Emergent geometries of groundwater-fed rivers
… around a single stream, the network-averaged planform stream shape, and the shape of the drainage basin. First, we identify a new feature in stream valleys - a spatially variable diffusivity - that gives rise to a theoretical valley shape that agrees with the shapes of real valleys. Next, we …

Beach and sea-cliff dynamics as a driver of long-term rocky coastline evolution and stability
… questions. For example, what determines the planform morphology of a rocky coastline? Can it reach an equilibrium configuration and cross-shore amplitude? What rocky coastline processes and characteristics scale the formation time and size of sea stacks? The overarching theme of the following …

Distribution and abundance of nearshore aquatic habitat, Fraser River, British Columbia
… increase is due to substantial change in river planform morphology following a 30-year period of large annual floods. However, amounts of habitat did not increase exclusively during periods of higher than average flows, or decrease exclusively during periods of lower than average flows. Instead, …

Controls on and Morphodynamic Effects of Width Variations in Bed-load Dominated Alluvial Channels: Experimental and Numerical Study
… ratio, which is closely related to the planform morphology of alluvial rivers. Width adaptation bears crucial implications for river management: on one hand, channel widening may result in loss of valuable land and in the increase of the damage risk of infrastructures in surrounding …
