Description
This volume of new work by leading fluvial geomorphologists, geologists and hydrologists has four related themes: the spatial and temporal environmental controls of river morphology; the sedimentological control of channel form and process; development pressures and river management problems in relating sediment transport and river morphology; the nature of applied fluvial geomorphology in contexts ranging from the conservation of aquatic ecology to the engineering control of river processes. The contributors are: James C.Bathurst, B.J.Bluck, Andrew C.Brayshaw, D.Brunsden, P.A.Carling, T.R.H.Davies, William E.Dietrich, Rob Ferguson, Daniel I.Gregory, Alan D.Howard, D.K.C.Jones, A.D.Knighton, M.McCaig, M.P.Mosley, Pamela S.Naden, Keith Richards, Stanley A.Schumm, Robin F.Warner.
