How Waterfalls Shape Mountain Rivers

In new research published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, scientists from the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), and USGS investigate the interplay between water flow, sediment transport, and river-bed erosion in mountainous rivers, offering insight into how self-formed waterfalls can significantly influence the longitudinal profiles of mountain rivers.
