In single-threaded rivers, erosion and deposition balanced out. As a result, the channel’s width remains constant, allowing these rivers to lean into their bends and form wide, meandering paths ...

It turns out that rivers choose their path based on erosion – a discovery that could transform flood planning and restoration.

By addressing bank erosion and sedimentation along the lower Osage River, DNR and the Corps hope to restore degraded aquatic and riparian habitats, promote fish and wildlife biodiversity and ...

Sand River is exactly what it says it is, a river of white sand, an ephemeral stream, the source of folklore and Indian legends, and one of the most beautiful and unusual features of Hitchcock ...

Incorporating these new ideas, the team created a landscape evolution model that simulates a river network with an initial S-shaped channel and vertical erosion. After running the model 5 million ...

Long after tectonic plate movement has created mountains, forces such as weather and river erosion can continue to shape a landscape. One such landscape is the Colorado Plateau, which spans more ...

The water was some 25 feet beyond the park’s sidewalk. On a Feb. 1 tour this year, with the Ohio River standing at 48 feet, water creeped a dozen feet closer to the sidewalk, covering the erosion.

River is higher, faster While some erosion is natural along the Minnesota, the amount of sediment that has been choking the life out of the water is now 10 times higher than it was in the 1800s.
