SAND-DUNE GEOMETRY OF LARGE RIVERS DURING FLOODS. DISCUSSION AND CLOSURE

Two discussions of a paper with the aforementioned title by Julien and Klaassen, published in this journal (Volume 121, Number 9, September 1995), are presented. The discussions focus on the analysis of bed forms during floods. Discussers Amsler and Garcia offer insights on the Parana River tunnel study, highlighting two main points: 1) the difference between large and small dunes; and 2) transition from lower-regime to upper-regime plane bed. Discusser Neill has worked extensively in the area of analysis of bed forms during floods and offers four findings from an investigation at Red Deer River. Discussions are followed by closure from the authors.
