Over the last several decades, environmental legislation and a growing awareness of
historical human disturbance to rivers worldwide (Schumm, 1977; Collins et al., 2003; Surian …

Traditional policies for managing river bank erosion are currently being reconsidered as a
result of increased awareness regarding the unsustainable nature of some forms of bank …

This book outlines a generic set of procedures, termed the River Styles Framework, which
provides a set of tools for interpreting river character, behavior, condition, and recovery …

The paper deals with the validation and evaluation of mathematical models in natural
hazard analysis, with a special focus on establishing their predictive power. Although most …

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 …

Our objective is to understand general causes of different river channel patterns. In this
paper we compare an empirical stream power‐based classification and a physics‐based …

Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through
time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are …

Channel instability and aquatic ecosystem degradation have been linked to watershed
imperviousness in humid regions of the US In an effort to provide a more process‐based …

A new channel pattern classification is presented based on theoretically derived channel
pattern discriminant functions. The thresholds are formulated as power laws that relate the …

Fluvial Hydraulics provides a sound qualitative and quantitative understanding of water and
sediment flows in natural rivers. This understanding is essential for modeling and predicting …
