The sedimentological characteristics of in situ and paraglacially reworked till are compared at recently deglaciated sites in Norway, to evaluate sedimentological criteria that may differentiate in situ from paraglacially reworked glacigenic
In 2 study areas in the maritime part of the Scheldt estuary, grab samples were taken and side-scan sonar recordings were carried out. Within the study areas, the strong variation in both the geometry of the subaqueous dunes and the sedimentological
characteristics is striking. A comparison between the geomorphological and sedimentological maps revealed some relations. The subaqueous dunes tend to have the largest dimensions in well sorted sediment that consists mainly of sand, contains relatively low amounts
Landscape evolution of the Gross Brukkaros inselberg area (Southern Namibia) - geomorphological, sedimentological and morphotectonic interpretation of Landsat Thematic Mapper data
The purpose of this paper is to describe and interpret the sedimentology and petrography of the Late Weichselian varves in southeastern Sweden in order to determine their nature and origin. The investigation is focused on the microscopic evidence

Modern floodplain sediments in the Wicklow Mountains display a stratigraphy and sedimentology that contrasts them with earlier Holocene alluvium. This paper presents the results of a C 14 dating programme the objects of which were to date : a) more
and porewater evolution using sedimentology, stable isotopes, and groundwater chemistry. This study will serve to assist the Walpole Island community in future land-use planning.
This paper reports observations made late in the 1997 ablation season around snowbed margins in Smørbotn cirque, which demonstrate a snow-push origin for ridges. These observations include sedimentological and morphological evidence both in front

This paper presents a comparative review of the sedimentological characteristics that typify the main slope mechanisms with a special reference to micromorphology. Results have been obtained from modern slope deposits from the French Alps

After the characterisation of the coarse sand accumulations in both mountains, their sedimentological properties are analysed and the aeolian and water activity in the two mountain ranges is compared. From this study it is evident that aeolian
Integrated sedimentological and micropaleontological (foraminifera, ostracods, pollens) investigations of a 173-m-long continuous core in the subsurface of the SE Po Plain reveal a cyclic facies distribution of continental to shallow-marine deposits

rock fragmentation is more active on the outside. The sedimentological and botanical study of fan deposits at the outlet of a karstic shaft in the Tree Shelter showed the local Holocene environmental evolution. Three periods of different degree
The main features and the evolution of the apical part of the River Ombrone delta have been analysed from a morphological and sedimentological viewpoint, using cartographic data, aerial photographs and field evidence. The evolution occurred during
