The project will address the controversy surrounding the impact of              base level change on channel response, on the magnitude of the                  upstream influence, on the nature of valley-filled deposits associated          with base-level rise, and on the nature and distribution of                     sedimentary deposits on shelves of different slopes, by a series of             experimental studies in large flumes and in a rainfall-erosion                  facility.  The objectives are to determine:  a) the effect of base-             level change on meandering and braided streams; b) the effect of the            rate and magnitude of base-level change; c) the effect of subaqueous            slopes on channel response; d) for different magnitudes of base-level           changes, the upstream progression of erosion and deposition for                 valleys of different slopes and widths; and e) the long-term effect of          grade-control structures on valley morphology, channel stability, and           sediment yield.  The results will be applied to erosion control                 measures that can reduce sediment yields and stabilize actively                 eroding steeplands for long periods of time.
