The rivers of the world are undergoing accelerated change in the Anthropocene, and need
to be managed at much broader spatial and temporal scales than before. Fluvial remote …

Computer-based geomorphometry using a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) allows the
analysis of the three-dimensional properties of landscape. This methodology is particularly …

Stream power is a measure of the main driving forces acting in a channel and determines a
river's capacity to transport sediment and perform geomorphic work. Recent digital elevation …

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Resources Monograph
Series, Volume 19. What are the forms and processes characteristic of mountain rivers and …

Valley setting and confinement (or lack thereof) are primary controls on river character and
behaviour. Although there are various proxies for valley confinement, direct measures that …

River histories provide important guidance with which to inform river management.
Evolutionary trajectories and appraisals of system responses to changing flux conditions …

The stream length‐gradient index (SL) shows the variation in stream power along river
reaches. This index is very sensitive to changes in channel slope, thus allowing the …

Recent research has elucidated the positive ecological roles of large wood (LW) in fish-
bearing channels. However, where logjams increase local flooding and bank erosion, LW …

Network-scale heterogeneity in fluvial forms and processes has been analyzed for decades
through the field-based characterization of a reduced number of sites. Spatially continuous …

Urbanization typically leads to erosion and instability in rivers, and many management and
restoration strategies have been developed to dampen the worst impacts. Stream power …
