Description
Summary:The article is focused on great influence of disastrous floods on riverbeds processes and repartition of water flow between distributaries in the Amur basin rivers. In the result of morphological analysis of the Far eastern riverbeds and their dynamics the places with the most intensive riverbed reformations were revealed. The intensiveness of erosive-accumulative processes caused by the Amur flood in 2013 was estimated. Some upper reaches of secondary branches and estuaries of large tributaries were recognized as zones of increased accumulative alluviums in the Amur riverbed.
