Bedrock channels are important agents of erosion in mountainous areas, and understanding them is vital to the development of models of landscape evolution. Despite this, erosional sculpted forms in bedrock channels are a neglected area of research and are at present poorly described. This heavily illustrated book provides a comprehensive description and classification of bedforms in bedrock channels over a range of spatial scales and develops a consistent terminology, placing the study of sculpted forms in bedrock on a more rational footing alongside that of depositional bedforms. The authors then use the descriptions to define general principles governing the development of sculpted forms. They also show that erosional features in bedrock provide a wealth of information regarding flow structures, erosion processes and the origins of bedforms.
