It has been suggested that this configuration is an outcome of tectonic shortening that “squeezed” the rivers together. Although the tectonic and surface processes in this region have been extensively studied, the processes that led to this configuration remain controversial. Here, we investigate the potential role of drainage-divide migration in forming the Parallel Rivers. We demonstrate, based on geomorphologic analysis of divide stability between the parallel rivers, that while the two western divides (Nmai-Nu, Nu-Lancang) are likely migrating eastward, the eastern divide (Lancang-Jinsha) is roughly stable. This pattern suggests that the formation of the Parallel Rivers is associated with an abutment of the migrating divides against the fixed one. GPS and precipitation data combined with prior research suggest that the migrations of the two western divides are driven by the spatial variations in precipitation and rock uplift. Concurrently the stability of the eastern divide is influenced by a combination of climatic and tectonic factors, as well as a historical river capture event. This implies that the formation of the Parallel Rivers has not necessarily been an outcome of east-west tectonic shortening but has been influenced by the spatial variations in precipitation and tectonic uplift.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"468 ","pages":"Article 109513"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142661853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The question of how channel response to urbanisation can be accurately predicted amid multiple driving factors remains a significant scientific challenge. Numerous efforts have been made to address this issue over the past 80 years. Nevertheless, channel response resulting from urbanisation differs across physiographic regions, making it difficult to predict. The main goal of this study is to investigate the most important factors influencing morphological changes, such as channel area, in streams with urbanised catchments. To accomplish this aim, we reviewed the literature on the application of hydraulic geometry models to urban-impacted rivers worldwide. We set out to investigate two specific questions: (i) to what extent and under what circumstances can urban stream bankfull cross-sectional area be predicted by catchment area and impervious cover metrics? and (ii) is stream bankfull width more susceptible than stream bankfull depth to urban-induced enlargement? However, over 90 % of the urban channels studied in the literature we reviewed showed irregular response patterns to urbanisation, owing to the complex interplay of local factors, such as geology, sediment, hardpoints, and riparian vegetation. Our most important conclusion is that local context is an important controller of stream channel response to urbanisation. While catchment area is a good predictor of channel area in some urban sites, it is a poor predictor of channel area in other urban sites. This contrasts with non-urban sites, where catchment area usually predicts channel area more strongly. In addition, impervious cover alone, which represents the direct hydrological impact of urbanisation, is insufficient to fully explain channel enlargement and incision. Therefore, models of channel response to urbanisation must consider the specific local factors that drive or limit these responses in order to be effective as predictive and explanatory tools.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"468 ","pages":"Article 109511"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142661884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Earthquake epicenters and paleoseismological studies show that eastern rift margin faults (ERMF) were active during late Quaternary south of a restraining bend in the Mississippi Valley Rift fault complex, but the ERMF zone north of the restraining bend (ERM-N) and underlying the linear ridges is seismically quiescent. A previous P-wave seismic reflection survey across the most prominent linear ridge (Rives lineament) revealed that it overlies a horst in Eocene sediment. To ascertain whether the Rives lineament could have been produced by surface faulting/folding, we collected electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and ground penetrating radar (GPR) profiles to image the ridge's shallow subsurface features. We interpret shallow folding and faulting of late Pleistocene sediment in our ERT and GPR images. Additionally, convexity of multiple topographic profiles of scarps along margins of the Rives lineament was quantified and compared to the convexity of profiles of known neotectonic scarps and of fluvial terrace riser profiles within the region. Comparison of these profiles reveals a high degree of similarity between the scarps along the Rives lineament margins and the Holocene Reelfoot thrust scarp. When combined, our results strongly suggest late Pleistocene or Holocene folding and faulting created this ridge despite its current seismic quiescence, and thus they provide useful insight for assessing the seismic hazard potential of quiescent faults in strike-slip systems in general. We conclude that the late Quaternary series of movements documented on the Reelfoot thrust was initiated to accommodate crustal shortening after transpressional fault movements on the ERM-N became inactive in late Pleistocene or early Holocene and that movement along the ERM-N may resume if the Reelfoot thrust has an interval of inactivity in the future. Our results suggest how fault interactions within a strike-slip system can change, making faults with significant amounts of seismic potential appear as though they are inactive.