Abstract Submarine geomorphology underwent significant development in the second half of twentieth century, largely thanks to advances technology by military, navigation and hydrocarbon industry, which were later transferred academic commercial sectors. In this chapter we summarize key methods used submarine between 1950 2000, include sidescan sonar, multibeam echo sounder, reflection seismolog...

Based on easily available morphological data within the Seine river watershed (76750 km(2)), two approaches were used for wetland delineation and characterisation. Their common assumption is that geomorphology largely governs the spatial distribution of wetlands, because it determines topography and the nature of deposits, thus water pathways and residence times. The first approach relies on th...

We surveyed montane meadows in the northern Sierra Nevada and southern Cascades for two field seasons to compare commonly used aquatic and terrestrial-based assessments of meadow condition. We surveyed (1) fish, (2) reptiles, (3) amphibians, (4) aquatic macroinvertebrates, (5) stream geomorphology, (6) physical habitat, and (7) terrestrial vegetation in 79 meadows between the elevations of 1,00...

Interpretation of subsurface geology is greatly enhanced by 3-D seismic data, and this accounts for its ubiquity in today’s search for hydrocarbons. Seismic interpretation has two fundamental disciplines at its core: seismic geomorphology and seismic stratigraphy. Plan views allow the explorationist to apply principles of geomorphology, based on analogies with modern sedimentary systems, to int...
