Abstract:
O trabalho consiste na realização de um zoneamento geoambiental para a região de Piracicaba-SP, com base na análise de variáveis ambientais, principalmente de atributos do meio físico, tais como: geologia, solos, hidrologia, etc. A área estudada localiza-se na bacia hidrográfica do Rio Piracicaba, uma das mais importantes do estado de São Paulo e que vem apresentando intenso desenvolvimento econômico e consequentemente problemas de degradação ambiental. Este estudo foi realizado seguindo-se os pressupostos da cartografia geoambiental, mas utilizando-se também os procedimentos da cartografia ge

Abstract:
This thesis examines coastal form and sediments of the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand. An important aspect of coastal behaviour in this landscape stems from linkages between catchment and coast. Focus is therefore placed on the manner in which sediment delivered from catchment sources is redistributed within the shore and offshore domains. Coastal response is shown to depend on two factors: the form of the receiving sites and the mobility of sediments within them. Investigation of coastal landforms at a range of scales identifies the framework within which sedimentation takes place. Considera

Abstract:
This research is focused on mapping the geometries of surface and subsurface landforms and their relationship in the Niger Delta. Landforms on the surface are studied to improve our understanding of the spatial distribution of buried landforms. GIS techniques are applied to high resolution Landsat and SPOT imagery to map surface landforms, a necessary step in order to improve and better constraint subsurface modelling. Also, attributes from three dimensional seismic data are used to map buried landforms. Both techniques are focused on mapping the spatial distribution of landforms and analysis

Abstract:
The southern Chandeleur Islands are an ideal setting to study shoal evolution given their history of submergence and re-emergence. Here, numerical models shed light on the attendant processes contributing to shoal recovery/reemergence following a destructive storm event. Simulations of a synthetic winter storm along a cross-shore profile using Xbeach shows that convergence of wave-induced sediment transport associated with repeated passage of cold-fronts initiates aggradation, but does not lead to reemergence. A Delft3d model of the entire island chain shows that as these landforms aggrade alo

<p>Kongsfjordhallet is situated at 79° N on the North coast of Kongsfjorden, Spitsbergen.The landscape shows a large diversity of landforms and sediments and the aim of thisstudy has been to investigate the spatial distribution and temporal differences betweenthese landforms.The most prominent landform is interpreted as a lateral moraine dividing the area fromsoutheast to northwest. This is probably a sign of a standstill during the deglaciation ofan ice-sheet glacier tongue filling the fjord. The valley-glaciers at Kongsfjordhallet haveadvanced after this event and left end moraines on top of

Abstract:
Current riparian zone assessments focus on the morphological features of the stream channel and ocular vegetation measurements. This procedure fails to address the hydraulic features responsible for the floristic structure and composition of the riparian zone. We looked at how the geology and landforms function as drivers of groundwater and surface-water exchange. These can mitigate watershed processes via groundwater availability to shape riparian processes; e.g. discharge, seasonality. We hypothesized that groundwater surface-water exchange is a first order process and that it dictates ripar

Abstract:
Wollaston Peninsula and most of southern Victoria Island comprise Palaeozoic carbonate lowlands, scarps, and tableland situated between rises and arches of underlying Precambrian sedimentary and igneous rocks. Quaternary sediments are hummocky, thick and ice-cored near escarpments where ice flow resistance, thrusting and meltwater concentrated glacial debris; thinner, streamlined drift occurs in lowlands. Quaternary sediments are mainly Late Wisconsinan in age. Glacial sediments predominate but surficial raised marine and periglacial sediments are noted. Fluvial modification of the landscape i
