@universeiswise Many people don't know rivers, and there are many fantastic resources on rivers with lots of details. I've chosen to focus most of my videos on the most basic concepts. Prep school students and their teachers appreciate videos at this level, and some more advanced students appreciate a clear explanation of the most basic processes. I strongly encourage others to make videos that meet other needs. Rivers are fascinating, complex features of great importance to society!
Thanks loads for the video! I'm glad I stumbled upon it. Helps for the exam I have Tomorrow!!! I'll be following your videos from now on. Thanks again!! ~Student @ Hillsborough Community College Tampa, FL
Thank you so much!!! The 30 minutes- explanation of my geomorphology professor about meandring rivers very confused me.Your short explanation was very helpful ...and fun!!!! Greatings from Germany!!!
Hy very educational video, question? if aluvial diamonds with sg of about 3.2 to normal rock of around 1.7 sg is floaded down river. Where will the diamonds likely to be deposited? sp
Yes, I don't talk about many of the very interesting details of meandering rivers. My goal with these videos is to provide a conceptual framework for understanding important processes. I also try to keep the video less that 4 minutes, and I really failed on this video even leaving out very important flow characteristics. Can I suggest you make a video with these details?
I teach university students, but the videos are designed to be accessible to anyone with a basic understanding of science. I'm glad you understood it! There are many more details about meandering rivers that I've covered here, so keep exploring.
Sumnerd; Excellent...brought back memories of my time at Michigan Tech. To talk about Gold (Au) in stream sediment, Nuggets are an anomaly being less than 1/2 of 1% of the gold found. Most is 1.2mm and smaller depending on the distance traveled from the source.
Erosion removes sediment. Larger, heavier grains can be left behind if the flow is too slow to move them. Thus, gold nuggets, which are heavier than most grains, can be concentrated on an erosional surface. However, they are part of the sediment because they are actual grains. "Erosion" is a process rather than a physical object, so it can't contain something like nuggets. By the way, good luck finding some. Feel free to send one my way...
I stumbled on your videos by accident while trying to find information on the Guadalupe River in Ingram, Texas. I'd like to know your pro opinion on the flood plains there. Curiosity. Just doing some Tejas reading. Thanks!
@Aidoplaydough "Billabong" is a much better term than "Oxbow Lake"! How many people know what an oxbow is? And "billabong" has a great sound to it. I think, though, that dry season lakes in channel meanders that flow during the wet season, but not the dry season, are also informally called billabongs. These are lakes only part of the year and often have sand deposits from wet-season flow - the ones I've seen in the Kimberley are mostly sandy.
you never talked about pools and riffles within the river which causes the formation of meanders and you never mentioned helicoidal flow in the explanation of the cross section but still it was a good explanation of how meanders work.
It missed the fact that meanders begin underwater, at the bottom of the water in the silt, and the deposited silt builds up and eventually becomes the new curved banks., which are later "pushed" out and accentuated as described
@universeiswise although that may have been harsh.... sumnerd i am sure you are a good american proffessor.... why not give us a little youtube clip on Standing Waves & their significance in deposition of sand and silt. . . i.e surfers & salmon!
You never failed I only watched the video because I had my A level exams the day after my original post so I was in the mood for more details because these exams need the more detailed answers but you video might be aimed at lower level student so you never failed and my exams are over now and meanders never turned up.
You have explained this very well! Thank you.
I love these videos I am finishing my degree right now in geology and I find I am learning still from these videos. Thanks from Nova Scotia!
And I started my education in this field this year and I am also excited
Seeing you make quality content even today, makes me respect you even more. thank you so much Ma'am. You explain it all with great clarity.
i love your videos! i get so excited about this stuff and you explain it wonderfully. just wanted to say THANKS!

I have a geomorphology exam tomorrow and your video is very helpful! Thank you!
thanks for the video. It summarized an entire lecture for me. thanks
Music
Fantastic!! It helps me a lot!!! Thank you so much for uploading these!!!!
Are gold nuggets found more often in the erosion or sediment?

Never heard of a Billabong, Isn't oxbow lake the correct term?
this short video explained everything I needed for my exam. postgraduate exam. thanks a lot
is this for university or high school students? I'm in high school and I understood about all of that

Is this meant for university or secondary students? I'm wondering why I'm learning it so in depth in school...
Excellent visual. Thanks!
Very well done. Appreciate the video.
thank you very much mam....i request you to explain some terminologies like river bluffs, gullied reparian tracts, entrenched meanders..rills, gullies
Great job...I mean this is a good point from which i can begin about meander river...
good explanation.thanks.
Thank you.. very informative n easy to understand
you never talked about pools and riffles within the river which causes the formation of meanders and you never mentioned helicoidal flow in the explanation of the cross section but still it was a good explanation of how meanders work.
thanks. i like it.very clear and informative..
Very nice explanation.
@XMARINEX9 yep i think this lecture is for prep school level, anyone who knows a river has this information intuitavly tuned in hours
THANX ALOT! Cheers from C.Idaho
Wonderful explaination ma'am...
Cheers for these videos
Lovely job!
It missed the fact that meanders begin underwater, at the bottom of the water in the silt, and the deposited silt builds up and eventually becomes the new curved banks., which are later "pushed" out and accentuated as described
would the silt here be fine grained or coarse grained and why?

Great lecture, very clear
meandring stream
That was great thank you !
Thank you.
I finnaly understand how its cut off! :D The drawing is really clear!
Thnx, it really helped!
River swimmer? Bank eroder? No trees were mentioned in the making of this video!
Grazie...
thank u so much ma'am
good one!
Keep on.that is good
well done
2:34 its called a Billabong in Australia for any aussies out there watching this :)
Interesting!!!
extremly helpfull
:))
who is watching this in 2021
thank u :)
Tomorrow I'm having exam.....because of this video....I got rid of reading so much stuff...!!
Wasser findet immer einen Weg.(Water is not stoped.)
ganz genau
meander !
13 year old vedio great mam
thank u so much ma'am
