Establishing the hydrological controls on water surface area variations in oxbow lakes

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: This study, for the first time, quantifies interannual WSA variations for 64 oxbow lakes in the south-west Bolivian Amazon Basin and answers three core research objectives: 1) How does the WSA of oxbow lakes vary through time? 2) What are the key mechanisms driving WSA change in oxbow lakes? 5 3) Does lake type (i.e., neck or chute) affect WSA variability? The study was focused on two highly dynamic meandering rivers in the south-west Bolivian Amazon Basin (Fig 3).
• Who: Joshua Ahmed from the Energy and Environment Institute, University of Hull . . .
