The geomorphological map of the alluvial fans in the Colalao del Valle-Quilmes area represents the first detailed map of the Santa María Valley, Northwest Argentina. The map was made using photointerpretation of aerial ...

Patagonia is the only continental territory exposed to the southern westerlies. The speed and frequency of these westerly winds generate a landscape strongly influenced by aeolian processes. This research shows a charact...

The geomorphological materials and forms of the Maraca area of Roraima, Brazil are described, an their sgnificance for land development examined. Significant contrasts are noted in areas presently under rainforest and sa...

Livestock production in semi-arid areas is possible due to the presence of permanent water sources, which create a radial pattern of grazing intensity known as the piosphere. For this reason, we predicted that permanent ...

The purpose of the present work is to study the effect of an isolated depression and a related rocky outcrop on the flow field in a mesotidal channel of the Bahía Blanca Estuary, Argentina. To this end, measurements of ...

Quantitative geomorphic methods developed within the past few years provide means of measuring size and form properties of drainage basins. Two general classes of descriptive numbers are (1) linear scale measurements, wh...

El análisis palinológico de una sucesión sedimentaria expuesta en la margen derecha del Río Salado (35° 55? S - 57° 53? O), a 30 km de la costa actual de la Bahía Samborombón, permitió reconstruir la historia de...

La provincia de Tucumán, Argentina, presenta una densa red fluvial, con ríos que han manifestado, en los últimos 45 años, comportamientos complejos y dinámicos a consecuencia de los elevados caudales que les son apo...

Una de las herramientas más utilizadas para evidenciar la susceptibilidad de un determinado espacio ante un fenómeno y la capacidad de adaptarse al mismo, es el Índice de Vulnerabilidad Costera. El aumento del nivel d...

Este trabajo se desarrolla en el Área Metropolitana de Mendoza (AMM), ciudad de clima árido con dos contextos geomorfológicos diferentes. El objetivo consiste en analizar la relación entre el comportamiento y confort...

In viticulture, understanding the spatial variability of natural factors influencing vineyard potential is essential for terroir characterization. In the present study, we present a data-driven protocol that integrates c...

This article examines how floodwater can become a driver of urban resilience in Addis Ababa. Focusing on the Upper Kebena River basin, the study analyzes how rapid urbanization, steep geomorphology, low- infiltration soi...

ABSTRACT The river continuum concept predicts that gradual changes in river geomorphology and hydrology can drive longitudinal changes in aquatic community structure. Accordingly, we evaluated how environmental variables...

Microplastics are currently considered widespread marine pollutants, accumulating in sediments and shorelines around the world. Spatial distribution of microplastics in marine sediments is consequence of a combination of...

En este trabajo se realiza una aproximación a la geodiversidad y el estado de conservación de la costa pampeana de Buenos Aires mediante el desarrollo de un estimador indirecto cualitativo, basado en variables geomorfo...
