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.

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

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

High-resolution seismic profiles, as well as sedimentological and micropaleontological analyses of three cores, are used to reconstruct the environmental and sedimentological evolution of Preservation Inlet, the southernmost New Zealand fjord, since
Author compares three Hungarian key loess profiles on the basis of several parameters. Comparison of the horizontal and vertical distribution of parameter values aimed at drawing as many sedimentological and paleogeographical conclusions as possible

In this study an elemental approach is used to characterize the fluvial sedimentology of a 20 km reach of the Squamish River in which channel planform changes progressively downvalley from braided to meandering. A model of floodplain growth based

Discusses evidence of middle to late Holocene lake-level fluctuations recorded in the terminal basins of the Mojave River. Presents stratigraphic and sedimentologic evidence of the occurrence of shallow, short-duration, middle to late Holocene lakes
