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 …

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 …

Alteration to the sediment supply of fluvial channels is well understood to trigger
morphological adjustment, but the particularities and peculiarities that arise in any specific …

To properly predict alluvial channel width using rational regime models, an analysis of bank
stability must be included in the model. When bank stability is not considered, optimizations …

The morphology of an alluvial river channel affects the movement of water and sediment
along it, but in the longer run is shaped by those processes. This interplay has mostly been …

The cross‐sectional shape of a natural river channel controls the capacity of the system to
carry water off a landscape, to convey sediment derived from hillslopes, and to erode its bed …

Geomorphologists often rely on simple models of river channel incision for predicting rates
of landscape evolution and channel response to perturbations, as well as extracting climatic …

The classical equations of hydraulic geometry are purely empirical, but the widespread
similarity of the scaling (downstream) form of them suggests that they express some …

Reduced-complexity models have considerable potential as tools for elucidating river
behaviour over periods of 100–104 years and, consequently, for addressing fundamental …

River morphology and morphodynamics are subject to governing conditions that include the
volume and timing of water flows, the volume and calibre of sediment introduced into the …
