Braided vs Anastomosed Rivers: Geomorphology and Ecology Explained

Most rivers are simple, single-channel systems, but not all. In this episode, filmed at the River Feshie in the Cairngorms of Scotland, I explore the science behind braided rivers and how they form through pulses of water, sediment deposition, and dynamic erosion. You'll learn the differences between braided and anastomosed rivers, their origins in geology and hydrology, and why they matter for conservation scientists and ecologists. Topics covered include: Sediment transport dynamics Channel morphology and braided bar formation Erosion and lateral river migration Ecological implications of river complexity This video is ideal for conservation researchers, river ecologists, and advanced students studying fluvial geomorphology and freshwater systems.
