TL;DR: The bursting process in turbulent boundary layers provides new insight on turbulence phenomena, mechanics of sedimentation, and genesis of bedforms in natural geophysical flows as mentioned in this paper, which can be divided into an inner zone and an outer zone, whose properties scale with the fluid-dynamic variables of the entire flow.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined three fundamental groups of bed forms common to all sedimentary environments dominated by shearing flow: the largest bed forms (macroforms), such as point bars, respond to geomorphological regime of the environment and are relatively insensitive to changes in fluid-dynamic regime during an individual dynamic event (for example, a flood in a river).

TL;DR: In the lower Wabash River of Illinois and Indiana, a given meander bend at any stream discharge shows the following sequence of increasing length of transition zones: spiral flow, depth, velocity magnitude, mean size of bed material, and dune height as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a depth-velocity-size diagram of the stability fields of large-scale ripples in the lower Wabash River is presented, showing the existence of dunes upon stoss-sides of sand waves.
