Subglacial bedforms—an introduction

Sedimentary Geology, 1989
Abstract This introduction provides of a brief review of a set of papers based on a Special Symposium held at the XII INQUA Congress, Ottawa, 1987. Attention is also drawn to the major concepts and controversies behind the formation of subglacial bedforms and to major issues for future research.

Bedform Alignment in Directionally Varying Flows

Science, 1987
Many kinds of sediment bedforms are presumed to trend either normal or parallel to the direction of sediment transport. For this reason, the trend of bedforms observed by remote sensing or by field observations is commonly used as an indicator of the direction of sediment transport.

Bedform-velocity matrix: The estimation of bottom current velocity from bedform observations

Geology, 2009
A wide variety of bedforms, both depositional and erosional in origin, has been recognized on the deep seafloor and attributed to the influence of bottom currents. These range in scale from those visible in bottom photographs (centimeter to decimeter), to those recorded with seafloor bathymetric imaging (meter to kilometer).

Principles of Mechanics of Bedforms

2015
Natural streambed does not exhibit a plane bed surface, but takes various geometrical forms known as bedforms. In this book chapter, the studies dealing with the formation mechanism of bedforms and their stability are discussed. The important feature of this chapter is the presentation of mathematical models proposed by various researchers.

Multitrack surveying of large bedforms

Geo-Marine Letters, 1988
Data are presented from multitrack surveys of large, sandy bedforms in the Fraser River estuary, Canada. A detailed contour map and block diagram provide information on three-dimensional bedform geometry that could not be obtained using conventional survey methods.

Bedforms steepness in alluvial streams

Journal of Hydraulic Research, 1992
A study of bedforms steepness in alluvial streams during the low flow regime is reported in this paper. By means of an empirical approach two main results were found: a. The use of the dimensionless grain shear stress, τ′ adequately represents sediment transport intensity and, therefore, the observed evolution of bedform steepness.

Bedforms and Mine Burial

2003
Abstract : LONG-TERM GOAL. The goal of this work is to develop a predictive understanding of coastal bedforms and their effect on the burial of objects on the seafloor. OBJECTIVES. The objective of the research is to develop a robust characterization of the growth of the bottom profile envelope (the range from minimum to maximum depth) in the nearshore,

Frozen dynamics of migrating bedforms

Geology, 2005
Here we show how a continuum granular flow model can replicate realistic self-organizing subaqueous bedforms, and we explore how a record of this dynamic topography is transferred into the substrate where it can be fossilized. Modeled bedform behavior is quantitatively compared to laboratory and field data. Sediment scouring and deposition by migrating
