[email protected] (Elizabeth H. Dingle) 11 12 Abstract 13 14 Compared with temperate regions, much less is known about the dynamics of tropical river 15 systems. Tropical rivers are typically characterised by pronounced seasonal changes in 16 precipitation, large sediment loads and high rates of lateral channel migration across often 17 very low-gradient and densely populated floodplains.
