Efficiency and sustainability of gravel augmentation to restore large regulated rivers: Insights from three experiments on the Rhine River (France/Germany)

V Chardon, L Schmitt, F Arnaud, H Piégay, A Clutier - Geomorphology, 2021 - Elsevier
Over the last two centuries, rivers have been strongly regulated, inducing notable sediment
starvation and flow reduction. This regulation has altered aquatic habitats, biocenosis and …

Coupling channel evolution monitoring and RFID tracking in a large, wandering, gravel-bed river: Insights into sediment routing on geomorphic continuity through a …
