they affect local and regional flood risk. This PhD project will explore how riverbeds in large tropical systems respond to the pressures of sand mining, and whether disturbed beds recover once mining stops

evolve under and after mining. These observations will be complemented by physical experiments in the Ven Te Chow Hydrosystems Laboratory at UIUC, using 3D-printed riverbed models derived from field data
