Description of the research topic:

Comprehensive field survey of the physiographic context and channel morphology is a key to characterize hydrogeomorphic reaches of a watercourse. In this research field data are collected during seasonal campaigns following a field survey protocol. Complementary information is conducted from cartographic materials and digital elevation models to map diverse sections of local streams in low mountains. Geological, geomorphological and anthropogenic effects are considered as decisive factors in recent fluvial development, with emphasis on the sediment transport influenced by woody debris. It is also supposed that woody debris accumulations, made up of tree trunks, branches and roots have significant influence on the channel evolution of local streams. Furthermore, the expected results on the hydrogeomorphic conditions of these small watersheds with intense relief provide useful information for understanding the flash floods occurring in these regions.
