Flow Modeling in Symmetrically Narrowing Flood Plains

Flood Modeling in the Coastal Plains and Mountains: Analysis of Terrain Resolution

The number of flood disasters has increased worldwide in recent decades. Identifying the optimal resolution or scale at which to represent digital terrain models DTMs is critical in order to improve our ability to accurately and efficiently model floods. Few studies have attempted to compare flood modeling results using different resolutions of DTMs in divergent environments. In this study floo...

Cyclical coestraction and destruction of flood dominated flood plains in semiarid Australia

The morphostratigraphy of flood plains along unconfined reaches of the Todd River, central Australia, indicate that flood plain formation is dominated by high magnitude floods. Processes of flood plain destruction include channel widening, vertical stripping, flood channel, back channel and macroturbulent scour. Flood plain construction occurs predominantly during high magnitude floods. Overban...

geochronology for Strickland River flood plains, Papua New Guinea

The Strickland River is the primary sediment source for the Fly River system, a large tropical river that ranks in the global top 20 for both water and sediment discharge. Over the past decade the Strickland sediment discharge has been gauged at many locations. Comprehensive studies are now underway to study the delivery, transport, and storage of sediment throughout this system. A key question...
