Climate forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards.
The 12 research papers and two summaries of conference discussion sessions contained in this Theme Issue build upon presentations and dialogue at the Third Johnston–Lavis Colloquium held at University College London in September 2009. The meeting brought together delegates from the UK, Europe and the USA to address the issue of climate forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards, with a ...
متن کاملProjected future climate changes in the context of geological and geomorphological hazards.
On palaeoclimate time scales, enhanced levels of geological and geomorphological activity have been linked to climatic factors, including examples of processes that are expected to be important in current and future anthropogenic climate change. Planetary warming leading to increased rainfall, ice-mass loss and rising sea levels is potentially relevant to geospheric responses in many geological...
متن کاملUplift, denudation, and their causes and constraints over geological timescales
We define uplift and denudation, then review the basic principles underlying the mechanisms for producing uplift, and the methodologies used to quantify the geological timescale denudation history of uplifted regions. Uplift is represents work done against gravity, and does not necessarily lead immediately to rapid denudation. The causes of uplift can be categorised according to the principal d...
متن کاملSpectral Analysis of Aster, Hyperion, and Quickbird Data for Geomorphological and Geological Research in Egypt (dakhla Oasis, Western Desert)
This paper presents an evaluation, to which degree geological and geomorphological information can be obtained from modern remote sensing systems like the multispectral ASTER or the hyperspectral Hyperion sensor for a hyperarid desert region like the Dakhla Oasis (Western Desert, Egypt). To account for the enhanced information content these sensors provide, hyperspectral analysis methods, incor...
متن کاملHumans as major geological and geomorphological agents in the Anthropocene: the significance of artificial ground in Great Britain.
Since the first prehistoric people started to dig for stone to make implements, rather than pick up loose material, humans have modified the landscape through excavation of rock and soil, generation of waste and creation of artificial ground. In Great Britain over the past 200 years, people have excavated, moved and built up the equivalent of at least six times the volume of Ben Nevis. It is es...
