Stability domains in barrier island dune systems
Early ecological descriptions of barrier island dune landscapes recognized the importance of biogeomorphic feedbacks and thresholds. However, these dynamics have not been formally linked to complexity theory. In this article, I develop models of dune landscape phase states, or stability domains, based on a synthesis of these prior studies and statistical analyses. Data for these analyses were o...
متن کاملScale-invariant topography and porosity variations in fluvial sedimentary basins
We consider a model of • floodplain evolving with channel •vulsion, deposition, •nd erosion. Avulsion is modeled as • r•ndom process in sp•ce and time. Sediment ransport is modeled by the diffusion equation (Culling's model). The power spectrum of v•ri•tions in the topographic profiles predicted by the model S(k) is proportional to k -2 (where k is the w•venumber). This is the Brown noise often...
متن کاملModeling Systematic Variations in Pronunciation
This paper describes the research efforts of the “Hidden Speaking Mode” group participating in the 1996 summer workshop on speech recognition. The goal of this project is to model pronunciation variations that occur in conversational speech in general and, more specifically, to investigate the use of a hidden speaking mode to represent systematic variations that are correlated with the word seq...
متن کاملTopography, relief, and TRMM-derived rainfall variations along the Himalaya
[1] Along the southern Himalayan topographic front, the Indian summer monsoon modulates erosive processes and rates. To investigate the influence of topography and relief on rainfall generation and resultant erosion, we processed satellite rainfall amounts for the last 8 years (1998–2005) from the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM). Based upon a spatial resolution of 5 5 km for the Hi...
متن کاملShell thickness variations and the long-wavelength topography of Titan
The long-wavelength topography of Titan has an amplitude larger than that expected from tidal and rotational distortions at its current distance from Saturn. This topography is associated with small gravity anomalies, indicating a high degree of compensation. Both observations can be explained if Titan has a floating, isostatically-compensated ice shell with a spatially-varying thickness. The s...
