. The A. posits that soil variance structure is a useful criterion to distinguish the relative influence on vegetation patterns of soil properties expressed through landforms (Sapelo Island, Georgia) versus sediment transport processes (South Core Banks, North
The A. used principal component analysis to examine hypotheses regarding the structure of variation among soil properties in active barrier-island dune systems. Dune soils and vegetation were sampled on two well-recognized barrier-island morphologie

The burial of ice in the proglacial environment on Bylot Island, Arctic Canada

The burial of ice in the proglacial environment on Bylot Island, Arctic Canada
This paper investigates the occurrence of subsurface ice in a periglacial environment and addresses the potential for its preservation in a high arctic environment such as Bylot Island. The processes associated with the burial of glacial, icing
and permanent snow bank ice are discussed, and specific examples are given from 3 different environments (ice-cored moraines, ice-cored deltas and icings). The impacts of thermokarst and retrogressive thaw flow erosion on the preservation of ground ice are also

Observations of debris-rich naled associated with a major glacier surge event, Disko Island, West Greenland

Observations of debris-rich naled associated with a major glacier surge event, Disko Island, West Greenland
During the 1995-98 surge of Kuannersuit Glacier, Disko Island, turbid winter runoff produced an extensive naled accretion with a distinct debris-rich stratification. After surge termination the summer occurrence of naledi gradually decreased
and disappeared within 5 years. The fine-grained debris was deposited on top of outwash deposits on bars and banks. Observations at the margin of surrounding glaciers revealed that only surge-type glaciers in their quiescent phase had proglacial naled assemblages

Anastomosis and the continuum of channel pattern

Anastomosing rivers are characterized by multiple channels separated by islands excised from the floodplain. Their status relative to the continuum concept of channel pattern is assessed with channel pattern defined in terms of three variables: flow
strentgh, bank erodibility and relative sediment supply. Anastomosis may in certain cases represent a transitional form of channel pattern but there is no denying the longevity of some anastomosing systems.

The age of the Kuiseb river silt terrace at Homeb in Palaeoecology of Africa and the surrounding islands. Volume 15. Southern African Society for Quaternary research. Proceedings.
Stable isotope analyses and radiocarbon dating indicate that the vlei silt deposit at Homeb accumulated between 23 000 and 19 000 BP. The calcrete above the S bank of the Kuiseb river at Homeb developed between 33 000 and 28 000 BP, indicating more
humid conditions in the desert during Isotopic Stage 3. The carbonate cementing of the fluvial pebble conglomerate forming the 40 m terrace against the S bank took place at the same time. The sequence of aggradation and removal of sediments in the canyon

Farewell Spit runs along South Island, New Zealand. The spit is composed of barchan dunes, sand sheets and vegetated linear dunes. Analysis of aerial photography indicates a rapid colonization of the spit by vegetation which has expanded in area
by aeolian sediment transport. It would appear that extension of the subaerial portion of the spit is related to the development of shells banks at its downdrift end which are periodically welded to the main spit by dune extension. Farewell Spit therefore
