A review on bank retreat: Mechanisms, observations, and modeling
Bank retreat plays a fundamental role in fluvial and estuarine dynamics. It affects the cross‐
sectional evolution of channels, provides a source of sediment, and modulates the diversity …

Is “morphodynamic equilibrium” an oxymoron?
Morphodynamic equilibrium is a widely adopted yet elusive concept in the field of
geomorphology of coasts, rivers and estuaries. Based on the Exner equation, an expression …
