Description
Based on the interdisciplinary approaches between earth science, engineering, physical geography, ecology and management, this text focuses
on the theoretical questions, case-studies, challenges, and constraints taken from river restoration. It is illustrated with reports
of new ground-breaking research covering spatial and temporal scales of physical processes in river catchments, coupling catchment and
fluvial processes, grain dynamics and fluvial forms and on geo-ecology and restoration in mountain gravel-bed river environments. Each
chapter includes discussions and comments providing experience and feedback from the fundamental research. This book covers scales of
analysis for gravel-bed rivers, physics and modeling of processes at local and point scales, sediment delivery and storage, eco-geography
and eco-hydraulics, and channel management and restoration.
Audience
Geologists, hydrologists, geochemists, geomorphologists, civil engineers, and restoration ecologists
