Morphodynamic signatures of braiding mechanisms as expressed through change in sediment storage in a gravel-bed river

Previous flume-based research on braided channels has revealed four classic mechanisms that produce braiding: central bar development, chute cutoff, lobe dissection, and transverse bar conversion. The importance of these braiding mechanisms relative to other morphodynamic mechanisms in shaping braid...
