Floodplains perform diverse functions, including attenuation of fluxes of water, solutes, and
particulate material. Critical details of floodplain storage including magnitude, duration, and …

By trapping sediment in reservoirs, dams interrupt the continuity of sediment transport
through rivers, resulting in loss of reservoir storage and reduced usable life, and depriving …

Building on previous environmental flow discussions and a growing recognition that
hydrogeomorphic processes are inherent in the ecological functionality and biodiversity of …

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

Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through
time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are …

We evaluate three metrics representing the drivers of channel change downstream from
dams. A balance between changes in sediment supply and transport capacity identifies …

Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew Goudie, this volume provides a
state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorphology. It presents a truly …

Large dams have been constructed on rivers to meet human demands for water, electricity,
navigation, and recreation. As a consequence, flow and temperature regimes have been …

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 …

Understanding river response to sediment pulses is a fundamental problem in geomorphic
process studies, with myriad implications for river management. However, because large …
