Comparison of historic channel migration rates, modern planform conditions, and overall sediment, wood, and flow conditions and interactions for the Quinault River and Queets River in the western Olympic Peninsula, Washington, reveals decadalto century-scale interactions between gravel-bed channels and forested flood plains in temperate maritime environments. The downstream alluvial portions of...

This research aimed to determine the potential of unconfined aquifer in Gorontalo City based on landform approach. The landforms consist alluvial plains lake deposits, floodplains river fans hills structural fractures reef limestones, pinogu volcanic rocks, and intrusive bone diorite. method used consisted a meteorological approach southern dynamic City. calculation groundwater availability usi...

The lowermost Mississippi River, defined herein as the river segment downstream of the Old River Control Structure and hydrodynamically influenced by the Gulf of Mexico, extends for approximately 500 km. This segment includes a bedrock (or more precisely, mixed bedrock-alluvial) reach that is bounded by an upstream alluvial-bedrock transition and a downstream bedrock-alluvial transition. Here w...

Kerman and its surrounding towns consist of a flat alluvial plain of fine silt and clay materials. In morphological aspects, these sediments have a very gentle slope with the main infrastructure of the city build on them. Generally, the structure of undisturbed soils is developed over time due to the influence of environmental factors. Geological factors in Kerman fine-grained alluviums have ca...

Cone penetration tests, a method that is typically used to determine the engineering properties of soils, can be as an effective tool for refined subsurface stratigraphic investigations alluvial and coastal plains, aside from geographic location. High-resolution calibration piezocone tests (CPTU) with 20 sediment cores enabled detailed characterization alluvial, deltaic depositional systems Po ...

The basin area upstream from the mountain front is 191 km 2 and downstream the ...

The heartlands of many the world's civilizations are situated within alluvial plains, where thick sediments obscure much archaeological record. However, use geoarchaeology remains patchy, particularly in largest basins. We present results from our geoarchaeological survey at Neihuang County, Henan Province, China, as an example for research North China Plain and to develop a generalized framewo...

basins leading to tabriz plain are part of the sub-basins of urmia lake basin, which is located in the east azerbaijan province and in the north-western part of iran. the area of this basin is 5397 km2, and agriculture is one of the main sources of income for the people, which is dependent on groundwater and surface water resources. in this study, an attempt was made to investigate the basins l...
