CENTA 2027-B25 Which floodplains are the most important? Characterising global connectivity between rivers and their flood corridors

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
When river flow is high enough to exceed the banks of its channels, it inundates the floodplain. Integrated over entire catchments, so-called river-floodplain exchange impacts a significant amount of the flow moving through river basins, carrying sediments, nutrients, and other materials. Read more
