The morphology of an alluvial river channel is the consequence of sediment transport and
sedimentation in the river. Morphological style is determined chiefly by the caliber and …

Over the last several decades, environmental legislation and a growing awareness of
historical human disturbance to rivers worldwide (Schumm, 1977; Collins et al., 2003; Surian …

David Knighton's best-selling book looks at the wide range of forms developed by natural
rivers and the processes responsible for that development. The book combines empirical …

Rivers and Floodplains is concerned with the origin, geometry, water flow, sediment
transport, erosion and deposition associated with modern alluvial rivers and floodplains …

Abstract Models of braided-river deposition must be detailed, fully 3D, and preferably
quantitative to be of use in understanding and predicting the nature of ancient deposits. In …

A BROAD sheet of water flowing over non-cohesive sediment typically breaks up into a
network of interconnected channels called a braided stream (Fig. 1). The dynamics of such …

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Resources Monograph
Series, Volume 14. I wrote this book in response to a need expressed by one of my Ph. D …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

We investigate the equilibrium configurations and the stability of river bifurcations in gravel
braided networks. Within the context of a one‐dimensional approach, the nodal point …

River Processes deals primarily with flow and sediment dynamics in alluvial channels. It
emphasises water flows (basic principles and characterisation), fluvial sediment, processes …
