1 A floodplain is the flat land immediately surrounding a stream channel and innundated at 5mes of high flow.
2 Aggrada5on occurs when deposi5on is greater than erosion. Aggrada&on of the Rivière des Ha! Ha! in Quebec
3 Incision occurs when erosion is greater than deposi5on. Broadstreet Hollow Stream, NY
4 Floodplain sediments form by either: (1) deposi&on of overbank suspended sediment, or (2) deposi&on of bedload as the channel migrates across its valley
5 Levees The boundary between channel and floodplain may be the site of a natural levee (a broad, low ridge of alluvium built along the side of a channel by debris laden floodwater) Levees form when debris laden floodwater overflows the channel and slows as it moves onto the floodplain.
6 Flooding & Sedimenta&on
7 Levee Deposits Flood stage Coarser sediment Finer sediment Finer sediment The area adjacent to and outside of the channel serves as an overflow area for excess water and sediment
8 meander review! higher veloci&es on outside of bends lead to cutbank erosion lower veloci&es on insides of bends lead to point bar deposi&on
9 Point Bar Deposits
10 meandering oxbows (sloughs) meander belts songhua r., china
11 Meandering stream flowing from top of screen to borom

22 Meander scars (scroll bars) Oxbow Lake cutoff
23 The river cuts downward to form a V shaped valley. The river starts to meander
24 River cuts from side to side eating into the valley walls Floodplain starts to form
25 Floodplain continues forming, increased sinuosity
26 Floodplain Alluvial deposits
27 Floodplain landforms oxbow splay scrolls leveee backswamp
28 Oxbow lake near the Chippewa River, Eau Claire, Wisconsin
29 Splay A deposit of coarse material resul&ng from a levee breach during a flood.
30 Meander scroll A meander scroll consists of long, curving, parallel ridges (scroll bars) that are deposited during point bar growth songhua r., china
31 Side looking radar (SLAR) image of floodplain of an Amazon River tributary in 1971/2; flow is toward lower right.
32 floodplain landforms levee: coarse sediment deposited near the channel during overbank flow backswamp: low lying area separated from channel by natural levee
33 Alluvial Fans when streams encounter a sudden change in gradient and confinement, e.g. leaving mountains, they o^en deposit alluvial fans why? transport capacity suddenly decreases
34 Alluvial fans tend to be coarse grained at their head. At their edges, however, they can be rela5vely fine grained.
35 alluvial fans bajada: coalescing alluvial fans death valley
36 river terraces Many stream valleys contain one or more rela&vely flat alluvial terraces that lie above the floodplain.
37 River Terraces streams may create deposi&onal landforms (especially floodplains) and then start to incise terraces are abandoned floodplains
38 River Terraces
39 River Terraces Changes in whether a stream is eroding or deposi&ng in a given loca&on can be caused by several different phenomena: tectonic upli^ change in base level downstream change in climate modifying system s discharge which brings us to river response

57 River Response exponen&al decay of post erup&on sediment yield
58 River Response Pinatubo erup&on effects were generally natural phenomena BUT, Skokomish changes were not: what can be done about it? river restora&on: the science of properly restoring (as much as possible) rivers to their natural state the hardest part: what was the natural state?
