Quantitative relationships between river and channel-belt planform patterns

Geology (2022)

RivGraph was used to extract centerlines, widths, and channel counts to connect river planform geometry with channel-belt structure.

The Entropic Braiding Index (eBI): a robust metric to account for the diversity of channel scales in multi-thread rivers

Geophysical Research Letters (2022)

RivGraph was used to measure channel counts and widths in support of the Entropic Braiding Index, a multiscale metric for braided rivers.

Width-Based Discharge Partitioning in Distributary Networks: How Right We Are

Geophysical Research Letters (2022)

RivGraph was used to test width-based discharge partitioning schemes at channel bifurcations in distributary networks.

Interplay of river and tidal forcings promotes loops in coastal channel networks

Geophysical Research Letters (2022)

RivGraph was used to quantify the loopiness of 21 natural coastal channel networks and identify islands enclosed by loops.

Nitrate Removal Across Ecogeomorphic Zones in Wax Lake Delta, Louisiana (USA)

Water Resources Research (2020)

RivGraph flux modeling was used to estimate nitrate uptake rates in channels across the Wax Lake Delta.

Seasonal and Morphological Controls on Nitrate Retention in Arctic Deltas

Geophysical Research Letters (2023)

RivGraph flux modeling was used to estimate nitrate retention in Arctic river deltas and compare seasonal and morphological controls.
