For hypotheses of the type H0 : θ = θ0 vs H1 : θ 6= θ0 we demonstrate the equivalence of a Bayesian hypothesis test using a Bayes factor and the corresponding classical test, for a large class of models, which are detailed in the paper. In particular, we show that the role of the prior and critical region for the Bayes factor test is only to specify the type I error. This is their only role sin...

The fields of hydrology and fluvial geomorphology get more and more attention in the general public. The reason for this is changed climate patterns with increased frequencies of storms and river flooding and as a result changed geomorphology and living conditions for the inhabitants of the area. With the development of 3D geovisualization, hydrological and geomorphological processes can be bet...

35 36 New high resolution multibeam data in the Gulf of Bothnia reveal for the first time the 37 subglacial environment of a Bothnian Sea Ice Stream. The geomorphological record suggests 38 that increased meltwater production may have been important in driving rapid retreat of 39 Bothnian Sea ice during deglaciation. Here we apply a well-established one-dimensional 40 flowline model to simulate...

A 0.9 km-reach of Uvas Creek, California, was reconstructed as a sinuous, meandering channel in November 1995. In February 1996, this new channel washed out. We reviewed project documents to determine the basis for the project design and conducted our own historical geomorphological study to understand the processes operating in the catchment and project reach. The project was designed using a ...

In debates on societal collapse, Iceland occupies a position of precarious survival, defined by not becoming extinct, like Norse Greenland, but having endured, sometimes by the narrowest of margins. Classic decline narratives for late medieval to early modern Iceland stress compounding adversities, where climate, trade, political domination, unsustainable practices, and environmental degradatio...

Many environmental processes depend on the amount of solar radiation at the ground level. Ground measurements are often available, even for long time series, and are used as input for spatial interpolation models to produce continuous maps of solar radiation. The aim of this work is to evaluate the results of different kriging interpolation approaches. This kind of comparison presents a relevan...

In recent years, remote sensing, morphometric analysis, and other computational concepts and tools have invigorated the field of geomorphological mapping. Automated interpretation of digital terrain data based on impartial rules holds substantial promise for large dataset processing and objective landscape classification. However, the geomorphological realm presents tremendous complexity and ch...
