The Żonqor coastline, southeast Malta, displays an exceptional range of geomorphic signatures of extreme coastal events. This paper brings together evidence acquired from a field survey, analysis of time-sequential imagery, and hydrodynamic modellin

The temporal and spatial scales of rocky coast geomorphology: a commentary

Autor: Martin A. Coombes, Derek Mottershead, David M. Kennedy

Rocky shores are complex landforms that result from marine erosion and subaerial weathering. They are time-integrated features where their present day form is the result of instantaneous erosion, often on the millimetre to sub-metre scale, occurring

Extreme waves, including tsunami, have left striking imprints on the Maltese coastline. Their geomorphic legacy inshore and onshore is here illustrated via key landscapes along the Comino Channels coasts. Geomorphic signatures, both erosional and dep

The sites of two field experiments based on micro-erosion metering, one in UK the other in New Zealand, were independently revisited respectively 33 and 17 years after installation. At both sites natural weathering and erosion processes had been inad

The changing Maltese soil environment: evidence from the ancient cart tracks at San Pawl Tat-Tarġa, Naxxar

Autor: Derek Mottershead, Alastair Pearson, Paul Farres

Publikováno v: Geological Society, London, Special Publications. 331:219-229

The historic cart ruts of Malta are incised into the underlying bedrock topography. Anomalous relationships between their routeways and the uneven terrain beneath suggest that they originated on a land surface different from that of today. An exposur
