Nebraska's rivers can be thought of as places for quiet contemplation, familiar local landmarks or as precious natural resources to be protected. For Jesse Korus, the state's rivers are all that, but ...

Fluvial systems, integral to shaping terrestrial landscapes, encompass the dynamic processes by which rivers transport, sort, and deposit sediment. These processes are central to the formation of ...

Fluvial sedimentology and palaeoenvironments represent a dynamic field that seeks to elucidate the processes governing river systems and their associated sedimentary records across geological time.

The water pressure of a river can cut deep into a riverbed. Sediments from the riverbed are carried downstream, creating a deep, narrow channel. This process, known as downcutting, represents the ...

Researcher uncovers why most of the records left by ancient rivers preserve commonplace processes. The Torridon sandstone in northwestern Scotland preserves six kilometers of river sediment from ...
