Patterns of anabranching channels: The ultimate end-member adjustment of mega rivers
EM Latrubesse - Geomorphology, 2008 - Elsevier
Large fluvial systems adjust to a combination of controls to form distinctive channels, which
represent a dominant factor in the evolution of floodplain geomorphology and …

A study of sediment transport in the Madeira River, Brazil, using MODIS remote-sensing images
The Madeira River may contribute nearly half of the Amazon River sediment discharge to the
Atlantic Ocean, showing the highest erosion rates in the Amazon Basin. However, few …

Suspended sediment load in the Amazon Basin: an overview
In this report the state of knowledge of sediment transport by rivers of the Amazon drainage
basin is reviewed. On an annual basis the Amazon river transports about 1200× 10 6 tons of …

Provenance of sands from the confluence of the Amazon and Madeira rivers based on detrital heavy minerals and luminescence of quartz and feldspar
Source-to-sink systems are poorly known in tropical rivers. For the Amazonian rivers, the
majority of the provenance studies remain focused on the suspended load, implying a poor …

The significance of suspended sediment transport determination on the Amazonian hydrological scenario
Rivers play an important role in continental erosion as they are the primary agents of
transferring erosion products to the ocean. Understanding rivers and their transport …
