Comparative photographs showing the change in dune morphology and vegetation cover at Doughboy Bay following a 12–15‐year period of sustained Ammophila arenaria control; from (a) densely vegetated shore‐aligned A. arenaria foredunes, to (b) sparsely vegetated wind‐aligned Ficinia spiralis nebkha.

We evaluate the biogeomorphological impacts of seaweed on materials commonly used in maritime built heritage restoration. After 6 months of exposure to intertidal conditions, we found no evidence of enhanced deterioration of mortar prepared using natural cement when covered with seaweed compared to uncovered mortar.

Biogeomorphic recovery of a river reach affected by mining
The Grogwynion reach of the River Ystwyth,Wales, affected by mining in the 19th and 20th centuries, has shown a progressive reversion to a sinuous single‐channel planform since 2001 from an active braided pattern. A critical factor has been a change in the extent and type of riparian vegetation occurring within the active zone of the river due to the ...

Glacial geomorphology and postglacial landforms, derived from LiDAR‐based digital terrain models, together with radiocarbon‐dated sediment sequences, form the basis for landscape reconstruction spanning c. 2000 years (10,500–8500 cal. bp). After formation of streamlined terrain and ribbed moraine tracts followed intense glaciofluvial activity at ...

Abstract Decision‐making for pesticide registration by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) relies upon crop‐specific scenarios in a tiered framework. These standard modeling scenarios are stated to represent “…sites expected to produce runoff greater than would be expected at 90% of the sites for a given crop/use.” This study developed a ...

Changing spatial distribution of water flow charts major change in Mars' greenhouse effect [PDF]
Early Mars had rivers, but the cause of Mars' wet-to-dry transition remains unknown. Past climate on Mars can be probed using the spatial distribution of climate-sensitive landforms. We analyzed global databases of water-worked landforms and identified changes in the spatial distribution of rivers over time.

Abstract Current climate change in the Arctic is unprecedented in the instrumental record, with profound consequences for the environment and landscape. In Arctic Sweden, aeolian sand dunes have been impacted by climatic changes since their initial formation after the retreat of the last glacial ice sheet.

Landform and landscape mapping, French Guiana (South America) [PDF]
In this paper two geomorphologic maps (landform level and landscape level) are presented covering the French Guianan rainforest (84,000 km2) using full-resolution Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data. The entire country was segmented into 224,000

CHARACTERISTICS AND ASSESSMENT OF SELECTED WATERFALLS FORMED IN DIFFERENT GEOLOGICAL BASEMENTS IN THAILAND [PDF]
Thailand is under the influence of the complicated tectonic settings, resulting in various geomorphological features, especially waterfalls. There has been no insightful research conducted to describe the relationship between the types of waterfalls and

Expansion of the Sahara Desert and shrinking of frozen land of the Arctic. [PDF]
Expansion of the Sahara Desert (SD) and greening of the Arctic tundra-glacier region (ArcTG) have been hot subjects under extensive investigations. However, quantitative and comprehensive assessments of the landform changes in these regions are lacking ...
