Inferring bedload transport from stratigraphic successions: Examples from Cenozoic and Pleistocene rivers, south central Pyrenees, Spain (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jones, S. J., & Frostick, L. E. Inferring bedload transport from stratigraphic successions: Examples from Cenozoic and Pleistocene rivers, south central Pyrenees, Spain

Geologists and geomorphologists have long been concerned with rates of sediment transfer as bedload in gravel-bed rivers, especially as rates of sediment transfer are important factors controlling river aggradation and incision. Bedload transport equ... Read More about Inferring bedload transport from stratigraphic successions: Examples from Cenozoic and Pleistocene rivers, south central Pyrenees, Spain.
