Environmental water represents a key resource in managing freshwater ecosystems against
pervasive threats. The impacts of climate change add further pressures to environmental …

Here we report a∼ 2000-year sediment sequence from the Fortescue Marsh (Martuyitha) in
the eastern Pilbara region, which we have used to investigate changing hydroclimatic …

Wetland classification has become a primary tool to characterize and inventory wetland
landscapes, but wetlands are difficult to classify because they straddle the terrestrial and …

The Pantanal is an important active sedimentary basin in central South America where
highly diverse flora and fauna are sustained by seasonal floods. Intense land use in the …

Alluvial rivers in semi-arid and arid landscapes are prone to episodic geomorphic
adjustments related to long-term sediment accumulation and occasional reworking by flash …

Improved knowledge regarding dryland river character and behaviour is important as the
increasing threats of climate change and anthropogenic activities exacerbate water security …

Controls on the characteristics of floodplain wetlands in drylands are diverse and may
include extrinsic factors such as tectonic activity, lithology and climate, and intrinsic …

Avulsion (relocation of a river course to a new position) typically is assumed to occur more
frequently in rivers with faster sedimentation rates, yet supporting field data are limited and …

The character and behaviour of dryland rivers are driven by complex interactions between
extrinsic and intrinsic controls. A long-term perspective is necessary to assess the sensitivity …

Floodplain wetland ecosystems respond dynamically to flooding, fire and geomorphological
processes. We employed a combined geomorphological and environmental proxy approach …
