Geological fluvial geomorphology
Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1988The history of American fluvial geomorphology over the past century is viewed as one of conflict and crises. From 1888 to 1938, a controversy arose between (1) a rational approach to understanding landscape genesis and history, with its roots in geology, and (2) a spatial-analytical approach to landscape classification and description, with its roots ...

Tools in Fluvial Geomorphology
2016Fluvial Geomorphology studies the biophysical processes acting in rivers, and the sediment patterns and landforms resulting from them. It is a discipline of synthesis, with roots in geology, geography, and river engineering, and with strong interactions with allied fields such as ecology, engineering and landscape architecture.

Fluvial geomorphology 2008–2009
Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2011This progress report on the discipline of fluvial geomorphology reviews 134 papers, 112 of which were published in Earth Surface Processes and Landforms ( ESPL) during the calendar years of 2008 and 2009. It continues where the last report for 2006 and 2007 ( Stott, 2010 ) ended. Papers are again grouped by themes to cover 10 subdisciplines within the

Cascade model for fluvial geomorphology
Geophysical Journal International, 1990Erosional landscapes are generally scale invariant and fractal. Spectral studies provide quantitative confirmation of this statement. Linear theories of erosion will not generate scale-invariant topography. In order to explain the fractal behavior of landscapes a modified Fourier series has been introduced that is the basis for a renormalization ...

Fluvial geomorphology of Wales
1997Fluvial systems in Wales possess three noteworthy characteristics. Firstly, they have an extended evolutionary history of considerable interest, including, in particular, phases of rejuvenation and of glaciation; together, such phases have produced a well-known and attractive landscape mixture of waterfalls, gorges, plateau uplands and flat-bottomed ...

Fluvial geomorphology of Scotland
1997Scottish rivers afford a richer variety of process, form and pattern than other UK rivers because of the greater diversity of environments within which they have evolved. This arises because of deeply dissected relief (particularly to be found in the Scottish Highlands), the juxtaposition of reaches from highland, upland and lowland environments, and ...

Guidebook of applied fluvial geomorphology
2010The practical application of geomorphological science now forms a regular part of any project involving flood protection, fisheries, conservation, recreation, environmental protection and river restoration. In this book the authors use their extensive experience gained through fieldwork, analysis, and input to the design process to provide a thorough ...

Statistics and fluvial geomorphology
2016This chapter reviews statistical tools and illustrates their use to answer geomorphological questions, and also overviews their advantages and limits. Application of statistical tools in fluvial geomorphology has the advantages of reducing subjectivity, eliminating assumptions, facilitating comparison between different spatial and temporal datasets of ...
