Downstream variation in grain size along an Alpine river : analysis of controls and processes

Auteur :
SURIAN, N.

Description :
This study concerns downstream variation in bed material size along a 115-km reach of the Piave River in north-eastern Italy. This river drains a region producing high sediment yields (the Dolomites and the Prealps) and has a braided pattern along half of its length. The A. analyses the changes of bed material size in the downstream direction and explains these changes in the light of both natural and anthropogenic factors.
