The “unreasonable effectiveness” of stratigraphic and geomorphic experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that unreasonable experimental effectiveness arises from natural scale independence, and they advocate a shift in emphasis in experimental stratigraphy and geomorphology away from classical dynamical scaling and towards a quantitative understanding of the origins and limits of scale independence.

Intensity and Characteristic Length of Braided Channel Patterns
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the number of anabranches increases with dimensionless discharge and stream power, which is governed mechanistically by the dynamics of bifurcations and avulsions.

1.17 Laboratory and Experimental Geomorphology: Examples from Fluvial and Aeolian Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the formative years for the use of hydraulic flumes, river modeling flumes and wind tunnels are reviewed, as these apparatuses and their appurtenant equipment provide unrivalled opportunities for education and research, commonly producing transformative results that have markedly improved the understanding of Earth surface processes.
