sediment transport, gravel-bed rivers, Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts.

Rivers draining the Czech part of the Flysch Carpathians have been deeply incised over the last 100 years. Regional geological settings predispose to large sediments supply in to the rivers system. In case of the sediment deficit, river channels in the weak flysch bedrock are affected by high rates of incision. Focusing on the incision processes and causes affecting the sediment supply and transport through the river system, we studied the contemporary changes in the Morávka, Ostravice and Olše River basins.
