Vertical Accretion is the process of sediment deposition that occurs incrementally upward on a floodplain surface during overbank flow events, distinguishing it from lateral accretion by involving vertical build-up of alluvial material perpendicular to the flow direction rather than lateral migration of channel-derived deposits.
