Rivers leave measurable height signatures that satellites can track, helping scientists detect erosion and flood risks sooner ...

The study of river bank erosion and channel dynamics is fundamental to understanding the interplay between natural fluvial processes and human interventions in diverse environments. Recent research ...

The long-standing question of how the Green River cut through the Uinta Mountains has taken a step closer to resolution. New ...

It’s mid-morning at an oxbow on the Mendenhall River, and signs of change are all around. A handful of spruce trees, felled by river erosion, sit awash in the gray-green rush. Silty ledges, ...

The erosion has progressed at an accelerated rate and has reached other rivers, threatening a national highway and Indigenous communities. Studies commissioned by the Ecuadoran government call for ...

Soil erosion is a key hydro-geological hazard and a primary cause of land degradation around the world, and it is increasing due to the combined pressures ...

Researcher uncovers why most of the records left by ancient rivers preserve commonplace processes. The Torridon sandstone in northwestern Scotland preserves six kilometers of river sediment from ...

On Earth, river erosion is usually a slow-going process. But on Mars, massive floods from overflowing crater lakes had an outsized role in shaping the Martian surface, carving deep chasms and moving ...

Every spring, melting snow and heavy rainfall brings a higher risk of flooding and riverbank erosion to parts of Canada. Bank erosion is responsible for a significant portion of annual flood damage in ...

Across large parts of northern Tanzania, gully erosion – soil erosion caused by flowing water – is cutting deep scars through fertile farmland, grazing areas, roads and even villages. These gullies ...
