You are welcome ☺️ I think it can be helpful to think of river islands as sediment, and hence consider how they depend on hybrid basin-scale processes (land use, water use, etc.), how and why they form and disappear, and what kind of practices and politics operate in/on/around them.

Absolutely! I think thinking of them as sediment also opens up intellectual/aesthetic decisions in mapping and surveying which are more aspiration and material that might’ve been given credit for. Also, I pretty much am centering my book on this! 🤭
