Murky or cloudy river?
That’s turbidity — a measure of how many tiny particles (like silt, clay, algae, or organic matter) are suspended in the water.
High turbidity isn’t just about looks — it can harm the whole river ecosystem

Why Are Different Sediment Sizes in Rivers So Important? 🪨
From tiny clay particles to chunky cobbles, rivers carry a mix of sediment sizes, and that’s a very good thing!
Diverse sediment = a healthy river!

Research slide titled 'MY RESEARCH' showing two key visuals: A diagram of Intensively Managed Landscapes (IMLs) from Kumar et al., 2018 illustrating land use, climate change, and ecological impacts, and a map of the Upper Sangamon River Basin in Central Illinois showing upstream and downstream gaging stations. Text explains research on sediment dynamics in IMLs and between different stream locations.
Slide titled 'Watershed Scale' featuring photos of water sampling equipment. Main image shows an automated pump sampler mounted on a bridge with a pump intake extending into the river. Inset shows the sampler device itself, and below is a row of numbered water sample bottles containing sediment samples of varying turbidity
Slide titled 'Reach Scale' showing a winter/early spring floodplain photo with labeled equipment: sediment trap, tilt current meter, stage recorder, and floodplain siphon sampler. Text describes research exploring sediment dynamics across different geomorphic environments in the floodplain during flood events.
Exploring rivers at every scale! Chelsy's research in Central Illinois examines how sediment moves through our waterways, from entire watersheds down to specific river reaches 🌊 #AGUEPSP #EPSPtakeover #RiverScience
📢 New Book Alert! Dive into Rivers of the Asian Highlands: From Deep Time to the Climate Crisis. This multidisciplinary examination of the upper Brahmaputra and Yangzi rivers systems offers a unique “braided river” approach. 🌊📚 #RiverScience. Here’s what’s in the book, chapter by chapter. 🧵1/11

And maybe the term #ecohydraulics is limiting itself...and calling it smth like #riverscience would be more inclusive? twitter.com/RadingerJ/status/1310196...
