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

The AA. examine the chronological, sedimentological and geochemical characteristics of one of the principal Verlorenvlei cores (GDV1), extracted at Groodrift, 15 km from the present day vlei mouth, with a view to adding weight to the major

The features of morphometry and sedimentology of 54 debris flow fans in semiarid subtropics of southwestern China are summarized here based on field surveys, interpretations of aerial photographs and measurements of topographic maps. The influence

on the major theories which attempt to explain their formation. Before doing so, however, it summarizes salient aspects of tunnel valley geomorphology, and the sedimentology of their infills. Tunnel valleys incised into both bedrock and unconsolidated sediments
This study describes the flow patterns, sedimentology and morphology of Dipper Harbour Creek, a small coastal New Brunswick stream whose lower reaches form a macrotidal estuary fringed by salt marsh. The tidal portion of Dipper Harbour Creek
exhibits strong down-valley gradients in morphology and sedimentology, suggesting some interaction of tidal and fluvial forces. This paper examines these forces and their effects on channel morphology in the lower reaches of this system. In particular
Geomorphological studies on the Late Quaternary landscape evolution in areas of eastern Zaire indicated by pedological, sedimentological, and geochemical evidence that the recent rain forest of the region within the glacial core-areas was strongly
