Glacial landforms are a significant element of landscape in many regions Earth. The increasing availability high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) provides an opportunity to develop automated methods glacial exploration and classification. In this study, we aimed to: 1) identify based on DEM datasets; 2) determine relevant geomorphometric spectral parameters object-based features for t...

A study of factors impacting landslide displacement rates was conducted on the Ripley Landslide within Thompson River valley in British Columbia, Canada for International Programme Landslides’ project #202. Seasonal and multiyear changes atmospheric cause cyclic fluctuation matric suction vadose zone through to situ water content. The ingress moisture is shown contribute seasonal loss stability...

The retreat of the last Irish Ice Sheet across midlands resulted in formation an ice-contact lake, Palaeolake Riada, along its eastern margin during recession. However, full extent and characteristics lake impact on ice dynamics are unknown, as glacigenic landforms deposits relating to have not been mapped sufficient detail allow reconstruction ice-marginal behaviour. This paper presents new ma...

The area involved by the triple junction between South American, Nazca and Antarctic plates activity was affected Quaternary glaciations. Before 12,800 yrs BP an extended ice field occupied top of Patagonian Andes, irradiating glaciers towards east west dominantly. Towards east, melted in piedmont lakes; west, fjords into Pacific Ocean. Upper-Pleistocene climate amelioration caused recession th...
