Morphodynamic types of channel of the Upper foeman: environments of formation and hydromorphological characteristics

Abstract

Channel morphology and dynamics were analyzed in the upper reaches of the Neman River from the source downstreams (within the boundaries of Byelorussia) and revealed regular changes in the channel's principal characteristics depending on the river discharge and position in different geomorphological regions. The channel is divided into segments differing in dominant morphodynamic type, and in kind and intensity of the channel's deformations.
