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 ...

Ocean currents determine the structure of the deep-sea ocean floor and the transport of sediments, organic carbon, nutrients and pollutants. In flume-tank experiments, researchers have simulated how ...

The slope of streambeds has dramatic and unexpected effects on sediment transport. Experimental data from the flume lab show that gravity does not facilitate sediment transport in the expected manner.

Large wood (LW; >10 cm in diameter and >1 m in length) within river corridors - including channels and adjacent floodplains - plays a key role in shaping hydraulic conditions, sediment deposition and ...

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - The University of North Carolina Wilmington released details on Wednesday, May 31, about its new 9,500-gallon wave flume. “UNCW students and faculty in the undergraduate ...

The natural environment is filled with unpredictability and mutually dependent variables. It is often difficult to determine direct cause and effect type responses with this tremendous variability, so ...

Details of past climate conditions are revealed to researchers not only by sediment samples from the ocean floor, but also by the surface of the seafloor, which is exposed to currents that are ...
