Eli Lintell (Griffith University) developed a method to quantify boat wake waves in rivers and to consider if they are the leading cause of riverine bank erosion. He used new in-situ water level gauge measurements, with the high frequency (8hz) measurements able to capture information on the magnitude of short-crests boat wakes. This was used to understand boat wake wave impacts, the potential for undercutting and eventual bank collapse.
