Abstract
The number of surface particles which become buried within the scour layer during a given event is counterbalanced by a similar number exposed from previously buried locations. This principle of equilibrium vertical exchange exists for all paired combinating of particle burial rates and exposure rates. It relates to problems of fluvial armour development, to reconstructions of hydrometric history of ungauged streams, and in the environmental evaluation of ancient clastic sediments. - from Authors
