Vignettes are stand-alone, illustrated electronic case studies that teach about geomorphology, surface processes, and/or Quaternary history. Vignettes can be used alone or in combination with the "Key Concepts in Geomorphology", the first in a new generation of textbooks. Vignettes allow faculty to customize the learning resources they offer students to enrich and personalize student learning experiences.

Sediment transport (dis)connectivity in the upper Hunter catchment, NSW, Australia
Kirstie Fryirs
Sediment flux within river systems has been described as a 'jerky conveyor belt' (Ferguson, 1981). The distribution of riverine sediment stores and sinks, and the frequency with which sediment is added or ...

A 54-year record of sediment yield linked with proglacial sedimentary dynamics
Martin Geilhausen, Zurich University of Applied Sciences
Proglacial zones are newly formed landscapes in front of or just beyond the outer limits of glaciers (fig. 1). They are out of equilibrium with the current climate and therefore highly sensitive to climate change. ...

Suspended sediment yield from an Alpine proglacial zone - quantification and controls
Martin Geilhausen, Zurich University of Applied Sciences
Proglacial zones are newly-formed landscapes in transition from glacial to non-glacial conditions which are located in front of or just beyond the outer limits of glaciers. In the context of climate change and ...

Flood-prone Low-lying Territories along the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast
Atanas Palazov
Over recent decades the increased frequency of natural hazards resulting from global climate change has become one of the most severe problems affecting sustainability of costal zones. In particular, low-lying ...

Using High-Resolution Topographic Data to Document Large Wood Sources in a New England Watershed
Alan Kasprak, Utah State University-Uintah Basin
The presence of large woody debris (LWD) in streams has been associated with an array of ecological benefits. The rerouting of water around and over LWD (defined as pieces of trees > 10 cm diameter and 1 m long) ...

Complex interactions between channel morphology and invasive riparian plants in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona
Daniel Cadol, Colorado State University
Ephemeral channels in the semi-arid Colorado Plateau region are subject to a cyclic process of cutting and filling resulting from variation in precipitation patterns (eg. Leopold, 1976), variation in land cover ...
