meanderpy is a Python implementation of a … meanderpy is a Python implementation of a simple kinematic model of meandering, based on the Howard and Knutson (1984) model. In contrast with previous implementations, we assume a simple linear relationship between curvature and migration rate and, using time-lapse satellite imagery, show that the model predicts 55% of the variance in migration rates in seven rivers of the Amazon Basin. It also predicts the formation of autogenic counter point bars: deposits related to channel segments along which the curvature and migration rate vectors have opposing orientations. These finer-grained deposit types tend to form on the upstream side of high-curvature, short bends that rapidly translate downstream. Wrapping simple geomorphic surfaces around the centerlines allows us to build three-dimensional stratigraphic models of both fluvial and submarine meandering systems. fluvial and submarine meandering systems. +
