NSFC Grant for Excellent Young Scientists Overseas

Dr Yifan Yang - Principal Investigator

Duration: 2024-2027

</aside>

Highlights:

• Bridging the gap between cross-scale riverbed scour mechanisms
• Structure-indcued local scour may trigger erosion at larger scales, and vice versa
• Combining MEMS sensors, numerical modelling, and UAV survey for holistic investigation
• The braided reach of the Lower Yellow River as a particularly location of interest
