Keywords: Landslide, Flysch, landscape evolution, Quaternary sediments Human activities take place in a space, which is influenced mainly by Quaternary sediments and forms. They affect present day geomorphological ...

Vegetation restoration in gully beds enhances sediment deposition
veerle vanacker
Mountain ecosystems in developing countries are suffering from rapid land-use/land-cover change, induced by demographic growth and socio-economic development (Figure 1, Vanacker et al., 2003). Given their steep ...

Bodo Damm
Key words: Late Quaternary, glacier fluctuations, tentative stratigraphic sequences, Indus River basin The extent of the glaciation of High Asia during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the elevation of the ...

Quantification of sediment storage and flux in an alpine basin (Reintal, Bavarian Alps, Germany)
Joachim Goetz; Martin Geilhausen
This vignette deals with the quantification of sediment storage and sediment input and exemplifies how sediment is transferred through an alpine catchment system (Reintal, Bavarian Alps). The Reintal valley is ...

Lateroglacial landforms in subtropical high mountains: A case study from the Karakoram and Hindukush Mountains
Lasafam Iturrizaga
Lateroglacial landforms are located at the lateral margins of the glaciers and are part of the glacial landscape systems (Iturrizaga 2001). The term "lateroglacial" defines the ice-marginal areas at the ...

Moraine formation in a polar arid environment, McMurdo dry valleys, Antarctica
Sean Fitzsimons
The prevailing view of cold-based glaciers in geomorphology and glacial geology is that they are ineffective agents of erosion. This view stems from studies that have concluded that the adhesive bond between ice ...

Geomorphic controls on the slackwater deposition: Example from the Mahi River Basin, western India
Alpa Sridhar
The river basins of western India are characterized by colossal deposits of marine, fluvial and aeolian origin. A major bulk of these sediments has been deposited during the late Pleistocene under climatic and ...

Late Quaternary Tectonics and Basin Inversion: a case from the Lower Narmada valley, India
Laxman Chamyal
The Indian Plate is currently moving northeast at 5 cm/yr (2 in/yr), while the Eurasian Plate is moving northeast at only 2 cm/yr (0.8 in/yr). This is causing the Eurasian Plate to deform, and the Indian Plate to ...

Post-European settlement disturbance response of rivers in Bega catchment, South Coast, NSW, Australia
Kirstie Fryirs
Human activities have altered river systems across most of our planet. Most rivers now operate under fundamentally different conditions to those that existed prior to human disturbance. Habitat loss brought about ...
