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 …

Sediment is one of the most common causes of stream impairment. Great progress has been
made in understanding the processes of soil erosion due to surface runoff and incorporating …

Many models of river meander migration rely upon a simple formalism, whereby the eroding
bank is cut back at a rate that is dictated by the flow, and the depositing bank then migrates …

Rivers self-organize their pattern/planform through feedbacks between bars, channels,
floodplain and vegetation, which emerge as a result of the basic spatial sorting process of …

Streambank erosion is known to be a major source of sediment in streams and rivers. The
Bank Stability and Toe Erosion Model (BSTEM) was developed in order to predict …

At a global scale, delta morphologies are subject to rapid change as a result of direct and
indirect effects of human activity. This jeopardizes the ecosystem services of deltas …

We present an integrated analysis of bank erosion in a high‐curvature bend of the gravel
bed Cecina River (central Italy). Our analysis combines a model of fluvial bank erosion with …

Previous flume‐based research on braided channels has revealed four classic mechanisms
that produce braiding: central bar development, chute cutoff, lobe dissection, and transverse …

Meandering rivers display active communication between bank erosion and bar deposition
processes. How does this occur? How does the river select its width? To answer these …

This paper reviews recent developments in modelling the two main sets of bank-erosion
processes and mechanisms, namely fluvial erosion and mass failure, before suggesting an …
