The measurements obtained by remote sensing are influenced by issues related to relief. Based on that, this paper aims to analyze the spatial and temporal dynamics of the net radiation (Rn), considering the influence of ...

Alongshore flow in the direction of propagation of coastal trapped waves can result in upwelling at the shelfbreak. The intensity of this upwelling can be comparable in magnitude to wind-driven coastal upwelling, with its ...

Although climate exerts a major control on mineral weathering and soil formation processes, the combined effect of vegetation and topography can influence the rate and extent of chemical weathering at the hillslope scale. ...

We used the decay-with-distance effect of diffracted waves generated from the interaction of a plane wave with a geometric singularity, to establish the connection between the spectral response of a topographic profile and ...

The 1994 Northridge earthquake (M-w = 6.7) triggered extensive rock slope failures in Pacoima Canyon, immediately north of Los Angeles, California. Pacoima Canyon is a narrow and steep canyon incised in gneissic and granitic ...

Despite the irrefutable amount of theoretical and field evidence of the impact of topographic effects on the local response at a site the engineering community still lacks practical methods for its consideration in a ...

Aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of flood pulse regime attributes (pulse frequency, pulse average intensity and amplitude, and flooded days) on the floristic differentiation of the Argentinian Middle Parana ...

High elevations and steep slopes are currently observed in ancient mountain ranges despite active tectonics having ceased tens to hundreds of millions of years ago. Explanations for landscape dynamics in these settings ...
