This book, first published in 1979, collects together a key set of papers from the 10th Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium. They analyse fluvial theory, channel processes, stream adjustments, paleo-adjustments and channel adjustments.

Dynamic Adjustments of Alluvial Channels Chih Ted Yang and Charles C.S. Song Part 2. Channel Processes 4. Hydraulic Adjustment of the East Fork River, Wyoming to the Supply of Sediment Edmund D. Andrews 5. Distribution of Boundary Shear Stress in Rivers James C. Bathurst 6. Bank Processes, Bed Material Movement and Planform Development in a Meandering River Colin R. Thorne and John LewinPart 3. Adjustments to Natural Events 7. Event Frequency and Morphological Adjustment of Fluvial Systems in Upland Britain A.M. Harvey, D.H. Hitchcock and D.J. Hughes 8. Effects of Large Organic Debris on Channel Form and Fluvial Processes in the Coastal Redwood Environment Edward A. Keller and Taz Tally 9. Forest-Fire Devegetation and Drainage Basin Adjustments in Mountainous Terrain William D. White and Steven G. Wells Part 4. Interpretation of Paleo-Adjustments 10. Slack-Water Deposits: A Geomorphic Technique for the Interpretation of Fluvial Paleohydrology Peter C. Patton, Victor R. Baker and R. Craig Kochel 11.
