Antidune Trivia
G.K. Gilbert coined the term "antidune" in a 1914 US Geological Survey Professional Paper entitled "Transportation of debris by running water". The paper reports the results of a series of early flume studies* that Gilbert performed at the University of California in Berkeley. I would love to get a copy of this paper for my library.
*flume studies are a method of studying bedforms and channelized flow. An artificial channel is set up in a laboratory and then flows of various speeds and depths are run through the channel to see how the channel bed interacts with the flow.
