Description

Recent trends in fluvial research emphasize the broader implications of natural river channel adjustments and the longer- term geomorphological, social and ecological consequences of major engineering works and land-use change. This collection of essays is designed to reflect the holistic nature of the river valley, to shift attention away from the river bed and to consider the data requirements needed to better model river floodplain history.

Table of Contents

• Modelling Channel Migration and Floodplain Sedimentation in Meandering Streams
