Plant Morphology Impacts Bedload Sediment Transport
GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
14 june 2024
CHAO LIU, Li He, fujian Li, Xingnian Liu, Heidi M....
Bedload sediment transport plays an important role in the evolution of rivers, marshes and deltas. In these aquatic environments, vegetation is wid...
Reply to Comment by Poppema and Wüthrich on “Momentum and Energy Predict the Backwater Rise Generated by a Large Wood Jam”
GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
17 april 2024
Elizabeth Follett, Heidi M. Nepf, Isabella Schalko
Follett et al. (2020, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020gl089346) demonstrated that a large wood jam can be modeled as a porous obstruction with mom...
Wave attenuation and economic analysis of hybrid marsh-seawall nature-based solutions
OCEAN SCIENCES 2024
coastal and estuarine hydrodynamics and sediment processes | 23 february 2024
In Him Lee, Heidi M. Nepf
A seawall fronted by a marsh is a potential hybrid, nature-based solution for both rural and urban coastal protection. The wave attenuation achieved b...

Quantifying the Influence of Porosity-Induced Drag on Wave Attenuation in Constructed Oyster Reefs
OCEAN SCIENCES 2024
coastal and estuarine hydrodynamics and sediment processes | 23 february 2024
James Vincent Brice, Heidi M. Nepf
There has been great interest in the application of constructed oyster reefs (CORs) as nature-based coastal protection, primarily designed to attenuat...

Spatial variability in sediment carbon storage in a patchy seagrass meadow
OCEAN SCIENCES 2024
coastal and estuarine biology and biogeochemistry | 22 february 2024
Rachel B. Schaefer, Phil Colarusso, Juliet Simpson...
Seagrass meadows are known for their capacity for long-term storage of sediment organic carbon, but a range of environmental factors drive significant...

Flow and Turbulence Due To Wood Contribute to Declogging of Gravel Bed
GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
21 january 2024
Isabella Schalko, Maria Ponce, Simone Lassar, Seba...
The placement of wood in rivers is a common restoration method used to locally affect hydraulic and morphologic conditions to create habitat. Labor...

Effect of Spacing Between Submerged Vegetation Patches on the Production of Turbulence in Flow Structure
ECOHYDRAULICS AND ECOMORPHODYNAMICS: BIOPHYSICAL INTERACTIONS WITHIN FLUVIAL SYSTEMS ACROSS AN ELEVATION GRADIENT II POSTER
earth and planetary surface processes | 14 december 2023
Hyoungchul Park, Heidi M. Nepf
In natural streams, submerged vegetation often grows in patches with diverse spatial patterns and density (patch spacing). Depending on the spacing, t...
