Slovenská terminológia travertínov, penovcov a príbuzných terestrických vápencov [PDF]

Geologické práce. Správy, 2023
The paper follows on a review articles on Slovak travertines and tufa published in English in 2021. Geomorphological terms such as ‘fissure ridge’, ‘coalesced mound’, ‘self-buiding channel’, ‘keeled waterfall’, ‘smooth slope’, ‘terrased slope’, ‘dams ...

Linking the Remote Sensing of Geodiversity and Traits Relevant to Biodiversity—Part II: Geomorphology, Terrain and Surfaces

Remote Sensing, 2020
The status, changes, and disturbances in geomorphological regimes can be regarded as controlling and regulating factors for biodiversity. Therefore, monitoring geomorphology at local, regional, and global scales is not only necessary to conserve ...

Genesis and abiotic characteristics of three high-altitude peatlands in the Tien Shan Mountains (Kyrgyzstan), with focus on silty peatland substrates [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2016
Peatlands are scarce and threatened ecosystems in the semiarid region of Kyrgyzstan. Knowledge about the Kyrgyz peatlands is still poor and, especially, their genesis has hardly been investigated so far.

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

CivilEng, 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.

Paleohydrology and Machine-Assisted Estimation of Paleogeomorphology of Fluvial Channels of the Lower Middle Pennsylvanian Allegheny Formation, Birch River, WV

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Rivers transport sediments in a source to sink system while responding to allogenic controls of the depositional system. Stacked fluvial sandstones of the Middle Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian Stage, ∼310–306 Ma) Allegheny Formation (MPAF) exposed at Birch ...

Distribution and dietary habits of Lepomis gibbosus in Natura 2000 sites of Cyprus [PDF]

Nature Conservation
Species introductions are widely reported as a major threat to biodiversity conservation in Natura 2000 sites. Pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus was introduced in Europe in the late 19th century and is currently listed as Invasive Alien Species of Union ...

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

Geophysical 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 ...

The sedimentology and depositional environments of the Bastians Dal and Muslingebjerg formations: evidence for the earliest phases of Jurassic rifting in North-East Greenland

GEUS Bulletin, 2022
The aim of this study is to elucidate the character of the earliest phases of Jurassic rifting in North-East Greenland. To achieve this, detailed sedimentological analysis and geological mapping were undertaken on the outcrops of central Kuhn Ø (74°53’55’

Flood risk in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: A consideration of flood defences in a broadscale hydraulic model

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2023
A novel approach to consider local‐scale defence infrastructure in an urban environment, coupled with a broadscale hydraulic model framework, is applied to the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Failure of Grass Covered Flood Defences with Roads on Top Due to Wave Overtopping: A Probabilistic Assessment Method

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018
Hard structures, i.e., roads, are commonly found over flood defences, such as dikes, in order to ensure access and connectivity between flood protected areas.
