Sediment Dynamics and the Hydromorphology of Fluvial Systems

Links sediment dynamics to hydromorphology and, by extension, to the biogeochemical functioning and ecohydrology of fluvial systems. Fluvial sediment dynamics are explored over a range of spatial and temporal scales, from global and continental-scale fluxes to detailed process studies on small instrumented catchments, and particularly the role of extreme events. Process links between hydromorphology and ecology are examined and management-related studies are detailed. The utility of sedimentary archives for reconstructing long-term sediment fluxes and elucidating the impact of land-use and climate change on sediment delivery and biogeochemical cycling is also a focus. The critical issue of residence time is explored. Flume-based hydraulics and microcosm studies of diffuse pollutant behaviour and other developments in experiment-led research and modelling are reported.
