Predicting effects of ship-induced changes in flow velocity on native and alien molluscs in the littoral zone of lowland rivers

Koopman, R., Collas, F. P. L., Breure, A. M., Lenders, R., van der Velde, G., & Leuven, R. S. E. W. - 12/11/2018 - RiverCare
Shipping increases local flow velocities thereby potentially decreasing species richness of freshwater mussels and snails which in turn affects ecosystem functioning and services.

Low-hanging fruits in large-scale fluvial landscaping measures: trade-offs between flood hazard, costs, stakeholders and biodiversity

Straatsma, M. W., Fliervoet, J. M., Kabout, J. A. H., Baart, F., and Kleinhans, M. G. - 19/09/2018 - RiverCare
We show that the multidimensional evaluation of river interventions in the Waal river opens up opportunities to discuss possible trade-offs.

Late Holocene channel pattern change from laterally stable to meandering – a palaeohydrological reconstruction

Candel, J. H. J., Kleinhans, M. G., Makaske, B., Hoek, W. Z., Quik, C., & Wallinga, J. - 31/08/2018 - RiverCare
We show how the Overijsselse Vecht river changed from a laterally stable to a meandering river ca. 500 years ago and further developed a methodology to reconstruct the historical discharge.

Users’ perspectives about the potential usefulness of online storylines to communicate river research to a multi-disciplinary audience

Cortes Arevalo, V. J., Verbrugge, L. N. H., Haan, R.-J. den, Baart, F., van der Voort, M. C., & Hulscher, S. J. M. H. - 14/08/2018 - RiverCare
This was the first and exploratory step on our initiative of using storylines for science communication. Researchers and practitioners think that stories of science that include facts could be useful!

Understanding actor perspectives regarding challenges for integrated river basin management

R. J. den Haan, J. M. Fliervoet, M. C. van der Voort, V. J. Cortes Arevalo & S. J. M. H. Hulscher - 09/08/2018 - RiverCare
People use different world views when addressing problems, often resulting in different views on both the problem and its solution. For this paper, we explored management challenges and actor perspectives on these in Dutch integrated river basin management.
