While restoring hyporheic flowpaths has been cited as a benefit to stream restoration structures, little documentation exists confirming that constructed restoration structures induce comparable hyporheic exchange to natural stream features. This study compares a stream restoration structure (cross-vane) to a natural feature (riffle) concurrently in the same stream reach using time-lapsed elect...

In the United States, several thousand stream gages provide what typically is the only source of continuous, long-term streamflow and channel-geometry information for the locations being monitored. In this paper, the geomorphic content of stream-gage information, previous and potential applications of stream-gage information in fluvial geomorphic research and various possible limitations are de...

1. introduction floods are among earth's most common and most destructive natural hazards. floods create geomorphic hazards via changes in sediment transport and channel configuration (e.g. channel width, lateral migration, planform changes, etc). in this context, floodplain zoning and its application in spatial planning is important in non- structural measures in order to reducing flood damage...

This paper describes a comprehensive stream-riparian modeling system to evaluate the effects of channel-riparian zones on stream Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Nonpoint source pollutants emanating from agricultural fields are major contributors to the ecological impairment of stream channels. Nutrients and sediments are the principle sources of surface water impairment. The edge-of-field sy...

Excessive erosion, transport, and deposition of sediment in surface waters is a major problem in the United States. A national strategy is needed to develop scientifically defensible procedures to facilitate the development of TMDL's for clean sediment in streams and rivers of the United States. In the first part of this study data sets which contain sediment transport and flow data were identi...

Combining visual-guided robotics with cloud networking brought a new era into industrial robotic research and development. New challenges have to be tackled focus on providing proper communication data processing setup: sensor as well the control software should decoupled from local robot hardware move cloud. In emerging field of robotics, there are trade-offs that handled. More more sensors su...
