Forecasting Channel Morphodynamics in the Ulken Almaty River (Ile Alatau, Kazakhstan)
This article focuses on forecasting morphological changes in small rivers, using the Ulken Almaty River, located on the northern slope of the Ile Alatau range in the Tien Shan mountain system, as a case study. One of the key components of river morphology is the dynamics of channel processes, including erosion, accretion, and the shifting of channel ...
