Fifty years of hyporheic zone research have shown the important role played by the
hyporheic zone as an interface between groundwater and surface waters. However, it is only …

Purpose Humanity has been modifying the planet in a measurable way for thousands of
years. Recently, this influence has been such that some feel we are in a new geological …

River-wetland corridors form where a high degree of connectivity between the surface
(rheic) and subsurface (hyporheic) components of streamflow creates an interconnected …

River management based solely on physical science has proven to be unsustainable and
unsuccessful, evidenced by the fact that the problems this approach intended to solve (eg …

Hyporheic exchange is the mixing of surface and shallow subsurface water through porous
sediment surrounding a river and is driven by spatial and temporal variations in channel …

Earth's surface is composed of a staggering diversity of particulate–fluid mixtures: dry to wet,
dilute to dense, colloidal to granular and attractive to repulsive particles. This material variety …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Migratory fishes are common in freshwaters throughout the world and can fundamentally
alter recipient ecosystems. We describe different types of fish migrations and consider their …

River valleys and their streams provide the physical template for riverine ecosystems, and
exert strong controls on the spatial distribution of aquatic organisms and their susceptibility …

Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) disturb sediments and fertilize streams with marine-
derived nutrients during their annual spawning runs, leading researchers to classify these …
