Student modeler award 2013
Graduate student Ajay Limaye of California Institute of Technology casts a new approach for keeping track of meandering channels and their sediments. He tracks bank erosion and sedimentation with a vector-based framework, which helps overcome grid dependencies of previous channel models. Limaye received the CSDMS Student Modeler Award 2013 for his contribution. More...

	'''~~Vegetation Can Increase Bedload Transport~~'''<br>Vegetation in floodplains is often thought to be an efficient agent to alter flow and trap sediment. However, tank experiments show that bedload fluxes can actually be higher through vegetation patches due to increased near-bed high turbulence and scouring. A study presented in a recent issue of ~~Journal~~ of ~~Geophysical Research suggests that bedload fluxes around vegetation can vary spatially by an order~~ of ~~magnitude~~ and ~~local scour zones~~ and ~~bedforms could negatively impact survival~~ of ~~nearby plants~~.
