Multitype sediment deposits and sediment supply potential across alluvial–bedrock reaches of the Parlung Tsangpo river

International Journal of Sediment Research
The Parlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, located on the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, is one of the most tectonically active and sediment-dynamic regions in the alpine gorge zone.

UAV-based remote sensing of immediate changes in geomorphology following a glacial lake outburst flood at the Zackenberg river, northeast Greenland

Journal of Maps, 2020
Two detailed geomorphological maps (1:2000) depicting landscape changes as a result of a glacial lake outburst flood were produced for the 2.1-km-long section of the Zackenberg river, NE Greenland.

Typhoon and flooding occurrences on Chongming Island, Changjiang Estuary, as revealed by a newly acquired sedimentary record

Frontiers in Marine Science
Typhoon-induced storms surges and river flooding events represent two types of natural disasters that affect a wide range, occurring with high frequency and causing serious societal losses. Due to the limited duration of instrumental records, there is an

An improved method for detecting event layers in lake sediment archives

Frontiers in Earth Science
Flood frequency and magnitude are expected to increase under future climate scenarios, yet long-term records of flood variability remain sparse beyond the instrumental period.

Accumulation patterns and pedological significance of boron, molybdenum, and zinc in floodplain agroecosystems subject to sedimentation processes [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Periodic sedimentation in floodplain agroecosystems creates unique conditions for the redistribution of trace elements between alluvial soils and incoming flood deposits.
