The major goal of this book is to bring together evidence of active deformation on alluvial
rivers, with emphasis on geomorphological adjustment. The authors have grouped their …

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 …

Quantitative evaluation of fluvial response to allogenic controls is crucial for further progress
in understanding the stratigraphic record in terms of processes that control landscape …

Large fluvial systems adjust to a combination of controls to form distinctive channels, which
represent a dominant factor in the evolution of floodplain geomorphology and …

The Exxon sequence models of Posamentier and coworkers incorporate two concepts which
I question. They suggest that rivers grade to a" bayline", but evidence from modern major …

Geomorphic thresholds were defined initially as the condition at which there is a significant
landform change without a change of external controls such as base level, climate and land …

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 …

ABSTRACT A simple theoretical model for generating proximal alluvial depositional
sequences was developed from flume experiments and illustrated by seismic reflection …

Previous work on event frequency in fluvial systems has tended to focus on the frequency of
the most effective event in terms of total sediment transport, or on the frequency of the event …

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 …
