| Definitionskos:definition | Quasi-rhythmic, erosional or depositional units formed at the interface between sediment and a lower-density medium (e.g. water, air, ice or pyroclastic flows). BEDFORMS constitute the bulk of sediment transport (Robert, 2014) and scale to changing flow properties (e.g. Simons and Richardson, 1966). BEDFORMS often develop over BARFORMS in response to changing flow conditions (Simons and Richardson, 1966). |
