In many environments, climate change causes an increase in the frequency and magnitude
of Large Infrequent Disturbances (LIDs). LIDs make fragile areas, as mountain basins, even …

Extreme events such as flash floods and debris flows are frequent phenomena that occur in
steep torrential catchments; these kinds of events can cause notable geomorphic changes …

The way Alpine rivers mobilize, convey and store coarse material during high‐magnitude
events is poorly understood, notably because it is difficult to obtain measurements of …

Abstract The European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC), which
came into force in Italy under Decree Law no. 152 of 3rd April 2006, has as its objectives the …

The possibility of analysing the characteristics and volume of inchannel large wood (LW) is
of importance for river management but the traditional manual field activities are usually time …

Riverine environments can be very dynamic and complex systems, particularly because of
the interaction between active channel and riparian land during flood events of different …

Suspended sediment transport in streams is an effective indicator of soil erosion at the
watershed scale. This process was studied using the data obtained from two continuous …

The magnitude of river morphological changes are better analyzed through the use of
quantitative approaches, wherein resolution accuracy and uncertainty assessment are …

In the analysis of high gradient mountain streams an important aspect is represented by the
quantification of the bedload transport. Field data necessary to test transport models and …

The evaluation of the morphological quality of rivers is essential to define the level of
alteration and for implementing future management strategies that consider also hazards …
