| Title | The Sensitivity of Sediment Path-Lengths to Channel Morphology: Results from Physical Models of Braided Rivers |
| Creator | Wheaton, Joseph M. |
| Description | The travel distances of coarse sediment in gravel-bed rivers during floods, or their path-lengths, exhibit strong dependencies on the arrangement of geomorphic units they are sourced from, routed through or around, and finally deposited on. Despite previous research on both braiding and single-thread meandering streams, a coherent rule set which relates particle path lengths to morphology remains elusive; such a rule set has the potential to vastly simplify models which seek to predict... |
