About the Book

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 science and engineering institutions and both practical and theoretical aspects of mountain river research are addressed. The book is a valuable guide and source of information on problems of environmental planning and protection, river management and hazard assessment.

Table of Contents:
Recent developments and perspectives in mountain river research.- Human impact and exploitation of water resources in the Northern Alps (Tyrol and Bavaria).- Model investigations into the influence of renaturalization on sediment transport.- Bedload transport and discharge in the Erlenbach stream.- Sediment transport and water discharge during high flows in an instrumented watershed.- Luminophor experiments in the Saalach and Salzach rivers.- The downstream fining of gravel-bed sediments in the Alpine Rhine River.- River channel adjustment and sediment budget in response to a catastrophic flood event (Lainbach catchment, Southern Bavaria).- The influence of channel steps on coarse bed load transport in mountain torrents: case study using the radio tracer technique ‘PETSY’.- The significance of fluvial erosion, channel storage and gravitational processes in sediment production in a small mountainous catchment area.- An attempt at modelling suspended sediment concentration after storm events in an Alpine torrent.- Investigations of slope erosion in the Northern Limestone Alps.- Streambed dynamics and grain-size characteristics of tow gravel rivers of the Northern Apennines, Italy.- Discharge and fluvial sediment transport in a semi-arid high mountain catchment, Agua Negra, San Juan, Argentina.- Sediment transport and discharge in a high arctic catchment (Liefdefjorden, NW Spitsbergen).- Hydraulics and sediment transport dynamics controlling step-pool formation in high gradient streams: A flume experiment.- Short term temporal variations in bedload transport rates: Squaw Creek, Montana, USA and Nahal Yatir and Nahal Estemoa, Israel.- Measuring systems to determine the velocity field in and close to the roughness sublayer.- An attempt at determination of incipient bedload motion in mountain streams.- Quantification of textural particle characteristics by image analysis of sediment surfaces—examples from active and paleo-surfaces in steep, coarse-grained mountain environments.- Some considerations on debris flow rheology.
