I. Controls on River Styles Distributions
Background
Synopsis of Topic
- Longitudinal profile derivation
- Placing River Types onto Long Profile
- Presentations: Controls on Patterns of River Styles
Why We’re Covering It
Being able to map River Styles is one thing, but being able to explain their spatial pattern and arrangement on the basis of controls is a critical skill and essential in contextualizing behavior and natural capacity for adjustment.
Learning Outcomes
This topics helps us with the following learning outcomes for the workshop:
- Develop an understanding of geomorphic approaches to catchment-scale analysis of river systems as a biophysical platform for coherent and proactive river restoration planning – show how the River Styles framework presents a scaffolded approach to address these issues
- Through lectures, laboratory exercises, field visits and discussions, develop a working knowledge of Stage 1 of the River Styles framework (river character and behaviour, analysis of catchment-scale river patterns)
