Geomorphology is currently in a period of resurgence as we seek to explain the diversity,
origins and dynamics of terrain on the Earth and other planets in an era of increased …

There is a long history of human–riverine interactions throughout the period of agriculture
that in some regions of the world started several thousand years ago. These interactions …

Connectivity describes the efficiency of material transfer between geomorphic system
components such as hillslopes and rivers or longitudinal segments within a river network …

Abstract Changes in land use can affect local geomorphology and sediment dynamics.
However, these impacts could conceivably lead to changes in geomorphological processes …

Sediment plays a pivotal role in determining the physical, chemical and biological integrity of
aquatic ecosystems. A range of factors influences the impacts of sediment pressures on …

The following is a white paper (adapted here for print) for the US National Research
Council's committee on Challenges and Opportunities in Earth Surface Processes, drafted at …

In recent decades views of change, disturbance, response, and recovery in geomorphology
have expanded considerably. Conceptual frameworks emphasizing single-path, single …

Alluvial fans and debris cones link two zones of the fluvial system (eg hillslope gully systems
to stream channels; mountain catchment sediment source areas to main river systems or to …

Processes and scales of channel change over human time scales are reviewed. An
extensive body of literature exists for predicting channel change, but is largely limited to …

Numerical morphological modelling of braided rivers is increasingly used to explore controls
on river pattern and for applied environmental management. This article reviews and …
