River Response to Anthropogenic Modification: Channel Steepening and Gravel Front Fading in an Incising River

While most of the world's large rivers are heavily engineered, channel response to engineering measures on decadal to century and several 100 km scales is scarcely documented. We investigate the response of the Lower Rhine River (Germany-Netherlands) to engineering measures, in terms of channel slope and bed surface grain size. Field data...

Size stratification in a Gilbert delta due to a varying base level: Flume experiments

Comparison between experimental and numerical stratigraphy emplaced by a prograding delta

A one-dimensional model that is able to store the stratigraphy emplaced by a prograding delta is validated against experimental results. The laboratory experiment describes the migration of a Gilbert delta on a sloping basement into standing water, i.e., a condition in which the stratigraphy emplaced by the delta front is entirely stored in the...
