## Abstract Grainβsize distributions of bed material sediment in large alluvial rivers are required in various scientific and management applications, but characterizing gravel beds in navigable rivers is hampered by difficulties in sediment extraction. The newly developed and preliminarily tested
Data from Turkey Brook are used to demonstrate that the interaction between gravel bedforms, flow resistance and bedload transport is a dynamic one, both between and within hydrographs, and that creation of a significant component of form drag through construction of microforms (pebble clusters) may
The planned restoration of the lowermost 18 km of the Skjern river system (catchment area 2490 km 2 ) through re-meandering the river to its former course and the creation of a shallow lake and ponds is the largest river restoration project in Europe. An important aspect of the project planning and
