Lacustrine shore platforms at Lake Waikaremoana, North Island, New Zealand
Comparative study ; Erosion rate ; Lacustrine sediment ; Lake ; Lake level ; Model ; New Zealand ; North Island ; Ocean ; Shore platform ; Weathering
This paper has 3 objectives. First, to describe the shore platforms at Lake Waikaremoana. Second, to determine whether principles governing oceanic platforms can be applied to a lacustrine setting, and third to present a conceptual model
for the development of the shore platforms at Lake Waikaremoana.

The coastal dune complex southwest of Holland is fairly typical of the coastal dunes along the southeastern shore of Lake Michigan, consisting of massive parabolic dunes along the shore and smaller backdunes up to 1 km inland. This study tested
Dominance of an 150-year cycle of sand-supply change in late Holocene dune-building along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan

Outcrops of buried soils on lake-plains and glacial headlands along Lake Michigan's eastern shore suggest that periodic dune-building has occurred there after relatively long (>100 yr) periods of low sand supply. The AA. located, described
approximate the time of soil burial by dunes. The modern dune landscape of the eastern shore is dominated by perched dunes formed during 150-yr lake highstands over the past 1500 yr.

Vertical, upward tapering, closed tubes (here termed röhrenkarren) have been observed in abundance in limestone exposed in the epiphreatic zone around 3 interconnected lakes, loughs Carra, Mask, and Corrib, in counties Galway and Mayo in western
Ireland. Röhrenkarren from by condensation corrosion within air pockets trapped by seasonal floodwaters. Lake-specific differences in röhrenkarren morphometry provide a unique record of the long-term water chemistry at each site. The underlying mechanism

This paper aims to yield evidence, in a large subarctic lake environment, of the intricate relationship between shrub population development and waterlevel fluctuations over the last decades, and to provide a framework for the interpretation

Ice in the shore zone and the geomorphology of cold coasts
This article reviews current knowledge of the principal sea-ice and lake-ice phenomena affecting shore-zone morphology and stability. The AA. emphasize insights developed over the past 100 years or so in Canada and contiguous coastal regions
Post-glacial history of Lake Näsijärvi, Finland, and the origin of the Tammerkoski Rapids

isolation and possible shifts in the outlet of the lake complex were studied by means of levellings of the old shore marks, by sedimentological analyses, and by radiocarbon datings. Thus, the purpose of this work is to detect if Lake Näsijärvi had an ancient
Lake Näsijärvi is a body of water of 265 km2 in the northern part of the Kokemäenjoki watercourse, central Finland. The lake was isolated from the Baltic Sea during the Ancylus Lake. The effect of post-glacial land uplift on the lake after its

deals with the natural and artificial shaping of the shoreline of the Lake, and as a result a great number of studies and plans were created. According to the A., urgent actions need to be taken to stop illegal use of the shore (in filling, construction
This paper analyses the history and the present state of shoreline control of Lake Balaton. The first shoreline control activities around Lake Balaton commenced during the last years of the 19th century. In recent years great amount of legislation
Late Weichselian and Holocene shore displacement in Finland in Shorelines and isostasy.
This paper reviews glacio-isostatic movements in Finland, using the shorelines left by the Baltic Ice Lake (10500-10200 B.P.), the brackish Yoldia stage (10000 B.P.), the Ancylus Lake (9000 B.P.), the transgressive brackish Littorina Sea (7500-7000

The AA. present research on the dynamics and probable causes of the above-average 2011 activation of the central landslide at Dobrzyń-on-the-Vistula, which has been developing within the shore zone of the Włocławek Reservoir – against the background
of 40 years of research into the landform in question. This reflects the unique nature of this long-term study into mass movements within the shore zone of a reservoir. – (BJ)
Morphological evidence of lake level changes, western shore of the Dead Sea in Research contributions to the physical geography of Israel. Studies in fluvial and coastal geomorphology of arid and mediterranean regions.
Guided by air photographs, intensive measurements were made of the height of the various traces left by former levels of the Dead Sea on its western shore. The results point to sudden steep changes of the Dead Sea level long periods of recurring
