Geomorphological Investigations for the Channel Tunnel Terminal and Portal
Extensive geomorphological investigations of the Channel Tunnel UK portal and terminal site were commissioned by TML during 1986/87, prior to the commencement of the detailed ground investigations. These studies were primarily concerned with identifying and delimiting the spatial extent of landforms, superficial materials and in particular the evidence for contemporary or relict slope instability. The investigations took the form of large-scale (…
Slope Instability in a Warmer Britain
Climate change will almost certainly have an impact on slope stability in Britain but estimating the location, scale and significance of resultant slope movements is difficult because of: uncertainties as to how global warming will be translated into weather patterns; the important and variable role of human activity in generating instability; the wide variety of factors that combine to influence slope stability over time and space; and the extre…
Global Warming and Geomorphology
literature, the potential geomorphological consequences have yet to be properly considered, especially in the context of the British Isles. This paper introduces the subject of global warming influences on landform evolution and in the process emphasizes that environmental change is typical of the Quaternary and that the consequences of change need not necessarily be detrimental. The difficulties of predicting change are discussed and the role of…
The Character and Possible Origins of the Aeolian Sediments of the Wahiba Sand Sea, Oman
The Wahiba sand sea covers some 12 500 square kilometres and contains a great variety of dune forms. There is evidence of at least three major periods of dune-building. The earliest deposits form the largest field of aeolianite yet reported, and these are covered by two types of unlithified sands: ancient megaridges with reddish sand; and presently very active, pale sands. Observations of sand colour on the ground and on satellite imagery lead to…
The 1
Urban Geomorphology in Drylands
There are at least 350 cities with a population of over 100,000 and 30 cities with a population in excess of 1 million in arid zones. These rapidly growing urban areas are consuming much land that has distinctive features, hazards and resources. This book is an integrated and comprehensive appraisal of the geomorphology of such land. Engineers; planners; geologists; geographers; and to all concerned with development projects in drylands
