The city houses the John Wesley Powell River History Museum (1990), which honours the 19th-century explorer.
We reconstruct the Holocene river history of the Erhjen River (area: 140 km2) by correlating river terraces aided by 28 radiocarbon dates.
These have enabled development of new applications in river management, landscape restoration, hazard studies, river history and geoarchaeology.
An overview of the river history, environmental problems, constraints for the restoration, morphodynamical design, technical studies in a physical model, sediment transport and social aspects are presented.
To understand the river history and help assess the risk to the project, the fluvial/debris-flow sequences exposed along the 5 km-long river reach upstream of the buried tunnel entrance were examined, and a total of 38 radiocarbon dates were obtained for chronological constraints.

In my classes, I emphasize understanding of physical and ecological process and river history as a basis for restoration strategy and management of riverine lands, the need to learn from management interventions, and the role of science in addressing land-use and resource management challenges.
Only few data are available concerning rivers' histories, which are often traced using phylogeographical patterns [ 25].
Sometimes they can't be exactly the same size up and down the country as rivers, history, mountain ranges, county rivalry, motorways and so on get in the way.
The bridge, whose arch rotates to allow ships through, is part of the erstwhile rivals' joint plan to win the title of European Capital of Culture in 2008.That the bridge is there at all is remarkable, given the cross-river history of bitterness.
