Seasonal and morphological controls on nitrate retention in Arctic deltas

D Knights, A Piliouras, J Schwenk… - Geophysical …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Estimates of nitrate loading to the Arctic Ocean are limited by the lack of field observations
within deltas partly due to logistical constraints. To overcome this limitation, we use a remote …

Defining the length parameter in river bifurcation models: a theoretical approach

M Redolfi - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
One‐dimensional models for river bifurcations rely on a nodal point relation that determines
the distribution of sediments between the downstream branches. The most widely‐adopted …

The Entropic Braiding Index (eBI): A Robust Metric to Account for the Diversity of Channel Scales in Multi‐Thread Rivers

A Tejedor, J Schwenk, M Kleinhans… - Geophysical …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Braiding Index (BI), defined as the average count of intercepted channels per
cross‐section, is a widely used metric for characterizing multi‐thread river systems …

Floodplain connecting channels as critical paths for hydrological connectivity of deltaic river networks

W Gao, ZB Wang, MG Kleinhans, C Miao… - Water Resources …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
A river bifurcation is critical for distributing water, sediment and nutrients to the downstream
branches of deltaic river networks. However, the downstream branches of a bifurcation can …

Suspended sediment transport and storage in Arctic deltas

C Hines, A Piliouras - Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
River fluxes to the Arctic Ocean impact sea ice extent, nutrient availability, and coastal
ecosystems. Arctic river deltas modulate fluxes of water, sediment, and nutrients reaching …

R Mahon, C Hughes, H Chen… - The …, 2024 - thesedimentaryrecord.scholasticahq …
Channel mouth bifurcation angles on modern river deltas are remarkably consistent with a
theoretical prediction of 72°. However, the persistence of this angle through channel …

Controlling factors on water and sediment partitioning at deltaic bifurcations

G Barile, P Passalacqua, S Kwon… - Authorea …, 2024 - essopenarchive.org
Bifurcations in river-dominated deltas are the main actors in the routing of water and
