Short summary
This study shows that climate-driven changes in spring flood patterns, especially hydrograph shape and peak sequencing, strongly affect sediment transport and river morphology in a subarctic river. Rising temperatures and more rain-on-snow events are increasing flood variability, leading to more event-driven and unpredictable sediment dynamics. Adaptive management is needed to respond to these emerging changes.
