Lake Palmas (A = 10.3km2) is located in the Lower Doce River Valley (LDRV), on the southeastern coast of Brazil. The Lake District of the LDRV includes 90 lakes, whose basic geomorphology is associated with the alluvial valleys of the Barreiras Formation (Cenozoic, Neogene) and with the Holocene coastal plain. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of morphometry and thermal pattern o...

Local surface water and stormflow were infiltrated intermittently from a 40-ha basin between September 2003 and September 2007 to determine the feasibility of recharging alluvial aquifers pumped for public supply, near Stockton, California. Infiltration of water produced a pressure response that propagated through unconsolidated alluvial-fan deposits to 125 m below land surface (bls) in 5 d and...

In this paper, the development of conceptual and groundwater flow model for coastal aquifer system alluvial plain River Nestos (N. Greece), that suffers from seawater intrusion due to over-pumping irrigation, is analyzed. The study area a typical semi-arid hydrogeologic environment, composed multi-layer granular aquifers covers eastern delta R. Nestos. This demonstrates results series field mea...

[1] Dozens of large, low‐gradient alluvial fans are present within impact crater basins on the cratered highlands of Mars. The timescales and climate conditions that were required to generate such fans are unknown, but testable through our understanding of terrestrial hill slope erosion in the presence of precipitation. Previous estimates of fan formation time vary from years to millions of yea...

The coupled effects of climate change, sea-level rise, and land sinking in estuaries/alluvial plains prone to inundation flooding mean that reliable estimation movements/subsidence is becoming more crucial. During the last few decades, subsidence has been monitored by precise continuous geodetic measurements either from space or using terrestrial techniques. Among them, Persistent Scaterrer Int...
