This chapter presents and discusses the avulsive nature of the Pantanal rivers and shows how the ever-changing drainage network influences the surface hydrology and ecology. Besides, the systemic portrait here outlined ...

Fluvial terraces are considered key relief markers to understand environmental changes in the nature time scale, acting as paleo-indicators of morphogenetic processes occurred during the Quaternary, especially the Holocene. ...

The interactions among hydrogeomorphic features of large lowland rivers regulate the spatio-temporal fluvial dynamics and influence the occurrence and understanding of the ecological patterns in these systems. We studied ...

A geomorphological cartography of the Cafayate depression (NW Argentina) at a scale of 1:20,000 is presented. TheMain Mapwas made with satellite images from 2009 to 2016 and aerial photographs from various dates. The area ...

Bars are semi-submerged fluvial forms associated with the availability of sediments and a temporal dynamic, whose dimensions are controlled by the flow and depth of the channel. Attachment bars are very common in large ...

Understanding the social and environmental processes occurring in a watershed, and creating educational strategies to facilitate the mediation of knowledge related to the environment of contextualized way emerge as a ...

Brazil has a rich density of superficial water bodies in its territory, this is associated with one of the largest potentials for hydroelectric power generation in the world. This potential has gradually been explored with ...

Os regimes de vazões dos rios correspondem a um importante indicador para a compreensão e estabelecimento da disponibilidade hídrica de uma bacia e para a manutenção da integridade ecológica. Em decorrência, seu monitoramento ...
