Hokkaido is divided to three soil regions, that is, the northern, cetnral and southern regions as shown in Fig. 1. But the brown forest soils with leached top horizon are widely distributed in the southern soil region where the occurrence of the podzolic soils could not be expected under the recent bio-climatic conditions.

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Abstract Spatial heterogeneity, manifested as strong variability in hydraulic conductivity (K) within geological formations, exerts a fundamental control on groundwater flow and solute transport. Because K can vary over multiple orders of magnitude in complex three‐dimensional patterns, predicting contaminant plume migration remains a long‐standing ...

The studies of paleosoils buried beneath burial mounds of the Early, Middle, and Late Sarmatian time (4th c. BC to 4th c. AD) were carried out in the dry and desert steppes of the Lower Volga river area (the Volga and Yergenino uplands, the Caspian ...

Dating Methods of Pleistocene Deposits and Their Problems: VII. Paleosols
Paleosols, particularly buried paleosols, have proved valuable stratigraphic markers in many Quaternary studies. They are most commonly found buried by loess in central Europe and the United States, and by volcanic ash in the Pacific margins.

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin
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.

Abstract Seismogenic faults shape continental landscapes, drive crustal deformation and influence fluid exchange between the lithosphere and atmosphere. Yet, quantitative links between fault activity, exhumation and near‐surface environmental evolution remain poorly understood. Here, structural (meso‐ and micro‐scale) investigations are integrated with

Organic matter in Holocene paleosols in the US Mid-Continent [PDF]
Paleosols are ancient soils that possess information about the earth’s environmental and climatic conditions in the past. Buried paleosols are formed by the burial of surface horizon soils by younger layers of sediments over time.
