This book contains 31 papers, with authors from 13 countries, who participated in the Sixth International Conference on Fluvial Sedimentology held in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1977. True to the nature of these quadrennial conferences, the papers in this book discuss a broad range of fluvial subjects that include the charSpecial publication ... of the International Association of Sedimentologists ;no. 28.River sedimentsCongressesSedimentologyCongressesElectronic books.River sedimentsSedimentology551.3/53551.35Rogers J(John),1944-896591Smith Norman D(Norman Dwight)896592International Conference on Fluvial Sedimentology(6th :1997 :Cape Town, South Africa)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910146128003321Fluvial sedimentology VI2003159UNINA
