Study area is located in the higher folded belt in the Zagros Mountain in the Iraqi Kurdistan. Analyzed geomorphic indices included sixteen sub basins: the stream gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (AF), hypsometric integral (Hi), Valley floor width-valley height ratio (VF) and mountain front sinuosity (J) is obtained relative of tectonic activity in the study area. These indices abo...

This study focuses on the morphotectonics of Central High Atlas in Morocco through analysis morphotectonic indices recorded by topography, drainage networks, and longitudinal stream profiles. The methods used this work were length-gradient index (SLI), normalized steepness index, area-altitude relations (hypsometric curves), mountain front sinuosity, basin shape ratio, asymmetry factor. aim is ...

Meandering channels with exposed point bars and sinuosities near 2.0 can spontaneously develop in a mix of diatomaceous earth and kaolinite clay. The experimental streams that were studied were as small as 4 cm wide. They showed many of the characteristics found in large meandering streams such as migration of channels, formation of point bars, clay plugs, chutes and bar scrolls. Most of the me...

The Sulaiman Fold Thrust (SFT) in Central Pakistan formed during the India-Eurasia collision late Cenozoic. However, mechanics of shortening brittle crust at time scales seismic cycles is still poorly understood. Here, we use radar interferometry to analyze deformation associated with 2015 magnitude (Mw) 5.7 Dajal blind earthquake eastern boundary SFT. We kinematic inversions determine distribu...

The hyporheic zone in stream ecosystems is a heterogeneous key habitat for species across many taxa. Consequently, it attracts high attention among freshwater scientists, but generally applicable guidelines on sampling strategies are lacking. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop and validate such sampling guidelines. Applying geostatistical analysis, we quantified the spatio-tempora...

[1] Recent gullies on Mars are suspected to be the result of liquid‐water‐bearing flows. A formation from wet flows has been challenged by studies invoking granular (dry) flows. Our study focuses on the sinuous shapes observed for some of the recent Martian gullies. Sinuous gullies are found in locations and slopes (of 10°–15°) similar to straight gullies, and they are therefore related to the ...

Chiang Khong Basin (CKB) is a northeast-southwest active basin in Rai province, northern Thailand. The bounded to the east by numerous fault segments of Mae Ing Fault Zone (MIFZ), where they have triggered several previous earthquakes and vicinities. Although slip MIFZ has some earthquakes, deformation landscape affected tectonic processes mainly unknown. According uniform lithologic climatic c...
