In this review, the patterns or planforms of alluvial rivers are discussed, although it is apparent that the hydrologic and sediment yield characteristics of the drainage basin, as well as its geologic history, cannot be ignored in the explanation of the pattern of any river reach. This article discusses the great variability and dynamic behavior of river patterns, considers the reasons for the diversity of patterns, and explains why an understanding of patterns is essential for mined-land reclamation, channel modification for flood control and navigation, the identification of area of active tectonics, and the litigation of boundaries.

Download Active Tectonics Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Over 250,000 people were killed in the Tangshan, China earthquake of 1976, and other less active tectonic processes can disrupt river channels or have a grave impact on repositories of radioactive wastes. Since tectonic processes can be critical to many human activities, the Geophysics Study Committee Panel on Active Tectonics has presented an evaluation of the current state of knowledge about tectonic events, which include not only earthquakes but volcanic eruptions and similar events. This book addresses three main topics: the tectonic processes and their rates, methods of identifying and evaluating active tectonics, and the effects of active tectonics on society.

Download River Dynamics Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are fundamental in landscape development, and essential for water supply, irrigation, and transportation. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the geomorphological processes that shape rivers and that produce change in the form of rivers. It explores how the dynamics of rivers are being affected by anthropogenic change, including climate change, dam construction, and modification of rivers for flood control and land drainage. It discusses how concern about environmental degradation of rivers has led to the emergence of management strategies to restore and naturalize these systems, and how river management techniques work best when coordinated with the natural dynamics of rivers. This textbook provides an excellent resource for students, researchers, and professionals in fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, river science, and environmental policy.
