- Abstract:
- This proposal concerns the initiation and early development of a river channel within a newly-cut, sinuous, trapezoidal corridor. It integrates numerical flow simulations with observations of river morphology and dynamics, and with evolving riparian habitat and community structure at two spatio-temporal scales: (reach/annual; and cross-section and bedform/event). The aim is to provide the first integrated study of hydraulic, sedimentological and vegetation influences on the initial development of a river channel and its margins. This will provide scientific insight into the mechanisms of river channel and margin establishment and will inform future corridor design.
