Changes in the flowing drainage network and stream chemistry during rainfall events for two pre-Alpine catchments [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System SciencesMany headwater catchments contain non-perennial streams that flow only during wet conditions or in response to rainfall events. The onset and cessation of flow result in a dynamic stream network that periodically expands and contracts.

Application of satellite radar interferometry (PSInSAR) in analysis of secondary surface deformations in mining areas. Case studies from Czech Republic and Poland [PDF]
, 2018 Secondary deformations are ground movements occurring in areas of ceased underground mining. These are associated with delayed readjustment of rock mass resulting in subsidence, discontinuous deformations (sinks, cracks, etc.) due to destruction of ...

Mass movement susceptibility mapping using satellite optical imagery compared with InSAR monitoring: Zigui County, Three Gorges region, China [PDF]
, 2010 Mass movements on steep slopes are a major hazard to communities and infrastructure in the Three Gorges region, China. Developing susceptibility maps of mass movements is therefore very important in both current and future land use planning.
