Traditional methods of tracking pebbles or cobbles to assess abrasion have numerous shortcomings, however, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) now makes it feasible to track and relocate tagged particles on a beach. In this study, RFID was used to quantify pebble and cobble abrasion on a mixed sand and gravel beach, South Island, New Zealand. A total of 228 greywacke pebbles and cobbles were tagged and released on two occasions on the study beach. Some of these pebbles and cobbles were relocated on the first two days after release and then again at intervals of months with a maximum recovery period of 15 months. Particles were weighed each time they were relocated to assess abrasion and their positions recorded to calculate the distance travelled from the initial release point. The mean daily abrasion rate of pebbles and cobbles was 0.02 %/day in weight, equivalent to 7.30 %/year in weight. A significant correlation was found between abrasion and transport distance and wave energy. These results contribute to the small database of abrasion rates for mixed sediment beaches. The study also provides detailed data on cross-shore and alongshore displacement, as well as burial depth. Comparison with previous studies from around the world suggests that a universally applicable abrasion rate for all mixed beaches is unattainable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"487 ","pages":"Article 109919"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144654323","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}

Here, we document such complex interactions for a 70 km-long stretch of the Yamuna River and its tributaries in the western Indian Himalaya, where we quantify the downstream pattern of grain size. We particularly illustrate the grain size pattern changes in response to the hillslope-derived material supply to the stream path, and evaluate how such patterns evolve as the stream crosses a tectonically active mountain belt and finally enters a foreland basin. We also look into whether anthropogenic constructions like dams and barrages disrupt the source-to-sink sediment cascade in this stream. Grain size was measured on digital images taken at 18 locations on the gravel bars &gt; 1000 m<sup>2</sup> with an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV), and the data was supplemented with previously published datasets. The results show that the material is at its coarsest and characterized by a large intra-bar variability of grain size (poorer sorting) where the river crosses the deeply dissected mountainous terrain. This suggests a supply control on the grain size distribution where material supply by hillslope processes in a steep terrain imprints the size and the sorting of the material in the channel. Such a supply control is also inferred along the Yamuna River reach across the smooth landscapes of the Dehradun valley, which hosts the terrace sequences deposited by the Yamuna River and its tributaries during the Pleistocene, and which is currently dissected. Erosional recycling of these terrace sediments may explain why, across the Dehradun valley, the grains in the Yamuna River are nearly uniform in size. As the Yamuna River enters the Ganga foreland basin that experiences active subsidence, the material becomes finer-grained and better sorted (low intra-bar variability of grain size). The stream finally transitions from a pebbly to a sandy stream c. 40 km downstream of the orogenic front. We interpret this downstream fining trend in the Ganga foreland basin as a result of the selective deposition of the coarser-grained fraction of the bedload material, driven by the formation of accommodation space in the subsiding foreland basin. We finally found that the impact of engineering structures, including barrages and dams, on grain size is limited. Overall, this investigation demonstrates that the particle size distributions in this coarse-grained stream represent a complex system of supply and sedimentation controls, with no discernible impact from anthropogenic structures on grain size.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"486 ","pages":"Article 109909"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144571656","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}

This concave depression is here interpreted as the scar of an island-scale, east-directed, sector collapse. Given the position of Santiago relative to the nearby Maio Island, which could work as a buttress in the east, we conclude that the debris generated by the inferred eastward collapse might have been diverted to the northeast.

First, we qualitatively discriminate the volcano type into stratovolcano, compound, and caldera. Next, we performed quantitative morphometrical analyses and compiled geochemistry data from previous works. Stratovolcano marks the youngest stage of a volcano, can be either small or large, but exhibits a typically steep and sharp morphology, with basaltic and andesitic magmas as the primary magma compositions. As time goes by and the magma differentiates into more viscous compositions (up to dacite and rhyolite), a stratovolcano may develop into a compound type, forming multiple cones and a larger edifice size. Finally, a caldera marks the most developed volcano type due to the typically large and nearly flat morphology as a result of the highly catastrophic eruptive event. Both compound and caldera volcanoes show a significantly overlapping silica content, suggesting that silica is not the main factor that controls the formation of a caldera on Java Island. Interestingly, all caldera volcanoes on Java Island always exhibit high-K magma affinity, while compound volcanoes are dominated by medium- and low-K affinity. This means that potassium occurs as the most important factor that controls the fate of a volcano during the growth process, either just becoming a compound or evolving into a caldera. This idea is further supported by the recent findings from other works, where the solubility of volatiles (e.g., CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O) in magmas increases with increasing potassium content. The fact that most calderas in the Sunda Arc (e.g., Toba, Maninjau, Ranau, Rinjani, and Tambora) also exhibit high-K affinity (or even shoshonitic) does not deny this idea. Finally, we also pointed out that irregularity and the ellipticity index are more controlled by the exogenous factors (e.g., the preexisting morphology) instead of magma composition and eruption style.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"486 ","pages":"Article 109898"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144563785","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}

Whilst the response of glaciers to climate warming is well-documented, the response of proglacial landscapes, especially regarding sediment transfer processes, is less understood. Sediment transport, through erosion and deposition, modifies the landscape and affects sediment connectivity. The latter may be described as structural (static, related to the configuration of the system) or functional (dynamic, resulting from time-space variation in sediment flux). This paper quantifies the functional connectivity of sediment flux for a recently deglaciated Alpine hillslope. Analysis of high-resolution digital elevation models is coupled to a morphological method to assesses the spatial pattern of sediment flux required to conserve mass over a seasonal and a multi-year time-scale. Results show that functional connectivity is strongly controlled by micro-scale topography on the hillslope that has developed during and since deglaciation. Functional connectivity is then a key factor determining the delivery of sediment to the valley bottom for eventual transport by the proglacial stream following glacier retreat.
