Abstract

A wide set of methods may be applied for detailed spatial-temporal analysis of floodplain formation within different parts of river valley. Some results of various methods use for the assessment of deposition rates on the floodplain are presented. Perspectives of floodplain deposition rates application for the fundamental and applied investigations are described.
