introduces the reader to key conceptual tools with which to analyse rivers. We will examine what fluvial geomorphology is, and introduce the notion of reading the landscape



considers process relationships at the catchment-scale, emphasizing patterns and linkages within drainage basins and along longitudinal profiles



examines the fundamental energy conditions that fashion the geomorphology of rivers, emphasizing how these relationships vary at different positions in catchments
