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. Early recognition of these geomorphic changes can inform river, land, and water management strategies across the American southwest.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"468 ","pages":"Article 109501"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142662701","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}

Data collection consisted of both field work and analysis of a high-resolution 3D point cloud of the mesa. The southern and western edges of the mesa, closest to the Chinle Wash, and close to where knickpoints may have been, are the areas of highest pothole density. The pothole-forming processes disrupted drainage systems, and pothole sizes do not correlate with the catchment areas of the potholes. There are abundant, fluvially deposited erratic pebbles and cobbles on the mesa, and the joints and cracks that are present in the bedrock exert little to no control over pothole morphology. These data suggest that the potholes were formed subaqueously. A proposal that may point us to a possible mechanism is that similar potholes, in the Navajo Sandstone exposed in the Henry Mountains, appear to have been formed via fluvial processes in over-steepened tributary junctions. At our research location, the water that carved out the potholes appears to have come from ENE, and the point at which this water met the Chinle Wash may have been over-steepened as a result of rapid incision of the Chinle Wash through the poorly lithified Navajo Sandstone.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"468 ","pages":"Article 109498"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142661886","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}

Coastal vegetation serves as a natural sea defense mechanism and is pivotal in maintaining a robust ecological balance. However, our understanding of how vegetation influences the evolution of typical sandbar-lagoon coasts is limited. 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. These insights significantly advance our understanding of wave-vegetation-sediment dynamics and provide essential scientific support for the implementation of coastal ecological restoration initiatives, particularly in the context of sandbar-lagoon coasts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"468 ","pages":"Article 109500"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142661854","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}

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}

As such, fifteen transects were chosen across buffer and transition zones of Indian Sundarban, each equipped with 4–6 sedimentation pins, to gauge accretion rates in premonsoon, monsoon, and postmonsoon season during period March 2020 to March 2022, considering diverse hydro-geomorphic attributes. The vertical accretion rate exhibits a curvilinear pattern, ascending from the lower seafront zone towards the middle of the estuarine region, reaching a peak, and subsequently declining towards the upper estuarine zones. Specifically, in the seafront zone, the yearly mean accretion (focusing solely on accretion and excluding subsidence) ranges between 5 and 10 mm/year, while in the middle estuarine region, it increases to an average of 38.1 ± 9.44 mm/year. However, in the upper zone, the yearly mean accretion decreases slightly to approximately 17.71 ± 9.54 mm/year. Similar patterns are observed when considering the distance from the riverfront to the interior of the mangrove zones. Seasonal analysis demonstrates that the postmonsoon period exhibits the highest accretion, followed by the premonsoon season, while the monsoon tends to be erosional in nature. Mangrove zonation, and subsequent distribution of root height, root diameter, root density, tree density, tree basal area, inundation frequency, current speed, variation in suspended sediment concentration were identified as influential factors affecting vertical accretion rates. Based on multiple regression analysis, root density, inundation frequency, and tree density demonstrated moderate-positive correlations with vertical accretion, whereas distance from the riverfront, root height, and root diameter displayed negative correlations.
