Abstract Changes in riverine suspended and riverbed sediments have environmental,
ecological and social implications. Here, we provide a holistic review of water and sediment …

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 …

Rivers and Floodplains is concerned with the origin, geometry, water flow, sediment
transport, erosion and deposition associated with modern alluvial rivers and floodplains …

David Knighton's best-selling book looks at the wide range of forms developed by natural
rivers and the processes responsible for that development. The book combines empirical …

Abrasion by bed load is a ubiquitous and sometimes dominant erosional mechanism for
fluvial incision into bedrock. Here we develop a model for bedrock abrasion by saltating bed …

Quantitative modelling of the filling of sedimentary basins was begun in earnest in the
1960s. Dozens of themes and variations have been proposed since then, and have yielded …

We examine relations for hydraulic geometry of alluvial, single‐thread gravel bed rivers with
definable bankfull geometries. Four baseline data sets determine relations for bankfull …

The Earth's sedimentary successions are an archive of past tectonic and climate events,.
The physical characteristics of the sediment record are controlled by three main factors: the …

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 …

Field studies of forest gravel‐bed rivers in northwestern Washington and southeastern
Alaska demonstrate that bed‐surface grain size is responsive to hydraulic roughness …
