Bringing this classic textbook up-to-date with the latest research developments and new content on the effects of climate change, the role of biological processes and the impact of numerical modelling on the understanding of the fluvial system.
Fluvial Forms and Processes looks at the wide range of forms developed by natural rivers and the processes responsible for that development. The book combines empirical and theoretical approaches and provides a critical assessment of the various schools of thought which have emerged for dealing with adjustment in the fluvial system.
The book examines, using detailed analysis:
- Drainage networks
- Catchment processes
- Fluvial processes
- Adjustment of channel form
- Change through time
- Channel change and human activity
Fluvial Forms and Processes, Third Edition, is a comprehensive, integrated fluvial geomorphology textbook suitable for undergraduates and postgraduates.
