Morphology of an Arctic River Bar.

River bars are a common landscape element in the valleys of the coastal plain of northern Alaska. They are especially numerous in the Colville River delta, the largest delta north of the Brooks Range. Most river bars in the Arctic are submerged for only a short period of time during river breakup, a...
