- Abstract
The article reports on the study conducted by Kathryn J. Amos and colleagues on the anabranching of Fitzroy River catchment in northeastern, Australia. Researchers conducted a catchment-scale investigation of the 143,000 square kilometers river to determine whether mapped and remotely sensed data can provide useful information about the characteristics of anabranching. They used mapped channel network, digital elevation models, geology maps and rainfall data, and found that a number of anabranching were manifested on the river wherein it become single channel downstream of a rapid valley narrowing, thus adding to the previous descriptions of anabranching morphologies.
