Understanding flooding and channel dynamics along the Taiya River: Providing context for resource management

March 1, 2026

Flooding and channel change in the Taiya River Basin in recent decades have directly affected park infrastructure and cultural resources. The complexities of flooding and channel change are compounded by the changing sediment and flow regime from a changing climate and shrinking glaciers, which will continue to drive dynamic riverine change. Streamflow data and geomorphic interpretation helped us place these events in context to inform decision making that takes dynamic natural processes into account.
