Extant, planform-based facies models for alluvial deposits are not fully fit for purpose,
because they over-emphasise plan form whereas there is little in the alluvial rock record that …

Big rivers dominate the world's continental surface, yet we are still learning about how they
operate and whether they are explicably different, not only from each other, but also from …

INTRODUCTION Remote observational data suggest that large bodies of standing water
existed on the surface of Mars in its early history. This would have required a much wetter …

In an earlier book, The Geology of Fluvial Deposits (1996), I set out in detail modern
methods of facies and architectural analysis of fluvial deposits, and used numerous case …

Dunes form critical agents of bedload transport in all of the world's big rivers, and constitute
appreciable sources of bed roughness and flow resistance. Dunes also generate …

Realistic physical models of meandering rivers have proven extremely difficult to produce,
particularly in comparison to the formation of braided rivers in the laboratory. Here we …

Estuaries show dynamic patterns of channels and bars, which are also valuable habitats,
while channels provide access to harbours. In contrast with bars in rivers, we still lack …

Bangladesh is dominated by three great rivers–the Brahmaputra-Jamuna, Ganga and
Meghna–that combine to feed sediment into one of the World's largest deltas in the Bay of …

As rooted vascular plants were not a significant factor in controlling bank stability or surface
runoff before the late Silurian, it is not surprising that many modern humid and temperate …

Historical archives of grey‐scale river channel imagery are extensive. Here, we present and
test a methodology to extract detailed quantitative topographic data from such imagery of …
