Recent sedimentological and morphological evolution of an island in the River Loire (France) was investigated using the Cs method. This study describes the morphological adjustment of the island in the last 50 years, which corresponds to the increased bed incision of this sandy, multiple-channel environment because of, among other things, the increase in sediment extraction up to 1995. The resu...

Hydraulic gold mining in the Sierra Nevada, California (1853–1884) displaced ~1.1 billion m of sediment from upland placer gravels that were deposited along piedmont rivers below dams where floods can remobilize them. This study uses topographic and planimetric data from detailed 1906 topographic maps, 1999 photogrammetric data, and preand post-flood aerial photographs to document historic sedi...

Phosphorus loss from bank erosion was studied in the catchment of River Odense, a lowland Danish river basin, with the aim of testing the hypothesis of whether stream banks act as major diffuse phosphorus (P) sources at catchment scale. Furthermore, the study aimed at analyzing the impact of different factors influencing bank erosion and P loss such as stream order, anthropogenic disturbances, ...

In an actively deforming orogen, maintenance of a topographic steady state requires that hillslope erosion, river incision, and rock uplift rates are balanced over timescales of 10–10 years. Over shorter times, < 10 years, hillslope erosion and bedrock river incision rates fluctuate with changes in climate. On 10-year timescales, the Marsyandi River in the central Nepal Himalaya has oscillated ...

the offered approach is based on the establishment of the functional dependence between river water discharge (q) and suspended ms ,in a number of observations, which noticeably differs from the mean value (r) of subsequent allocated period(s). the earliest period anthropogenic component during the subsequent period(s) is the difference between an actual suspended sediment yield and its hypothe...

A river network is a typical completely open system formed by interconnected river channels. The interactions between the imports of a river (water and sediment) and the channel will cause the change of the channel patterns. This is actually a feedback between the erosion and the sedimentation states of the channel via an adjustment of the sedimentcarrying capability of the stream. This feedbac...

introduction: cholesteatoma is traditionally diagnosed by otoscopic examination and treated by surgery. the necessity for imaging in an uncomplicated case is controversial. this study was planned to investigate the usefulness of a preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (hrct) scan in depicting the status of middle ear structures in the presence of cholesteatoma and also to compare the...

Incision rates derived from river terraces are commonly used to infer rock uplift rates; however, an apparent dependence of incision rate on measured time interval may confound directly relating incision to uplift. The time-dependent incision rates are a Sadler effect that have been argued to result from a stochastic distribution of hiatal intervals in river incision, potentially reducing the u...

The Isère River system drains parts of the Western Alps in south-eastern France. Zircon fission-track data of the Isère River and its tributaries show a range of apparent cooling ages from about 7 to 150 Ma. Zircons with Jurassic to early Tertiary cooling ages are derived from partially reset or non-reset sedimentary cover units of the internal and external Alps, while grains belonging to the m...
