In many drylands worldwide, rivers are subjected to episodic, extreme flood events and associated sediment stripping. These events may trigger transformations from mixed bedrock-alluvial channels characterised by high geomorphic and ecological diver...

Morphodynamic simulation of sediment deposition patterns on a recently stripped bedrock anastomosed channel (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Milan, D., Heritage, G., Entwistle, N., & Tooth, S. Morphodynamic simulation of sediment deposition patterns on a recently stripped bedrock anastomosed channel. Presented at IAHS Scientific Assembly 2017, Port Elizabeth, South Africa

Some mixed bedrock-alluvial dryland rivers are known to undergo cycles of alluvial building during low flow periods, punctuated by stripping events during rare high magnitude flows. We focus on the Olifants River, Kruger National Park, South Africa,... Read More about Morphodynamic simulation of sediment deposition patterns on a recently stripped bedrock anastomosed channel.
