadelta. The mass of sediment transported annually by the GBM ...

A new IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP), entitled Development of Radiometric Methods and Modelling For Measurement of Sediment Transport in Coastal Systems and Rivers, will investigate how ...

Sediment dynamics on Arctic shelves can impact coastal geomorphology, habitat suitability, and biogeochemical cycling, and are expected to be sensitive to changes in sea ice extent. Variability in ...

Prediction of shoreline change around inlets at meso-time scales (years to decades) is the next logical step following verification of microscale models. If mesoscale simulations are a goal, a basic ...

Hydropower is often described as a cornerstone of the global energy transition because of its ability to provide reliable, cost-efficient power and flexibility to balance variable sources such as ...

The ice-covered season plays an important role in the development of river channels, a new study shows. The spatial variability of sediment transport and differences in depositional and erosional ...

New research from SFU’s Jeremy Venditti dives into the science of going with the flow predicting the evolution of the Earth’s surface. Researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and The ...
