Description :
This paper reviews concepts of large fluvial sediment waves at scales extending to several tens of kilometres. It points out constraints on the inferences that can be made about sediment loads based on changes in channel-bed elevation at this scale where channel sediment interacts with storage in floodplain and terrace deposits.
