  • Seasonal Flooding Affects Habitat and Landscape Dynamics of a Gravel
    Seasonal flooding affects habitat and landscape dynamics of a gravel-bed river floodplain Katelyn P. Driscoll1,2,5 and F. Richard Hauer1,3,4,6 1Systems Ecology Graduate Program, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana 59812 USA 2Rocky Mountain Research Station, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102 USA 3Flathead Lake Biological Station, University of Montana, Polson, Montana 59806 USA 4Montana Institute on Ecosystems, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana 59812 USA Abstract: Floodplains are comprised of aquatic and terrestrial habitats that are reshaped frequently by hydrologic processes that operate at multiple spatial and temporal scales. It is well established that hydrologic and geomorphic dynamics are the primary drivers of habitat change in river floodplains over extended time periods. However, the effect of fluctuating discharge on floodplain habitat structure during seasonal flooding is less well understood. We collected ultra-high resolution digital multispectral imagery of a gravel-bed river floodplain in western Montana on 6 dates during a typical seasonal flood pulse and used it to quantify changes in habitat abundance and diversity as- sociated with annual flooding. We observed significant changes in areal abundance of many habitat types, such as riffles, runs, shallow shorelines, and overbank flow. However, the relative abundance of some habitats, such as back- waters, springbrooks, pools, and ponds, changed very little. We also examined habitat transition patterns through- out the flood pulse. Few habitat transitions occurred in the main channel, which was dominated by riffle and run habitat. In contrast, in the near-channel, scoured habitats of the floodplain were dominated by cobble bars at low flows but transitioned to isolated flood channels at moderate discharge.

  • Determining Flow Directions in River Channel Networks Using Planform Morphology and Topology
    Earth Surf. Dynam. Discuss., https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-2019-19 Manuscript under review for journal Earth Surf. Dynam. Discussion started: 23 May 2019 c Author(s) 2019. CC BY 4.0 License. Determining flow directions in river channel networks using planform morphology and topology Jon Schwenk1*, Anastasia Piliouras1, Joel C. Rowland1 5 1Los Alamos National Laboratory, Earth and Environmental Sciences Division Correspondence to: Jon Schwenk ([email protected]) Abstract. The abundance of global, remotely-sensed surface water observations has paved the way toward characterizing and modeling how water moves across the Earth’s surface through complex channel networks. In 10 particular, deltas and braided river channel networks may contain thousands of links that route water, sediment, and nutrients across landscapes. In order to model flows through channel networks and characterize network structure, the direction of flow for each link within the network must be known. In this work, we propose a rapid, automatic, and objective method to identify flow directions for all links of a channel network using only remotely-sensed imagery and knowledge of the network’s inlet and outlet locations. We designed a suite of direction-predicting 15 algorithms (DPAs), each of which exploits a particular morphologic characteristic of the channel network to provide a prediction of a link’s flow direction. DPAs were chained together to create “recipes”, or algorithms that set all the flow directions of a channel network. Separate recipes were built for deltas and braided rivers and applied to seven delta and two braided river channel networks. Across all nine channel networks, the recipes’ predicted flow directions agreed with expert judgement for 97% of all tested links, and most disagreements were attributed to 20 unusual channel network topologies that can easily be accounted for by pre-seeding critical links with known flow directions.

  • INSTITUTIONALISING the PICTURESQUE: the Discourse of the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects
    INSTITUTIONALISING THE PICTURESQUE: The discourse of the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture at Lincoln University by Jacky Bowring Lincoln University 1997 To Dorothy and Ella iii Abstract of a thesis submitted in fulfIlment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture INSTITUTIONALISING THE PICTURESQUE: The discourse of the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects by Jacky Bowring Despite its origins in England two hundred years ago, the picturesque continues to influence landscape architectural practice in late twentieth-century New Zealand. The evidence for this is derived from a close reading of the published discourse of the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects, particularly the now defunct professional journal, The Landscape. Through conceptualising the picturesque as a language, a model is developed which provides a framework for recording the survey results. The way in which the picturesque persists as naturalised conventions in the discourse is expressed as four landscape myths. Through extending the metaphor of language, pidgins and creoles provide an analogy for the introduction and development of the picturesque in New Zealand. Some implications for theory, practice and education follow. Keywords picturesque, New Zealand, landscape architecture, myth, language, natural, discourse iv Preface The motivation for this thesis was the way in which the New Zealand landscape reflects the various influences that have shaped it. In the context of landscape architecture the specific focus is the designed landscape, and particularly the perpetuation of design conventions. Through my own education at Lincoln College (now Lincoln University) I became aware of how aspects of the teaching of landscape architecture were based on uncritically presented design 'truths'.

  • Braided River Management: from Assessment of River Behaviour to Improved Sustainable Development
    BR_C12.qxd 08/06/2006 16:29 Page 257 Braided river management: from assessment of river behaviour to improved sustainable development HERVÉ PIÉGAY*, GORDON GRANT†, FUTOSHI NAKAMURA‡ and NOEL TRUSTRUM§ *UMR 5600—CNRS, 18 rue Chevreul, 69362 Lyon, cedex 07, France (Email: [email protected]) †USDA Forest Service, Corvallis, USA ‡University of Hokkaido, Japan §Institute of Geological and Natural Sciences, Lower Hatt, New Zealand ABSTRACT Braided rivers change their geometry so rapidly, thereby modifying their boundaries and flood- plains, that key management questions are difficult to resolve. This paper discusses aspects of braided channel evolution, considers management issues and problems posed by this evolution, and develops these ideas using several contrasting case studies drawn from around the world. In some cases, management is designed to reduce braiding activity because of economic considerations, a desire to reduce hazards, and an absence of ecological constraints. In other parts of the world, the eco- logical benefits of braided rivers are prompting scientists and managers to develop strategies to preserve and, in some cases, to restore them. Management strategies that have been proposed for controlling braided rivers include protecting the developed floodplain by engineered structures, mining gravel from braided channels, regulat- ing sediment from contributing tributaries, and afforesting the catchment. Conversely, braiding and its attendant benefits can be promoted by removing channel vegetation, increasing coarse sediment supply, promoting bank erosion, mitigating ecological disruption, and improving planning and devel- opment. These different examples show that there is no unique solution to managing braided rivers, but that management depends on the stage of geomorphological evolution of the river, ecological dynamics and concerns, and human needs and safety.

Thus, for a comprehensive assessment, information on various scales is required. Over the past decade, remote sensing-based approaches have become increasingly popular in river science to increase the spatial scale of analysis. However, data-scarce areas have been widely ignored so far, even if most remaining free flowing rivers are located in such areas. In this study, we suggest an approach for river corridor mapping based on open access data only, in order to foster large-scale analysis of river systems in data-scarce areas. We take the more than 600 km long Naryn River in Kyrgyzstan as an example, and demonstrate the potential of the SRTM-1 elevation model and Landsat OLI imagery in the automated mapping of various riverscape parameters, like the riparian zone extent, distribution of riparian vegetation, active channel width and confinement, as well as stream power. For each parameter, a rigor validation is performed to evaluate the performance of the applied datasets. The results demonstrate that our approach to riverscape mapping is capable of providing sufficiently accurate results for reach-averaged parameters, and is thus well-suited to large-scale river corridor assessment in data-scarce regions.
