River engineering is coming under increasing public scrutiny given failures to prevent flood
hazards and economic and environmental concerns. This paper reviews the contribution …

Newson and Sear (1998) define fluvial geomorphology as the science that seeks to
investigate the complexity of behaviour of river channels at a range of scales from …

This book provides an overview of fluvial geomorphology and river mechanisms to enable
the recognition of environmental constraints on engineering designs, and to provide insights …

This paper reviews some of the challenges and objectives in the application of fluvial
geomorphology to improved river management in the UK It describes the mechanisms by …

Fluvial geomorphology has been the largest single subdiscipline within geomorphology for
many decades. Fluvial geomorphic expertise is integral to understanding and managing …

Rivers are significant geomorphological agents, they show an amazing diversity of form and
behaviour and transfer water and sediment from the land surface to the oceans. This book …
