Our paper explores the affinity between location and the registers of memory through the material specificities of moving image and the place of cinema using two recent moving image artworks, Reach and Maelstrom: The Return (2014), as case studies. Reach is an ‘environmental’ direct animation that enables a symbiotic conversation between artist and place through film’s agency as a sensitive and...

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...

Flash flood events are floods characterised by a very rapid response of basins to storms, often resulting in loss of life and property damage. Due to the specific spacetime scale of this type of flood, the lead time available for triggering civil protection measures is typically short. Rainfall threshold values specify the amount of precipitation for a given duration that generates a critical d...

The Golo River drains a steep catchment (average gradient of 30 m km?1, surface 1214 km2) in the northeast part Corsica Island, delivering sediments to Ligurian Sea. In this study, we review and revise geologic map constrain extent coastal alluvial plain formations their relative absolute chronology. To update each formation, performed geomorphologic analysis with DEMs satellite imagery data co...

Alluvial slopes are piedmonts characterized by parallel steam channels rather than alluvial fans. They are common landforms in extensional basins of the south-western United States but have received little attention from geomorphologists or sedimentologists. Persistence of channellized flow across piedmonts, as opposed to sheetflooding due to loss of flow confinement on alluvialfan surfaces, di...
