This paper describes valley bottom troughs of the Changiang River and infers the geomorphology development of troughs. The deep troughs are formed by river downcutting along the structural zones on the background of regional tectonic uplift. Trough
of hydrogeological structure, local topography, calcite-saturated hanging springs, algal activity and rapid downcutting in the streambed appear to have led to the formation of travertine bridges. Aeration through cascades and algal uptake causes efficient carbon

. The chronology suggests that rapid incision by One Tree Creek took place during the late Holocene, probably in response to climatic changes rather than an adjustment to the postglacial downcutting of the main river.

North Carolina. Urban expansion in the region began in the 1960s, with major urbanization occurring over the last 25 years. Channels draining urban watersheds are still responding to this land use change by downcutting and widening. Urban channel

Characteristics of main sites dated by the radiocarbon method. The AA. indicate very distinct phase of late-periglacial downcuting followed by change from braided to meandering channels. Short phase of aggradation during the Younger Dryas. Early
A drainage basin simulation model is used to interpret the morphometry and historical evolution of Mancos Shale badlands in Utah. Field relationships and simulation modelling indicate that the badlands have resulted from rapid downcutting
