Embanked floodplains in the Netherlands - Geomorphological evolution over various time scales
This research analyzes the sedimentation rates and pollution history of embanked floodplains in the Netherlands, with a focus on the river Rhine. It examines various factors affecting sediment accumulation and assesses the impact of historical and current anthropogenic activities on the geomorphological development and ecological health of these floodplains. The paper provides data-driven insights on sediment transport, heavy metal deposition, and implications of climate change on floodplain sedimentation, contributing to better land use management and environmental policy.
