    • Planform Changes in the Lower Mahaweli River, Sri Lanka Using Landsat Satellite Data 

      Basnayaka, Vindhya; Samarasinghe, Jayanga T.; Gunathilake, Miyuru; Muttil, Nitin; Rathnayake, Upaka (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-10-03)
      Major development projects along rivers, like reservoirs and other hydraulic structures, have changed not only river discharges but also sediment transport. Thus, changes in river planforms can be observed in such rivers. ...
    • Soil Tillage and Crop Growth Effects on Surface and Subsurface Runoff, Loss of Soil, Phosphorus and Nitrogen in a Cold Climate 

      Bechmann, Marianne; Bøe, Frederik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-01-15)
      Most studies on the effects of tillage operations documented the effects of tillage on losses through surface runoff. On flat areas, the subsurface runoff is the dominating pathway for water, soil and nutrients. This study ...
