Terracing is widely used as an effective soil and water conservation practice in sloped terrains. Physically based hydrological models are useful tools for understanding the response of terraced catchments. These typically require a DEM input data, whose resolution likely to influence model accuracy. The main objective present work was investigate how affects accuracy terrain representations co...

A new type of optically transparent electrode is fabricated using template-stripped gold film whose surface shows highly oriented, atomically flat terraces and steps. The electrode indicates typical Au(111) electrochemical properties and stability for spectroelectrochemical measurements.

In a round-dance neighbour design, an odd number v of objects is arranged successively in (v − 1)=2 rings (circular blocks) such that any two of the objects are adjacent to one another in exactly one ring. A round-dance neighbour design is also a Hamiltonian decomposition of the complete graph on v vertices. We show how such designs can be constructed from terraces, which are building blocks fo...

Cosmogenic 26Al, 10Be, and 14C dating of fluvial fill terraces in steep canyons of the Colorado Front Range provides a temporal framework for analysing episodic aggradation and incision. Results from Boulder Canyon show that terrace heights above the modern channel (grade) can be divided into: (1) Bull Lake ( 100 ka; 20–15 m above grade); (2) Pinedale (32–10 ka; 15–4 m above grade); and (3) Hol...

Lacustrine and alluvial terraces and sediments record the extent of at least twoHolocene glacially dammed lakes immediately upstream of the Tsangpo River gorge at the eastern syntaxis of the Himalaya. The larger lake covered 2835 km, with a maximum depth of 680 m and contained an estimated 832 km of water; the smaller lake contained an estimated 80 km of water. Radiocarbon dating of wood and ch...
