Research into post-wildfire effects began in the United States more than 70years ago and
only later extended to other parts of the world. Post-wildfire responses are typically transient …

Until recently, one-way relationships between flow dynamics, geomorphology and plant
ecology were considered dominantly when studying the functioning of river systems …

Connectivity describes the efficiency of material transfer between geomorphic system
components such as hillslopes and rivers or longitudinal segments within a river network …

The concept of the sediment delivery problem was introduced into the literature in 1983 by
Des Walling. This concept describes how only a fraction of sediment eroded within a …

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 …

Published records of the rainfall intensities and durations associated with shallow
landsliding and debris flow activity suggests a limiting threshold for this type of slope …

The bed of natural stream channels can be composed of bedrock, fine-grained alluvium, or a
coarse-grained gravel pavement. Alluvial channels are characterized by one of two types of …

Floodplains are formed by a complex interaction of fluvial processes but their character and
evolution is essentially the product of stream power and sediment character. The relation …

This revised and updated edition continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to the
subject, exploring the world's landforms from a broad systems perspective. It covers the …

The effects of dams on downstream geomorphology are reviewed and a typology is devised,
consisting of nine cases. The classification can be seen as a further development of Lane's …
