Flooding Dynamics Within an Amazonian Floodplain: Water Circulation Patterns and Inundation Duration

Flood Pulse Dynamics of an Unregulated River Floodplain in the Southeastern U.S. Coastal Plain

Annual flooding in low-gradient rivers is recognized as an important subsidy between the river and its broad adjoining floodplains. Unfortunately, relatively few lowgradient rivers are unregulated and retain their natural "flood pulse" behavior in most developed regions of the world. Furthermore, attempts to quantify flood inundation dynamics of any river floodplain are scarce. We used aerial p...

Spatial and temporal patterns in fish assemblages following an artificially extended floodplain inundation event, northern Murray-Darling Basin, Australia.

Water extraction from dryland rivers is often associated with declines in the health of river and floodplain ecosystems due to reduced flooding frequency and extent of floodplain inundation. Following moderate flooding in early 2008 in the Narran River, Murray-Darling Basin, Australia, 10,423 ML of water was purchased from agricultural water users and delivered to the river to prolong inundatio...

Floodplain Water Storage in the Negro River Basin Estimated from Microwave Remote Sensing of Inundation Area and Water Levels

The objective of this study is to determine spatio-temporal variations of water volume over inundated areas located in large river basins using combined observations from the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) onboard the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (JERS1), the Topex/Poseidon (T/P) altimetry satellite, and in-situ hydrographic stations. Ultimately, the goal is to quantify the role of floodp...
