Feb 6, 2024 · The science of riverbank erosion needs to apply the basic principles of fluvial dynamics to understand the nature of the riverbank erosion process. On the other hand, measuring the consequences of bank erosion from the socioeconomic perspective attracts social scientists.

Feb 6, 2024 · River bank erosion is a complex process controlled by the factors of bank material composition, bank stratigraphy, bank geometry, and more importantly the dynamics in the flow regime (Thorne, 1991). Based on the bank material composition and stratigraphy the river bank can broadly be classified as a non-cohesive, cohesive, and mixed bank.
Jun 1, 2008 · Our objectives are to (a) synthesize geomorphic and biological literature through principles that highlight the importance of bank erosion processes as disturbances integral to components of riparian ecosystems at a variety of scales; (b) identify the effects of channel bank infrastructure on riverbank and riparian ecology; (c) identify ...

Jan 1, 2021 · Riverbank erosion has gained attention as one of the most important issues to be addressed by fluvial geomorphologists, hydrologists, riparian land managers, river scientists, planners as well...
Jan 30, 2023 · In this work, we create the first global data set of riverbank erosion for >370,000 km of large rivers using up to 20 years of water classifications from Landsat imagery. We estimate uncertainty by propagating water classification errors through our methods.
May 2, 2017 · Trees play multiple roles in riverbank ecosystems: as well as binding riverbanks with root systems, they also reduce the infiltration of rainwater into the soil through evapotranspiration.
Aug 1, 2020 · Bank erosion results from a suite of geomorphic processes playing a significant role in river channel evolution. It is notably expressed at various time-scales through meander and floodplain formation, lateral channel migration following bank retreat, and sediment transport within the drainage basin.
