Riparian zones are dynamic ecosystems that form at the interface between the aquatic and
terrestrial components of a landscape. They are shaped by complex interactions between …

River widening, defined as a lateral expansion of the channel, is a critical process that
maintains fluvial ecosystems and is part of the regular functioning of rivers. However, in …

Multi-temporal GIS analysis of topographic maps and aerial photographs along with
topographic and geomorphological surveys are used to assess evolutionary trends and key …

Gravel mining has been a widespread activity in ephemeral rivers worldwide whose long-
lasting hydrogeomorphological impacts preclude effective implementation of water and …

Evolutionary trajectories and related control factors of the Fortore River (southern Italy) are
analyzed over a 150-year period as to assess channel modifications. A multitemporal GIS …

Temporary streams are dynamic ecosystems in which mosaics of flowing, ponded and dry
habitats support high biodiversity of both aquatic and terrestrial species. Species interact …

This paper combines synoptic airborne LiDAR data with historical aerial photos to
reconstruct floodplain formation and relate this with vegetation patch characteristics on three …

Ephemeral streams are typical Mediterranean fluvial systems with high risk of flash flooding,
and few data are available about these systems in most locales. However, the SAIH network …

In this paper we analyse the recent geomorphological evolution of the River Ñuble, an
unmodified wandering river in the Mediterranean region of Chile, highlighting the relation …

In this article the morphological changes undergone by the Entella River (Northern Italy)
