Agricultural drainage-induced Albeluvisol evolution: A source of deterministic chaos

Geoderma, 2013
Abstract It is currently widely accepted that soil formation is not only deterministic, obeying the well-known soil-forming factor theory, but also chaotic, being highly sensitive to small variations in the initial conditions that persist and grow over time.

Evolution of physiography and drainage in southern Yukon

Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1980
The physiography of southern Yukon is dominated by upland plateaux and plateau remnants that probably evolved in the Tertiary, culminating in a mature erosion surface about Miocene time. Variations in the elevation of this surface are thought to result from uneven uplift and faulting in the Late Miocene or Pliocene.

The relief and drainage evolution of the Blean

Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 1954
Abstract The Blean plateau is of morphological interest because it exhibits two features which are unusual in clay country. Firstly, there is a great regularity of direction in its drainage pattern, and secondly, as a regional unit, the Blean has proved relatively resistant to erosion.

Neogene drainage evolution of SW Anatolia (Türkiye): Integration of morphotectonics, drainage and denudation analyses

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
AbstractThis study integrates denudation analysis with morphotectonic characteristics, facies associations and drainage analysis to investigate the landscape evolution of SW Anatolia. Age‐Elevation Relationship (AER) plots of published thermochronological data from drainage divides, valleys and preserved paleo‐geomorphological landscape remnants ...

Drainage Evolution and Fish Dispersal in the Central Appalachians

GSA Bulletin, 1979
The study of fish dispersal in the central Appalachians is a perplexing problem to ichthyologists who often must rely on geological literature to determine past drainage relationships. Many classical geomorphological treatments of drainage history and evolution are often dated (1884–1934), and controversial as well.

DRAINAGE EVOLUTION IN NORTHEASTERN MONTANA AND NORTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1958
Topography and the distribution of gravels support suggestions by earlier investigators that the master streams of northeastern Montana and northwestern North Dakota flowed northward across the present trench of the Missouri until diverted in the Pleistocene. The age of the pre-diversion drainage is not precisely known.

Drainage evolution in a rifted basin, Corinth graben, Greece

Geomorphology, 2000
Abstract Intrabasinal basement highs and transfer faults, distance from source, and the underlying geology influence the drainage pattern and the evolution of the 41 river basins in the northern Peloponnesus. These rivers were classified as antecedent (10), multistory (17), re-established (5) and juvenile (9) drainage types.

The global pattern of evolution of plasmaspheric drainage plumes

2005
We present observations of an 18 June 2001 erosion event obtained by the IMAGE extreme ultraviolet (EUV) imager. Following a 0304 UT southward turning of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), the plasmasphere on both nightside and dayside surged sunward, reducing the plasmasphere radius on the nightside and creating a broad drainage plume on the ...

Evolution of the Drainage of Cauvery in South India

Journal Geological Society of India, 1971
Abstract It is now realised that the course of the river Cauvery in South India as observed is different from what it was during its inception during late Cretaceous or early Tertiary times. The upper part of the course over the Mysore plateau might have had only slight modifications both headward as well as laterally; but the lower part

The Zambezi River: tectonism, climatic change and drainage evolution

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1990
Abstract The longitudinal profile of the Zambezi River forms two concave-upwards sections, with their boundary at the Victoria Falls. This form has been ascribed to the process of pediplantation and the Victoria Falls identified as one of several knick points that have traversed the river since the breakup of Gondwanaland.
