Based on the identified typomorphic features of placer gold, a set determined morphogenetic criteria is proposed to identify genesis gold content and different sources in platform areas, which allow more correctly selecting search methods improving efficiency forecasting ore deposits. Gold particles larger than 0.25 mm with signs wind-worn processing indicate formation autochthonous aeolian pla...

Rivers around the world are being regulated by dams to accommodate the needs of a rapidly growing global population. These regulatory efforts usually oppose the natural tendency of rivers to flood, move sediment, and migrate. Although an economic benefit, river regulation has come at unforeseen and unevaluated cumulative ecological costs. Historic and contemporary approaches to remedy environme...

The Sibari Plain (northeastern Calabria) shows a well-developed stair of late Quaternary marine/coastal terraces resulting from the interaction between sea level fluctuations and tectonic uplift. This paper (i) provides stratigraphic description terraced deposits Raganello Coscile rivers, (ii) assesses relative controls eustacy uplift on staircase formation, (iii) unravels morphosedimentary evo...

The juxtaposition of natural levees results in alluvial ridges with a unique fluvial record. Our aims were to (1) identify the Upper Tisza (Hungary); (2) determine their morphological characteristics; and (3) reconstruct Late Quaternary history region. oldest paleo-meander was abandoned ca. 29 ka ago; referring early avulsion Tisza. Five identified intensive activity at 12-13 ka, 7.7-8.6 6.1-6....

Nowadays the use of remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the most powerful cost effective tools to identify and discover the available groundwater resources. In this paper, Lithological Units, Lineaments, Slope, Topography, Drainage density, Vegetation and Isohyets lines have been achieved by stations and through remote sensing and GIS techniques. All layers of diffe...
