Sedimentology of a fine-grained aggrading floodplain
Floodplain ; Fluvial processes ; Land use ; Sedimentology ; Statistics ; United States ; Wisconsin
The present study characterizes the entire spatial variation in sedimentological properties along a portion of the presently aggrading floodplain of the Galena River in southwest Wisconsin. Another theme of this study is the detailed
sedimentological characteristics of the overbank facies.
Morphology and sedimentology of deltas in fjord and fjord valley lakes in Sedimentology of fjords.
Sediment supply, depositional processus and the associated morphology and sedimentology of deltas in a fjord and several fjord lakes have been studied. The morphology of the deltas have been investigated by echo-sounding. Differences in downstream
sedimentation rates of the various deltas are related to dynamic and geometrical properties of the systems. The effect of different factors on delta morphology and sedimentology is discussed.
New isotopic and sedimentological measurements of the Thabaseek deposits (South Africa) and the dating of the Taung hominid
Archeological site ; Cape Province ; Dating ; Geochemistry ; Isotope dating ; Quaternary ; Sedimentology ; South Africa ; Stratigraphy
This paper synthesizes the interpretations of the new stratigraphic, faunal, sedimentological, and radiometric data and offers a considered statement on the age of the Taung australopithecine skull.
This work focuses on the transport processes, sedimentology and clast fabric of slope deposits cropping out in active depositional environments, widespread between 900 and 1000 m in altitude, close to Mormanno, in Northen Calabria. - (NF)
This study provides a clearer understanding of hydrological and sedimentological processes and mechanisms operating during jökulhlaups (glacial outburst floods), and helps to identify flood hazards more accurately, which is fundamental for hazard
Alluvial cone ; Arid area ; Canada ; Gelifluction ; Periglacial features ; Permafrost ; Sedimentology ; Snow
The objectives of this study are to describe the morphology and sedimentology of an alluvial fan, the Mount Goodenough North fan, in a permafrost region; and to interpret the processes responsible for the development of the fan, using both direct
observations and inferences from fan morphology and sedimentology.
Glacigenic properties of till. Studies in glacial sedimentology from the Allgäu Alps and The Netherlands.
The intention of this study is to give a contribution to the knowledge of sedimentological properties of glacial diamictons, in particular those of subglacial origin. (AIS).
Differential bed sedimentology and the maintenance of riffle-pool sequences
Carrying capacity ; Devon ; England ; Fluvial processes ; Model ; River bed ; Sedimentology ; Statistics ; United Kingdom
The purpose of this paper is to clarify several aspects of the sedimentology of riffle-pool sequences, and to suggest how these both reflect and control riffle-pool stability in the presence of spatial differences in the turbulent near-bed flow
Desertification in the light of sedimentological features of dune deposits
Africa ; Asia ; Desertification ; Dune ; Eolian features ; Europe ; Grain size distribution;Granulometry ; Heavy minerals ; Micromorphology ; Sahara ; Sedimentology ; Southwest Asia ; Syria
The purpose of the present study was the answer to the question whether sedimentological features of dune deposits make a record of the duration of desertification processes. Particularly informative of the duration of aeolian processes
Loessic silt deposits in the Western Himalayas : their sedimentology, genesis and age
Asia ; Clay mineral ; Dating ; Grain size distribution;Granulometry ; Himalaya ; Karakoram ; Loess ; Microstructure ; Pedogenesis ; Sedimentology ; Surface deposits ; Thermoluminescence
Fieldwork and sedimentological analysis including grain size, mineralogy and microfabric showed that the loessic sediments have been reworked and some have undergone weak pedogenesis. It is concluded that care must be taken when using loessic silts
Sedimentological study of aeolian soil parent materials in the Río Sauce Grande basin, Buenos Aires province, Argentina
Aeolian features ; Argentina ; Buenos Aires ; Carbonate ; Geochemistry ; Grain size distribution ; Loess ; Pedogenesis ; Quaternary ; Sediment transport ; Sedimentology ; Soil properties ; Watershed
The purpose of this paper is to characterize the sedimentology of aeolian soil parent materials of the Río Sauce Grande basin using grain-size distributions to indicate transport mechanisms, the dynamics of the sedimentary process and the nature
Possibility for subdividing apparently homogeneous depositional sequences by combined use of sedimentological, paleontological and mathematical methods
An experiment is presented here, aiming at a subdivision of loess profiles by a combined use of sedimentological, palaeontological and mathematical methods. The loess samples, beside Katymár, near the Hungarian-Yugoslavian border, are characterised
This work investigates the physical stratigraphy and the sedimentological character of the Messinian turbidites of the Laga formation, central Apennines. In particular the study concerns the lower Messinian portion of the Laga siliclastic turdibites
The structure and sedimentology of relict talus, Trotternish, Northern Skye, Scotland
C 14 dating ; Grain size distribution ; Gully erosion ; Mudflow ; Scotland ; Sediment transport ; Sedimentology ; Slope ; Slope dynamics ; United Kingdom
This paper reports the results of research on the internal structure and sedimentology of a relict talus slope on the Trotternish Peninsula, northern Skye, Scotland. Particular attention is devoted to : describing and interpreting the internal
in the Betés subbasin. Two stages in the development of the flood have been differentiated from the sedimentological and morphological analysis of the flooded fan lobe : peak discharge and discharge decline.
Wetlands in drylands : geomorphological and sedimentological characteristics, with emphasis on examples from southern Africa
