Stream channelization, which entails reducing the sinuosity of a stream, widening, and in some cases deepening stream channel, is widespread practice agricultural regions. Channelization efforts central Illinois have significant impacts on geomorphology, flow regime, sediment transport both adjacent to modified reaches. The goal this study was characterize changes channels by comparing three st...

Abstract Context Wildlife–vehicle collisions (WVCs) are a significant threat for many species, cause financial loss and pose serious risk to motorist safety. Objectives We used spatial data science on regional collision from Switzerland with the objectives of identifying key environmental factors modelling WVC nationwide scale. Methods 43,000 records roe deer, red wild boar, chamois 2010 2015 b...

Abstract Rivers that traverse the terrestrial‐marine interface may have lower reaches are influenced by both terrestrial and marine processes. However, only a handful of studies focused on how interactions fluvial tidal processes translate to channel geomorphology, those largely from delta/distributary systems. Here we quantify properties along fluvial‐tidal transition reach coastal plain river...

kuhbanan fault system, as one of the intracontinental faults of central iran, is recognized by considerable seismogenic activities and modern morphotectonics evidences with a strike-slip (reverse component) motion. according to the geometric and kinematics data, kuhbanan fault has been divided into 5 segments (s26, s27, s28, s29, s30) in bahabad region. measured geomorphic indices of ratio of v...

in central part of kopeh dagh there is an array of active right-lateral strike-slip faults that obliquely cut the range and produce offsets of several kilometers in the geomorphology and geological structure. geomorphic indices indicate the presence of differential uplifting in history of this area. tectonic activity of the study area is investigated by a large number of dem derived catchments ...

Rivers play an integral part in the sustenance of life on earth. The river or natural channel’s sinuous nature causes erosion its outer wall and silt deposition inner wall. These changes terrain make it vital to design meandering compound channel. Levees, both straight meandering, can be constructed sides channel guard surrounding lands. For doubly levee alignment, momentum transfer between mai...

Meandering is one of the unique processes in Earth surface dynamics. Since 1960s, fluvial geomorphologists have generalized numerous widely-acknowledged empirical or semi-empirical formulae to describe meandering rivers' characteristics. The most frequently applied Kinoshita high-sinuosity curve meander channel planform geometry. Combining with Beck equations riverbed topography at equilibrium ...

Abstract The study aims to illustrate the River characteristics, river morphology and processes in area Landscape. morphological variables used were derived from satellite imageries available, digital elevation models, relevant maps. is describe shapes of channels how they change shape direction over time. channel an indicator a number environmental conditions. product many geographical geomorp...

During the industrialization in Europe, rivers were straightened and designed to fit human activities, thus nowadays only a few natural river systems remain as reference conditions well guiding principles for restoration projects. Therefore, state of some types is often described using historic records maps. This study aims analyze key characteristics pristine proglacial Katun Altai mountains c...


 In rapidly growing areas, land use cover (LULC) change is one of the most pre-eminent features environmental changes produced by human-induced activities. LULC are critical issues and challenges for environmentally friendly sustainable development. Understanding land-use land-cover changing patterns management, particularly effective water management. This study was focused on assessment...
