Deltaic Avulsion

Deltaic Avulsion is a geomorphological process denoting the sudden and permanent diversion of a fluvial channel within a deltaic system from one course to a new, topographically lower pathway, distinguished from other channel adjustments by its abrupt nature and reorganization of sediment dispersal patterns.
