A seismic volume of a certain stratigraphic layer may be decomposed into components for channel analysis. In the first case study of stratigraphic interpretation, the relative amplitude of the first component outlines the channel. The relative amplitude of the second component discovers different lithological or stratigraphical features inside the channel. The relative amplitude of the third co...

The Guadix Basin developed as an endorheic depression during the Upper Miocene–Upper Pleistocene. Its principal palaeogeographical characteristics are a large lake in the eastern sector, an axial fluvial system and two fluvial systems transverse to it in the western sector. The uplift of a central sector of the Betic Cordillera during the Upper Pleistocene affected the study area, causing north...

Mangroves in gulf of Kachchh, Gujarat, India has been studied for grain size spectrum and textural parameters namely phi mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis. Grain size spectrum shows a marked variation in the upstream riverine input stretch. Variation of energy conditions is controlled by the fluvial profile in the channel. Textural pattern shows complicated profile as a result of ...

A surface processes model incorporating large-scale fluvial processes, local hill-slope processes, and glacial erosion is used to investigate the effect of glaciation on the relief of a fast-growing, narrow orogen. The results of several simulations show that: glaciers concentrate erosion near peaks; fluvial erosion is reduced downstream of glaciers; glaciers with frozen bases can lead to an in...
