We present a large scale (1:10,000) geomorphological map of Favignana Island, in which landforms were recognized and genetically categorized based on analysis stereoscopic aerial photographs and...

In the coastal mountains of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica, there is a juxtaposition of ice moulded landforms at lower altitudes and upstanding summits with weathered surfaces bearing tors. This paper uses geomorphological mapping and exposure dating to test two hypotheses commonly used to explain such a landscape contrast: either the pattern reflects contrasts in glacial erosion related to the ba...

1. California is a tectonically active region with a Mediterranean climate, resulting in extreme spatial and temporal variability in river channel conditions. Restoration approaches that work in one part of the state may not succeed elsewhere. 2. Restoration projects should be planned and designed based on an understanding of geomorphological and ecological processes, rather than simply mimicry...

Regional data needed for effective stream restoration include hydraulic geometry relationships (i.e., regional curves) and reference channel morphology parameters. Increasingly ecological conditions are being considered when designing, implementing, and assessing restoration efforts. We provide morphology relationships and associated ecological endpoint curves for reference streams in the Alaba...

during the twentieth century, with growing urbanization and machinical transportation development, and migration people to cites, many different natural attractive places come to distort by this pollution and in another way this kind of development without notice to the natural factors limitation, made lots of programs. the goles of this research recognite geomorphologic limitation, in physical...

Despite the fact that rock glaciers are one of the most common geomorphological expressions of mountain permafrost, the impacts of their solute fluxes on lakes still remain largely obscure. We examined water and sediment chemistry, and biota of two neighboring water bodies with and without a rock glacier in their catchments in the European Alps. Paleolimnological techniques were applied to trac...
