Quantitative Analysis of Tectonic Geomorphology Research Based on Web of Science from 1981 to 2021

Tectonic geomorphology is an important research area that uses multisource data to quantify the landscape response induced by interaction between tectonic uplift and climate changes. In this study, a comprehensive quantitative analysis using bibliometric scientometrics based on areas, countries, institutions, journals, authors, keywords, citations carried out, which provides exhaustive history of geomorphology, points out hopspots trends in area. A total 2796 papers 110,111 references from 1981 2021 are collected Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) as main source. The results show with development remote sensing, improvement instruments equipment, amount has been increasing. journal Geomorphology one most popular journals field. Through co-occurrence network analysis, 12 clusters identified hotspot how constrain rates active faulting geomorphic indices. literature co-citation 13 directions extracted trend investigate drainage divide migration fault slip rates. With help sensing data, physical attributes, contextual knowledge, reliability measuring under changes increased. future suggestion use multi-source heterogeneous fusion conduct for research.
