This book provides a comprehensive exploration of morpho-hydro-sediment interactive processes to explain channel planform dynamics, integrating advanced quantitative techniques and assessing flood risks, including model-based mitigation strategies. It delves into the temporal evolution of riverscape dynamics driven by autogenic and allogenic factors, while evaluating sediment generation within... Read more
