The Palaeozoic evolution of land plants revolutionized river geomorphology. However, the
relationships between biotic forcing and channel dynamics are still debated and, as such …

Tidal rivers are a vital and little studied nexus between physical oceanography and
hydrology. It is only in the last few decades that substantial research efforts have been …

Stabilization of riverbanks by vegetation has long been considered necessary to sustain
single-thread meandering rivers. However, observation of active meandering in modern …

In an earlier book, The Geology of Fluvial Deposits (1996), I set out in detail modern
methods of facies and architectural analysis of fluvial deposits, and used numerous case …

A series of laboratory experiments demonstrates that riparian vegetation can cause a
braided channel to self‐organize to, and maintain, a dynamic, single‐thread channel. The …

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

Meandering rivers are diagnostic landforms of hydrologically active planets, and their
migration regulates the continental component of biogeochemical cycles that stabilize …

One of the simplest questions in riverine science remains unanswered:“What determines the
width of rivers?” While myriad environmental and geological factors have been proposed to …

The morphologies of the world's deltas are thought to be determined by river discharge, tidal
range and wave action. More recently, sea-level rise, and human engineering have been …

Internally generated, or autogenic, terrestrial and marine sediment-transport dynamics can
produce depositional patterns similar to those associated with climatic, tectonic, or sea level …
