The accelerating climate change together with the global population growth put major pressure on the fresh waters worldwide. Understanding how rivers respond to environmental factors, such as flooding, climatological changes, or discharge control, and how these affect the long-term riverine changes, is essential in selecting right river and land-use management measures and in climate change adaptation. Recent technological improvements of measurement and analysis methods allow studying river systems with higher detail and extent than has been earlier possible. In AnthroCLiMocs we combine 3D field observations, air-borne data and computational modelling in various spatial and temporal scales to provide new understanding on how climatological and anthropogenic factors affect the meandering river processes and channel changes. The results of this study will enable fostering of more sustainable and nature-based river- and land use management for meandering river basins.
