- Eroding outer banks lacking trees: River banks become vulnerable to erosion when they are not lined with trees or surrounded by wetlands, and when there is no wood in the river channel to cushion them from the force of the river.

The concept of resilience has been widely used in ecological research across a variety of disciplines. According to the Macmillan Dictionary resilience means ‘the act of rebounding’, in other words, to bounce back. The resilience concept was first used in the 1620s and originally derived from the Latin word ‘resiliens’. From the early 1970s, the co...
The concept of resilience thinking originally goes back to the study of systems ecology (Holling 1973). However, the specific initiative of resilience thinking for disasters started in the late 1990s, through the establishment of the Resilience Analysis Research Center in Stockholm, Sweden. Later on, the concept of resilience thinking has been used...
Community resilience refers to the capacities and overall structures of a community that enables the community to respond after a disturbance and adapt to change and uncertainty (Cutter et al. 2008; Norris et al. 2008; Tidball and Krasny 2007; Tobin 1999). More specifically, community resilience defines the shared ability of a population within a g...

Feb 6, 2024 · Dimensions of riverbank erosion are manifested through (1) natural dimensions and (2) socioeconomic dimensions. Riverbank erosion is popularly regarded as a natural process because whenever there is lateral erosion of a river, bank erosion is inevitable.
Nov 9, 2022 · River bank erosion leads to lateral migration of channel and formation of meandering channel belt. Noncohesive stream bank material and climatic factors (mainly rainfall and temperature) influence the magnitude of bank failure (Wolman, 1959) while the concave bank is more prone to erosion.
Dec 1, 2017 · Human displacement is liable to occur in riverside regions where people are vulnerable to riverbank erosion. This vulnerability depends on factors such as population density and the economic...

Apr 6, 2017 · Managed flows provide opportunities for monitoring riverbank response to flows, which in turn informs planning. The results demonstrate that environmental flows have little influence on bank erosion and visual perceptions in the absence of monitoring are an unreliable guide.
