Meandering

Accreting, fast and slow: Geometry, kinematics and sediment load of fluvial channels

We developed ‘rivabar’, a graph-based Python tool that automatically extracts river centerlines and banklines from time-lapse satellite imagery, and use it to investigate how sediment load drives channel migration patterns and stratigraphic complexity in single-thread and multi-thread rivers.

Meandering streamflows across landscapes and scales: a review and discussion

This introductory chapter reviews the history of research on meandering streams and presents a compilation of data on meander morphology.

The impact of post-cutoff bend curvature on channel kinematics in meandering rivers: an example from the Trinity River, Texas, USA

This paper investigates the relationship between post-cutoff bend curvature and channel kinematics in meandering rivers using Trinity River data.

A frozen history of meandering: Mapping and modeling ice-wedge polygons on point bars

A number of meandering rivers in the Arctic, especially in Siberia, have point bars with strikingly structured permafrost polygon patterns. We use a Unet-type convolutional neural network to map the polygons.

Giant meandering channel evolution, Campos deep-water salt basin, Brazil

This paper analyzes the evolution of giant meandering submarine channels in the Campos Basin, Brazil, and their interaction with salt diapirs.

Autogenic translation and counter point bar deposition in meandering rivers

This paper explores the development of counter point bars in meandering rivers through autogenic translation processes.
