Decades of change : contributions of geomorphology to fluvial and coastal engineering and management

Decades of change : contributions of geomorphology to fluvial and coastal engineering and management
Changing the face of the earth-engineering geomorphology
Applied geomorphology ; Coastal environment ; England ; Environment ; Environmental management ; Geotechnics ; Model ; River management ; Stream ; United Kingdom ; Years 1990-99
Major developments in the contribution of geomorphology to engineering and environmental management have taken place over the past ten years in the United Kingdom, particularly in the coastal and fluvial spheres. This paper is not focused
on the results of specific applied studies, though examples are given, but rather aims to show that the policy, social, and wider scientific context has a profound influence on the opportunities for contribution of geomorphology and the type of work that is done.

Fluvial geomorphology and river engineering : future roles utilizing a fluvial hydrosystems framework

Fluvial geomorphology and river engineering : future roles utilizing a fluvial hydrosystems framework
Changing the face of the earth-engineering geomorphology
Applied geomorphology ; Bank erosion ; Ecosystem ; Flood ; Floodplain ; Hydrosystem ; Impact ; Mass movement ; River management ; Scotland ; Stream ; United Kingdom
Rather than looking back and examining the linkage between geomorphology and engineering over the last few decades, this paper seeks to identify how fluvial geomorphologists can further their contribution to the field engineering and educate
engineers about the value of geomorphology. Areas in which geomorphologists will increasingly be able to complement engineers in river management include risk and environmental impact assessment, floodplain planning, river audits, determination of instream

The AA. examine the range of these cities developed in the tropics with reference to 1) their site-related problems, 2) the nature of geomorphological information required for specific ameliorating actions, and 3) the level of management required
for city maintenance. Management requires interfacing geomorphology with engineering practices and urban planning. They present case studies of cities ranging from those with limited problems and possible engineering and land-zoning solutions (Singapore

The magnitude-frequency concept in fluvial geomorphology : a component of a degenerating research programme?

The magnitude-frequency concept in fluvial geomorphology : a component of a degenerating research programme?
Magnitude and frequency in geomorphology
This paper presents a critique of that magnitude-frequency concept which defines an effective, or dominant event in terms of long-term sediment transport, and then associates this with channel morphology. A more appropriate geomorphological research
programme is suggested, which emphasises the continuing and spatially-distributed feedback between form and process. This is applicable to a wide range of geomorphological problems, in both unconsolidated materials and hard rock.
