“…All of the equations can be directly framed in terms of the channel's hydraulic properties, in particular its lateral transport capacity that quantifies the amount of material that the river can move in lateral migration per unit time and channel length. The distribution of sediment age within the channel belt is equivalent to the distribution of times to return to the origin, which has a right-hand tail that follows a power-law scaling with an exponent of <span class="inline-formula"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1" display="inline" overflow="scroll" dspmath="mathml"><mrow><mo>-</mo><mn mathvariant="normal">3</mn><mo>/</mo><mn mathvariant="normal">2</mn></mrow></math><span><svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="28pt" height="14pt" class="svg-formula" dspmath="mathimg" md5hash="5c921689548074359302237e3b62157c"><svg:image xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="esurf-13-97-2025-ie00001.svg" width="28pt" height="14pt" src="esurf-13-97-2025-ie00001.png"/></svg:svg></span></span>. …”
