Aggradation surfaces and implications for displacement rates along the Wairarapa Fault, southern North Island, New Zealand
In this paper surface deformation of Last Glacial fluvial aggradation surfaces along the western edge of the Wairarapa Valley is described in terms of slip rates along the Wairarapa Fault over the last 60 ka or so.
Variation of some soil properties along two toposequences on quartzite schist and banded gneiss in Southwestern Nigeria
This study was undertaken to examine the variation of some soil properties along the toposeqence to illustrate the need for such approach to complement soil classification in allocating areas of land to specific uses along the toposequence
Distribution of large woody debris along the outer bend of meanders in the Ain River, France
The distribution of large woody debris (LWD) was studied along the concave outer bend of 3 meanders in the Ain River. The Ain River is a sixth-order channel dominated by a gravel-cobble bed substrate that meanders through a floodplain covered
largely by riparian forest vegetation. The total LWD deposited along concavities was most strongly controlled by meander-bend geometry. Findings from this study are applicable to restore alluvial forests along French rivers.
This paper utilizes two-dimensional flow modelling to compare flood hydraulics along two alternative versions of an idealized reach of a river canyon: one with uniform width, gradient and cross-section, and a second pertubed by a prominent debris
fan along the valley wall. The flow pattern along the reach with the fan is far more complex than the pattern along the uniform reach. Maximum velocity along the debris-fan reach is up to 50 per cent higher than along the uniform reach, maximum bed
Phosphorus forms, lateritic nodules and soil properties along a hillslope in northern Ghana
The AA. relate the amounts and distribution of P to the nodule content, chemical properties and development stage of soils along a hillslope in northern Ghana with the objective of determining the factors that influence P fertility with respect
The shoreface-connected ridges along the central Dutch coast
The present study adresses to the questions how the shoreface-connected ridges along the central part of the Dutch coast were formed and what their behaviour is under the present hydrodynamic conditions. The study is based on field observations
Observations of trapped waves in the atmosphere and ocean along the coast of southern Africa
The coastally trapped low pressure cell and associated shelf wave which travel eastward along the southern edge of the African continent are studied. Composite and case study analyses confirm a geographically anchored acceleration of the coastal low
Statistical analysis of factors influencing cliff erosion along a section of the West Wales coast, U.K.
This study attempts to provide a better understanding of the factors influencing cliff erosion along this section of coastline, particular reference being given to the role of wave action on unconsolidated cliffs of glacial drift
Kustwallen langs de voormalige Zuiderzee. (Coastal ridges along the former Zuiderzee, The Netherlands)
The environmental setting, geomorphology, sediment properties and genesis of ridges along the shore of the former Zuiderzee are discussed. The ridges are largely generated by surf activity of storm waves perpendicular to the coast, between 1170
Neptunian dikes along submarine escarpments : examples from the Jurassic of Monte Kumeta (Sicily)
Along the Jurassic escarpment of Monte Kumeta (western Sicily), the opening of neptunian dikes is related either to extensional tectonics or to dilatation due to down-slope sliding. Crosscutting relationships coupled with biostratigraphic data
Controls on channel form along bedrock-influenced alluvial streams in South-Central Indiana
The primary objective of this investigation is to assess the influence of bedrock geology on channel form along alluvial streams that are characterized by bedrock exposures and thus are significantly influenced by the underlying strata. The analysis
is performed by quantifying and comparing variables describing channel form and sedimentology along streams developed in siliciclastic rocks with streams traversing primarily carbonate lithologies.
Pleistocene cataclysmic flooding along the Big Lost River, east central Idaho
Relationships between cataclysmic flood-generated landforms and flood hydraulics were investigated along Box Canyon, an 11 km long bedrock gorge of the lower Big Lost River. Geomorphic mapping along Box Canyon indicates that a cataclysmic flood
Infrastructure construction in the Longhai-Lanxin economic belt of China along new Asian-European continental bridge
The newly opened Asian European continental land bridge will provide a great opportunity for all the regions along its sides to speed up their economic growth. The paper focuses on evaluating the changing pattern of economic growth in the regions
along NOAECLB within China's boundary and discusses the problems, major tasks and relative policies for infrastructure construction in this area.
Foreshore depositional patterns along the Rhode Island southshore
The application of third-order polynomials to define statistically the sediment cumulative frequency distributions for sample stations along the Rhode Island southshore illustrates a sedimentation pattern that follows the direction of longshore
sediment transport. The source of beach sediment however appears to be from a number of glacial headlands found along the shoreline. The cyclic occurrence of sediment distributions at points appears to coincide with zones of divergent wave refraction.
Downstream variation in grain size along an Alpine river : analysis of controls and processes
This study concerns downstream variation in bed material size along a 115-km reach of the Piave River in north-eastern Italy. This river drains a region producing high sediment yields (the Dolomites and the Prealps) and has a braided pattern along
Flooding 1990s along the Yangtze River, has it concern of global warming ?
This research investigates the variability of summer rainfall along the Yangtze River, and finds out how unusual the frequent floods during the 1990s are in the context of centurial and millennial records. Finally, the possible relationship between
the surplus summer rainfall during the last 2 decades along the Yangtze River and the global warming is investigated.
Post-Nipissing origin of a backdune complex along the southeastern shore of Lake Michigan
The coastal dune complex southwest of Holland is fairly typical of the coastal dunes along the southeastern shore of Lake Michigan, consisting of massive parabolic dunes along the shore and smaller backdunes up to 1 km inland. This study tested
Thermal minima along the axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Mid-Atlantic Ridge basalts erupted near fracture zones seem to have lower quenching temperatures than along unfractured ridge segments probably because of enhanced cooling by exposing magmas to colder fault planes and more intense seawater
circulation. The cooling effect is more pronounced along segments over hotspots with close ridge displacement fabric and recurrent rift jumping, probably reflecting additional complications, including subaxial magma flow about plumes, or the presence
