The diatom motility trait is widely used in bioassessment studies, however, there no strong consensus as to what environmental conditions reflects. We random forest models explore the behavior of several diatom-based indices and examined whether stronger motility-environmental relationships could be developed by controlling for factors that influence natural sediment loads co-occur with anthrop...

In this paper, we present the results of several case studies using InSAR techniques from high resolution RADARSAT to monitor active landslides triggered by earthquakes and other geomorphic processes. Our results have shown that our InSAR results were used that facilitate mitigation efforts along strategic transportation and energy corridors as well as reconstruction efforts in earthquake damag...

The southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) is well known for its large strike–slip faults with high slip rates and a potential seismic hazards. However, little about thrust associated hazards, even though they can produce devastating earthquakes despite their relatively low rate. Here we investigated the recent tectonic uplift pattern in SETP on regional scale by combining geomorphic analysis geod...

Abstract. The ability to understand and predict coarse-sediment transport in torrent catchments is a key element for the protection against prevention of associated hazards. In this study, we collected data describing sediment supply at 99 torrential northern French Alps. sample covers wide range geomorphic activity: from torrents experiencing debris flows every few years fully forested exporti...

The morphotectonic analysis is a useful time-saving and cost-effective method to assess tectonic activity, especially in large regions. In this paper, the study was carried out Kerman city which southeast of Iran part Central structural zone. Despite occurrence numerous historical instrumental earthquakes around city, there gap earthquake records that has obscured its seismicity status. aim ide...

H and geomorphology are important determinants of the structure and function of fluvial ecosystems. Streamflow quantity and timing are often viewed as “master variables” limiting the distribution and abundance of riverine species (Poff et al. 1997) and the flux of nutrients into streams (Grimm 1987, Welter et al. 2005). Geomorphic structure—particularly channel form—is known to influence commun...

Introduction: Recently released, high-resolution images from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) and the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) reveal a myriad of intriguing landforms banked along the northern edge of Terby Crater located on the northern rim of Hellas (~28°S, 287°W). Landforms within this crater include north-trending troughs and ridges, a remarkable 2.5 km–thick sequence of expose...
