The establishment of stability in rivers is dependent on a variety of factors, and yet the
established stability can be interrupted at any moment or time. One factor that can strongly …

The morphodynamics of the lower River Vecht, the Netherlands, and theinfluence of
geomorphological setting and bank composition on meandermigration were studied by …

Floods and flash-floods are a major factor in hydrogeomorphological river dynamics. This
chapter has two main aims:(i) to analyse the characteristics of floods in Romania, based on …

Flooding and flood inundation are key hydrological characteristics of meander Loop Rivers.
However, the effects of extreme floods on river morphology and spatial patterns of erosion …

During 2008 and 2009 heavy rainfall took place around the Mazatlan County in the Sinaloa
state, Mexico, with a return period (Tr) between 50 and 100years. As a result, the region and …

Channel migration is a significant geomorphological process in the floodplain region.
Human intervention in the form of engineering constructions (bridges, embankment, etc.) …

The bank erosion area, rate of bank retreat and overall geomorphological and financial
effects of channel migration due to recent flood events (over the time span 1987–2009) are …

Occurrence and development of channel bars are major components of the
morphodynamics of rivers and their relation to river meandering has been much explored …

The Geul River has a long history of channel straightening and bank protection, but also has
several natural meandering parts. In addition, some formerly 'fixed'or 'protected'stretches of …

Drastic channel adjustments have affected the main alluvial rivers of Tuscany (central Italy)
during the 20th century. Bed‐level adjustments were identified both by comparing available …
