Tools in Fluvial Geomorphology

open access: yes, 2016
Fluvial 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.

Statistics and fluvial geomorphology

open access: yes, 2016
This 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 ...

Fluvial Geomorphology

2021
This is the Fluvial Geomorphology Report produced by the National Rivers Authority (NRA) in 1994. The purpose of this paper is to briefly outline the relevance of fluvial geomorphology and the substantial benefits which could accrue from applying it nationally across the NRA.

Fundamentals of Fluvial Geomorphology

Choice Reviews Online, 2008
Geomorphology is the study of landforms and the processes responsible for making and modifying them. Fluvial geomorphology is the study of landforms whose genesis and evolution are affected by flowing water. A river or stream constitutes a geomorphic system and in working on a natural watercourse the complete system must be considered because, even ...

Modern empirical and modelling study approaches in fluvial geomorphology to elucidate sub-bend-scale meander dynamics

open access: yesProgress in Physical Geography, 2017
Major developments in theory and modelling techniques have taken place within the past couple of decades in the field of the fluvial geomorphology. In this review, we examine the state-of-the-art empirical and modelling approaches and discuss their ...

Fluvial geomorphology

Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2010
This progress report on the discipline of fluvial geomorphology reviews 147 papers published in 21 key journals during the calendar years of 2006 and 2007. Papers are grouped by themes to cover 10 subject areas. The themes were chosen by classifying all geomorphological articles published in a single leading journal for the same period, of which (44 ...

Fluvial geomorphology of Wales

1997
Fluvial 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

1997
Scottish 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 ...
