Multivariate Controls on Bed Turnover in Braided Rivers
Abstract Braided rivers with multiple threads exhibit variable, sometimes chaotic movements, making it difficult to characterize their mobility and identify the climate, tectonic, and land‐cover conditions that drive their behavior. Using 25 years of satellite imagery from 20 braided rivers, we measured “bed turnover”—successive conversions between ...

Coastal erosion poses significant challenges to shoreline management, exacerbated by rising sea levels and changing climate patterns. This study investigates the influence of gap spacing between semicircular coastal defence structures on shoreline ...

The physics of dunes relies on the interaction between a wind flow and an erodible topography. Thus, if strong enough to transport grains, the wind shapes sandy areas into dune fields. These dunes are reminiscent of a wavy sea so that sandy deserts are called sand seas. However, the comparison stops there.

Shoreface morphodynamics in Ireland and France
International audienceThe shoreface is defined as the transition zone between the beach and the inner shelf. Its morphodynamics are driven by weather-wave climate interaction where, during fair weather, shoaling waves favour onshore sediment transport ...

The morphodynamics of shore platform beaches
The morphodynamics of shore platform beaches near Apollo Bay, Victoria, were examined, to determine their response to changing wave energy conditions and influence on shore platform development. Three specific research questions were posed. 1.

Maturation of River‐Dominated Delta Tops: The Channelized Delta Model
We present a novel, laterally averaged model of delta growth, the channelized delta model, in which delta top dynamics are described in terms of channelized (lumped channel) and non‐channelized areas. The maturation level of the lumped channel is defined

Periglacial Morphodynamics in the Upper Kaunertal
Proglacial areas represent transitional zones between glacial and periglacial landscapes. Non-glacial processes in the proglacial zone might evolve under periglacial conditions, and vice versa periglacial processes often occur in proglacial zones. Hence,
