Recently published research articles, cartographic updates, and hydrological profiles in chronological order.
How helical flow and centrifugal shear stress drive cut-bank erosion, point-bar sediment accretion, neck cutoffs, and the genesis of horseshoe oxbow lakes.
Analyzing Leopold and Wolman's classic fluvial threshold: why steep valley slopes, coarse non-cohesive gravels, and variable discharge create multi-channel braided rivers.
When confined mountain canyons emerge onto flat piedmont valley floors, rapid loss of hydraulic depth triggers fan-shaped sedimentary deposits and critical groundwater aquifers.
Step-by-step examination of paired vs unpaired river terraces: how cyclic glacial sediment surges and crustal tectonic rebound lock prehistoric riverbed floodplains in time.
