Each chapter in the book has been specifically commissioned to represent areas in which recent progress has been made in the field. The topics covered also represent a coherent progression through the principal areas of the subject (hydraulics; sediment transport; river morphology; tools and methods; applications of science).

• Definitive review of the current knowledge of gravel-bed rivers
• Coverage of both fundamental and applied topics
• Edited by leading academics with contributions from key researchers
• Thoroughly edited for quality and consistency to provide coherent and logical progression through the principal areas of the subject
