Cover Story: The development of fluvial systems over long time scales is a complex interplay of tectonic, climatic, and lithological factors. The initiation and location of fluvial channels in the landscape are less well understood. Recently-exposed surfaces provide opportunities to determine factors controlling fluvial channel initiation. During the Würm Last Glacial Maximum (c. 20 ka), the Ain valley in eastern France transformed into a large proglacial lake. Following deglaciation, new drainage channels formed on the drained lake floor. Extensive morphological as well as sedimentological mapping and lithogenetic interpretation of the valley fill enable the determination of the forcing factors of fluvial channel initiation. The location of the postglacial channels is determined by the initial topography of the lake floor and the lithological variability of the sediments. View this paper
