Features: This book applies the basic theories of water and sediment to research in fluvial geomorphology. It systematically explores fundamental issues in fluvial dynamic geomorphology and potential solutions, as an attempt, and conducts extensive descriptions and simulations of fluvial geomorphological processes. The book consists of nine chapters: Chapter 1 is an introduction; from Chapter 2 to Chapter 9, it focuses on introducing dynamic methods for describing river systems and basins, terraces and ancient river channels, river-related relationships, river-type processes, and estuarine geomorphological processes. Finally, it introduces simulations of fluvial geomorphology. The book not only reflects the author's recent research findings but also provides in-depth and systematic reviews of representative international achievements, such as elaborating on the advantages and disadvantages of existing theories and their relationships, discussing future trends in fluvial dynamic geomorphology, and offering novel insights into aspects such as the relationship between basin sediment production and slope development, the response relationship between basins and rivers, general patterns of river-type development, and the formation mechanisms of mid-channel bar river types. The book features innovative topics, rich and comprehensive content, detailed explanations, and exhaustive references at the end of each chapter. It serves as a valuable reference for researchers working in fields such as geography, agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, environment, and resources, as well as for faculty and students in related disciplines at universities. It can also be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in relevant fields.
