We would like to announce a recent article by Prof. Dr hab. Waldemar Kociuba (Department of Geology, Soil Science and Geoinformation UMCS) published in Water:
Kociuba W., 2023. Geomorphic Changes of the Scott River Alluvial Fan in Relation to a Four-Day Flood Event. Water 15, 1368. https://doi.org/10.3390/w15071368
This paper presents the results of an assessment of short-term geomorphic changes resulting from an extreme four-day flood event caused by increased precipitation and air temperatures in the alluvial fan of the proglacial gravel bed of the Scott River ( NW Wedel-Jarlsberg Land, SW Svalbard). The topic relates to the increasingly observed geomorphological effects of extreme meteorological and hydrological events in polar regions as a result of progressive climate change. The analysis carried out is based on the results of multi-location terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) measurements. The high-resolution numerical terrain models (NMT) developed from these were used to detect geomorphic changes within the Scott River alluvial cone as a result of the four-day flood event in August 2013.
