    1. According to the Liu, Simons-Richardson, and Van Rijn methods, the document predicts ripples will form based on the given channel parameters. Ripple dimensions are expected to range from 0.0075-0.03m in height and 0.075-0.15m in wavelength. 2. Given new channel parameters, mega ripples and dunes are predicted to form, with ripple heights around 0.08m, wavelengths around 1.5m, dune heights around 0.35m, and wavelengths around 21.9m. The effective bed roughness is calculated as 0.15m. 3. Using the Engelund-Hansen, White
