The aims of this study are to identify variables as well as thresholds controlling different obstacle mark morphometries and to incorporate these into a simple statistical model. To achieve this, available field and laboratory studies on that topic
are reviewed first. Secondly, the results of laboratory flume experiments are analysed and compared with other available laboratory and field data. The results of this work have shown a significant relationship between the morphometry of fluvial obstacle marks
levels of 5 floods are denoted by flood-marks, with one of these events additionally documented by old photographs. The main challenge is the reconstruction of historic floodplain conditions and modifications influencing the cross-section area
