TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of matric suction, positive pore-water pressure and confining pressure for layered streambanks composed of cohesive materials in determining bank strength.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the importance of streambank composition and stratigraphy in controlling seepage flow and quantify correlation of seepages flow/erosion with precipitation, stream stage and soil pore water pressure.

TL;DR: In this paper, a channel evolution model based on the CONCEPTS conservational channel evolution and pollutant transport system is proposed to simulate streambank-failure processes. But the model is tested against observed streambank erosion of a bendway on Goodwin Creek, Miss. between March 1996 and March 2001, where it accurately predicts the rate of retreat of the outside bank of the bendway.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new approach that calculates rates of river meander migration using physically-based streambank erosion formulations, which can capture the complex long-term migration patterns of natural channels which cannot be merely predicted from hydrodynamics only.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the lateral and vertical heterogeneity in bank material properties and riparian vegetation within two elongate meander loops on a large mixed bedrock-alluvial river using several geotechnical field and laboratory methods.
