Although the Lower Mississippi River has been intensively studied, few studies have investigated meandering processes in the river when the channel was considered to be relatively free of major human disturbance. This research is significant in that it provides a detailed examin…

The planform geometry of tidal channels is controlled by bidirectional flow, a fundamentally different process from that controlling the shape of meandering river channels. However, prior studies do not reach any consensus on how channel planforms differ in these two environment…
