Riverbed erosion was exacerbated by tectonic uplift that had produced a thin top gravel layer above fine-grained sediment. Greatly enhanced flow velocities produced underwater dunes with troughs that broke through the gravel armour in the bottlenecks, exposing easily erodible sands, resulting in extreme scour holes, one more than 15 m deep. Our investigation highlights the challenges of re-engineering rivers in the face of climate change, increased flood risks and competition for river widening space, and calls for a better understanding of the subsurface.</span>","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Extreme river flood exposes latent erosion risk","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-21 01:33:39.679487","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2025-10-23","DateCreate":"2025-10-23","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":0,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1038/s41586-025-09305-3"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":435568,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"391-397","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"644","Issue":"8076","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43431,"SerRR":"Nature: International Weekly Journal of Science.
