Estimating the Sediment Yield Due to Bend Migration in Meandering Rivers

Abstract

The aim of this research is to compile a database of meander shifting observed in US rivers over periods of 30 to 60 years that can be used to estimate possible sediment yields due to bend movement. The database is based on an existing Transportation Research Board database, but with improved quality control and accuracy. The potential for using the database to make estimates of bank erosion sediment yield will be explored towards the end of the study.
