Abstract

Man-induced channel changes within Alpine alluvial rivers are investigated. For the middle Arve river, a series of long profiles surveyed between 1856 and 1981 show deep and rapid degradation since the beginning of the 1950s. This tendency is related to gravel extraction, weir construction, and embankment, and is shown to characterize Alpine rivers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
