River avulsions and their deposits

R Slingerland, ND Smith - Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci., 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ 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 …

Anastomosing rivers: a review of their classification, origin and sedimentary products

B Makaske - Earth-Science Reviews, 2001 - Elsevier
Anastomosing rivers constitute an important category of multi-channel rivers on alluvial
plains. Most often they seem to form under relatively low-energetic conditions near a (local) …

transport, erosion and deposition associated with modern alluvial rivers and floodplains …

Width and thickness of fluvial channel bodies and valley fills in the geological record: a literature compilation and classification

MR Gibling - Journal of sedimentary Research, 2006 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The three-dimensional geometry of fluvial channel bodies and valley fills has received much
less attention than their internal structure, despite the fact that many subsurface analyses …

Process, form and change in dryland rivers: a review of recent research

S Tooth - Earth-Science Reviews, 2000 - Elsevier
Many of the world's extensive warm dryland regions support numerous, albeit often
infrequently flowing, rivers. Dryland rivers are increasingly a focus of scientific and applied …

[HTML][HTML] Rediscovering, reevaluating, and restoring lost river-wetland corridors

E Wohl, J Castro, B Cluer, D Merritts… - Frontiers in Earth …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
River-wetland corridors form where a high degree of connectivity between the surface
(rheic) and subsurface (hyporheic) components of streamflow creates an interconnected …

Palaeozoic landscapes shaped by plant evolution

MR Gibling, NS Davies - Nature Geoscience, 2012 - nature.com
Fluvial landscapes diversified markedly over the 250 million years between the Cambrian
and Pennsylvanian periods. The diversification occurred in tandem with the evolution of …

Sources of organic carbon supporting the food web of an arid zone floodplain river

SE Bunn, PM Davies, M Winning - Freshwater Biology, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Many Australian inland rivers are characterised by vast floodplains with a network of
anastomosing channels that interconnect only during unpredictable flooding. For much of …

Conditions for branching in depositional rivers

DJ Jerolmack, D Mohrig - Geology, 2007 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
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 …

Spatial variation of overbank aggradation rate and its influence on avulsion frequency

TE Törnqvist, JS Bridge - Sedimentology, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
River avulsions are commonly considered to be driven by the aggradation and growth of
alluvial ridges, and the associated increase in crossvalley slope relative to either the down …
