The relation between climate and river processes, landforms and deposits during the Quaternary
The extent to which river processes and morphology are dependent on climate is an old question. When looking at large time scales climatic cyclicity seems to coincide with alternating events in fluvial development. However, the shorter the time scales at which fluvial development is considered, the...

The extent to which river processes and morphology are dependent on climate is an old question. When looking at large time scales climatic cyclicity seems to coincide with alternating events in fluvial development.

Ultimately, it appears that the response time of river processes to climatic change may restrict the sensitivity of the fluvial systems to adapt to short climatic oscillations.
