▪ Abstract Avulsion is the natural process by which flow diverts out of an established river
channel into a new permanent course on the adjacent floodplain. Avulsions are primarily …

The hydromorphic regimes that underpinned Old World river-based civilizations are
reviewed in light of recent research. Notable Holocene climatic changes varied from region …

River bifurcations are critical but poorly understood elements of many geomorphological
systems. They are integral elements of alluvial fans, braided rivers, fluvial lowland plains …

Internally generated, or autogenic, terrestrial and marine sediment-transport dynamics can
produce depositional patterns similar to those associated with climatic, tectonic, or sea level …

Abstract 137Cs is a long-lived man-made radionuclide introduced in the environment
worldwide at the early beginning of the nuclear Era during atmospheric nuclear testing's …

It is often taken for granted that rivers organize transport into a single active channel. In
some net-depositional environments, however, flow of water and sediment is distributed in …

There is a pressing need to understand how different delta morphologies arise because
morphology determines a delta's ecologic structure, resilience to relative sea‐level rise, and …

Modeling is an invaluable tool for studying sedimentary basin filling and for understanding
depositional processes with long recurrence intervals, including channel avulsion …

Here we describe new techniques for creating river‐dominated (birds foot) deltas with strong
channelization in the laboratory. The key to achieving strong self‐channelization is the …

The emphasis on gradient advantages in studies of avulsion is misleading. While gradient
advantages are necessary for an avulsion to occur, the late Holocene avulsion history of the …
