Assessing sediment connectivity and the beneficial use of dredged material as a nature-based solution in the Mallorquín coastal wetland

This study evaluates the hydro-sedimentological dynamics of the Mallorquín Wetland, a coastal wetland in northern Colombia affected by erosion, hydraulic disconnection, and shoreline instability. The aim was to assess sediment connectivity between the Magdalena River mouth and th...

On the need to account for soil erosion rates in water quality indices for tropical Rivers: Insights from Cesar River, Colombia

A large body of research suggests that soil erosion in developing countries is reaching critical rates and that its offsite effects (e.g., increased sediment concentration in water bodies) could be amplified by global warming. In most cases, Water Quality Indices (WQI) do not dif...
