Every year flood events lead to thousands of casualties and significant economic damage.
Map** the areas at risk of flooding is critical to reducing these losses, yet until the last few …

An important discussion has recently called the attention of sedimentologists and
geomorphologists to the dominant fluvial styles preserved in the geological record. While …

Prepared by the ASCE Task Committee to Expand and Update Manual 54 of the
Sedimentation Committee of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE …

Numerical computation methods are used more and more as tools for solving hydraulic and
environmental engineering problems, and as turbulence mostly plays an important role in …

River bifurcations are critical but poorly understood elements of many geomorphological
systems. They are integral elements of alluvial fans, braided rivers, fluvial lowland plains …

Accurate characterisation of morphology is critical to many studies in the field of
geomorphology, particularly those dealing with changes over time. Digital elevation models …

Rivers self-organize their pattern/planform through feedbacks between bars, channels,
floodplain and vegetation, which emerge as a result of the basic spatial sorting process of …

At river bifurcations, water and sediment are divided over two branches. The dynamics of the
bifurcation determine the long‐term evolution (centuries) of the downstream branches …

River confluences are complex hydrodynamic environments where convergence of
incoming flows produces complicated patterns of fluid motion, including the development of …

The bed topography and associated flow field are investigated in a laboratory configuration
with parameters that are representative for sharp natural meander bends. Zones of inward …
