We provide information on biomass applications and type of contractual arrangements for using residual riverine biomass as ecosystem service.

Residual Biomass: A Silver Bullet to Ensure a Sustainable Bioeconomy?

A. E. Bout, S. F. Pfau, E. van der Krabben & B. Dankbaar - 20/12/2018 - RiverCare

Using residual biomass, such as grass and wood chips, as a resource instead of treating it as waste is not automatically more sustainable.

Uncertainty quantification of flood mitigation predictions and implications for decision making

Berends, K. D., Straatsma, M. W., Warmink, J. J., & Hulscher, S. J. M. H. - 14/11/2018 - RiverCare

For six typical interventions along the river Waal, we show that the choice between interventions can be different when relative uncertainty is taken into account.

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!
