Resilience and Riverine Landscapes presents contributed chapters from global experts in Riverine Landscapes, making it the most comprehensive reference available on the topic. The book explores why rivers are ideal landscapes to study resilience and why studying rivers from a resilience perspective is important for our biophysical understanding of these landscapes and for society. The book focuses on the biophysical character of resilience in riverine landscapes, providing an interdisciplinary perspective of the structure, function, and interactions of riverine landscapes and the ecosystems they contain. The editors conclude by proposing a research agenda for the future, emphasizing the need for transdisciplinary research across a range of spatial and temporal scales and research domains.
- Presents the resilience of rivers with both a theoretical and applied focus
- Includes case studies from a wide geographical base, allowing for a full range of viewpoints
- Showcases how resilience is being incorporated into the study and management of riverine landscapes

Martin Thoms
Martin Thoms is Professor of River Science and Chair of Geography and Planning at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia. His research activities focus on the boundaries of river science – boundaries between different disciplines (geomorphology-hydrology-ecology-biogeochemistry), the science-management-policy boundary and the boundaries between rivers and their floodplains. His research in this domain has occurred in both national and international settings. He is currently Regional Editor for River Research and Applications, on the editorial board of four other international journals and has been President of the International Society for River Science.

Ian Fuller
Ian Fuller is currently Professor in Physical Geography at Massey University in Palmerston North, New Zealand, where he co-directs the Innovative River Solutions group and where he has been based since 2003. His research in fluvial geomorphology provides an integrated understanding of river systems at multiple spatial and temporal scales. He has completed numerous projects for stakeholders in river management and worked in catchments throughout New Zealand, as well as the UK and Europe. Prior to arriving in New Zealand, Ian completed his PhD at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth in 1996, which was followed by a lectureship in Physical Geography at Northumbria University. He is passionate about educating students in NZ’s rivers and linking geomorphology with river management, and serves on the Executive Committee of Engineering New Zealand’s Rivers Group.
