This paper describes the use of a prototype coastal management expert system, to facilitate the extraction of a salient element of coastal landforms from a DEM derived from stereo aerial photography. The system, COAMES (COAstal Management Expert System), is currently under development at Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the University of Plymouth. The sub-landform to be extracted is identified an...

2 Graduate Research Assistant and Associate Professor of Fisheries, respectively, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, 97331, USA. Abstract: Abundance of resident cutthroat (Salmo clarki) and rainbow (Salmo gairdneri) trout was generally 1.5 to 3.5 times greater in unconstrained reaches than in constrained reaches of Lookout Creek, a fourth-order tributa...

We analyze major landforms of the Lut Desert in Iran to provide a comprehensive source-to-sink picture aeolian systems on time scales from decades millions years. map modern sandflows, along which we evaluate volume and chronology associated with excavation mega-yardangs upwind formation giant dunes downwind. Sediment discharges deduced long-term erosion deposition are same order magnitude (105...

The Aladağlar is a mountain range located in the central Taurus Mountains (37°45′ N, 35°15′ E) along Mediterranean coast of Turkey, dominated by geomorphic features intervened karstic and glacial landscapes. Aladağlar, also known as Alps one most popular places for mountaineering. Here, we present comprehensive geomorphological map mountain. Despite increased recent research, understanding spat...

Roads have been a part of human landscapes for more than 40 centuries. During the 20th century, technological advances have increased our ability to construct new roads at unprecedented rates and into steeper terrain. In the last half of that century, an extensive network of roads has been constructed in forests and other wildlands to facilitate use and management of natural resources. They are...

Well-constrained case studies of transient landscape response to external forcing are needed to improve our understanding of erosion processes in tectonically active mountain belts. The Peninsular Ranges portion of the San Jacinto fault zone (SJFZ) is an excellent location for such a study because it displays pronounced geomorphic disequilibrium resulting from initiation of a major strike-slip ...

abstract geopedology is a systematic approach of geomorphic analysis for soil mapping which focuses the field operation mainly on sample area. the purpose of this study is to determine the credibility of generalization of the results of geopedological approach for similar landforms in the borujen region, using diversity and similarity indices in a soil taxonomic hierarchical structure. after a ...

We present a geomorphic map of the glacial landforms associated with Golfo Corcovado ice lobe in northwestern Patagonia. Built upon prior studies, our elaborates on central and southern sectors Isla Grande de Chiloé neighboring islands. Through combination remote sensing techniques exhaustive fieldwork, we identified suite ice-marginal, subglacial, glaciofluvial features created by during four ...
