Modeling the processes that control fine sediments transport in the Río de la Plata estuary
(Coastal Education & Research Foundation, 2018-05)
Numerical models are excellent tools for conducting process studies and testing hypotheses based on observations. They constitute a "virtual laboratory" in which the forcings can be set "on" or "off", or even the environmental ...
Modeling the Suspended Sediment Transport in a Very Wide, Shallow, and Microtidal Estuary, the Río de la Plata, Argentina
(Blackwell Publishing, 2019-10)
The impact of the diverse processes responsible for the distribution of suspended sediments in the wide, shallow, and microtidal Río de la Plata estuary and the adjacent shelf is studied by means of a set of process-oriented ...
Multiscale environmental heterogeneity in a large river-floodplain system
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-06)
River-floodplain systems host very high biodiversity and provide a great variety of ecosystem services due largely to their high environmental heterogeneity, which is strongly dependent on spatial and temporal scales of ...
Using the mineralogy of river sediments as pollution indicator of clay mining activity
(Assoc Brasileira Recursos Hidricos-abrh, 2016-07-01)
View of the difficulty to elect standards for water pollution control in clay mining activity, this study aimed to verify the possibility of using the mineralogy of river sediments as a pollution indicator of clay mining ...
Evaluation of sediment production and siltation in a small earth dam in Fernandópolis, SP
(Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola, 2015)
Evaluation of sediment production and siltation in a small earth dam in Fernandópolis, SP
(Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola, 2014-10-01)
The siltation is a natural process, but can be accelerated by human actions and results in major problems for the reservoirs, reducing its useful volume for irrigation. An example of this problem was the reduction of the ...
Comportamiento morfológico, hidráulico y sedimentológico del sistema cauce principal (Paraná) y secundario (Colastiné)
(2018-03-15)
In anabraching systems like the Paraná in its middle reach, characteristic geomorphological structures are secondary channels, which play a key role in the filling of the floodplain dynamics. They also link the mean channel ...
