Self‐constraining of low‐energy rivers explains low channel mobility and tortuous planforms

Abstract Meandering rivers are abundant on Earth, from the largest rivers to the smallest tributaries. The classical view of meandering rivers is a sinuous planform with rounded bends, which grow and migrate until they are cut‐off. However, many low‐energy meandering rivers have planforms that are m...
