Fluvial drainage basin area is often related to channel length and local slope through power law relationships and the relatively small range of exponents observed in these relationships is thought to result from physical mechanisms. Proposed mechanisms assume that the observed correlation between drainage area and fluid discharge is caused by precipitation. Using high resolution DEMs of channe...

My overarching goal is the development of twoand three-dimensional, moving-boundary, morphodynamic models of continental-margin sedimentation on geologic time scales. The lateQuaternary stratigraphic package on continental margins is a complex juxtaposition of depositional and erosional surfaces that reflects the response of intrinsically coupled, fluvial and shallow-marine sediment dynamics to...

Intense rainfall in urban areas often generates both pluvial flooding due to the limited capacity of drainage systems, as well as fluvial flooding caused by deluges from river channels. The concurrence of pluvial and fluvial flooding can aggravate their (individual) potential damages. To analyse the impact caused by individual and composite type of flooding, the SIPSON/UIM model, an integrated ...
