Projects

Explore the different projects according to the theme or the study area.

Explore the eight RiverCare project themes (A-H). About 20 researchers contribute with their work to the fundamental understanding and innovative monitoring of four types of interventions that aim to reduce flood risk while improving the biodiversity and navigation conditions. We apply this knowledge to improve the design and maintenance of multi-functional rivers.

A) Optimizing the longitudinal training dams design

A1) Longitudinal training dams

A2) Ecology of the training dams

B) Side channels and natural banks

B1a) Side channel dynamics

B1b) Morphological evaluation of river interventions

B2) Bank erosion processes

C) Regional water systems

C1) Morphodynamics of low-energy rivers

C2) Water retention effects

D) Sediment nourishment

D1) Mixed-size sediment morphodynamics

D2) Numerical morphodynamic modelling

E) Ecosystem services and floodplain rehabilitation

E1) Floodplain vegetation patterns

E2) Floodplain ecosystem services

E3) Floodplain monitoring

F) River governance: uncertainties, participation and collaboration

F1) Estimating model uncertainty

F2) Public participation

F3) Collaborative governance in floodplain management

G) Communicating program oput: knowledge base, visualization and Virtual River

G1) Serious gaming environment

G2) Knowledge base and communication

H) Self-supporting hydrosystems and valorization

H1) Optimizing river management

H2) Riverine biomass for a bio-economy

H3) Floodplain management and valorization

H4) RiverCare export potential
