Over a recent period of 35 years (1984-2019), we quantified those C fluxes in one of the most active meandering rivers on Earth, the Ucayali River, Peru, South America. We used map time series combined with above-ground forest C data to derive the

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meander
The degree of meandering of the channel of a river, stream, or other watercourse is measured by its sinuosity. The sinuosity of a watercourse is the ratio of the length of the channel to the straight line down-valley distance. Streams or rivers with a single channel and sinuosities of 1.5 or more are defined as meandering streams or rivers.

This is an animation of the fast-changing Ucayali River in Peru built from satellite imagery over the past 30 years. See also meander maps of the Mississippi River, available as prints from 20x200.

https://www.nps.gov/articles/meandering-stream.htm
A meandering stream has a single channel that winds snakelike through its valley, so that the distance 'as the stream flows' is greater than 'as the crow flies.'. As water flows around these curves, the outer edge of water is moving faster than the inner. This creates an erosional surface on the outer edge (a cut bank) and a depostional surface

Meandering to the Source. March 30, 2021. In Turkey, the spring-fed Büyük Menderes River twists and curves its way for 615 kilometers (382 miles) from its source near the town of Sandikli to the Aegean Sea. It is the longest river to discharge into the Aegean. The river's sinuous path captured the attention of historians and geographers of

Why Rivers Move. March 07, 2023. [Note that this article is a transcript of the video embedded above.] This is a map of the Mississippi River drafted by legendary geologist Harold Fisk. It's part of a fairly unassuming geological report that he wrote in 1944 for Army Corps of Engineers, but the maps he produced are anything but run of the mill.

In the years since the official discovery of Peru's Boiling River, it has fallen under threat due to the ruthless exploitation of the Amazon's natural resources. Kelly McMillan of National Geographic described how when they first visited in 2011, it was a two-hour drive followed by a canoe ride and an hour's hike to reach the source. Just three

A mysterious site spans the landscape of Pisco Valley, Peru. On the same plateau where the famous Nazca Lines are found, thousands of holes have been carved into rock, creating a band that stretches further than a mile. It is unknown who carved these holes, or why they were created, but it is clear that this vast creation must have been a painstaking job, requiring many hours of manpower.

Many of us live near a river. Over time, we grow accustomed to observing its flow at various times of the year as well as the path it follows. In many cases, we simply enjoy watching the wildlife or the beautiful glossy hue a river casts in the evening light. Even through these observations, a river can seem locked in place.

https://onegeology.org/kids2/english/earthProcesses/meanderingRivers.html
Meandering rivers. Rivers flowing over gently sloping ground begin to curve back and forth across the landscape. These are called meandering rivers. Meandering rivers erode sediment from the outer curve of each meander bend and deposit it on an inner curve further down stream. This causes individual meanders to grow larger and larger over time.

https://worldrivers.net/2020/04/04/meandering-when-rivers-snake-in-the-landscape/
Meandering is common in the rivers in the lower reaches of the rivers, where the river changes its course through time. Meandering is a process of simultaneous erosion and sediment deposition.This process is of crucial importance to the maintaining of biodiversity.. Rivers that carry fine-grained silt and clay in suspension tend to be narrow and deep and to develop pronounced, sinuous curves

ABSTRACT. About fifteen years ago, a perspective emerged in the social scientific study of disasters in which an overall reconsideration of disasters as "extreme events" was undertaken. That is, disasters began to be interpreted less as the result of geophysical extremes such as storms, earthquakes, avalanches, droughts, etc., and much more
