Book description
Gravel-Bed Rivers: Processes, Tools, Environments
presents a definitive review of current knowledge of gravel-bed rivers,
derived from the 7th
International Gravel-bed Rivers Workshop, the 5-yearly meeting of the
world's leading authorities in the field.
Each chapter in the book has
been specifically commissioned to represent areas in which recent
progress has been made in the field. The topics covered also represent
a coherent progression through the principal areas of the subject
(hydraulics; sediment transport; river morphology; tools and methods;
applications of science).
- Definitive review of the current knowledge of gravel-bed rivers
- Coverage of both fundamental and applied topics
- Edited by leading academics with contributions from key
researchers
- Thoroughly edited for quality and consistency to provide coherent
and logical progression through the principal areas of the subject.
Gravel-Bed Rivers: Processes, Tools, Environments
provides an up-to-date report of the state of the field and serves as
an essential resource for river engineers and ecologists,
geomorphologists, river managers and advanced students in these fields.
