Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ancient Olympia was one of the most important sanctuaries and the venue for the Olympic Games in Greek and Roman times. Its remains are located in the Olympia Terrace (Peloponnese, Greece) at the present‐day confluence of the rivers Alpheios and Kladeos at the base of Mount Kronos.

Geomorphometric delineation of floodplains and terraces from objectively defined topographic thresholds [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2017 Floodplain and terrace features can provide information about current and past fluvial processes, including channel response to varying discharge and sediment flux, sediment storage, and the climatic or tectonic history of a catchment.

Pedogenesis of Fluvial Terrace Soils Related to Geomorphic Processes in Central Taiwan
Land, 2023 Pedogenetic features of the soils could be a proxy for revealing the landform surface processes. Our work first analyzed the particle size distributions and lithological discontinuities (LDs) of the soils in the midstream of the Zoushui River, central ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terraced fields and the Gully Land Reclamation Project (GLRP) are important soil and water conservation measures, widely constructed in China's Loess Plateau and other ecologically fragile areas in the world. However, under large‐scale governance scenarios, the impacts of the “terraced fields‐GLRP” cascade system on water and sediment ...

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.

Des diagnostics basés sur le calcul des probabilités en vallée de l’Ariège
Archéopages, 2022 The legal statutes of diagnostic test trenches often contain a percentage of surface to be tested, and leaves choice of method to the team in the field. The technique consisting in regular and systematic soundings developed in northern France to respond ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The geometry of alluvial river channels can give insight into their stability, which can inform predictions of morphological change, flood risk and ecological degradation. Fundamental hydraulic geometry relations can be used to estimate the equilibrium dimensions of stable river channels by evaluating the balance between the erodibility of bed
