    Palaeofluvial geomorphology in southern Africa: a review (1998)
    Sage Publications
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-09-01
    Description: This article presents an overview of palaeofluvial geomorphology research in southern Africa. For the purposes of this article this includes South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana. Although interest in fluvial systems has a long history in southern Africa, the scientific study of rivers was initiated by the discovery of the first alluvial diamond along the banks of the Orange River in 1867. Since then, significant progress has been made in unravelling the fluvial history of southern Africa from the early Archaean Ventersdorp Contact Reef River to modern channel process studies. The development of an understanding of palaeofluvial systems has occurred along two main lines. The first was alluvial diamond exploration work undertaken by the large mining houses. The second line was of a more ‘academic’ interest and included determining the impact of superimposition, tectonics, base level and climate changes. The review suggests that southern Africa fluvial systems have shown large-scale changes in drainage pattern, discharge and sediment yield and that these can be related to a complex set of causative factors including the geological template, the Jurassic rifting of Gondwana, tectonic episodes and climate change.

    Patterns and processes of sediment sorting in gravel-bed rivers (1998)
    Sage Publications
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-03-01
    Description: Sedimentological studies of coarse-grained alluvial rivers reveal patterns of bed material sorting at a variety of spatial scales ranging from downstream fining over the length of the long profile to the vertical segregation of a coarse surface layer at the scale of individual particles. This article reviews the mechanisms that sort bed material by size during sediment entrainment, transport and deposition and discusses some of the inter-relationships that exist between patterns and processes of sediment sorting at different spatial and temporal scales. At initiation of motion, sorting can arise from the preferential entrainment of the finer fractions from the heterogeneous bed sediments. Bedload grain-size distributions are modified during transport as different size fractions are routed along different transport pathways under the influence of nonuniform bed topography and associated flow patterns, and during deposition as the variable pocket geometry of the rough bed surface and turbulence intensity of the flow control the size of the particles that deposit. The review highlights the poor understanding of the many feedback linkages that exist between patterns and processes of sediment sorting at different scales and the need for a greater awareness of the spatial and temporal bounds of these linkages.

    Infiltration into soils, with particular reference to its visualization and measurement by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (1998)
    Sage Publications
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-06-01
    Description: This article draws attention to the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for studies of patterns and mechanisms of water infiltration into soils, and stresses the vitally important need for collaboration between hydrologists, soil physicists and MRI experts. A brief introduction of the principles of MRI is given. This is followed by a review of the literature relating to nonpreferential infiltration, preferential infiltration exhibiting fingering and preferential infiltration involving a wide range of macropore flow. These differing degrees of complexity of infiltration dynamics require the employment of noninvasive and nondestructive techniques for their detailed investigation. Finally, an overview of applications of MRI to the detection of the spatial and temporal distribution of soil moisture and its changes is given. General conclusions are drawn from previous and current research, and the potential of the application of MRI to infiltration studies is summarized.

    The hydrogeomorphological e•ects of beaver dam-building activity (1998)
    Sage Publications
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-06-01
    Description: A characteristic of beaver ecology is their ability to build dams and, thus, to modify the landscape to increase its suitability for their occupation. This ability gives beaver great significance as a geomorphic agent. In order to review the hydrogeomorphological effects of beaver dam-building activity, this article places a context on the likely distribution and magnitude of beaver activity by considering the spatial and temporal variability of distributions of beaver and the habitat characteristics which might favour the establishment of substantial beaver populations. A description is then given of the nature and potential dimensions of instream structures built by beaver and the environmental conditions under which dam building has been observed to occur. The hydrogeomorphological impact of dam building is then appraised both locally and at the landscape scale, illustrating the very significant process modification caused by beaver. While the European beaver, Castor fiber, is the main focus of this review, it necessarily draws extensively on the much larger literature concerning the North American beaver (Castor canadensis).

    Periglacial research in Africa: past, present and future (1998)
    Sage Publications
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-09-01
    Description: With global periglacial geomorphology undergoing significant advancements, it is appropriate to review the past and current status of such research in Africa. A brief historical overview of research outputs and approaches is presented for the respective African regions. Potential future quantitative periglacial research needs and approaches identified for Africa include: the examination of active periglacial processes, the identification of landforms and ground-ice forms, the potential for environmental change and the palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, and the application of periglacial studies.It is demonstrated that while periglacial geomorphology has progressed significantly in southern Africa, there has been little or no advancement elsewhere on the continent over the last two decades. None the less, on a more positive note, it is concluded that Africa has considerable potential in future global periglacial research.

    Suppression of volcanism during rapid extension in the basin and range province, united states (1998)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-01-09
    Description: Continental extension and volcanism are generally thought to be complementary. Stratigraphic and structural data from some highly extended parts of the Basin and Range province reveal instead that rapid extension appears to have suppressed volcanism. This relation may reflect enhanced crystallization of midcrustal magmas during extension resulting from exsolution of magmatic volatiles, increased interaction of magmas with meteoric water, and dispersal of magma into smaller bodies. Some rift environments may thus be characterized by voluminous synextensional plutonism with little or no concomitant volcanism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gans -- Bohrson -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Jan 2;279(5347):66-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Geological Sciences and Institute for Crustal Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9417024" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Bimetallic system for nitrogen fixation: ruthenium-assisted protonation of coordinated N2 on tungsten with H2 (1998)

    Publication Date: 1998-01-28
    Description: Treatment of the tungsten dinitrogen complex cis-[W(N2)2(PMe2Ph)4] (Me = methyl, Ph = phenyl) with an equilibrium mixture of [RuCl(dppp)2]X and trans-[RuCl(eta2-H2)(dppp)2]X [X = BF4, PF6, or OSO2CF3; dppp = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane] under 1 atmosphere of dihydrogen at 55 degrees Celsius for 24 hours gave NH3 in moderate yield. The same reaction in the presence of acetone produced acetone azine in high yield. None of these reactions proceeded in the absence of dihydrogen.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nishibayashi -- Iwai -- Hidai -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Jan 23;279(5350):540-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry and Biotechnology, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9438842" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
