Cyclical construction and destruction of flood dominated floodplains in semiarid central Australia
(1994)The morphostratigraphy of flood plains along unconfined reaches of the Todd River, central Australia, indicate that flood plain formation is dominated by high magnitude floods. Processes of flood plain destruction include ... -
Channel adjustment to extreme floods in arid central Australia.
(New Zealand Geographical Society, 1998) -
An Empirical Approach to Studying Debris Flows - Implications for Planetary Modeling Studies.
(2002)High-resolution images acquired by the Mars Global Survey Mars Orbiter Camera show gullies on the walls of impact craters and valley systems on Mars. Depositional aprons associated with these gullies have been interpreted ... -
Aeolian sediment transport pathways and aerodynamics at troughs on Mars
(2004)Interaction between wind regimes and topography can give rise to complex suites of aeolian landforms. This paper considers aeolian sediment associated with troughs on Mars and identifies a wider range of deposit types ... -
Dynamics of unusual debris flows on Martian sand dunes
(2004)Gullies that dissect sand dunes in Russell impact crater often display debris flow-like deposits in their distal reaches. The possible range of both the rheological properties and the flow rates are estimated using ... -
Dynamic river channel suggests a long-lived Noachian crater lake on Mars.
(2005)ecent images of the Noachian-age Holden Northeast Crater show spectacular meandering channels that form a complex 150 meter thick lacustrine river delta deposit confined to the northwest margin of the crater. We ... -

Sea Levels: change and variability during warm intervals
(Sage, 2006)The challenges associated with understanding precisely how climate affects sea level have been regular features of Progress Reports since the 1990s (e.g. Woodroffe, 1993; 1994, Woodroffe & Nash, 1995; Long, 2000; 2001; ... -
Recent aeolian erosion and deposition in the north polar plateau of Mars.
(2007)Background: Planum Boreum, the north polar plateau of Mars, displays four extensive low-albedo regions covered with widespread se dimentary deposits that are thick enough to partly or completely suppress the signature ... -
Mars global digital dune database and initial science results
(2007)A new Mars Global Digital Dune Database (MGD 3 ) constructed using Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) infrared (IR) images provides a comprehensive and quantitative view of the geographic distribution of moderate- ... -

Post-glacial relative sea-level observations from Ireland and their role in glacial rebound modelling
(John Wiley, 2008)The British Isles have been the focus of a number of recent modelling studies owing to the existence of a high-quality sea-level dataset for this region and the suitability of these data for constraining shallow earth ... -
The Island of Ireland: Drowning the Myth of an Irish Land-Bridge?
(2008)At the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) c. 26 000 calendar years ago, global sea levels were around 120 m lower than present due to the storage of water on land in the form of large, high-latitude ice sheets. This lowering of ... -
Holocene-aged sedimentary records of environmental changes and early agriculture in the lower Yangtze, China
(2008)Sedimentary evidence from a total of 21 AMS 14C dates and 192 pollen and charcoal and 181 phytolith samples from three study sites in the archaeologically rich lower Yangtze in China provides an indication of interactions ... -

Human Footprints on the Global Environment: Threats to Sustainability by Eugene A. Rosa, Andreas Diekmann, Thomas Dietz, & Carlo Jaeger (Eds.)
(ProQuest CSA, 2010)The topic of global environmental change (GEC) is of urgent importance today. To address planetary scale problems like climate change, biodiversity loss, or overconsumption it is important to understand the causes and ...
