📣 New paper: Quantifying river bed roughness.

💧Multiple metrics are required to fully describe river bed roughness.
💧River beds with differing features can be distinguished using roughness data.
💧Potential implications on flow resistance and sediment transport.

Excited about what’s to come following this workshop in Durham!
Great couple of days thinking about roughness and geomorphology. Thanks everyone for being so enthusiastic, @geogdurham.bsky.social for funding and @houseago.bsky.social for organising.

🚨Interested in flow resistance in rough-bed rivers? Our new paper reviews different approaches from within and beyond geomorphology for calculating flow resistance from channel topography: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... With @richhardy.bsky.social and others.
