Future global warming has a number of implications for fluvial geomorphology because of changes in such phenomena as rates of evapotranspiration, precipitation characteristics, plant distributions, plant stomatal closure, sea levels, glacier and permafrost melting, and human responses. Potential changes in rivers are outlined in this review in the context of changes in the intensity of rainfall...

[1] We show evidence of very recent ( 25–40 Myr) geologic activity on the eastern flank of Olympus Mons volcano that includes a suite of fluvial (channel networks), volcanic (emplacement of lava flows and dikes), and tectonic (wrinkle ridges and troughs) processes. The combination and youth of these features confirms the importance of geological activity continuing to the present on Mars. Citat...

Magnetic vortices intermittently flow through preferred channels when they are forced in or out of a superconductor. We study this behavior using a cellular model, and find that the vortex flow can make braided rivers strikingly similar to aerial photographs of braided fluvial rivers, such as the Brahmaputra. By developing an analysis technique suitable for characterizing a selfaffine (multi)fr...

Abstract To mitigate lake eutrophication, phosphorus (P) availability can be managed by iron (Fe) amendments, which bind P in the water column and settle as Fe oxy-hydroxides. In fluvial-lacustrine system Spree, oxy-hydroxides enter lakes due to lignite mining Lusatian Area (NE Germany). We hypothesized that amount of retained from sediments is positively correlated with their content. Column e...

Abstract The Cretaceous sediments in southwestern Nigeria are host to one of the largest bitumen deposits world. In current paper, an integrated study on sedimentology, palynology, and applied petroleum geochemistry Maastrichtian-Paleocene Araromi Formation was used determine depositional environments hydrocarbon potentials formation eastern Dahomey Basin. Four sedimentary lithofacies were iden...

[1] The formation of inner gorges cut into bedrock has been explained as relief rejuvenation by fluvial incision in response to rapid base level drop, repeated glaciations, frequent pore pressure–driven landsliding focused at hillslope toes, or catastrophic outburst flows from natural dam failures. Prominent inner gorges occur in soft Mesozoic Bündner schist and lower Tertiary flysch units of t...
