Rocky coasts in the Surrentine Peninsula and in the Isle of Capri (Italy) are subject to different rates of recession in terms of time and space. Two major morphologies are recognised : sloping shore platform and plunging cliffs. - (NF)
to effectively replicate the different mechanisms. These experiment roughly emulate natural fluvial processes including aggradation, lateral erosion, degradation, knickpoint retreat, ponding, and overflow. The experiments address landscape morphology
Morphological and analytical data corresponding to several profiles from 2 mangrove systems in the Brazilian state of São Paulo were examined for evidence of pedogenetic processes. The AA. demonstrate that in these 2 estuarine systems active
The AA. studied samples of dust and topsoils in various agroecological zones, from the north to the south of Ghana, focussing mainly on the mineralogy of these materials. Some data about grain sizes and morphology of the samples are also presented
Morphologic features obtained from Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data, integrated with geologic information, are emphasized in this paper in order to provide the basis for understanding the development of the lowest Amazon drainage basin
This paper presents an analysis of amounts, characteristics and morphological impact of large woody debris (LWD) in the Tres Arroyos stream, draining an old-growth forested basin of the Chilean Southern Andes. The AA. compare the results
Advance of part of the margin of the Greenland ice sheet across a proglacial moraine ridge between 1968 and 2002 caused progressive changes in moraine morphology, basal ice formation, debris release, ice-marginal sediment storage, and sediment
and compare the morphological characteristics of CDs under forest and under cropland; to deteermine the origin and age of a representative CD under forest.
morphology, diverse vegetation and the presence of water, and these are evaluated with respect to laser data accuracy. Scan location, frequency and distance are discussed with reference to survey accuracy and efficiency, and a field protocol is proposed
The papers in this special issue represent some of the recent progress made on understanding mountain river channels. They include studies addressing detailed hydraulics, morphological and sedimentological adjustments, methodological advances
, and general theory. The first three papers report detailed hydraulics of step-pool, riffle-pool, and force-pool channels based on field measurements and flow modeling. The next five papers characterize morphological and sedimentological responses within
of some instability factors, as the ratio of friction-angle to layering dip-angle less than 1, and the occurence of morphological signs of instability as active talus. - (NF)
In order to provide a basis for future study, and to determine whether changes in urban stream-channel morphology can be detected in a short time period, 2 urban streams in Fayetteville were chosen for repeat cross-section measurement and suspended
to global warming. Terminus variations in Italian Alpine Glaciers are traditionally determined yearly by measuring the distance between the terminus and ground control points. Morphologic and volumetric analyses indicate that in the last decades rutor
It is evident that morphology and location of the patterned ground of the High Sudetes are significantly dependent on lithological conditions. The occurence of sorted polygons is dependent particularly on quartzite ; earth hummocks prefer rocks
important for the supply of the city is losing the foundation of its existence, and former completely agricultural settlements on the city's edge have already experienced fundamental functional and morphological transformations. - (IKR)
