Simulating Erosive and Accretive Conditions in the Swash: Applications of a Nonlinear Wave and Morphology Evolution Model

This work presents a new model for surf and swash zone morphology evolution induced by nonlinear waves.Wave transformation in the surf and swash zones is computed by a nonlinear wave model based on the higher order Boussinesq equations for breaking and non-breaking waves.Regarding sediment transport, the model builds on previous research by the aut

Gene flow in a pioneer plant metapopulation (Myricaria germanica) at the catchment scale in a fragmented alpine river system

Abstract River alterations for natural hazard mitigation and land reclamation result in habitat decline and fragmentation for riparian plant species.Extreme events such as floods are responsible for additional local species loss or population decline.Tributaries might provide refugia and subsequent source populations for the colonization of downstr
