Professors Miller and Wolman will examine an area along the                Potomac River in eastern West Virginia that was struck by a                     catastrophic flood in November 1985.  They will study the ways                  physiographic, hydraulic, and hydrologic conditions determine specific          erosion features on alluvial river bottomlands.  Flow simulation                modelling will be used to produce patterns of river dynamics that will          be compared with documented patterns of erosion and deposition on the           valley floor produced by the flood.                                                  Catastrophic floods are major determinants of the evolution of             river valley floors, but they are poorly incorporated into models of            floodplain evolution.  This research will augment our understanding of          floodplain processes.  The results of this research will be of                  considerable value for scientists and policy makers interested in               floodplain land use and management.
