TL;DR: In this article, a unique exhumed meander plain exposed to the north of Scarborough (Yorkshire, UK) is analyzed in terms of architecture and morphodynamics, with the aim of developing a comprehensive model of facies distribution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the morphology and sedimentology of the downstream-migrating fluvial point bars (DMFPB) of modern meandering rivers and discuss their main architectural and sedimentological features.

TL;DR: In this article, a range of new fluvial planform and architectural styles came to prominence, including channelled-and island-braided systems, meandering and anabranching systems, and stable muddy floodplains.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a global analysis of active meander migrations that includes previously ignored unvegetated rivers from the arid interiors of modern continents to demonstrate how profoundly vegetation transformed the pace of change for Earth's landscapes, and at last offer a mechanistic explanation for the radically distinct stratigraphic records of barren and vegetated rivers.

TL;DR: The Boss Point Formation of Atlantic Canada contains some of the Earth's earliest accumulations of large woody debris as mentioned in this paper, which is a major driver of fluvial dynamics in modern rivers, but few facies models incorporate its influence.
