Journal Article
van Dijk, W., Densmore, A., Singh, A., Gupta, S., Sinha, R., Mason, P., …Rai, S. (2016). Linking the morphology of fluvial fan systems to aquifer stratigraphy in the Sutlej-Yamuna plain of northwest India. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 121(2), 201-222. https://doi.org/10.1002/2015jf003720

The Indo–Gangetic foreland basin has some of the highest rates of groundwater extraction in the world, focused in the states of Punjab and Haryana in northwest India. Any assessment of the effects of extraction on groundwater variation requires under...

Swiftness of biomorphodynamics in Lilliput- to Giant-sized rivers and deltas (2015)
Journal Article
Kleinhans, M., Braudrick, C., Van Dijk, W., Van de Lageweg, W., Teske, R., & Van Oorschot, M. (2015). Swiftness of biomorphodynamics in Lilliput- to Giant-sized rivers and deltas. Geomorphology, 244, 56-73. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2015.04.022

Physical experiments of self-formed river channels and floodplains with live vegetation are pathways for understanding that complement numerical modelling. Recent experiments succeeded in creating braided rivers and dynamic meandering systems with cl... Read More about Swiftness of biomorphodynamics in Lilliput- to Giant-sized rivers and deltas.

Quantifiable effectiveness of experimental scaling of river- and delta morphodynamics and stratigraphy (2014)
Journal Article
Kleinhans, M., Van Dijk, W., Van de Lageweg, W., Hoyal, D., Markies, H., Van Maarseveen, M., …Cheshier, N. (2014). Quantifiable effectiveness of experimental scaling of river- and delta morphodynamics and stratigraphy. Earth-Science Reviews, 133, 43-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2014.03.001

Laboratory experiments to simulate landscapes and stratigraphy often suffer from scale effects, because reducing length- and time scales leads to different behaviour of water and sediment. Classically, scaling proceeded from dimensional analysis of t... Read More about Quantifiable effectiveness of experimental scaling of river- and delta morphodynamics and stratigraphy.

Bifurcation instability and chute cutoff development in meandering gravel-bed rivers (2014)
Journal Article
van Dijk, W., Schuurman, F., van de Lageweg, W., & Kleinhans, M. (2014). Bifurcation instability and chute cutoff development in meandering gravel-bed rivers. Geomorphology, 213, 277-291. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2014.01.018

Chute cutoffs reduce sinuosity of meandering rivers and potentially cause a transition from a single to a multiple channel river. The channel bifurcation of the main channel and the mouth of the incipient chute channel controls sediment and flow part...

Bank pull or bar push: what drives scroll-bar formation in meandering river? (2014)
Journal Article
van de Lageweg, W., van Dijk, W., Baar, A., Rutten, J., & Kleinhans, M. (2014). Bank pull or bar push: what drives scroll-bar formation in meandering river?. Geology, 42(4), 319-322. https://doi.org/10.1130/g35192.1

One of the most striking features of meandering rivers are quasi-regular ridges of the point bar, evidence of a pulsed lateral migration of meander bends. Scroll bars formed on the inner bend are preserved on the point-bar surface as a series of ridg... Read More about Bank pull or bar push: what drives scroll-bar formation in meandering river?.
