Readjustment of the stream profile where the stream channel is raised by the deposition of bed load.

The accumulation of stratigraphic sequences by deposition that stacks beds atop each other, building upwards during periods of balance between sediment supply and accommodation.

process of raising the level (grade) of a stream or river through the deposit of sediments.

a downward accumulation of stream-carried inorganic matter. Often has the effect of making the bed of a stream or flood plain rise. Also, a phase of forest biomass accumulation in the years that follow a harvest.
