Bank retreat plays a fundamental role in fluvial and estuarine dynamics. It affects the cross‐
sectional evolution of channels, provides a source of sediment, and modulates the diversity …

A landscape's sediment grain size distribution is the product of, and an important influence
on, earth surface processes and landscape evolution. Grains can be large enough that the …

Understanding the physical processes driving bedrock channel formation is essential for
interpreting and predicting the evolution of mountain landscapes. Here we analyze bedrock …

Valley morphologies of rivers crossing zones of active uplift range from narrow canyons to
broad alluvial surfaces. They provide illuminating examples of the fundamental, but poorly …

Lateral movements of alluvial river channels control the extent and reworking rates of
alluvial fans, floodplains, deltas, and alluvial sections of bedrock rivers. These lateral …

Results from computational morphodynamics modeling of coupled flow–bed–sediment
systems are described for 10 applications as a review of recent advances in the field. Each …

Bedrock channel slope and width are important parameters for setting bedload transport
capacity and for stream-profile inversion to obtain tectonics information. Channel width and …

Bedrock incision plays a key role in determining the pace of landscape evolution. Much is
known about how bedrock rivers incise vertically, but less is known about lateral erosion …

Understanding how a bedrock river erodes its banks laterally is a frontier in geomorphology.
Theories for the vertical incision of bedrock channels are widely implemented in the current …

Rivers are dynamical systems that are thought to evolve towards a steady-state
configuration. Then, geomorphic parameters, such as channel width and slope, are constant …
