Riparian zones maintain water quality, support multiple geomorphic processes, contain significant biodiversity and also maintain the aesthetics of the landscape. Australian state and national government agencies responsible for managing riparian zones are planning missions for acquiring remotely sensed data covering the main streams in Victoria, New South Wales, and parts of Queensland and Sout...

despite of suitable geological and climatic conditions for forming and evolution of alluvial fans and importance of this landform as soil and water resources in arid regions, there are limited studies about this landform in iran. in the present study, evolution and pedogenic development of geomorphic surfaces of an alluvial fan in eastern isfahan were studied by using remote sensing, field and ...

INTRODUCTION Since adoption of the measles case-based surveillance system in Zimbabwe in 1998, data has been routinely collected at all levels of the health delivery system and sent to national level with little or no documented evidence of use to identify risky populations, monitor impact of interventions and measure progress towards achieving measles elimination. We analysed this data to dete...

A geomorphic transport law is a mathematical statement derived from a physical principle or mechanism, which expresses the mass flux or erosion caused by one or more processes in a manner that: 1) can be parameterized from field measurements, 2) can be tested in physical models, and 3) can be applied over geomorphically significant spatial and temporal scales. Such laws are a compromise between...

Nonlinearity is common in geomorphology, though not present or relevant in every geomorphic problem. It is often ignored, sometimes to the detriment of understanding surface processes and landforms. Nonlinearity opens up possibilities for complex behavior that are not possible in linear systems, though not all nonlinear systems are complex. Complex nonlinear dynamics have been documented in a n...

In the United States, several thousand stream gages provide what typically is the only source of continuous, long-term streamflow and channel-geometry information for the locations being monitored. In this paper, the geomorphic content of stream-gage information, previous and potential applications of stream-gage information in fluvial geomorphic research and various possible limitations are de...

The effects of substrate geomorphic surface and physical vernal pool dimensions on plant species richness and composition, and large branchiopod occurrences were investigated for 814 vernal pools at Beale Air Force Base, Yuba County, California. Vernal pools mostly occurred on four geomorphic surfaces: the Mehrten, Laguna, Riverbank, and Modesto Formations. Plant species richness was positively...

Abstract Despite geomorphic processes being increasingly recognized as a vital component of river management projects, evidence suggests that they may not be adequately captured in common assessment procedures. We reviewed 91 procedures from around the world to evaluate their effectiveness capturing relevant for goals. Our objectives were summarize which indicators are measured and how differen...
