“…Over shorter time scales, cutoffs act as "shot" perturbations [Camporeale et al, 2008] to river morphodynamics by increasing the bed slope and stream power both upstream and downstream [Biedenharn et al, 2000;Hooke, 2004;Jugaru Tiron et al, 2009], injecting downstream pulses of sediment excavated from the floodplain during chute channel formation [Fuller et al, 2003;Zinger et al, 2011], and substantially altering the local channel planform and hydrodynamics [Hooke, 2004;Zinger et al, 2013]. Considerable attention has been given to local cutoff-induced channel response immediately adjacent to and within cutoffs [Hooke, 1995;Fuller et al, 2003;Zinger et al, 2011Zinger et al, , 2013 as well as factors controlling their occurrence [Grenfell et al, 2014;Eekhout and Hoitink, 2015;Słowik, 2016]. However, the spatial and temporal extents to which cutoff perturbations induce nonlocal morphologic change remain unknown, largely due to difficulties of observing morphodynamics over sufficiently large spatial scales and high temporal frequencies to capture changes [Winkley, 1977;Hooke, 1995].…”
