摘要:

Disruption to a river’s natural flow variability, land use changes, and management infrastructure have physically destroyed floodplain habitat or reduced the dynamic hydrologic conditions necessary for floodplain health. The dynamic interactions between river flow and topography, both within a main channel and floodplain, are important for a variety of ecological processes. This talk will focus on methods to evaluate the impacts of hydrologic alterations on floodplain dynamics and connectivity. Changes in floodplain inundation dynamics and interface dynamics will be discussed for two hydrologic scenarios on two distinct rivers – the Gila River and the Rio Grande, both in New Mexico, USA.The results improved understanding of inundation patterns and water flux between the channel and floodplain under baseline and altered hydrologic scenarios.
