Researchers examine how slope determines stream shape.

Research Spotlight 28 August 2017

What Controls the Shape of Steep Mountain Streams?

The shape of steep river streams changes systematically with channel slope, but field data and theoretical analysis reveal that slope is not the sole factor in setting a channel’s form.

Researchers assess whether methods of studying alluvial rivers are helpful to understanding behavior of rivers without loose sediment.

Research Spotlight 8 May 2017

How Do Rivers Flow over Bedrock?

A study questions whether the hydraulics of rivers that lack loose sediments along their bottoms can be accurately depicted by standard equations for flow over sediment.
