The relation of chain length to chain curvature in natural channel networks

The relation of chain length to chain curvature in natural channel networks Analyses of three different areas indicate that chain curvature controls chain length indirectly through valley‐side plan form. It follows that, since concave chains on one side of a stream are usually matched by convex chains on the other side, tributary development and abstraction do not occur independently along either side of a stream, as has hitherto been assumed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Earth Surface Processes and Landforms Wiley

Abstract

Analyses of three different areas indicate that chain curvature controls chain length indirectly through valley‐side plan form. It follows that, since concave chains on one side of a stream are usually matched by convex chains on the other side, tributary development and abstraction do not occur independently along either side of a stream, as has hitherto been assumed.
