Geomorphology of Proglacial Systems
This book discusses the recession of alpine glaciers since the end of the Little Ice Age (LIA), which has been accelerating in the past decades. It provides an overview of the research in the field, presenting definitions and information about the different proglacial areas and systems. A number of case studies are from the PROSA project group which encompasses the expertise of geomorphologists, geologists, glaciologists and geodesists. The PROSA joint project (High-resolution measurements of morphodynamics in rapidly changing PROglacial Systems of the Alps) is determined to tackle the problems of geomorphic activity on sediment export through a quantification of sediment fluxes effected by the aforementioned geomorphic processes within the forefield of the Gepatschferner glacier (Central Alps, Austria).
Source-to-Sink Fluxes in Undisturbed Cold Environments
Provides the first quantitative overview of global source-to-sink fluxes in cold climate environments for graduate students and researchers.
Soil Erosion and Sediment Flux in Northern Jordan
This book combines new quantitative erosion measurement methods with a geochemical fingerprint and a model-based approach to measure erosion and sediment flux in the Wadi Al-Arab, a Mediterranean to semi-arid catchment in northwest Jordan. The outcomes reveal the local importance of soil erosion and sediment yield in connection with sedimentation and pollution of surface water bodies, propose managed aquifer recharge strategies that focus on in-channel constructions, and can be used to support local soil management strategies. In Jordan, one of the most water scarcity-affected countries in the world, erosion and sedimentation negatively impact integrative water resource management projects, ...
Geomorphology in Environmental Application
Papers and posters presented and discussed at a three geomorphological conferences: the 28th annual meeting of the Deutscher Arbeitskreis für Geomorphologie (German Geomorphological Working Group) in Cologne in 2002; the 29th annual meeting in Bern, Switzerland in 2003; and the geomorphological scientific session at the "Geographentag" in Berlin in 2003.
