Recent aerial reconnaissance surveys and subsequent
remote sensing mapping of Australia’s tropical rivers
identified alluvial gully erosion as a key sediment source
(Brooks et al. 2007; Knight et al. 2007). Gully erosion is
found to varying degrees within alluvial river types in
northern Australia, but it is most extensive on alluvial plains
of the larger rivers like the Mitchell, Leichhardt and
Nicholson Rivers, draining into the Gulf of Carpentaria.
However, very little is currently known about gully erosion
processes in these landscapes.
