Clues from the ice age can help us restore streams 🐟🪨🌊 Press release from our work identifying reference states and fluvial processes in semi-alluvial rivers in northern Sweden Lina Polvi Sjöberg Umeå University Formas, ett forskningsråd för hållbar utveckling. #boulders umu.se/en/news/clues-…

Closest I’ve got to an Oregon-like Stage 0! Low cost putting water back into disconnected natural floodplain. No digger grading just ID a detachment point, dam up the start of perched channel & set water free. Thanks Dorset Peat Partnership & RSK Hab Man for making my vision real

Small boulder the size of a big boulder got us thinking.... How big is a boulder? 🪨 (and perhaps more importantly - why it matters and isn't just semantics!) Lina Polvi Sjöberg and I have a new paper out now in ESP&L: > tinyurl.com/how-big-boulder BSG Geomorphology #teamboulder

This was clearly important to people...so we wrote a paper! > tinyurl.com/how-big-boulder #TeamBoulder #definitely_a_landform

A quick 1-ish min guide to a simple Stage 0 (with pictures!). Done in a morning, 75m reconnected, cost-a bit of time. Unloved headwater wooded valley bottoms with single (incised) channels are big opportunity for quick wins; areas that can't be farmed. Lots in urban settings too.

#InsectWeek2024 ‘Underwater Architects’ Cased caddis Cased caddis are known as the ‘underwater architects’ of freshwater as they use silk and various materials such as small stones around them to build a protective portable case which can result in beautiful patterns.

The Vindelälven catchment is one of the largest protected areas in Europe, but highly modified for timber floating We've been studying spawning gravels, combining drones and field surveys to inform a more sustainable restoration/ gravel augmentation strategy. Umeå University

Wahoo!! Honoured and excited to be trusted by this special group of people and a Society that is so important to so many of us with a landform thing. With a big thank you to Heather Viles for her outstanding presidency, I’ll do my best to fill those shoes.

Fantastic BSG Geomorphology conference Loughborough University & amazing work Edwin Baynes & team! Really enjoyed presenting our work on both boulder bed rivers in Sweden and restoration of UK river-floodplain connectivity

‘The ecological equivalent of a complete reboot.’ Justin Rowlatt on BBC Radio 4 Today earlier, on National Trust project to rewiggle a river. Scientists say it’s resulted in ‘an explosion of life.’ We’ll need a lot more wiggle in our rivers for an ecological recovery.

Do you work on any aspect of riverscape restoration—from a geomorphic, ecological or hydrologic perspective? Consider submitting an abstract to our European Geosciences Union session! >>>meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/…

'Rebalancing' lateral connectivity is key to river management! I'm excited about our new paper in which we review lateral connectivity between riverscapes and landscapes across disciplines. We hope its useful to both river managers and academics. Link: shorturl.at/ri3lA
