We examine portage sites in the U.S. South, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest, including those on the fall line, a geomorphologic feature in the southeastern U.S. marking the final rapids on rivers before the ocean. Historically, waterborne transport of goods required portage around the falls at these points, while some falls provided water power during early industrialization. These factors attracted ...

Javoří hory Mountains is a part of Intra Sudetic Basin that belongs to the Permian-Carboniferous section of the Bohemian Massif, whose geological evolution was strongly influenced by volcanic activity. In the Pleistocene epoch cryogenic processes modeled the mountains significantly (frost cliffs, gelifluction streams), which resulted, in connection to the slope orientations, in substantial moun...

In erosion and sedimentation problems, estimating the range of significant stream flows to include when computing sediment transport can prove challenging in ungauged or under-gauged basins. This paper describes an event-based model incorporating a geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph and stochastic descriptions of peak flows and frequency of storm events from nearby reference watershed...

In this paper we present a stereo feature-based method using SIFT (Scale-invariant feature transform) descriptors. We use automatic feature extractors, matching algorithms between images and techniques of robust estimation to produce a DTM (Digital Terrain Model) using convergent shots of a rock glacier.The geomorphologic structure observed in this study is the Veleta rock glacier (Sierra Nevad...
