Origin of the Bulge Topography Within Caloris Basin, Mercury
Abstract Caloris basin on Mercury has a massive circular bulge topography imprinted with unique fault sets. A variety of deformational processes have been proposed to have influenced their formation, including both global contraction and basin evolution, as well as the deposition and weight of the volcanic infill.

Lowland rivers with minimal topographic demarcation present significant challenges for geomorphological mapping. This study developed a detailed 1:50,000 geomorphological map of the Lys Valley (Belgium) by generating a relative elevation topographic ...

A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration
Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...

Soil Organic Matter Stabilization by Polyvalent Cations in a Buried Alkaline Soil
Abstract Buried paleosols can store large quantities of organic carbon (C), much of which persists for millennia due to isolation from surface processes that promote decomposition. Subsoil organic matter (SOM) persistence is often enhanced by mineral associations and ionic conditions—particularly high clay content and polyvalent cations—that limit ...

A Typology of Australian Terrestrial Bird Communities
ABSTRACT Aim Holistic measurement of the response of fauna communities to interventions requires suitable community condition metrics. However, the development of such metrics is hindered by the absence of broad‐scale typologies at suitable spatial and ecological resolutions. We aimed to derive a preliminary typology of terrestrial bird communities for

ABSTRACT Hummocky terrains are characterised by various geomorphological features that typically record processes associated with the downwasting of ice sheets. Common landforms in these areas include ramparts, linear ridges, kettle holes and ice‐walled lake plains.

Active microwave remote sensing of earth/land, chapter 2 [PDF]
Geoscience applications of active microwave remote sensing systems are examined. Major application areas for the system include: (1) exploration of petroleum, mineral, and ground water resources, (2) mapping surface and structural features, (3) terrain ...

Reservoir Regulation has Brought a Classic River‐Dominated Delta Under Human Control
Abstract Damming of wild rivers has trapped vast quantities of sediment that would otherwise nourish deltas, causing severe sediment deficits and accelerating delta erosion worldwide. The Yellow River Delta (YRD), once prograding seaward at ∼10 km2/yr, began retreating at −5.6 km2/yr following completion of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir.
