• Sediment source areas and the role of floods in sediment mixing on the Letaba River, South Africa (2024) · South African Geographical Journal · cited 1× · doi

  The morphodynamics of rivers in semiarid environments tend to be controlled by episodic flood events, but the precise nature of sedimentary processes and sediment source areas within catchments affected by episodic floods remains not well understood.

• Vliv říčního dřeva na morfologické a sedimentologické parametry koryta na příkladu meandrujícího toku Odry (2019) · Geologické výzkumy na Moravě a ve Slezsku · doi

  However, the majority of these relatios between instream wood and fluvial ecosystems were investigated in mountain streams or gravel-bed rivers and we are lacking field data from lowland meandering rivers.

• Riparian vegetation and geomorphological interactions in anabranching rivers: A global review (2021) · Ecohydrology · cited 45× · doi

  Vegetation, flow regime and sediment retention are critical components for the formation, evolution and stability of these rivers; however, the connections relating river dynamics with riparian vegetation development and distribution are still not well known.

• Model for the Formation of Single‐Thread Rivers in Barren Landscapes and Implications for Pre‐Silurian and Martian Fluvial Deposits (2019) · Journal of Geophysical Research Earth Surface · cited 58× · doi

  Here we seek to understand the formation of those rarely recognized and poorly characterized single‐thread rivers in unvegetated landscapes.

• Experimental Observations of Floodplain Vegetation, Bedforms, and Sediment Transport Interactions in a Meandering Channel (2023) · Journal of Geophysical Research Earth Surface · cited 16× · doi

  However, the extent to which floodplain vegetation influences channel‐altering hydrodynamic forces and thus bedform topography and sediment transport is poorly understood.
