The stratigraphic record is famously fragmentary, but it is also full of short, relatively complete fragments — laminated siltstones, eolian cross sets, point bars — that record ordinary events at seasonal to annual resolution.
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.
This introductory chapter reviews the history of research on meandering streams and presents a compilation of data on meander morphology.
This paper investigates the relationship between post-cutoff bend curvature and channel kinematics in meandering rivers using Trinity River data.
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.
This paper analyzes the evolution of giant meandering submarine channels in the Campos Basin, Brazil, and their interaction with salt diapirs.
