ternate-bar growth. Where paleocurrent data can be
obtained from successive bar deposits1 it may be
possible to determine sinuosity fr om the change in
orientation of the bars, using the sinuosity equation
of Miall (1976).
8.2.5 Gravel-Bed, Meandering River
As shown by jackson (1978), high-sinuosity rivers
range from steep, torrential, gravel-bed rivers, to
sluggish, suspended-load streams. Gravel-bed me-
