This paper is a contribution to the understanding of surface dynamics of tropical shields over
geological timescales. Emphasis is put on the fundamental and applied implications of …

The tropical cratonic geosystem encompasses non-orogenic continental domains of the
tropical belt that developed and preserved Cenozoic lateritic regolith mantles (ie, the …

The aim of this study is to propose a method to assess the long-term chemical weathering
mass balance for a regolith developed on a heterogeneous silicate substratum at the small …

Detection of bedrock depth is one of the critical site investigation procedures for seismic
hazard analysis and underground developments that may encounter varying rock formation …

Chemical weathering and mechanical erosion are first‐order processes of long‐term tropical
morphogenesis, which is still poorly deciphered for lack of time constraints. We address this …

Abstract Study region Little Kinyasungwe River Catchment, central semi-arid Tanzania.
Study focus The structure and hydraulic properties of superficial geology can play a crucial …

We present here a new model for the formation of regolith on geological timescales by
chemical weathering based on the assumption that the rate of chemical weathering is …

The electrical properties of several tens of metres of lateritic weathering mantle were
investigated by using electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) in two basement areas of …

In southeastern Central African Republic the lateritic weathering mantles are capped by 2 to
5 m thick ferricretes, which previously formed under a seasonal tropical climate. The actual …

The inland wetlands can perform the storage of water on the surface and the recharge of
aquifers. Even a small wetland can work as a local point of water infiltration, influencing and …
