Spatio-Temporal Characteristics of the Morphological Development of Gully Erosion on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Remote Sensing
Morphology is an important characteristic of the hydraulic and gravitational processes driving gully erosion. In this study, field scouring experiments were conducted on five experimental plots using terrestrial laser scanning to study gully erosion ...

A multidisciplinary study of an exceptional prehistoric waste dump in the mountainous inland of Calabria (Italy) : implications for reconstructions of prehistoric land use and vegetation in Southern Italy [PDF]

, 2020
The mountainous inland of northern Calabria (Southern Italy) is known for its sparse prehistoric human occupation. Nevertheless, a thorough multidisciplinary approach of field walking, geophysical survey and invasive research led to the discovery of a ...

Geomorphic Responses to Post‐Grazing Recovery and Stream Restoration in Semiarid Grassland Streams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semiarid grassland streams are sensitive to land use, climate, extreme discharges, and internal geomorphic thresholds that drive episodic erosion. Rooted in a process‐based philosophy and commonly applied to historically wood‐rich, beaver‐modified systems, low‐tech process‐based restoration using structures is increasingly being extended to ...

Leverage Points for Meaningful Participation: A 5‐Point Framework From a Rural South African Landscape

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alternative forms of natural resource management are required. Participation of local actors is necessary but not sufficient, for moving away from the conventional top‐down approaches. This paper develops a 5‐point framework for enabling meaningful participation in rural landscape governance.

Who Makes the Far Right? Exploring Membership Application Data of the National Front of Australia

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
This paper addresses a problem for scholars examining the question of who supports far right political parties or movements. Due to the semi‐clandestine or oppositional nature of far right groups, historians, as well as those in adjacent disciplines, have often been unable to gain access to sufficient records or data to conduct analysis of who supports

Experimental study of rainfall and inflow characteristics effects on gully head erosion on the Loess Plateau

Geoderma
Gully head erosion is considered a major form of soil degradation on the Loess Plateau, where distinctive topographic conditions promote runoff convergence during rainfall events and consequently intensify gully head retreat.

Topographic thresholds in gully development on the hillslopes of communal areas in Ngqushwa Local Municipality, Eastern Cape, South Africa [PDF]

, 2009
The relationships between the spatial distribution of gully erosion and topographic thresholds in the form of slope angle, position and configuration, as well as land use change in the form of abandoned lands were examined in several affected catchments ...

Assessing the Vulnerability of an Inuit Archaeological Site in a Changing Periglacial Environment: A Novel Multimethod Geophysical Approach in Arctic Geoarchaeology

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With northern regions warming at twice the global rate, assessing the state of archaeological sites in these areas is critically important. In this study, we used a multimethod geophysical approach (ERT, GPR, and EMI) to characterize the current geocryological conditions of an Inuit archaeological site on South Aulatsivik Island (Labrador ...

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.
