Interaction between lateral sorting in river bends and vertical sorting in dunes (2019)
Journal Article
Baar, A. W., Weisscher, S. A., & Kleinhans, M. G. (2020). Interaction between lateral sorting in river bends and vertical sorting in dunes. Sedimentology, 67(1), 606-626. https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.12656

Sediment is sorted in river bends under the influence of gravity that pulls the heavier grains downslope and secondary flow that drags the finer grains upslope. Furthermore, when dunes are present, sediment is also sorted vertically at the dune lee s... Read More about Interaction between lateral sorting in river bends and vertical sorting in dunes.
