Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book is based upon papers presented at the BGRG symposium held in 1987 at the University of Lancaster. The topics covered include the latest developments in describing flood flow generation, interpretation of flood sediments, reconstruction of flood magnitude and other aspects of floods, as well as an assessment of the effects of floods within the framework of longer term landform evolution. The contributors were from a range of disciplines, but had a common interest in the dynamics of fluvial floods and their effect on the landscape. The volume will be of use to hydrologists, hydraulic engineers, geomorphologists and sedimentologists.
