The fluvial history of Mars [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2012
Abstract River channels and valleys have been observed on several planetary bodies in addition to the Earth. Long sinuous valleys on Venus, our Moon and Jupiter's moon Io are clearly formed by lava, and branching valleys on Saturn's moon Titan may be forming today by rivers of methane.

Flow depth estimates and avulsion behaviour in alluvial stratigraphy (Willwood Formation, Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, USA)

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, 2023
The size and geometry of river channels play a central role in sediment transport and the character of deposition within alluvial basins across spatiotemporal scales spanning the initiation of grain movement to the filling of accommodation generated by ...

Nonmarine time-stratigraphy in a rift setting: An example from the Mid-Permian lower Quanzijie low-order cycle Bogda Mountains, NW China

open access: yesJournal of Palaeogeography, 2015
Sedimentological and stratigraphic studies of seven stratigraphic sections of Permian Hongyanchi (HYC) and Quanzijie (QZJ) low-order cycles (LCs) in the Tarlong-Taodonggou half graben and Dalongkou area in Bogda Mountains, NW China, demonstrate effective

Quantifying Downstream, Vertical and Lateral Variation in Fluvial Deposits: Implications From the Huesca Distributive Fluvial System

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Quantifying sedimentary deposits is crucial to fully test generic trends cited within facies models. To date, few studies have quantified downstream trends alongside vertical and lateral variations within distributive fluvial systems (DFS), with most ...

El Museo del Puerto Fluvial de Caesaraugusta [PDF]

open access: yesBoletín del Museo Arqueológico Nacional, 2017
El Museo de sitio, gestionado por el Ayuntamiento de Zaragoza, fue inaugurado en el año 2000. Alberga un conjunto monumental, fechado entre finales del siglo I a. C. y el siglo I d. C., que daba continuidad al trazado de los pórticos del foro, perfilando

Multidecadal Analysis of an Engineered River System Reveals Challenges for Model-Based Design of Human Interventions

open access: yesCivilEng, 2021
Hydraulic models were used in practice to predict the effect of human intervention during extreme conditions. However, the accuracy of such predictions remains untested.

Volcanogenic Fluvial-Lacustrine Environments in Iceland and Their Utility for Identifying Past Habitability on Mars

open access: yesLife, 2015
The search for once-habitable locations on Mars is increasingly focused on environments dominated by fluvial and lacustrine processes, such as those investigated by the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover.

Evaluation of Morphodynamic Controls on the Preservation of Fluvial Meander‐Belt Deposits

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
The way river morphodynamics influence the preservation of point‐bar deposits at multiple scales is not fully understood. Employing time‐lapse trajectories of natural rivers, a numerical model is used here to simulate planform evolutions of meander‐belt ...

Targeting property flood resilience in flood risk management

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, 2021
In this article, we evaluate property flood resilience (PFR) to manage pluvial and combined tidal/ fluvial flood risks. We achieve this by evaluating flood risk and intervention targeting strategies across a case study in Bristol (UK) using data types ...
