The Effect of Structure and Lithology on Aspect Ratio of Fluvial Channels: A Field-Based Quantitative Study of the New River in Three Geologic Provinces

Fluvial channel geometry is controlled by the interaction of a number of geologic and hydraulic variables. The width of mixed alluvial-bedrock channels generally is a function of discharge, with variations due to local conditions. The aspect ratio (width/depth) of channels is heavily influenced by...
