- Abstract:
- This project will develop a new high resolution, reach scale model to simulate the development of alluvial valley floors and sedimentary sequences. This will be used to retropredict past river behaviour in response to climate and land use changes, as well as to predict how river systems will react to global warming induced variations in flood frequency/magnitude. The model will be based on a 3d representation of valley floor morphology and alluvial sequences, with a 2d flow model coupled to a multiple grainsize erosion and deposition scheme. For validation, model results will be tested using alluvial data obtained on the River Severn.
