channel. Their study reveals that the longitudinal variations in grain size and slope largely determine the braiding intensity of channel thus it signifluences in channel morphodynamics. Schimitt et al. (2007) analysed morphodynamics typology of upper Rhine river basin based on multivariate statistical analysis. Hooke and Yorke, (2010) asserted that the channel morphological changes are not only associated with the spatio-temporal variations in discharge and channel processes but it largely follows the

footsteps of American and other Allied soldiers on a cruise on the Rhine River. The different peoples moving into and out brought their unique cultures and added to the mixture that became Germany. The first known people to settle in Germany was the Celts, who lived there before the birth of Christ. Words from the Celtic language became part of what would later develop into the German Language. The name of the Danube, Neckar, and Rhine Rivers, were names left over by the Celts. The Celts were great

In his pioneering work, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon writes that “the poetical fame of Ausonius condemns the taste of his age.” Indeed, Ausonius’s work may seem uncomplicated on the surface: he borrows heavily from previous literature and uses straightforward syntax. However, his work contains depth beyond its ostensible simplicity: it blends genres and uses consistent themes as narrative foci to guide the reader. In two of his most prominent poems, liquid

in the north of the Frankish Empire. For instance, located in the northern region of the Frankish Empire, on the banks of the Rhine River, were the churches of Cologne and Mainz, which were important to the Carolingian civilization (Mayr-Harting, 1996). Additionally, Rhine played a significant role in the economy of the Frankish Empire. Between the 780s and 820s, Rhine experienced large amounts of movement due to Rhenish imports—

Floods in Europe In February 1995 large areas of the mainland countries in Europe were deluged with water, and floods threatened the local people and towns. The River Rhine and its many tributaries burst their banks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, Its tributaries include the rivers Meuse, Main Moselle and Ruhr. The floods were devastation to Europe, killing people and animals, and destroying farmland and building developments. If you had lived

The country also shares an eastern border with Germany. The mouths of three major European rivers converge in the Netherlands: the Rhine, Maas (or Meuse), and Schelde. The heritage of the Netherlands is equally interesting. Though the country celebrates unique traditions, such as St. Nicholas’ Day—a holiday based on the life of a generous bishop —the earliest recorded history

For more than 1,000 years the Romans conquered portions of Europe and brought a tremendous amount of influence to Eurasia. They built a network of roadways, amazing architectural achievements and order to the tribes they conquered throughout Eurasia. However the one area not influenced by the Romans was most of Germany, Russia, Yugoslavia and the Czech Republic, this area is also know as Germania. This region did not receive the benefits that the colonies conquered by Rome received simply because

Ludendorff Bridge in Germany: Battle of Remagen during WWII The Ludendorff bridge, the bridge that connects Remagen and the small village of Erpel was constructed during World War I in 1916 and was later finished around 1918-1919. During the end of World War II, specifically during the Allied Invasion of Germany, the bridge was found still standing. In shock, the Allies tried to capture the bridge. The German troops, which was in the other side of the bridge try their best not prevent the U.S Army

The Ghost Army Would you risk your lives for the greater good. That’s what the Ghost army did and saved millions of lives just to help others. Every American should help people in need. The Ghost Army landed in France in the summer of 1944.Most of the men in the ghost army were artists. They were handpicked G.I.’s. There also were lots of radios and sound effects. There were 1,100 men in the ghost army and, as mentioned earlier, many of them were artists. They had inflatable tanks and many more tricks

Red River Rhine On November 1st 1986, a fire at the Sandoz chemical warehouse on the Rhine caused the river to run red, and left its ecosystem devastated. This raised awareness in the international forum of the extent of damage that can happen due to chemical spills and prompted substantial changes to the laws surrounding how these facilities operated. In this report I will be looking at the events the unfurled during the spill, the affect that it has had, biologically on the Rhine, and whether
