“…In such a way, Torun may become the city of the river or the city open to the river, a blue and green brand that can bring many tourists to its space and may determine them to spend more time there and enjoy the so-called "water tourism". Our opinion is in accordance with previous studies conducted by Bolt and Jerzylo in 2013 [34] and Nones in 2021 [35] who analyzed the navigation conditions of the lower Vistula water infrastructure, focusing on river ports and the inland waterway fleet. Besides these realistic and important results, in late 2018, Anton et al [19] sustained an old (but never put into practice) challenging idea for inland navigation: a connection between the Baltic and the Black Seas using a navigable route along the Vistula-Prut rivers waterway.…”

This paper aims to present the main trends of an eco-study for a possibly challenging future inland waterway transportation project. The study will prove if Torun and its Vistula stretch represent a viable and profitable spot on this inland waterway, and its outcomes will constitute a sound baseline that can be used for the project itself but also for many scientific, educational and economic purposes. The eco-multilayer research will comprise the following elements: hydrology and biology of the Torunian Vistula (TV) stretch, and water quality; a public opinion survey; the urban functions of the TV segment (social, educational, urban planning, aesthetical, recreational, cultural, utilitarian and economical). The conclusion is that the eco-research and the project will improve Torun City’s image as a Green Urban Space, in terms of respect towards the environment, a sustainable form of transport, and attractive ways of relaxation and spending leisure time by Torun’s population and visitors. The eco-study and the project will contribute to promoting the Torun region by supporting the possibility of watching beautiful landscapes (sightseeing tours) spread along the Vistula River. The project itself will have a positive impact on the Torunian economy and on the lifestyle of Torun’s citizens.

“…Op basis van deze 'punt-' en 'moment'-opnames is het lastig om variatie in ruimte en tijd in kaart te brengen en verandering in morfologische processen te begrijpen (Belletti et al, 2015;Woodget et al, 2017';Boothroyd et al, 2021). Op grotere ruimtelijke en temporele schaal wordt er bijvoorbeeld geen inzicht verkregen in processen als erosie en sedimentatie, die veranderingen in tracévorm en -dimensies kunnen veroorzaken (Nones, 2021). Op kleinere ruimtelijke en temporele schaal geven deze metingen geen inzicht in de dynamiek in substraatpatronen, een belangrijk sturend proces voor veel aquatische organismen (Verdonschot et al, 1995).…”

“…Remote sensing can help in addressing fluvial-hydromorphological challenges and monitoring vegetation changes at the reach scale (Nones, 2020), suggesting future trends based on past observations, which can be eventually modeled numerically. Emerging Earth observation platforms will continue to make remote sensing data even more accessible to non-technical users, particularly when capturing vegetation dynamics (e.g., CQuest.Earth).…”

With the increasing availability of big geospatial data (e.g., multi-spectral satellite imagery) and access to platforms that support multi-temporal analyses (e.g., cloud-based computing, Geographical Information Systems, GIS), the use of remotely sensed information for monitoring riverine hydro-morpho-biodynamics is growing. Opportunities to map, quantify and detect changes in the wider riverscape (i.e., water, sediment and vegetation) at an unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution can support flood risk and river management applications. Focusing on a reach of the Po River (Italy), satellite imagery from Landsat 5, 7, and 8 for the period 1988–2018 were analyzed in Google Earth Engine (GEE) to investigate changes in river planform morphology and vegetation dynamics associated with transient hydrology. An improved understanding of these correlations can help in managing sediment transport and riparian vegetation to reduce flood risk, where biogeomorphic processes are commonly overlooked in flood risk mapping. In the study, two established indices were analyzed: the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) for monitoring changes in the wetted river planform morphology, inferring information about sediment dynamics, and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for evaluating changes in vegetation coverage. Results suggest that planform changes are highly localized with most parts of the reach remaining stable. Using the wetted channel occurrence as a measure of planform stability, almost two-thirds of the wetted channel extent (total area = 86.4 km2) had an occurrence frequency >90% (indicating stability). A loss of planform complexity coincided with the position of former secondary channels, or zones where the active river channel had narrowed. Time series analysis of vegetation dynamics showed that NDVI maxima were recorded in May/June and coincided with the first peak in the hydrological regime (occurring in late spring and associated with snowmelt). Seasonal variation in vegetation coverage is potentially important for local hydrodynamics, influencing flood risk. We suggest that remotely sensed information can provide river scientists with new insights to support the management of highly anthropized watercourses.
