Abstract The sediment load in the Yangtze River downstream of Three Gorges Dam (TGD) has substantially declined recent decades. decrease is more profound below TGD, e.g., a 97% at Yichang, compared with that delta apex, 1200 km downstream, 75% decrease, implying along-river recovery. Two large river-connected lakes, i.e., Dongting and Poyang Lakes, may play role re-establishment river’s morphod...

Glacial Lake Missoula formed when the Purcell Trench lobe of the Cordilleran ice sheet dammed Clark Fork River in Montana during the Fraser Glaciation (marine oxygen isotope stage 2). Over a period of several thousand years, the lake repeatedly filled and drained through its ice dam, and floodwaters coursed across the landscape in eastern Washington. In this paper, we describe the stratigraphy ...

This study was carried out between November 2013 and May 2015, to determine the fish fauna inhabited in Atatürk Dam lake. The specimens were obtained by different technical fishing gears. It determined that caught belonging 25 species (Capoeta trutta, Capoeta umbla, Cyprinon macrostomus, Arabibarbus grypus, Carasobarbus luteus, Carassius carassius, gibelio, Cyprinus carpio, Garra variabilis, Lu...

BACKGROUND The Three Gorges Dam (TGD) is a remarkable, far-reaching project in China. This study was conducted to assess the impact of TGD on changes in the ecological environment, snail distribution and schistosomiasis transmission in Dongting Lake area. METHODS Hydrological data were collected from 12 monitoring sites in Hunan section of Yangtze River before and after TGD was established. D...

Landforms and well logs document a system of ice-contact proglacial lakes in the upper Susquehanna valley during Laurentide Ice Sheet retreat from Appalachian Plateau, central New York State.  Recessional moraines formed dams for all lakes, except newly revealed “Ancestral Goodyear Lake” retained behind an ephemeral ice dam stranded at Colliersville.  A pro...
