DOI: 10.1002/esp.5085

Abstract: Meandering channels and valleys are dominant landscape features on Earth. Their morphology and remnants potentially indicate past base‐level fluctuations and changing regional slopes. The prevailing presence of meandering segments in low‐slope areas somewhat confuses the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2020.107550

Abstract: Abstract The tectonic and fluvial setting of the Rhine-Meuse river system in the Lower Rhine Embayment rift system is exceptionally well known. The 19th century, pre-regulation river courses of three rivers are used to study… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Geology"

DOI: 10.1130/g46319.1

Abstract: Sediment supplies are a fundamental component of alluvial river systems, but the importance of sustained supplies of externally derived sediments for the evolution of meandering planforms remains unclear. Here we demonstrate the importance of sediment… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Hydrology and Earth System Sciences"

DOI: 10.5194/hess-28-1751-2024

Abstract: Abstract. This study uses a reduced-order two-dimensional (2-D) horizontal model to investigate the influence of the riverbank slope on the sinuosity-driven hyporheic exchange process along sloping alluvial riverbanks during a transient flood event. The deformed… read more here.
