Seepage Rates in Closed Basins
… component of the water budget in closed basins that do not have surface water drainage features. In the shallow water table environment of Florida, internal drainage of soil controls flooding. With the recent rapid population growth and urban development in the state, a simple, …

Fluvial sedimentation in continental half-graben basins
… architecture of intracontinental rift basins is defined by a dynamic relationship between depositional belts associated with the basin floor and flanking tributary streams on the piedmont. Spatiotemporal distributions of these deposits are sensitive to basin geometry, subsidence rate, …

Wind-Induced Exchange in Semi-Enclosed Basins
<p>The wind-induced circulation over laterally varying bathymetry was investigated in homogeneous and in stratified systems using the three-dimensional Regional Ocean Model (ROMS). For homogeneous systems, the focus was to describe the influence of the earth's rotation on the lateral distribution …

Demographics of Eastern South Dakota Wetlands and Wetland Basins and Techniques for Estimating the Area and Number of Wetland Basins
… and palustrine wetlands occupied 947,652 wetland basins of which 520,379 were temporary basins covering 157,853 ha, 334,699 were seasonal basins covering 224,004 ha, 76,260 were semipermanent basins covering 292,555 ha, and 1,491 were permanent potholes and lake covering 187,050 ha. Temporary and …

Demographics of Western South Dakota Wetlands and Basins
… than in eastern South Dakota. A total of 172,867 basins exist in western South Dakota. Of these basins, 61,757 (35.7%) are classified as temporary, 50,447 (29.2%) as seasonal, 59,340 (34.3%) as semipermanent, and 1,323 (0.8%) as permanent basins. There are 86,927 created basins, which is 50.3% of …

Modelling Palaeohydrological Controls in Postglacial Mountain Drainage Basins
… immediately after glaciation. Low order drainage basins are analyzed to define a prototypical basin to facilitate groundwater modelling. The surface and groundwater modelling software HydroGeoSphere is used to model the prototypical drainage basin hydrology. Results show that glaciated mountain …

The thermocline and current structure in subtropical/subpolar basins
… and current structures in subtropical/subpolar basins. The ideal fluid thermocline equation system Is a nonlinear, non-strict hyperbolic system. In an Addendum to Chapter III the mathematical properties of this equation system are studied and a proper way of formulating boundary value problems …

Fault rock evolution and fluid flow in sedimentary basins
Structural studies have been undertaken in two extensional fault regimes associated with post-Caledonian basin-forming events in northern Scotland. A combination of detailed mapping and microstructural analysis has revealed the deformation processes and mechanisms involved in fault rock evolution …

Expressions of Mantle Dynamics in Landscapes and Sedimentary Basins
… from fluvial landscapes and from sedimentary basins. I first investigate the growth of the Anatolian Plateaux. Elevated Miocene marine sedimentary deposits distributed across Anatolia indicate that significant uplift has occurred during Neogene and Quaternary times. However, the precise timing …

Geochemistry and Basin Analysis of Laramide Rocky Mountain Basins
… of freshwater bivalve fossils from six Laramide basins in order to reconstruct the spatial evolution of the paleotopography and Precambrian basement erosion in late Cretaceous-early Eocene. In addition it uses the sedimentology, detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology, and isotope paleoaltimetry of …

Study of seismic reflection data over Virginia Mesozoic basins
… Culpeper, Richmond, and Scottsville Basins, and another profile over a probable early Mesozoic basin (Toano) beneath the Atlantic Coastal Plain sediments, in Virginia indicate that resolution of the geometry of the basins is inhibited by small impedance contrasts between the rock …

Cenozoic Tectonic Evolution of the Eastern Cordillera and Adjacent Basins
<p>Analyses of Global Positioning System (GPS) results, estimates of slip, seismic reflection data, and a variety of stress indicators (including borehole breakouts, natural fractures, and earthquake focal mechanism solutions) suggest that the Eastern Cordillera region in Colombia is an active zone …

Stand Strucuture of Planted Stands in Storm-Water Retention Basins
… The structure of forest stands on these basins managed for runoff mitigation has received little attention. We investigated the structure and species composition/diversity (tree and herbaceous) of planted, managed stands and naturally regenerated stands on stormwater retention basins …
