Geomorphic factors significance for changes in channel types and channel load composition of large mountain rivers (with special reference to the Katun'and Chuya rivers)
Abstract
Special features of channel profiles as well as channel types variation with the river length and changes in bedload composition in large mountain rivers are discussed with view to geomorphic conditions taking the Katun' and Chuya rivers as the case study. Criteria of changes of one type of channel into another are obtained for rivers with drainage basin area in excese of 1000 km2.
