Water Erosion and Sediment Transport
A section of Water (ISSN 2073-4441).
Section Information
The Section of Water Erosion and Sediment Transport publishes original research papers and reviews related to all aspects of sediment transport in catchments or parcels, rivers, streams, estuaries, and coastal waters, including but not limited to the following topics:
- River morphology;
- Morphodynamics;
- Associated contaminations, and their impact on ecosystems;
- Fundamental process studies (laboratory or field experiments, modeling);
- Case studies with generic value;
- Developments of new methods (instrumentation, data processing, machine learning, remote sensing, etc.);
- Analysis of water and sediment budget variability with respect to human influence and climatic forcing are welcomed, as well as solutions for watershed, river, and coastal management.
