Dynamics and geomorphology of mountain rivers

The book concentrates on hydrological and geomorphological processes in mountain rivers with the majority of the contributions focusing on the Alps. Methods and results of research in solid load transport and river bed dynamics are presented by international authors. The authors come from earth scie...
