To gain insight into the sediment transport onto a mid-channel bar in an estuary, we measured current velocities on and along the tidal flat during six months. Our analysis shows that intertidal currents have a more pronounced three-dimensional pattern than those on shore-connected tidal flats. This has consequences for sediment transport and morphodynamics. Existing models for tidal flats underestimate flow velocities and sediment dynamics on mid-channel bars.

This study explore the impact of landslides on Alpine terrain using a landscape evolution model called Hyland, which enables long-term topographical analysis. Our finding reveal that landslides are concentrated at two specific elevations over time and predominantly affect the highest and steepest slopes, particularly along ridges and crests. This study is part of a broader question concerning the origin of accelerated erosion during the Quaternary period.

Soil strength is influenced by wetness conditions, affecting slope stability, agricultural productivity, etc. Monitoring soil moisture is essential for risk management. We used Distributed Acoustic Sensing to monitor the deformation of a grass-covered slope over two summer months. We observed both long-term drying and daily "breathing" cycles: nighttime swelling and daytime shrinkage. By integrating strain and soil moisture data, we provide new field-scale insights into soil strength evolution.
