The project team has wide and long experience on monitoring and modelling physical and ecological processes in river systems. Part of the group members accounts for more than 15 years of experience in the fields of Fluvial Geomorphology and Freshwater Ecology. Additionally, three additional collaborators have been actively participating. Figure 1. Summary of the team members and collaborators.
Their research has been funded through a series of continuous competitive
peer-reviewed projects at national and international levels. The group
carries out systematic fieldwork by means of advanced monitoring
techniques, including last-generation terrestrial laser scanning
systems, acoustic Doppler profiling, particle radiofrequency tracking
systems and high-rank turdidimeters between others; altogether with the
objective of assessing fluvial sediment budgets, sediment transport,
channel morphodynamics and habitat conditions (e.g. Vericat and Batalla,
2010; López and Barragán, 2008; Brasington, 2010; López-Tarazón et al.,
2011; Tena et al., 2011; Malcom et al., 2012). The group also
undertakes field experiments to assess interactions between flow, bed
structure, sediment entrainment, and macroinvertebrate communities (e.g.
Vericat et al., 2008; Gibbins et al., 2010). In addition, the
application of the aforementioned advanced monitoring techniques is
allowing synergising earth observation and numerical modelling in an
unprecedented detail, providing a better understanding of the
interactions between fluvial morphodynamics, bed sedimentology, sediment
transport, and channel hydraulics in highly dynamics fluvial systems
(e.g. Williams et al., 2011). Finally, some group members have direct
experience on assessing the effects of gravel-mining and other human
impacts in physical and ecological processes and dynamics gravel-bed
rivers (e.g. Merz et al., 2006; Batalla and Vericat, 2009). In the following section you can get the specific details of all members and collaborators.
