Sandbox modeling is used to study the deformation of accretionary wedges caused by the subduction of oceanic ridges. The first experiment incorporates a massive ridge within a sand wedge. The wedge thickens and shortens when the forward propagation f the basal decollement ceases. The wedge thickening results in taper change, reactivation of preexisting thrusts, and retreat of the frontal part o...

While most of the world's large rivers are heavily engineered, channel response to engineering measures on decadal century and several 100 km scales is scarcely documented. We investigate Lower Rhine River (Germany-Netherlands) measures, in terms slope bed surface grain size. Field data show domain-wide incision, primarily associated with extensive narrowing. Remarkably, has increased upstream ...

Industrially utilized river basins are frequently exposed to contaminants originating from polluting activities. However, the physical instability and probability of mass movement mobilization of contaminated soil into rivers have only received little attention. In this study, we present a GIS-based method to produce a regional overview of where and how contaminated areas are potentially expose...

Understanding the interaction between bacterial cells and solid surfaces is essential to our attempts to quantify and predict the transport of microbes in groundwater aquifers, whether from the point of view of contamination or from that of bioremediation. The sorption of bacterial cells suspended in groundwater to porous medium grains was examined in batch studies. Bacterial sorption to clean ...

in this study, some habitat characteristics of iranian rose (hulthemia persica) were studied in gonbad watershed in hamedan providence, iran. soil samples were taken by a systematic randomized method at elevation 2000-2400 m above sea level. samples were taken from 0-30 cm depth. in the laboratory, n, p, k% and organic matter (oc%), soil acidity (ph), conductivity (ec) and soil texture were det...

Rangelands worldwide have more shrubs now, and subterranean rangeland rodents show close interaction to shrubs when choosing a burrowing site. The study was conducted in Otindag Sandy Land in Inner Mongolia, China with the objective of determining the effects of slope position on spatial pattern and interaction of shrubs; how rodents choose their habitat in different slope; and shrubs and roden...

The embankment dam has the advantage that it can be built in all sub-base conditions although poor topography, but weakness is seepage, so research on seepage needed. This study uses numerical modelling with GeoStudio program: SEEP/W and SLOPE/W. data used from Tugu Dam, Trenggalek, while subbase five soil types, namely clay, silty silt, sand, sand. simulation divided into two; first condition ...
