## Abstract We develop a new method for analysis of meandering channels based on planform sinuosity. This analysis objectively identifies three channelβreach lengths based on sinuosity measured at those lengths: the length of typical, simple bends; the length of long, often compound bends; and the
Previous studies of meandering gravel-bed rivers have illustrated a wide range of bar types. The River Tywi of South Wales shows that significant variations of accretionary style can also occur withiii a single river. There is a downstream decrease in the proportion of lateral bars to point bars and
