Resistance to flow determines several important hydraulic parameters in streams and rivers
and must be properly represented in models for estimating water discharge and sediment …

A landscape's sediment grain size distribution is the product of, and an important influence
on, earth surface processes and landscape evolution. Grains can be large enough that the …

The stream power incision model (SPIM) is a cornerstone of quantitative geomorphology. It
states that river incision rate is the product of drainage area and channel slope raised to the …

A data set of 2890 field measurements was used to test the ability of several conventional
flow resistance equations to predict mean flow velocity in gravel bed rivers when used with …

In the Erlenbach stream, a pre‐alpine steep channel in Switzerland, sediment transport has
been monitored for more than 25 years. Near the confluence with the main valley river …

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 …

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 …

Recent studies have observed deviation from normal (Fickian) diffusion in sediment tracer
dispersion that violates the assumption of statistical convergence to a Gaussian. Nikora et …

Rills caused by runoff concentration on erodible hillslopes generally have very irregular
longitudinal profiles and cross-section shapes. Rill erosion directly depends on the …

Steep mountain streams typically feature macro‐roughness elements like boulders, step‐
pool sequences, and a varying channel width. Flow resistance because of such roughness …
