A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Braided rivers form some of the world s most dynamic andvaried alluvial environments. They present issues in relation toflood control, irrigation, habitat protection and river regulation;and their deposits act as important aquifiers and hydrocarbonreservoirs giving them a key role in resource management.

This important book brings together eighteen cutting–edgeresearch papers first presented at the Second InternationalConference on Braided Rivers. The conference discussed the latestresearch on the dynamics, deposits and ecology of these rivers. Thepapers in this book include discussions of the morphology ofbraided rivers and aspects of their sediment transport,depositional models, numerical modeling, engineering applications,system scale understanding, aspects of bank protection and thesustainable management of braided rivers and their ecology.

The study of braided rivers is of interest to a wide range ofgeomorphologists, earth scientists, engineers and ecologists, andthis book will be essential reading for all those who have pure andapplied interest in the study, modelling and management of braidedrivers.
