The dynamic component in hydrology, sedimentology, and, consequently, river morphology
serves as a backbone for the entire river environment (Maddock 1999). In addition to water …

Emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane (CH4) from streams and rivers are a
significant component of global freshwater methane emissions. The distribution of CH4 …

Simulation of stochastic and variable sediment transport processes within models still poses
