		Further, modelled rivers were found to exhibit an on average higher scaling anisotropy with higher variance than natural rivers, which reflects the presence of fewer channels and the absence of a long-scale sinuosity in the modelled rivers (Sapozhnikov et al., 1998).
		Although the quantitative description of braided river phenomena is at present dominated by static planform characteristics, topographic characteristics and the dynamic behaviour of the morphology are equally important for describing braiding.
		Observed discrepancies between the modelled and the laboratory river, which are not depicted by characteristic scales, include the fact that channels appear straighter in the modelled river than in the laboratory river and the fact that differences in the topographic features don’t only occur in their size, but also in their shapes and orientation.

	ABSTRACT: Sediment size variation in a braided reach of the Sunwapta River, Alberta, Canada (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The downstream diminution of sediment size in a braided reach of the proglacial Sunwapta River, Alberta, Canada, was examined statistically to identify the sources of the observed variation about an expected exponential relationship between clast size and distance.
		Major deviations from this hypothetical relationship, such as a relative increase in grain-size, may be attributed to the effects of tributary sediment inputs and downstream changes in channel behaviour, whilst local variation is associated with complex patterns of sediment deposition at a bar scale.
		A comparison of diminution coefficients, calculated for separate lithologies and for subreaches along the river, with those obtained from previous studies, is used as an indicator of river behaviour and sediment transport processes.
