Fluvial Environments and Processes

At its simplest definition, "fluvial" refers to an environment found and shaped by a river. The sedimentary nature of fluvial environments results in created, destroyed, and eroded landforms and deposits unique to this environment. 

This ​A-Level Fluvial Environments and Processes module will enable students to:

  • Define the three river processes
  • Identify the different types of river landforms
  • List several causes of flooding, and
  • Explain river management strategies to avoid flooding.
