Process-based hydrological models have a long history dating back to the 1960s. Criticized
by some as over-parameterized, overly complex, and difficult to use, a more nuanced view is …

Fishes suspended in water are subject to the complex nature of three-dimensional flows.
Often, these flows are the result of abiotic and biotic sources that alter otherwise uniform …

Confluences act as critical nodes in a river system. They affect hydrodynamics, sediment
transport, bed morphology, and eco-hydraulics of the river system. Convergence of streams …

Generalized habitat criteria for spawning sites of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown
trout (Salmo trutta) using depth, water velocity and substrate size were created based on …

This laboratory study describes the sediment patterns formed in a sand bed around circular
patches of rigid vertical cylinders, representing a patch of reedy emergent vegetation. The …

Effective fishway design requires extensive integration of biological and hydraulic data.
Many relevant biological parameters remain poorly characterized, however, and the lack of …

The scientific determination of ecological flow can rationalize and specify the needs of river
health in light of the current orientation toward ecologically oriented water management. We …

Vegetation was added to a fully developed sandy point bar in the meander of a constructed
stream. Significant changes in the flow structure and bed topography were observed. As …

River confluences are nodes where the unique hydrological processes of two rivers meet,
resulting in complex flow structure and water quality mixing processes. Thus, greater food …

Laboratory experiments examined how the hydrodynamic interaction between neighboring
patches of model vegetation impacted deposition and the potential for patch expansion. The …
