Abstract: Incision and ensuing widening of alluvial stream channels is widespread in the midsouth and midwestern United States and represents an important form of channel adjustment. Streambanks have been found to contribute as much ...

Abstract: Alluvial channels readily adjust their morphology, hydraulics, and sedimentology in response to disturbances. Knowledge of the spatial and temporal trends of channel adjustment is central to the protection and maintenance ...

Abstract: In this paper the numerical model presented in the companion paper is tested and applied. Assessment of model accuracy was based on two approaches. First, predictions of evolution of a 13.5 km reach of the South Fork of ...

Abstract: The construction of Fort Peck Dam in the 1930s on the Missouri River, eastern Montana, initiated a series of changes in hydrologic conditions and channel morphology downstream from the dam that impacted channel stability. ...

Abstract: Stream restoration, or more properly rehabilitation, is the return of a degraded stream ecosystem to a close approximation of its remaining natural potential. Many types of practices (dam removal, levee breaching, modified ...

Abstract: Vegetation growing on the surface of a streambank has been shown to alter the shear stresses applied to the boundary, but basic questions remain regarding the influence of vegetation and streambank configurations on near-bank ...

Abstract: Incision and the ensuing widening of alluvial stream channels represent important forms of channel adjustment. Two accompanying papers have presented a robust computational model for simulating the long-term evolution of ...
