Erosion and sedimentation are normal geologic processes which are usually accelerated by irrigating agricultural lands. Of the sediment in irrigation runoff, 70% was removed in a sedimentation pond. Removal efficiency correlated well with flow rate and sediment concentration. Pond design should provide maximum velocity reduction early in pending, allow adequate storage space for the larger part...

BACKGROUND: Inland waterways provide many benefits to society but serve primarily as conduits of water and sediment. Bank erosion, channel sedimentation, and reservoir infilling remain challenges to the effective management of waterways. Reservoirs have a limited service life, associated in part with the reduced capacity caused by infilling. The USACE manages more than 600 reservoirs, many of w...

Syn-rift deep-water muds and mudstones preserve a relatively complete stratigraphic record of tectonic climatic events. This paper investigates mud-dominated deposits stratigraphy using core from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 381 sites M0078 M0079 in the Gulf Corinth, Greece. Millimetre-scale logging defined several bed types: homogeneous laminated mud beds, bioturbate...

Records of shallow-marine ramps with the mixing carbonate and siliciclastic sediments are common throughout geological time. All these records have pure deposits as end members, occurring contemporaneously in distinct depositional regions along ramp, transitional hybrid facies between them. The two member can mix different scales alternate time due to climatic changes regressions transgressions...

Coralligenous biogenic reefs are among the most diverse marine habitats in the Mediterranean Sea. The northern Adriatic mesophotic coralligenous outcrops host very rich and diverse epibenthic assemblages. Several studies quantified the low temporal variability and high spatial heterogeneity of these habitats, while processes driving structuring and differentiation are still poorly understood. T...

The aim of this work was to generate an inventory of the data on radiocarbon datings obtained from sediments of the São Paulo Bight (southern Brazilian upper margin) and to analyze the data in terms of Late Quaternary sedimentary processes and sedimentation rates. A total of 238 radiocarbon datings from materials collected using differents ampling procedures was considered for this work. The se...
