The Lower Khazir River provides a good example of changes in river alignment associated with neotectonic movements. The aim of this paper is to address the two following questions: 1How big an impact does the river exert upon the process of (fold) anticline growth? 2Where are the largest geomorphic changes along the lower course of the Khazir River and how are they connected to the sinuosity of...

ABSTRACT The analysis of downstream changes in ancient fluvial systems can better inform depositional models for foreland-basin systems. Herein we analyze the basal deposits Early Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation Utah to understand variety present and develop a model Sevier foreland basin. We also evaluate long-held interpretation braided origin these document numerous examples point-bar dep...

Flow features of a meandering river can vary seasonally and widely in the boreal zone, as seasonal variation discharges affect properties meander bends spatial location flow magnitudes. However, better understanding impacts consecutive high-discharge events zone requires further analyses. Thus, fluvial processes their magnitudes on different types (e.g., sinuosity, symmetricity) were analysed t...

Leatherback sea turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, are highly migratory predators that feed exclusively on gelatinous zooplankton, thus playing a unique role in coastal and pelagic food webs. From 2007 to 2010, we used satellite telemetry to monitor the movements and dive behavior of nine adult and eleven subadult leatherbacks captured on the Northeast USA shelf and tracked throughout the Northwest...

The windings of rivers have long fascinated their human observers. For example, Aboriginal legend explains the sinuous pattern of the modern Finke River (Fig. 1) as the creation of the immense and powerful Rainbow Serpent as he emerged during the Dreamtime from deep waterholes. Recently in PNAS (1), a new theory for the general origin of such sinuous flow patterns was published, which follows f...
