Pleistocene Terraces of The Atlantic Coastal Plain
<p>Pleistocene terraces on the Atlantic Coastal Plain have been recognized since the late 1800's, and from four to seven terraces have been described throughout Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida. These terraces are now named Brandywine, Coharie, Sunderland, Wicomico, …

Modelling of crowd-induced vibrations in stadium terraces
Human-induced vibrations are increasingly becoming an issue of great concern in the design of civil engineering structures. In this research work, three major trends that contribute to the prevalence of human-induced vibrations in public structures were identified. While the focus has been mainly …

Cosmogenic dating of fluvial terraces in the Sorbas Basin, SE Spain
… manifests itself as inset sequences of river terraces which form terrace staircases. The timing of the onset of incision and the rate incision then proceeds at is poorly constrained due to the difficulties in dating river terraces. This study applies the technique of cosmogenic exposure dating …

Testing Terraces: Managing and Sustaining the Agrarian Environment in the Maltese Archipelago
… remains remarkably under-examined. Crucially, terraces can be considered as one of the earliest forms of landscape alteration for human gain – specifically where humans adapt the landscape to suit their needs, as opposed to by-product change. As such, terraced environments can be classed as an …

Assessment of Technical Efficacy and Economic Impact of Bench Terraces used in Soil Erosion Control in Eastern Rwanda
… conformity and cost effectiveness of bench terraces in Rwanda. The Eastern Province of Rwanda was selected for this study as it is the largest, and has a combination of the most populous and the least densely populated areas and compares well with other five provinces. This province …

Elevation, Longitudinal Profile, And Schmidt Hammer Analysis Of Strath Terraces Through Capitol Reef National Park, Utah: Bedrock Channel Response To Climate Forcing?
… and Schmidt hammer data indicate that strath terraces (specifically the lower elevation terraces) mapped in the Fremont River drainage of Capitol Reef National Park are correlative to the terraces of the smaller Pleasant Creek drainage located approximately ten miles to the south. This …

Vintner's House; A Residence and Vineyard in Davenport, CA
… nurturer of the vines. The vineyard is set on terraces down a hill to give grapes the sunlight and drainage they desire. These south facing terraces allow the vines to receive full sunlight throughout the growing season. Drainage through the vineyard encourages the roots to grow deep into the …

Urban Agriculture within the Valley of Oaxaca: Investigations and Implications of Agricultural Terracing at Monte Alban, Oaxaca
… for the analysis of Late Classic (500-800 C.E.) terraces at Monte Albán, reveals a spatial pattern not visible through prior pedestrian site surveys. The Valley of Oaxaca Settlement Pattern Project concluded that nearly all of the 1,464 Late Classic terraces at Monte Albán were used for …

Quaternary geology of the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site
… of this area.</p> <p>There are eight river terraces within a 300 square kilometre area surrounding the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, near Stanton, North Dakota. , The terraces are former river floodplains that have been preserved above the present floodplain. The …

New incision rates on the Colorado River system based on cosmogenic burial dating of terraces : implications for a transient knickpoint at Lees Ferry and differential uplift of the Rocky Mountains
… techniques to previously undated bedrock strath terraces, we determine spatial and temporal patterns of incision and profile evolution over the last 10 Ma. In several cases, incision rates are faster below knickpoints than above, suggesting that knickpoints are dynamically evolving and likely …

The steps of kings: terraced landscapes in the Lake Pátzcuaro Basin, Michoacán, México
… of settlements, confirmed the presence of terraces, and the general landscape development of the former island. This thesis documents and analyzes, for the first time, agricultural terraces in the former island of Apúpato. The most common form of agricultural intensification is terrace …

Transport mechanisms and wetting dynamics in molecularly thin films of long-chain alkanes at solid/vapour interface : relation to the solid-liquid phase transition
… drops start to build two-dimensional solid terraces without bulk solidification. The terraces grow radially from the liquid drops on the substrate surface. They consist of few molecular layers with the thickness multiple of all-trans length of the molecule. By analyzing the terrace growth …

Timing and pattern of valley excavation, Le Sueur River, south-central Minnesota, USA
Strath terraces of the Le Sueur River, south central Minnesota, preserve the record of river incision. A combination of airborne LiDAR (light detection and ranging) and terrace dating through optically-stimulated luminescence (OSL) and radiocarbon methods were used to construct a conceptual model …

Geologic Map and Structural Analysis of the Twin Rocks 7.5 Minute Quadrangle, Wayne County, Utah
… the evolution and development of fluvial terraces associated with Sulfur Creek and the structural geology of the backlimb of the Miners Mountain uplift. Nine bedrock stratigraphic formations and eight types of Quaternary deposits were mapped throughout the quadrangle. Bedrock stratigraphy …

Terracing, Land Management and Agricultural Soils in the Andagua Valley of the Southern Peruvian Andes
… reconstruction and abandonment of agricultural terraces and the implications these conditions have on agricultural soil properties of the Andagua Valley in the Western Cordillera of the Southern Peruvian Andes. During the 2016 summer field season, topsoil samples were collected from cultivated …

The marine geology of False Bay
… in inaccurate age designations. Global dating of terraces, exposed and submerged1 is discussed and applied to the features in the Bay, in an attempt to record their history. The oldest feature, the Gordons Bay boulder beach at approximately 100 ft. above mean sea-level, is dated by the writer as …
