	NOAA History - Stories and Tales of the Coast & Geodetic Survey - Ocean Tales/The Origin of the Submarine Valleys - Georges Bank
		Also the topography of the inner portion of Georges Bank is suggestive of a moraine with its hummocky character.
		It happens that Georges Bank is in line of continuation with the terminal moraine of the ice sheet which extends north and east through part of Cape Cod and the Island of Nantucket.
		Shortly after the occurrence of the Grand Banks earthquake of November 18, 1929, Captain Bone of the Steamship Transylvania reported that he had found deep water in a position which, according to the chart, should have been well within the margin of Georges Bank.

	Karst topography (from cave) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		One of several small, disconnected karst areas, it is situated north of Brno, along the eastern bank of the Svitava River, and eastward along the latter's underground tributaries,...
		As previously noted, karst landscapes owe their existence to the removal of bedrock in solution and to the development of underground drainage without the development of surface stream valleys.
		The term originally applied to the Karst, a limestone area on the Dalmatian coast on the Adriatic Sea, but has been extended to mean all areas...

	Wiscasset Bay Gallery: Artist's Biographys
		His friend and teacher, Schmalz, says McCobb’s works are “a celebration of living.” The harbors of Bremen, Friendship and South Bristol, the rugged topography of the coast, the rural farmhouses and colorful fields all make their way into his works by way of bold brushstrokes and bright color.
		His work can be found in the collections of General Electric, One Bank of Syracuse, N.Y., M.B.N.A. America, and The United States Marine Corps Combat Art Collection in Washington, D.C., among others.
		Lois Goldstone was born in Paris, France; grew up in New York City; and lived in Seattle, Washington; Westchester County, New York; and Bangor, Maine before settling on a saltwater farm in Boothbay, Maine.

	Narrative journal of travels from Detroit northwest through the great chain of American lakes to the sources of the Mississippi River in the year 1820: a machine-readable transcription.
		The banks of the river present a compact settlement along the American shore, in which the succession of farm houses, orchards, and cultivated fields, is in no place interrupted by forests, or even by detached copses of woods.
		They occupied the very extensive district of alluvial lands from Scaghticoke on the Hoosick river, to the banks of the Oriskany, in Oneida, and had such weight in the confederacy that it was sometimes even denominated by their name.
		The account which Hennepin published of his travels and discoveries, served to throw some new light upon the topography, and the Indian tribes of the Canadas; and modern geography is indebted to him, for the names which he bestowed upon the falls of St. Anthony, and the river St. Francis.

	The Severn Bore, Chasing The Bore
		As the bore travels along its 28km course it varies in size, shape and form regularly, as the topography of the river varies.
		It is possible to watch the bore at more than five different locations on a single tide, from both the west and east bank.
		The bore always looks impressive as it appears in view hugging the east bank below the Parting, but generally it is fairly small in the channel up towards the bridge.

	Modelling Bed Topography
		Since there is a strong interaction between the bed topography, flow velocity, sediment transport and grain sorting in river bends, it can be hypothesised that predicted values of these parameters will also systematically diverge from reality in rivers with erodible banks.
		In meandering rivers, channel curvature produces secondary currents and a transverse sloping channel bed, with increasing depth towards the outer bank, so that the outer bank is often undermined and eroded.
		These models differ in a number of ways, but few of them account for the effects of grain-size sorting on sediment transport and bed topography, even though this aspect is of key interest to sedimentologists who are interested in interpreting ancient river deposits.

	Bilbao, Spain
		Long ago, Bilbao was just a village with a tiny port on the right bank of the estuary where there lived fishermen, farmers, and a noble family or two.
		The city of Bilbao is divided into eight districts, but we get a better picture of the true topography if we keep in mind that the city is divided by la ría del Nervión (the Nervión estuary) into two halves.
		By the middle of the fifteenth century Bilbao was flourishing and changing its topography; it was in 1483 when the city increased radically in size and El Arenal emerged.

		But on the right bank the area included within the walls was simply a wedge running to the top of the Janiculan hill to prevent any enemy from seizing that vantage point from which to bombard the city and to protect the heads of the most important Tiber bridges.
		On the left bank of the Tiber, these walls also closely follow the octroi (customs) boundary of the time of Commodus, which was marked by cippi and so provides a convenient definition of the city limits at the height of the empire.
		Walls are drawn with double lines, rather than the single line of the Marble Plan, and a range of refinements including identifications introduced.

	The Israeli security Fence Updated Status and Evolution
		IDF security experts argue that the topography does not permit putting the barrier along the green line in many places, because there would be hills or tall buildings on the Palestinian side.
		It was used by Gush Shalom and is being used by Electronic Intifada to support the claim that Israel intends to enclose the Palestinians in ghettos or Bantustans in the West Bank, surrounded by a wall.
		Nonetheless, the Israel High Court has ruled many sections of the barrier to be illegal because the route does not provide the proper balance between security needs and hardship to the population.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Campos Rupestres montane savanna (NT0703)
		Campos rupestres are a mosaic of communities, under the control of local topography, microclimate and the nature of the substrate(Davis 1997; Giulietti and Pirani 1998).
		The Campos Rupestres montane savannas are part of the Espinhaço Range (Cadeia do Espinhaço), an ancient plateau formed by pre-cambrian crystalline rocks that extend from the North Bahia (near the right bank of the São Francisco River) southward to Serra do Ouro Branco, near the historical city of Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais (Moreira 1965).
		The dominant vegetation is a type of savanna known as campos rupestres or rock fields and lies in the Espinhaço Range (Giullieti and Pirani 1988) between 700 and 2,000 m in elevation (Stattersfield 1998).
