Amplification of downstream flood stage due to damming of fine-grained rivers
River dams provide many benefits, including flood control. However, due to constantly
evolving channel morphology, downstream conveyance of floodwaters following dam …

Dunes in the world's big rivers are characterized by low-angle lee-side slopes and a complex shape
Dunes form critical agents of bedload transport in all of the world's big rivers, and constitute
appreciable sources of bed roughness and flow resistance. Dunes also generate …

Bedload transport: beyond intractability
B Gomez, PJ Soar - Royal Society Open Science, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Scrutiny of multifarious field and laboratory data amassed over nine decades reveals four
distinct bedload transport regimes and demonstrates the search for a universal formula is a …

River dune dynamics during low flows
River dunes are wavelike features in sandy riverbeds that move slowly in a downstream
direction. These bedforms are shaped by the interaction between flowing water and sand …

Quantification and classification of a giant fluvial-distributive system-the Triassic Mungaroo Formation, NWS, Australia
When producing reservoirs in fluvial deposits, it is notoriously difficult to define pore volumes
connected to completed well intervals from sparse subsurface data. It is equally difficult to …

The effect of sediment transport models on simulating river dune dynamics
LR Lokin, JJ Warmink… - Water Resources Research, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
River dunes, dynamic bedforms in the river bed, limit navigable depths during low flows and
increase bed roughness. To predict the navigable depth or where maintenance dredging is …

Preserved fluvial cross strata record bedform disequilibrium dynamics
Fluvial cross strata are an archive of ancient river morphodynamics. Controls on their
preservation are well documented for bedforms equilibrated with prevailing flows; however …

The pace of fluvial meanders on Mars and implications for the western delta deposits of Jezero crater
Although there is little doubt that rivers once flowed on Mars' surface, how sustained and
frequent their flows were remains enigmatic. Understanding the hydrology of early Mars …

Model for the formation of single‐thread rivers in barren landscapes and implications for pre‐Silurian and Martian fluvial deposits
Flume experiments and field observations show that bank vegetation promotes the formation
of narrow and deep single‐thread channels by strengthening riverbanks. Consistent with …

Migrating subaqueous dunes capture clay flocs
Recent research highlights the abundance of floccule (flocs) in rivers, formed by aggregation
of clay particles with organic matter. These flocs affect the transport and the eventual fate of …
