πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ The Vardar River is the main watercourse of Macedonia, flowing through the center of Skopje and forming a key geomorphological feature of the urban landscape. In the Skopje area, the river flows along a tectonic fault that has influenced its channel and valley. The riverbed is mainly composed of Quaternary sediments such as gravels, sands, and clays, which accumulated during the Holocene, when the Vardar became the principal drainage of the central Balkans.

In the city section of Skopje, the river channel is strongly affected by human activity and bank regulation. Nevertheless, natural geomorphological features can still be observed, such as meanders, gravel and sand deposits, and small erosion terraces. These sediments provide valuable information about historical floods and sedimentary processes that shaped the urban Vardar valley.

Geologically, the Vardar River is also interesting due to tectonic activity. The Skopje area lies in a seismically active zone, and the river often reveals traces of minor faults and subsidence in the valley.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Meanders are used to characterize specific types of rivers based on their design. There are three types of tributaries: braided, straight and curved or serpentine. In the rivers that flow through the floodplain, meandering are usually easier to form when the slope is small.

The sediment is usually deposited in the bump in a zigzag fashion and then moves from there to the shore. In the recesses, erosion dominates, and it is clear how the filling retreats due to the centrifugal force. When the advance of the fill in the convex zone is combined with the retreat of the concave zone, the river course begins to migrate and meandering occur.

As the river moves over the porous, permeable surface, the edges of the natural passage through which the river continues to flow are eroded. As it wears out, it takes on a characteristic concave shape, which creates a curve.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ In meandering rivers, areas of fast and slow flow alternate. On the impact banks, where water removes material, deep pools and steep walls form. On the opposite bank, where the current is slower, sediment is deposited, creating alluvial formations. The flow dynamics are reflected not only in vertical changes but also in horizontal shifts, as the river channel migrates laterally. As the course shifts and meanders widen, logs or even whole trees enter the river, creating obstacles that direct the force of the current toward the opposite bank, often forming the basis for a new meander.

Depositional and impact banks are two distinct types of riverbanks that occur near meanders and play a key role in river sedimentation.

The depositional bank, also called a depositional terrace, forms primarily through the accumulation of sediments along the riverbank. These sediments are carried by the river and settle when the flow velocity decreases. This type of bank is usually wide and gently sloping. It is common in areas where the river slows down and sediment tends to accumulate.

In contrast, the impact bank is a bank exposed to strong river erosion, mainly in meanders. These banks are typically steep and often have rocky or sharply sloping surfaces. Water strongly shapes the form of the impact bank, and erosion removes material from it, which is then deposited downstream on the depositional bank.

1) How has the Vardar River been influenced by the geological composition of the area it flows through?

2) Take a photo of the river from the starting coordinates and illustrate in it how it would naturally evolve and migrate if it wasn't regulated by human intervention. Send me your drawing with your answers.

3) Determine the right river bank type of each waypoint location (types explained above).

4) Examine the surroundings at each waypoint. Do you observe any evidence of water erosion along the banks? If so, please indicate the locations.

5) Take a photo of you or your GPS device with the river from initial coordinates and attach it to your log.
