Conceptualisation of geo-hydrological characteristic erosive runoff are particular importance and has been required in recent soil erosion control. This study aimed to explore the feasibility applying hydrological attributes characterize surface pathways process hillslope due rainfall. Combined with sub-millimeter high-resolution laser scanning computer digital image processing method, three in...

In spite of the strategic importance of the national Portuguese road network, there are no recent studies concerned with either the identification of contributory factors to road collisions or collision prediction models (CPMs) for this type of roadway. This study presents an initial contribution to this problem by focusing on the national roads NR-14, NR-101 and NR-206, which are located in Po...

Floodplains of meandering rivers are colonized with various plant species that differ in how they stabilize streambanks, modulating sinuosity evolution. Here, we compile observations meander migration from North and South America, categorizing channels based on the riparian vegetation as cropland, forest, grassland, rainforest. Our analysis reveals most stable meanders those developed rainfores...

The potential impacts of land use on large woody debris (LWD) were examined in Sourdough Creek Watershed, a rapidly growing area encompassing Bozeman, Montana, USA. We identified six land classes within a 250 m buffer extending on either side of Sourdough Creek and assessed aquatic habitat and geomorphologic variables within each class. All LWD pieces were counted, and we examined 14 other vari...

Abstract. We present a set of observations on meltwater meandering rivulets ice and compare them (qualitatively quantitatively) to morphologies commonly found in channels different media. The include data from planned centimeter-scale experiments incidental self-formed millimeter-scale rivulets. Our show pulsed lateral migration features, undercut banks overhangs, meander bend skewness, cutoffs...

The tectonic and fluvial setting of the Rhine-Meuse river system in Lower Rhine Embayment rift is exceptionally well known. 19th century, pre-regulation courses three rivers are used to study a postulated sinuosity response faulting. fault-perpendicular Meuse River shows patterns changes at different spatial scales. large-scale (>5 km) related mainly faulting-induced subsurface lithology, deter...

In a family of 7 siblings in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2 of the most remarkable national personalities decided to follow different fields at the beginning of the 20th century. Their life's work would, however, intersect in at least 2 respects: the quest for innovation and a passion for sinuosity. The achievements of Paulo and Oscar Niemeyer are landmarks in the history of neurosurgery and archite...
