Ice-Penetrating Radar Reveals Age of Greenland Ice Sheet Layers

First comprehensive analysis of deep radar data gives insight into the dynamics and history of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

New technology could help scientists understand how experimental floods from Glen Canyon Dam restore sandbars downstream.

Models suggest that the shape of river valleys depends strongly on how meandering rivers interact with the sediment and bedrock of the banks.

The well-known ratio between sand ripple spacing and wave-driven flow oscillations may be dictated by flow dynamics downstream of ripple crests.

In a flat sand bed, water creates undulating features.

New study rethinks dynamics of runoff-driven erosion in response to rainstorms.

Scientist creates a numerical model that explores sediment transport.

Colonies of tiny caddisflies slow stream sediment transport with their silk nets.

Scientists create models to help them figure out how the slope of a river can record ancient tectonic activity.

Analysis of the Fraser River suggests that riverbed sediments shift abruptly depending on river slope changes and water speed.
