Abstract:<p>Water and sediment transport in rivers are not uniform through time. In perennial rivers, sediment may be in motion for much of the year. However, intermittent rivers only transport bedload material during the most significant flow events, therefore changes in precipitation patterns have a large impact on these sensitive systems. Understanding intermittency is thus a key challenge in the Earth Sciences due to the vulnerability of landscapes in a changing climate. Here, we generate new constrai… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
