Defining and Measuring Braiding Intensity
Roey Egozi,Peter Ashmore +1 more
TL;DR: Several simple indices have been proposed and two (channel count and total sinuosity) are the most commonly applied as mentioned in this paper, however, none of these indices has been an assessment of the sampling requirements and there has been no systematic study of the equivalence of the indices to each other and their sensitivity to river stage.

A Review of Flood-Related Storage and Remobilization of Heavy Metal Pollutants in River Systems
TL;DR: Regularities in the flood-related transport, channel-to-floodplain transfer, and storage and remobilization of heavy metals, which are the most persistent environmental pollutants in river systems are summarized.

Assessment of morphological changes induced by flow and flood pulses in a gravel bed braided river: The Tagliamento River (Italy)
TL;DR: In this article, the morphological changes induced by six different floods in a 1 km-long reach of the Tagliamento River, Italy, were investigated, and cross-section profiles were used to quantify the transported sediments volume and to estimate the percentage of the floodplain subject to morphological evolution.

MODIS observations of the bottom topography and its inter-annual variability of Poyang Lake
Lian Feng,Lian Feng,Chuanmin Hu,Xiaoling Chen,Xiaoling Chen,Rongfang Li,Liqiao Tian,Brock Murch +7 more
TL;DR: Using MODIS 250-m resolution data, Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a novel approach to derive the bottom topography of Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake of China (> 3000 km2 at maximum inundation) for every year between 2000 and 2009.

Comparison of empirical and theoretical remote sensing based bathymetry models in river environments
TL;DR: In this paper, different methods of computing bathymetry models based on remotely sensed imagery combined with ground measurements for calibration were investigated in order to produce a digital bathYmetry model of a reach of the river Tana in Lapland.

Relative scales of time and effectiveness of climate in watershed geomorphology
M. Gordon Wolman,Ran Gerson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of extreme events on the landscape is measured by the time required for a landform to recover the form existing prior to an extreme event, and the effectiveness of such events in forming landscape features can be related to the rate of recovery of channel form or mass wasting scars following alteration by the extreme event.

Rivers and Floodplains: Forms, Processes, and Sedimentary Record
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe and interpret Sedimentary Strata and describe the long-term evolution of Fluvial Systems. But they do not discuss the role of water flow in the evolution of these structures.

Patterns of alluvial rivers
TL;DR: A review of alluvial river patterns can be found in this article, where the authors discuss the relationship between hydrology, hydraulics, geology, and geomorphology at all scales.

On the cause and characteristic scales of meandering and braiding in rivers
TL;DR: In this paper, a stability analysis of meandering and braiding perturbations in a model alluvial river is described, and a perturbation technique involving a small parameter representing the ratio of sediment transport to water transport is used to obtain the following results.
