    Abstract The lateral migration of a river meander is driven by erosion on the outer bank and deposition on the inner bank, both of which are affected by shear stress (and therefore channel slope) through complex morphodynamic feedbacks. To test the sensitivity of lateral migration to channel slope, we quantify slope change induced by glacial isostatic adjustment along the Red River (North Dakota, USA and Manitoba, Canada) and two of its tributaries over the past 8.5 ka. We demonstrate a statistically significant, positive relationship between normalized cutoff count, which we interpret as a proxy for channel lateral migration rate, and slope change. We interpret this relationship as the signature of slope change modulating the magnitude of shear stress on riverbanks, suggesting that slope changes that occur over thousands of years are recorded in river floodplain morphology.
