2 Abstract Vegetation type and cover play an important role in the operation of geomorphological processes by controlling runoff and sediment dynamics. In drylands, land degradation is particularly sensitive to these eco-geomorphic interactions. Whilst many geomorphological studies of land degradation focus on the change in hydrological response as a function of vegetation cover, few have inves...

Resourcesat-1 LISS-IV Mx satellite imagery was used for detailed geomorphological and hydrogeological study of Karawan watershed. For morphometric analysis, ASTER data was used for preparing digital elevation model and GIS was used in evaluation of linear, areal and relief aspects of morphometric parameters. Watershed boundary, flow accumulation, flow direction, stream ordering; and contour, sl...

the study area, paykola anticline, is located in the southwestern part of kermanshah province. the aim of this research is to evaluate the geomorphological indexes of active tectonics in paykola anticline as well as to study the effect of tectonic in the form and direction of geomorphological landforms. to achieve the aim of study, the lithological and tectonic characteristics of study area wer...

of geomorphological investigation. However, the process of this analysis itself is in fact still unclear, even though geomorphologists use it very often. Therefore, a firm concept of geomorphological analysis has been postulated according to a proposal published by Urbánek (2000a, b) and applied to geomorphological research of previously glaciated areas in the Šumava Mts. (the Czech Republic). ...

Definition Geomorphology is the science that studies the origin and development of landforms and how those landforms combine to form landscapes. Landforms are shaped by geomorphological processes, many of which involve the weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition of surface materials (rock, sediment) by gravity, ice, wind, or water. Both erosional and depositional landforms can be id...

Terrain surfaces conserve human activities in terms of textures and structures. The objective of geomorphological filters is to distinguish between anthropogenically undisturbed and disturbed surfaces. Filters applied over high-resolution DTM show a clear anthropogenic character of contour lines and channels. Based on methodology of geomorphometry and geo-statistics a series of analyses functio...

On Kranjsko polje in central Slovenia, carbonate conglomerates have been dated to several Pleistocene glacial phases by relative dating based on the morphostratigrafic mapping and borehole data, and by paleomagnetic and 10Be analyses. To define how the age of conglomerates determines the geomorphological characteristics of karst surface features, morphometrical and distributive spatial analyses...

To optimize ecosystem services provided by agricultural drainage networks (ditches) in headwater catchments, we need to manage the spatial distribution of plant species living in these networks. Geomorphological variables have been shown to be important predictors of plant distribution in other ecosystems because they control the water regime, the sediment deposition rates and the sun exposure ...

Periods of exceptional climate change in Earth history are associated with a dynamic response from the geosphere, involving enhanced levels of potentially hazardous geological and geomorphological activity. The response is expressed through the adjustment, modulation or triggering of a broad range of surface and crustal phenomena, including volcanic and seismic activity, submarine and subaerial...
