DOI: 10.1002/2016jc012412
Abstract: The distribution of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and its variations in estuary regions are key to promoting carbon, oxygen, and nutrient cycling in coastal regions and nearby seas. This study presents SPM estimations for the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2016jf003929
Abstract: Meandering river planform evolution is driven by the interaction of local nonlinear processes and cutoff dynamics. Despite the known nonlinear dynamics governing the evolution of meandering rivers, previous attempts have found at most a weak… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl074511
Abstract: Mechanisms that produce seismic and acoustic wavefields near rivers are poorly understood because of a lack of observations relating temporally dependent river conditions to the near-river seismoacoustic fields. This controlled study at the Harry W.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017jf004213
Abstract: When the water discharge, sediment supply, and base level vary around stable values, an alluvial river evolves toward a mean equilibrium or graded state with small fluctuations around this mean state (i.e., a dynamic or… read more here.

Watershed-Scale Drivers of Air-Water CO2 Exchanges in Two Lagoonal North Carolina (USA) Estuaries
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"
DOI: 10.1002/2017jg004243
Abstract: Riverine loading of nutrients and organic matter act in concert to modulate CO2 fluxes in estuaries, yet quantitative relationships between these factors remain poorly defined. This study explored watershed-scale mechanisms responsible for the relatively low… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1316
Abstract: PREMISE Gesneria pauciflora is a rare, threatened plant in riparian forests. Periodic disturbances, expected in this habitat, could influence demographic dynamics on plant populations, yet their impact may not be the same across the watershed.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.3151
Abstract: 1. The Burdekin River floodplain wetlands are internationally important and act as a sink for sediments and nutrients that would otherwise enter the World Heritage‐listed Great Barrier Reef lagoon. 2. The Burdekin River has the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4577
Abstract: Abstract Due to the heterogeneous distribution of resources along large rivers, understanding prey utilization by basin‐scale fish assemblages remains a challenge, and thus, recognizing regional fish trophic guilds and indicator species is important. We analyzed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5191
Abstract: Abstract Habitat discontinuity, anthropogenic disturbance, and overharvesting have led to population fragmentation and decline worldwide. Preservation of remaining natural genetic diversity is crucial to avoid continued genetic erosion. Brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) is an… read more here.
