the alluvial fan of shahdaad in derakhtangaan river is one of the biggest alluvial fans in a dry area in northeastern kerman. this alluvial fan has been formed due to different material erosions in the drainage basin of derakhtangaan river and lying of these materials in the extreme part of this basin called dasht-e-lut (the plain of lut). the region which has been studied in this research is o...

A geomorphological investigation was conducted in Fox Creek valley within the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Chase County, Kansas. During the first stage of the study, Quaternary landforms were defined and mapped in the valley. This was followed by inspection of cutbank exposures along the creek and deep coring across the valley floor. Subsurface information gleaned from the exposures and...

Overwash is a physical process of coastal sediment transport driven by storm events and is essential to landscape resilience in low-lying barrier environments. This work establishes a comprehensive set of scaling laws for overwash morphology: unifying quantitative descriptions with which to compare overwash features by their morphological attributes across case examples. Such scaling laws also ...

The evolution of fault slip through time may yield insight into the geodynamics of deforming lithosphere. Precise determination of temporal variations in fault slip is often hindered, however, by a dearth of markers of varying age from which to reconstruct fault slip. Here we determine slip rates across the White Mountain Fault Zone over the past ca. 0.8 Ma from displaced alluvial deposits pres...
