Geomorphology of Uluru, Australia

A famous and well known Australian inselberg,1 Uluru,2 is an interesting geological feature in that its geomorphology is still a matter of controversy among conventional geologists. Traditionally, Uluru’s stratigraphical history began hundreds of millions of years ago, being fashioned into its current contour only as recently as between 60 million years ago until the present. The process by whi...

The geomorphology of Ceres.

Analysis of Dawn spacecraft Framing Camera image data allows evaluation of the topography and geomorphology of features on the surface of Ceres. The dwarf planet is dominated by numerous craters, but other features are also common. Linear structures include both those associated with impact craters and those that do not appear to have any correlation to an impact event. Abundant lobate flows ar...
