River meanders and vorticity theorem
Luna Bergere Leopold
1953, Eos, Earth and Space Science News (34) 955-959
The serpentine windings of rivers, which in certain reaches attain a remarkable symmetry and are then called meanders, must represent one aspect of the tendency for establishment of quasi-equilibrium in natural streams. With the increase in knowledge of the interaction of forces operating in rivers, this tendency toward equilibrium has...
The use of soils and paleosols for interpreting geomorphic and climatic history of arid regions
John Miller, Luna Bergere Leopold
1953, Research Council of Israel Special Publication 2
The study of modern surface soils, and ancient weathering zones, which occur either buried or as surface relicts, has contributed materially to understanding the complex events of the glacial and post-glacial period both in glaciated areas and in regions not influenced by glaciation. Most work of this kind in the...
