geomorphosites or special geomorphologic sites are new concepts which have entered tourism literature with anemphasis on special sites. basically, the goal for discussing such concepts is to identify landforms with specialimportance on understanding the geomorphologic structure of a region and their scientific, ecological, cultural,aesthetic, and economical values. generally, they are used for ...

Different from the continuous development of many river deltas since major Holocene transgression, modern Yellow River delta (YRD) remained for nearly 1000 years (from 893 AD to 1855 AD) in an abandonment state, until after when it was buried entered sea via Lijin. In this study we used optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating and grain size sedimentary facies analysis four borehole cores...

The study area is located in the Eastern Anatolian Plateau found Alpine-Himalayan fold mountain belt. Engil River Upper Basin (Güzelsu) within Lake Van Closed Basin, largest soda lake this belt terms of volume and area. This aims to investigate geomorphologic evolution Güzelsu support development with morphometric analysis. With aim, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was created aim quantifying e...

Mass-transport complexes (MTCs) in sedimentary basins reflect the gravitational transport of sediments from shelf edge to abyssal plain. Megaclasts, large blocks hundreds meters long within MTCs, can record kinematic and information deemed essential understanding source-to-sink systems. Yet, deformation structures such megaclasts remain poorly understood. This study uses high-quality, three-dim...

Improving the predictive capabilities of rainfall-runoff models in ungauged catchments is a challenging task but has important theoretical and practical significance. In this study, we investigated the predictive capabilities of the conceptual Xinanjiang model (XAJ), which is widely used for flood forecasting and simulation in China, in ungauged catchments. We further produced a hybrid rainfall...

The development of the south polar Chasma Australe re-entrant has been discussed for several years and a variety of theories including eolian, aquatic, subglacial and tectonic mechanisms have been proposed for its formation. Morphological observations and studies of recent imagery support the idea of successive headward erosion and removal of volatile–rich sub–surface material combined with col...

Soil aeolian erodibility is the efficiency with which soil produces dust for a given meteorological forcing. Quantifying soil erodibility is crucial for forecasting dust events and the climatological distribution and forcing of dust. We use long term station observations and satellite indices of mineral dust to ascertain the role of regional topography, geomorphology, and hydrology in controlli...

The Atacama Desert has experienced a long and protracted period of hyperaridity that has resulted in what may be the most unusual biome on Earth, but the duration of this aridity is poorly constrained. We reconstructed aspects of the fl uvial and geochemical history of this region using integrated landscape features (alluvial fans, hillslope soils, soil chemistry, river profi les) in the southe...
