Fluvial Forms And Processes
David Knightons best-selling book looks at the wide range of forms developed by natural rivers and the processes responsible for that development. The book combines empirical and theoretical approaches and provides a critical assessment of the many schools of thought which have emerged for dealing with adjustment in the fluvial system. It is fully illustrated throughout by a superb range of figures photographs and tables. Starting with the network scale the book examines the interaction of hillslopes drainage networks and channels and goes on to considerations of catchment hydrology and catchment denudation. Fluvial processes are analysed in detail from the mechanics of flow to sediment transport and deposition. Detailing the major components of river channels the book examines the nature
of river adjustment particularly with respect to equilibrium concepts and concludes with a look at channel changes through time affected by flood discharges climatic change and human activities.
