Abstract Hidden, blind faults have a strong seismic hazard potential. Consequently, there is great demand for robust geological indicator of neotectonic activity on such faults. Here, we conduct field measurements disaggregation bands above known underlying at several locations in Central Europe. We observe that the same orientation as faults, indicating their close connection. Disaggregation d...

Discussions about the Adria microplate offer differing views depending on the timescale and data considered. Neotectonic studies using earthquake mechanisms and GPS site velocities find Adria moving northeastward away from Italy, and bounded by an extensional boundary in the Apennines and convergent boundaries in the Dinarides and Venetian Alps. However, geologic data show that Adria was subduc...

15 The geodiversity of Crete is quantified in this study, based on the classification of 16 geomorphometric, geological and climatic factors. A number of geomorphometric variables, 17 extracted from the ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (ASTER G-DEM) in conjunction 18 with geological and climatic information, are evaluated through various algorithms incorporated 19 into Geographical Informat...

Climatic changes and neotectonic movements in the north-western plains of India have led to the migration and abandonment of drainage systems to form a large number of palaeochannels. Palaeochannels present in the study area were extracted from final geomorphological map. These were delineated from satellite image by considering combination of various factors. These channels show a discontinuou...

In order to investigate biogeographic influences on xeric biota in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF), a biodiversity hotspot, we used a monophyletic group including three cactus taxa as a model to perform a phylogeographic study: Cereus fernambucensis subsp. fernambucensis, C. fernambucensis subsp. sericifer, and C. insularis. These cacti are allopatric and grow in xeric habitats along BAF, i...
