This important book brings together eighteen cutting-edge research
papers first presented at the Second International Conference on
Braided Rivers. It includes the latest research on the dynamics,
deposits and ecology of these rivers.
* Essential reading for geomorphologists, earth scientists,
engineers and ecologists with a pure and applied interest in the
study, modelling and management of braided rivers.
