Bed material transport and the morphology of alluvial river channels

M Church - Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci., 2006 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Threshold constraints on the size, shape and stability of alluvial rivers

CB Phillips, CC Masteller, LJ Slater… - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2022 - nature.com
The geometry of alluvial river channels both controls and adjusts to the flow of water and
sediment within them. This feedback between flow and form modulates flood risk, and the …

(Dis) Connectivity in catchment sediment cascades: a fresh look at the sediment delivery problem

K Fryirs - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The concept of the sediment delivery problem was introduced into the literature in 1983 by
Des Walling. This concept describes how only a fraction of sediment eroded within a …

Buffers, barriers and blankets: The (dis) connectivity of catchment-scale sediment cascades

KA Fryirs, GJ Brierley, NJ Preston, M Kasai - Catena, 2007 - Elsevier
Catchment configuration and the nature of connectivity within and between landscape
compartments affect the operation of sediment cascades and geomorphic responses to …

Geomorphic thresholds in riverine landscapes

M Church - Freshwater biology, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
1. Rivers are subject to thresholds of several types that define significant changes in
processes and morphology and delimit distinctive riverine landscapes and habitats …

Is the critical Shields stress for incipient sediment motion dependent on channel‐bed slope?

MP Lamb, WE Dietrich… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Data from laboratory flumes and natural streams show that the critical Shields stress for
initial sediment motion increases with channel slope, which indicates that particles of the …

The super of superradiance

MO Scully, AA Svidzinsky - Science, 2009 - science.org
In 1954, Robert Dicke introduced the concept of superradiance in describing the
cooperative, spontaneous emission of photons from a collection of atoms. The concept of …

Morphodynamics: Rivers beyond steady state

M Church, RI Ferguson - Water Resources Research, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The morphology of an alluvial river channel affects the movement of water and sediment
along it, but in the longer run is shaped by those processes. This interplay has mostly been …
