    Abstract Meandering planforms are common on rivers but active, rapidly changing meandering channels are particularly instructive in indicating meander processes and dynamics and can extend our understanding of fluvial behaviour more generally. Questions arise in relation to the relative effects of flow events, phases and sequences of conditions, on the extent of autogenesis in changes, and the spatial propagation of change. In this review, the direct field and real-world evidence of the morphodynamics is examined through a hierarchy of spatial and temporal scales. Within bends, the channel interaction with bars is a major component of the morphodynamics. High variability in rates and patterns between events and years is evident, but a systematic sequence of mid-channel bar development emerges. Relations to discharge parameters are complex. At bend scale, clear autogenic sequences of bend evolution from simple loops to compound forms then cut-offs are apparent, in spite of short timescale episodicity and variability, and modulation by bank inhomogeneities. Two major morphodynamic issues are discussed, that of migration rate-curvature relations and of push-pull of bends. Cut-offs are important in active bend morphodynamics and an immediate phase of widening and multiple bars within the cut-off zone commonly occurs but then the channel stabilises. Conditions for clustering of cut-offs are discussed. Analysis at reach scale of multiple bends tends to produce much more systematic morphodynamics relations but may be obscuring the spatial and temporal variability. Evidence is equivocal on the extent and rates of spatial propagation of changes, some indicating change tends to be localised but other showing systematic interaction between bends. Much adjustment is by local feedbacks. The high rates and variability of the morphodynamics of active meandering rivers have implications and challenges for management. A strategy of allowing for the mobility is advocated. That requires understanding of the morphodynamics.

    Abstract Much geomorphological research has potential to be applied but this paper examines the extent and nature of actual applications to environmental management. It reviews how this work has expanded and changed and reflects on the stimuli, types of involvement, and attitudes. These aspects, and how geomorphology can be applied effectively, are exemplified by developments in coastal and river management in the UK, highlighting the contributions made by geomorphology to sustainable strategies. Applied geomorphology has been recognised as a topic and component within geomorphology throughout the last 50 yr, contributing about 10% of published research papers in the subject. Major increase in direct involvement with environmental policy and practice came in the 1980s and 1990s but it has been followed by enormous expansion since then, including employment of professional geomorphologists in all stages and scales of projects, from provision of specific solutions, to design and initiation of projects, through to national policy development. Major stimuli to this increase in application encompassed the evident failure and detrimental effects of earlier approaches using hard engineering, changes in environmental awareness and attitudes of the public, and increased threat of climate change and incidence of major storms and natural disasters. These led to developments in approaches that ‘work with nature’, implementation of demonstration projects in river restoration, managed coastal retreat and now Natural Flood Management, and the explicit need for geomorphological assessment of water bodies following EU legislation. These have contributed to produce the present situation where applied geomorphology is ‘booming’, with high demand for geomorphologists. Evidence is provided that geomorphologists have contributed significantly to this change in thinking and are now very actively involved in developing and applying means of using their understanding and skills to implement more sustainable management, to the benefit of the environment and society.

    Abstract Abstract A flash flood on 28th September, 2012, rose to a peak discharge of 2357 m3 s−1 from zero within one hour in the ephemeral Nogalte channel in SE Spain. Channel morphology and sediment sizes were measured at existing monitored sites before and after the flood and peak flow hydraulics calculated from surveyed floodmarks and cross-sections. Maximum peak sediment fluxes were calculated as ~600 kg s−1 m−1, exceeding maximum published, measured dryland channel values by 10 times and common perennial stream fluxes by 100 times. These high fluxes fit the established simple bedload flux - shear stress relations for dryland channels very well, but now extended over a much wider data range. The high sediment fluxes are corroborated by deposits at >1 m height in a channel-side tank, with 90 mm diameter sediment carried in suspension, by transport of large blocks and by massive net aggradation as extensive, structureless channel bars. Very high sediment supply and rapid hydrograph rise and recession produced the conditions for these exceptional sediment dynamics. The results demonstrate the extreme sediment loads that may occur in dryland flash floods and have major implications for catchment and channel management.

    Abstract Background: The objective of this study was to determine whether reconstruction of the proximal pole of the scaphoid with a proximal hamate graft restores native carpal kinematics.
    Methods: A cadaveric study was designed assessing wrist kinematic after proximal hamate graft for proximal pole of the scaphoid nonunion. Wireless sensors were mounted to the carpus using a custom pin and suture anchor system to 8 cadavers. A wrist simulator was used to move the wrist through a cyclical motion about the flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviation axes. Each specimen was tested under a series of 3 conditions: (1) a native state, "Intact"; (2) fractured scaphoid proximal pole, "Fracture"; and (3) post-reconstruction of the proximal pole of the scaphoid using a proximal hamate graft, "Graft."
    Results: The fracture condition resulted in a statistically significant change in scapholunate kinematics across the entire arc of motion relative to the intact condition. Reconstruction with proximal hamate grafts restored scapholunate kinematics close to the intact state in both flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviation axes. The lunocapitate flexion during wrist flexion was significantly different after the hamate graft reconstruction.
    Conclusions: Proximal hamate to scaphoid transfer resulted in restoration of near normal carpal kinematics to the intact state.

    Abstract Fatty liver is characterized by the expansion of lipid droplets (LDs) and is associated with the development of many metabolic diseases. We assessed the morphology of hepatic LDs and performed quantitative proteomics in lean, glucose-tolerant mice compared to high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice that displayed hepatic steatosis and glucose intolerance as well as high-starch diet (HStD) fed mice who exhibited similar levels of hepatic steatosis but remained glucose tolerant. Both HFD and HStD-fed mice had more and larger LDs than Chow-fed animals. We observed striking differences in liver LD proteomes of HFD and HStD-fed mice compared to Chow-fed mice, with fewer differences between HFD and HStD. Taking advantage of our diet strategy, we identified a fatty liver LD proteome consisting of proteins common in HFD- and HStD-fed mice, as well as a proteome associated with glucose tolerance that included proteins shared in Chow and HStD but not HFD-fed mice. Notably, glucose intolerance was associated with changes in the ratio of adipose triglyceride lipase to perilipin 5 in the LD proteome, suggesting dysregulation of neutral lipid homeostasis in glucose-intolerant fatty liver. We conclude that our novel dietary approach uncouples ectopic lipid burden from insulin resistance-associated changes in the hepatic lipid droplet proteome.
