Bedform crest bifurcations in subaqueous bedforms
Bedform dynamics is driven by the mutual adjustment of hydrodynamics, topography and sediment transport. A number of morphological irregularities, i.e. bed defects (cf. Huntley et al., 2008), occur over bedform fields, and have been detected and characterized both in subaqueous environments and in aeolian systems (Kocurek et al., 2010), as well as in flume experiments (Venditti et al., 2005).
