of continuous permafrost in many areas where they are located. Recent work on Disko Iland has suggested a new type of hydraulic pingo developing only in a marsh environment. It is argued that the marsh setting is not relevant to the formation of these features
Open system, or more correctly, hydraulic pingos, are genetically poorly understood. A continuing problem concerns their need for a perennial groundwater supply (intra- or sub-permafrost). This has to be maintained despite the existence

Modelling granular sediment transport over water-worked gravels
This paper reports a numerical model that calculates the transport paths of individual granular particles over a natural water-worked gravel surface. Surface topography is measured using digital photogrammetry and incorporated into a computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) scheme by the application of a porosity algorithm. The predicted hydraulics determine the forces acting on each particle enabling the particle trajectory to be solved by Langrangian transport equations. The methodology demonstrates
the importance of including complex topography in the numerical scheme as topographically induced hydraulic acceleration and deceleration affect both the transport mechanism and subsequent trajectory of the particle.

Segment-scale patterns and hydraulics of trace metal concentrations in fine grain sediments of a cobble and boulder bed mountain stream, southeast Alaska
Results indicate that there are no consistent downstream trends typical of those associated with tributary mixing at basin scales or with geochemical variability at segment-scales. Little in this work supports the concept of metal-rich or depleted

The AA. outline problems entailed in the operation and maintenance of Turkmenistan's Kara Kum Canal, the world's largest irrigation canal. Prominent among these are the physical properties of the channel bed itself, the priority of hydraulic
Bed scouring downstream of hydraulic structures under steady flow conditions : experimental analysis of space and time scales and implications for mathematical modeling
