Alteration to the sediment supply of fluvial channels is well understood to trigger
morphological adjustment, but the particularities and peculiarities that arise in any specific …

Large dam removal can trigger changes to physical and biological processes that influence
vegetation dynamics in former reservoirs, along river corridors downstream of former dams …

Measuring river response to dam removal affords a rare, important opportunity to study
fluvial response to sediment pulses on a large field scale. We present a before–after/control …

Mountain rivers often receive sediment in the form of episodic, discrete pulses from a variety
of natural and anthropogenic processes. Once emplaced in the river, the movement of this …

Dams fragment the longitudinal flux of sediment and obstruct fish passage. To help
remediate these impacts, dam removal has become an important tool in the river restoration …

Purpose Riparian zones are important modifiers of nutrient flux between terrestrial and
aquatic ecosystems. However, dams alter riparian zones—trapping fine-grained, organic …

Sediment management is an important aspect of dam removal projects, often driving costs
and influencing community acceptance. For dams storing uncontaminated sediments …

Spawning gravel scarcity is a limiting factor for successful recovery of federally-threatened
anadromous fish like steelhead of central California. A BACI-experimental design using bed …

Abstract In August 2020, the 3-m tall Pilchuck River Diversion Dam was removed from the
Pilchuck River, allowing free fish passage to the upper third of the watershed for the first time …

Vertical coordinate information is primarily referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical
Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) because the US Army Corps of Engineers dam operations at Fall …
