Development of Palimpsest Landscapes
Jasper Knight
In Physical Geography, a palimpsest landscape is one where, in any given region, the different landforms that make up the landscape are not of the same age, with some surface landforms being very young because they ...

A general bedload transport equation for homogeneous grains
Peng Gao, Syracuse University
Bed load is one of two types of sediment load (the other one suspended load) transported in natural rivers (Fig. 1) and is originated from channel bed or banks. Although it only takes about 5% to 20% of the total ...

Precipitation Phase and Runoff Characteristics in High Relief Topography
Christopher Tennant, Idaho State University
Mountainous watersheds are characterized by high relief and complex meteorological conditions. Because temperature decreases with elevation, high relief landscapes experience strong differences in the dominant ...

Volcanic History and Cinder Cone Erosion at Newberry Volcano, Oregon
Steve Taylor, Western Oregon University
Surface landforms result from a balance of constructional and erosional processes operating at geological time scales of 102 to 105 years. The landscape evolves over time as masses of earth material are transferred ...

Marine terraces in mid-latitude settings: the case of the Oregon USA coast
Harvey Kelsey, Humboldt State University
Marine terraces are terraced landforms that occur as elevated flats inboard of, and parallel to, coastlines. Outstanding examples of a stair-step landscape of marine terraces can be found in many places in the ...

Effects of urbanization on stream channel geometry in the Illinois River watershed in Northwest Arkansas
Amanda Keen-Zebert
The land-use changes associated with urbanization have a range of critical impacts on watersheds, stream geomorphology, and habitat. Much of the thinking about how streams respond to urbanization proliferating ...