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"468 ","pages":"Article 109502"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142661885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dryland river character and behaviour is determined by a complex and dynamic interplay between extrinsic controls and intrinsic processes. Polacca and Oraibi Wash are two discontinuous dryland rivers, tributaries of the Little Colorado River in semi-arid, north-eastern Arizona, USA. Valley-scale morphometrics and downstream longitudinal trends were derived from remote sensing and geospatial analyses, hydraulic modelling, and field measurements, to assess the key controls, patterns, and processes driving channel diminution and discontinuity. Both rivers are entrenched along most of their valleys and experience downstream hydro-geomorphic changes as valley confinement eases in their low gradient floodplains. The rivers exhibit non-equilibrium responses to a concomitant decline in calculated discharge (from ∼82 to &lt;4 m<sup>3</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>), stream power (from ∼334 to &lt;5 W m<sup>−2</sup>), and channel cross-sectional area (from ∼82 to &lt;3 m<sup>2</sup>), which are the principal factors contributing to channel breakdown and the development of broad floodouts. Small distributary channels and avulsions are evident in the lowland reaches where channel discontinuity occurs, with a dominance of knickpoints in distal floodout reaches as they attempt to re-establish channel continuity. Using historical aerial imagery we show that knickpoint headcut retreat rates have ranged from ∼1.7 to 53 m a<sup>−1</sup>. Channel breakdown patterns and processes in the Polacca and Oraibi Washes are similar to other dryland rivers around the world, and reveal common underlying factors that are central to river termination and reformation. This study reveals a combination of intrinsic erosion and sedimentation processes and avulsion threshold responses that trigger channel adjustment resulting from downstream fluvial decline. However, key extrinsic controls, such as valley confinement and hydroclimate, influence and limit the rate and nature of these adjustments.

To address this gap, a series of mobile-bed flume experiments were conducted within a typical sandbar-lagoon cross-section to investigate the impact of sparse <em>Phragmites</em> spp. planted on the sandbar on wave propagation and the evolution of the cross-shore profile under varying water depths and irregular wave conditions. These findings revealed that vegetation attenuates infragravity and sea-swell waves. Notably, infragravity waves are associated with the formation of a right- or obtuse-angled foredune scarp, whereas sea-swell waves tend to create an acute-angled scarp. Vegetation-induced changes in the local amplitudes of short waves within wave groups and the local mean water level are instrumental in reshaping foredune scarps. Additionally, the cross-shore width of the vegetation had a more pronounced influence on sediment transport within the lagoon than that of the solid volume fraction. Sparse vegetation not only reduces sediment deposition in the lagoon but also enhances offshore sediment transport.

However, a high share of rockwall surface areas in Norway and in many other cold-climate environments is actually free of permafrost. It is therefore of interest how these permafrost-free rockwall systems will respond to future changes in air and rock temperatures. In this study, we report field measurements conducted at rockwalls beneath the current permafrost limit and investigate thermal regimes at rockwalls that include both rockwall areas with and without permafrost. We present a unique dataset of up to ten years of rockwall temperature measurements from ten temperatures sensors installed in two mountain valleys in western Norway. An analysis of the different rockwall thermal regimes with respect to rock weathering and associated rockfall supply for both, permafrost-affected and permafrost-free rockwalls is provided. The highest intensity of recent rockwall weathering including determined rockwall retreat rates and associated rockfall supply is detected for northeast-facing rockwalls followed by south-facing rockwalls in our study area. Frost cracking activity, probably in the form of segregation ice growth, seems to be an important factor particularly for the high weathering intensity on northeast-facing rockwalls whereas solar radiation-induced thermal stresses, which favour incremental subcritical crack growth, is assumed to play a relevant role in the moderate weathering intensity on south- and southwest-facing rockwalls. A mean annual and study area-wide rockwall retreat rate of 0.24 mm yr<sup>−1</sup> is estimated for our ten-year investigation period (2010−2020) which is comparable to other published rates in similar lithologies and climates. As it can be assumed that seasonal frost regimes and permafrost will react differently to ongoing and future climate changes, more attention should be paid to analyse these two different thermal regimes with respect to possible varied implications for mechanical rockwall weathering and associated rockfall supply.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"468 ","pages":"Article 109496"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142661882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
