From Particles to Flocs: Revealing Where Flocculation Occurs in the Nearfield of a Negatively‐Buoyant River Plume in a Large Lake (Lake Geneva) Open
The dynamics of sediments entering lakes in river plumes is virtually unknown. This field study provides unprecedented evidence of the initiation and evolution of suspended sediment flocculation in the nearfield of the negatively‐buoyant R…

Near-bottom sediment transport during flood events on a small mountainous river Open
Small mountainous rivers provide an important part of the sedimentary inputs to the oceans. The particularity of theses rivers comes from the fact that their inputs take place mostly during brief and intense flood events. While the quantif…

Phenology and environmental drivers of glass eel entrance in a Mediterranean lagoon Open
The European eel, Anguilla anguilla, is an emblematic facultative catadromous species that spawns in the Sargasso Sea and grow in continental waters of Europe and North Africa. In most of its growing habitats its population has dropped sin…

Assessing the Role of Extreme Mediterranean Events on Coastal River Outlet Dynamics Open
River mouths are highly dynamic environments responding very rapidly to changes in wave energy or river floods. While the morphological response during floods or during marine storm events has been widely documented in the literature, litt…

Movements of Non-Migrant European Eels in an Urbanised Channel Linking a Mediterranean Lagoon to the Sea Open
Transitional ecosystems and, particularly, Mediterranean lagoons represent important habitats for the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) population. In these habitats many anthropogenic pressures can disturb eel movements and, in turn, negat…
