Riparian delta water: These wetlands occur on alluvial plains and areas where alluvium is deposited where a river or stream enters a lake. An active delta is well drained with interconnecting channels, lakes and ponds. The process of sediment deposition is ongoing. Associated wetlands are flooded frequently. In some instances, former lake shorelines have receded or disappeared over geologic time leaving isolated deltas. Flooding of associated wetlands is infrequent, due to river flooding or wind tides (seiches). 1, record 1, English, - riparian%20delta%20water

Eau riparienne de delta : Ces terres humides se trouvent dans les plaines alluviales et les secteurs de dépôts d’alluvion à la croisée de la rivière ou du ruisseau et du lac. Un delta actif est bien drainé par des chenaux, des lacs et des étangs interconnectés. Le processus de dépôts de sédiments y est continu. Les terres humides lui étant associées sont fréquemment inondées. Dans certains cas, d’anciens rivages de lac ont reculé ou disparu avec le temps géologique, laissant derrière eux des deltas isolés. L'inondation des terres humides associées est fréquente en raison du débordement de la rivière ou des montées de niveau dues au vent(seiches). 1, record 1, French, - eau%20riparienne%20de%20delta

Regroupant la France, la Norvège et le Canada, le projet ADFEX(Arctic Delta Failure Experiment) s’intéresse à la réalisation, grandeur nature, d’un glissement sous-marin. Pour y arriver, un delta est déstabilisé à l'aide d’explosifs afin de provoquer une liquéfaction instantanée du front du delta. Le site choisi [...] est le delta de la rivière Kenamu au lac Melville(Labrador). 1, record 2, French, - projet%20ADFEX

Using the same courseware as traditional FlightSafety classrooms, participants simply log-on at a specified time and date to attain synchronous instructor-led training. Class members will not only hear the instructor's audio, they can "raise a hand" electronically to either carry on a private conversation with the instructor or let the whole class listen in on the discussion. A chat window allows the class to enter comments and questions. The instructor can assign individual exercises and view each participant's screen. Exams are administered and a Record of Training issued upon successful completion. 1, record 4, English, - synchronous%20instructor%2Dled%20training
