Response of bed surface patchiness to reductions in sediment supply

PA Nelson, JG Venditti, WE Dietrich… - Journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
River beds are often arranged into patches of similar grain size and sorting. Patches can be
distinguished into “free patches,” which are zones of sorted material that move freely, such …

Sediment supply, grain protrusion, and bedload transport in mountain streams

EM Yager, JM Turowski, D Rickenmann… - Geophysical …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Steep streams occupy a large fraction of mountainous drainage basins and partially control
the sediment supplied to downstream rivers. In these channels, sediment transport …

Prediction of sediment transport in step‐pool channels

EM Yager, WE Dietrich, JW Kirchner… - Water Resources …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
In mountainous drainage networks, sediment mobilized on hillslopes must first pass through
steep streams before reaching lower‐gradient channels. The bed of steep channels is …

High rates of sediment transport by flashfloods in the Southern Judean Desert, Israel

H Cohen, JB Laronne - Hydrological Processes: An …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library

River channel slope, flow resistance, and gravel entrainment thresholds

RI Ferguson - Water Resources Research, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
River beds are traditionally assumed to become mobile at a fixed value of nondimensional
shear stress, but several flume and field studies have found that the critical value is higher in …

Linking the spatial distribution of bed load transport to morphological change during high‐flow events in a shallow braided river

RD Williams, CD Rennie, J Brasington… - Journal of …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
