'on surficial' is not a correct or usable phrase in written English
You could use 'superficial' (adjective) or 'superficially' (adverb) instead. Example: His explanation of the problem was superficially convincing, but it lacked depth.
Slope has direct control on surficial hydrologic phenomena such as runoff and infiltration.
The Arthur Road sites are situated on surficial units that are Pliocene in age.
As noted, the TLS approach only provides information on surficial morphology and not internal structures, and mechanical details of the mud volcano remain to be examined.
Measurements over time using temperature loggers showed that despite strong tidal and diel forcing on surficial sediment temperatures, thermal anomalies due to groundwater discharge persisted over several-day sampling periods and were strongest at −20 and −30 cm depth.
Other published reports on surficial aquitards in the Gulf Coast Region pertain to Pleistocene deposits that lack laterally extensive lacustrine units and where Kv is enhanced by secondary permeability features, resulting in clayey aquitards with poor integrity.
Seven classes were bedrock based and two were based on surficial deposits (Table 1).
Based on infiltration tests on different types of surficial deposits, most of the rainwater will infiltrate, while overland flow predominates on rock salt exposures.
Temperature differences between these sites are thus a key constraint on the patterns of surficial geochemistry as expressed by seafloor coloration.
The number of traceable SPR peaks is multiplied by the SPs interference and tracking those multiplied SPR peaks enable a better resolution on the absolute value of surficial SPR shift.
The second reason is that once sea level stabilized in the Pacific, beginning around 6000 years ago (Grossman et al. 1998), broad reef platforms around the fringes of many islands began developing and came to provide substrates on which islands made of surficial materials might then form.
Statistically significant differences are present between microbial communities and degree of biofilm infilling of surficial pores based on whole versus halved bones regardless of taxa, supporting the hypothesis that preservation is strongly influenced by early biostratinomic processes.
