Strong annual variability and seasonal snow covers determine hydrological processes and related sediment displacements in high latitude regions. The most significant period for runoff and fluvial sediment transport is the snowmelt period in early
on the Wairapa Fault during a single earthquake in 1855 and the Holocene paleoseimic record as interpreted from small scale geomorphic features and regional uplift pattern, and 2) the relationship between vertical displacement on the Wairapa Fault and uplift
of the eastern portion of New Zealand's North Island. Shallow landsliding, triggered by high-intensity storms, is an important erosion process throughout the region. The long-term record of sedimentation in Lake Tutira suggests that the magnitude and frequency
Caractérisée par un climat de type méditerranéen, la région du Alentejo est marquée par une forte variabilité spatiale et interannuelle des pluies et par un régime pluviométrique irrégulier. Les événements pluvieux sont peu fréquents mais peuvent se
