The main issues about relation between climate and relief in the Romanian geomorphological literature follow three directions of research: the description of Pleistocene glacial and Pleistocene-Holocene periglacial landforms in the Carpathians; the direct analysis of climate?s role in landform development; the integration of separate works and findings in a synthetic morphodynamic system applic...

Spacecrafts orbiting a selected suite of planets and moons of our solar system are continuously sending long sequences of data back to Earth. The availability of such data provides an opportunity to invoke tools from machine learning and pattern recognition to extract patterns that can help to understand geological processes shaping planetary surfaces. Due to the marked interest of the scientif...

Submitted to the Texas Water Development Board 2 PREFACE This report is submitted in fulfillment of contract no. 2005-483-564 between the Texas Water Development Board and Jonathan Phillips (doing business as Copperhead Road Geoscience). The report is presented in two more-or-less independent parts, reflecting the Scope of Work for the project. The first is a review and evaluation of geomorphic...

sarygamesh basin one of the bulhary chay tributary take place in moghan plain, northeastern azarbyjan area in iran and south edge of kora- araz zone. aims of this research are study specificities and geomorphic evolution of sarygamesh basin, survey rivers work on structure and geologic formation, and corresponding hydrographic with earth structure. toward above aim is used to litologic, structu...

Theoretical assumptions, research methodologies and results applications of innovative geological and geomorphological mapping for landslide hazard evaluation in the alpine environment are presented in the paper. Case studies from the Italian NW-Alps highlight the role of Geomatics techniques in enhancing the accuracy of multitemporal reconstructions of geomorphic processes and landforms. Aeria...

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...

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...

â â â  chele basin is located in zagros mountains and the border between kermanshah and ilam. seems young geomorphological landforms in the region, are as a result of quaternary neotectonic activities . the purpose of this study is assessment of young morphotectonic movements influence on landform evolution in the chele basin øŒ and comparing the result with the tentative indices and geomorphic...

In Geomorphology the landforms delineation and delimitation are based on traditional techniques which is usually achieved by two different approaches: semantic and geometric. The semantic approach involves interpreting aerial photographs as well as using field knowledge to map the possible landforms extent. The geometric approach involves inferring the probability of extension on related proper...

This investigation uses a multidisciplinary approach including geomorphic surface mapping, soil stratigraphic analysis, radiocarbon dating and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating to investigate the chronology of soil formation and aeolian activation periods recorded in ridge dune deposits as well as the spatial variability of aeolian processes during active aeolian episodes. This stu...
