• We conduct a multiproxy investigation of runoff system in Oman. understand formation processes, function, and soil/water management strategies. Runoff agriculture sustained small-scale farming from the 8th c BCE to mid-20th century. Data suggests farmers maximized orogenically-driven precipitation narrow catchments. Crop production specializes hydraulic technology diversifies after 9th CE. is...

Socio-hydrology is the science of human influence on hydrology and the influence of the water cycle on human social systems. This newly emerging discipline inherently involves a historic perspective, often focusing on timescales of several centuries. While data on human history is typically available for this time frame, gathering information on the hydrological situation during such a period c...

Pedological studies in thick sedimentary sequences are generally limited to the upper few meters. Field investigation of thick (~50 m) sand deposits on an emergent Pleistocene marine terrace in central California showed morphological differences between the solum at the surface and the deep regolith. Based on morphological and geochemical features, four units were identified within the regolith...

A integridade funcional da paisagem das bacias hidrográficas depende de como se sustentam os elementos que a compõem, natureza físico - bióticos (Geologia, Geomorfologia, Pedologia, Fitogeografia e Clima) derivados diferentes ações antrópicas. estabilidade vulnerabilidade processos erosivos na bacia consiste análise integrada destes elementos, forma orientar exploração área.

The study and mapping of evidences soil piping using non-destructive techniques is a key issue in quantitative geomorphology. This paper attempts to combine Aerial systems (Unmanned Vehicles (UAV)), physical chemical attributes, near-surface geophysical survey tools (ground penetrating radar electrical resistivity tomography) provide comprehensive understanding geometric features arid semi-arid...

Soil classifiers have taken their lead from biologists but have not produced an internationally accepted system even though the WRB is supported by the IUSS. More recently Mazaheri et al. (1995a, 1995b) have tried to introduce Fuzzy logic into soil classification. They achieved a small amount of success when their technique was applied to selected soils in Australia but failed when applied to o...
