Tectono-Geomorphic Analysis in Low Relief, Low Tectonic Activity Areas: Case Study of the Temiskaming Region in the Western Quebec Seismic Zone (WQSZ), Eastern Canada

We designed a workflow to investigate areas of potential neotectonic deformation, making use well-developed techniques, but applied site characterized by low relief and or moderate tectonic activity. In this pilot study, we targeted the Temiskaming Graben, in Eastern Canada, where recent ongoing geophysical sedimentological investigations have revealed activity along ancient structure. The dataset compiled for experimental study covers an area nearly 147 square km across provinces Ontario Quebec. For efficiency terms computational resources, first performed cluster analysis on knickpoint location, identifying seven with high density disruptions river profiles. then more detailed morphometric at 30 m resolution, knickpoints profiles, calculating hypsometric integral landscape moving window, mapping comparing lineaments known structural features. results our showed that these three techniques can be efficiently combined analysis, synergistic approach strengthens reliability accuracy results. Our research extends application commonly used exploring intense tectonism topography, are new identified proposed require ground-truthing through shallow investigations.
