🎉 Excited to get the dates in my diary for Gravel Bed Rivers 10 (is it really 10, I am SO old). Sept. 7-11, 2026. Scotland. www.gbr10.uk. @rebeccahodge100.bsky.social

What if you laid out all the meanders of a river along a straight line, so that you can break the river into straight-ish segments and fill arbitrary spaces? This is the Purus River in Brazil; you can see how it is getting wider and the meanders are getting larger in the downstream direction

Global RIver Topology (GRIT) is a new and improved global river network that represents bifurcations, multi-thread channels and canals. Great to see this important output from the NERC-funded EVOFLOOD project. See more here: doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Global River Topology (GRIT): A Bifurcating River Hydrography

Existing large-scale river networks only represent single-threaded gravity flow paths, rather than observed river centerlines Global RIver Topology (GRIT) was created by merging the 30 m Landsat-...

A team led by Prof Louise Slater has created the most complete #map of the world’s #rivers ever made, offering a major leap forward for flood prediction, #climate risk planning, & water resource management. Read more: www.geog.ox.ac.uk/news/grit-re...

River datasets often miss forks and branches found in highly populated floodplains and deltas. As flooding grows more severe, accurate mapping of these areas is more important than ever. eos.org/research-spo...

New Global River Map Is the First to Include River Bifurcations and Canals - Eos

GRIT provides a much more detailed look at how rivers merge and split, which could enhance hydrological modeling, flood forecasting, and water management efforts.

Big data show idiosyncratic patterns and rates of geomorphic river mobility - Nature Communications

In this study, satellite-derived locational probabilities are analysed to unravel records of river adjustment in the Philippines. The data show spatially non-uniform variability in along-valley patter...
