The role of discharge variability in the formation and preservation of alluvial sediment bodies

CR Fielding, J Alexander, JP Allen - Sedimentary Geology, 2018 - Elsevier
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 …

[HTML][HTML] The negative relief of large river floodplains

J Lewin, PJ Ashworth - Earth-Science Reviews, 2014 - Elsevier
Large floodplains have multiple and complex negative relief assemblages in which
depressions fall below local or general floodplain surfaces at a variety of scales. The …

[图书][B] Fluvial depositional systems

AD Miall - 2014 - Springer
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 …

Splitting rivers at their seams: bifurcations and avulsion

MG Kleinhans, RI Ferguson, SN Lane… - … surface processes and …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
River bifurcations are critical but poorly understood elements of many geomorphological
systems. They are integral elements of alluvial fans, braided rivers, fluvial lowland plains …

The efficacy of stream power and flow duration on geomorphic responses to catastrophic flooding

FJ Magilligan, EM Buraas, CE Renshaw - Geomorphology, 2015 - Elsevier
Geomorphologists have long studied the impacts of extreme floods, yet the association
between the magnitude of flow parameters (discharge, velocity, shear stress, or stream …

Episodic overbank deposition as a dominant mechanism of floodplain and delta-plain aggradation

Z Shen, TE Törnqvist, B Mauz, EL Chamberlain… - …, 2015 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The common view that frequent overbank flooding leads to gradual aggradation of alluvial
strata on floodplains and delta plains has been challenged by a variety of studies that …

Variations in flood magnitude–effect relations and the implications for flood risk assessment and river management

JM Hooke - Geomorphology, 2015 - Elsevier
In spite of major physical impacts from large floods, present river management rarely takes
into account the possible dynamics and variation in magnitude–impact relations over time in …

Evolution and sedimentology of a channel fill in the sandy braided South Saskatchewan River and its comparison to the deposits of an adjacent compound bar

PJ Ashworth, GH Sambrook Smith, JL Best… - …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
The depositional stratigraphy of within‐channel deposits in sandy braided rivers is
dominated by a variety of barforms (both singular 'unit'bars and complex 'compound'bars) …

Deciphering the relative importance of fluvial and tidal processes in the fluvial–marine transition

RW Dalrymple, CE Kurcinka, BVJ Jablonski… - Developments in …, 2015 - Elsevier
Sedimentation in the fluvial–marine transition is governed by the interaction of river and tidal
currents. Tidal currents act continuously, albeit with small variations in strength as a result of …

Autogenic geomorphic processes determine the resolution and fidelity of terrestrial paleoclimate records

BZ Foreman, KM Straub - Science advances, 2017 - science.org
Terrestrial paleoclimate records rely on proxies hosted in alluvial strata whose beds are
deposited by unsteady and nonlinear geomorphic processes. It is broadly assumed that this …
