Abstract: Abstract Flooding and flood inundation are key hydrological characteristics of meander Loop Rivers. However, the effects of extreme floods on river morphology and spatial patterns of erosion and deposition are poorly understood. A detailed geomorphologic change detection and sediment/erosion process caused by an extreme flood (more than 100-year recurrence interval discharge) on 14 Apr 2016 was surveyed for a single urban meander loop of the Karoon River, Iran. The studied meander loop is located next to the city of the Ahavz and has a centerli...
