Abstract:
The Planetary And Natural scene Generation Utility (P ANGU) , developed at the University of Dundee for the European Space Agency (ESA), successfully generates stochastic Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of simulated planetary surfaces. P ANGU was developed to allow development and extensive testing of vision-guided navigation software for autonomous planetary landers. PANGU's initial scope was to model airless bodies such as the Moon and Mercury. ESA has outlined the Mars exploration programme for the next few decades as part of its Aurora programme.

This study concerns the geomorphology of the coastline of the Qatar Peninsula. In all, the coastline is approximately 750kg long and is dominated by Tertiary and Quaternary limestone rocks. Since little previous work has been carried out into the coastal geomorphology of the Arabian Gulf in general and Qatar in particular, a fundamental task was to undertake a classification of the coastal types. There are: 1) sand dunes and sheets; 2) sabkhas; 3) cliffs; 4) coral reefs; 5) beaches and 6) mangroves.

Orogenic plateaux provide a good study area by juxtaposing different tectonic and climatic settings that are served by the same sediment transport systems, allowing for observation of different variables on the same or similar fluvial systems.

The geomorphology and sedimentology of terminal fluvial systems. Fluvial systems operating within drylands commonly experience downstream discharge reduction due to infiltration, evaporation and limited tributary inputs. Sediment bodies developed within the distal zones of rivers that do not drain into the sea or a lake (terminal fluvial systems) are currently represented by the terminal fan facies model. This model summarises the development of a distally thinning and fining sedimentary wedge from a coeval network of low sinuosity distributary channels as induced by the sub aerial termination

Differential compaction of the tuff may also have led to jointing. The resultant joint planes provide avenues for water migration and consequent focusing of chemical weathering.

Coastal wetlands sequester carbon, attenuate waves and storm surge, filter out nutrients and pollutants, and act as nursery habitat for important fisheries. The value of these ecosystems is underscored by their vulnerability to climate change, especially sea level rise. To persist under the threat of rising sea level, coastal wetlands must build elevation vertically. Delivery of sediment to the marsh during tidal flooding is a key component in the ecogeomorphic feedbacks that lead to elevation gain.

The coarse texture of a gravel bed is maintained by flow strengths capable of moving the gravel and removing fine sediments, thereby providing loose substrate that enhances its ability to conduct flow (i.e., its hydraulic conductivity). The flow strength that corresponds to the beginning of movement (i.e., entrainment) of a grain on a gravel bed is variable and, therefore, it needs to be measured to predict flow levels capable of bed texture maintenan
