The geometry of alluvial river channels both controls and adjusts to the flow of water and
sediment within them. This feedback between flow and form modulates flood risk, and the …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Bedrock erosion rates in natural landscapes are usually slow, of the order of millimeters per
year or less, and sophisticated techniques have been developed to measure them. Different …

The Swiss plate geophone system is a bed load surrogate monitoring technique that is used
to quantify bed load transport in steep streams. The amplitude of the signal recorded by the …

Abstract We examine broadband (5–480 Hz) seismic data from the Erlenbach stream in the
Swiss Prealps, where discharge, precipitation, and bed load transport are independently …

Understanding the physical processes driving bedrock channel formation is essential for
interpreting and predicting the evolution of mountain landscapes. Here we analyze bedrock …

Bedload transport in natural channels typically shows large fluctuations even for constant
hydraulic forcing. It has been shown that the threshold shear stress for initiation of motion …

Steep streams often feature a step‐pool morphology where the steps determine channel
stability and dissipate the stream's energy, and thus are important for local flow hydraulics …

Hysteresis in the relationship between bed load transport and river stage is a well‐
documented phenomenon with multiple known causes. Consequently, numerous studies …

Fluvial bedrock erosion rates are thought to be proportional to the energy delivered to the
channel bed by impacting bed load particles. Combining methods for field measurements of …
