FRG-SMRG Coastal rivers avulsion dataset

Colombera, Luca (2022) FRG-SMRG Coastal rivers avulsion dataset. University of Leeds. [Dataset] https://doi.org/10.5518/1148

Dataset description

The dataset includes: (1) measures of avulsion frequency based on the avulsion histories of 57 coastal-plain river systems, based on numbers of avulsion events, active or abandoned channel courses, and delta lobes, all considered per unit time; additional sets of avulsion-frequency proxies are based on normalization of these numbers relative to the size of study areas and to the number of distinct river systems that drain into them. (2) variables detailing some of the environmental boundary conditions and depositional contexts of the case studies. (3) metadata.
