In response to various types of human disturbance, most Italian rivers have experienced
considerable channel adjustment during the last centuries and in particular in the last …

▪ 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 …

David Knighton's best-selling book looks at the wide range of forms developed by natural
rivers and the processes responsible for that development. The book combines empirical …

Rivers and Floodplains is concerned with the origin, geometry, water flow, sediment
transport, erosion and deposition associated with modern alluvial rivers and floodplains …

This revised and updated edition continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to the
subject, exploring the world's landforms from a broad systems perspective. It covers the …

This paper introduces this special issue of Aquatic Sciences. It outlines a multi-scale,
hierarchical framework for developing process-based understanding of catchment to reach …

Anabranching rivers consist of multiple channels separated by vegetated semi‐permanent
alluvial islands excised from existing floodplain or formed by within‐channel or deltaic …

The major goal of this book is to bring together evidence of active deformation on alluvial
rivers, with emphasis on geomorphological adjustment. The authors have grouped their …

A substantial increase in fluvial sediment supply relative to transport capacity causes
complex, large-magnitude changes in river and floodplain morphology downstream …

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) …
