This paper deals with a landscape evolution model to compute cockpit karsts landforms. The CHILD model is used to model geomorphic processes at regional scale. After examining briefly CHILD’s principles and equations of limestone dissolution processes, the denudation model is detailed. The relation between subcutaneous dissolution and denudation of the topography is introduced by means of an em...

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...

The Amazonian period of Mars has been described as static, cold, and dry. Recent analysis of high-resolution imagery of equatorial and mid-latitude regions has revealed an array of young landforms produced in association with ice and liquid water; because near-surface ice in these regions is currently unstable, these ice-and-water-related landforms suggest one or more episodes of martian climat...

In the Leh valley, apart from river Indus, several nalas have a great significance on development of number villages and settlement areas. The present work is an effort to illustrate pivotal role Stakmo nala in establishment village. study also seeks emphasis necessity basin management sustain natural resources for existence villages. Various problems related with city its adjacent area been st...

The present-day topography of the European Alps shows evidence of intense glacial reshaping. However, significant questions regarding Alpine landscape evolution during glaciations still persist. In this study, we focus on the Rhône valley (Swiss Alps), and use a numerical model to estimate patterns and magnitudes of glacial erosion. Comparing modeling results on a reconstructed pre-glacial topo...

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...

the result of wind dynamic (capacity and potential) is transport of soil or sediment particles and subsequent formative desert landforms based on the severity of erosion or sedimentation. the khartouran region, because of its geology, geomorphology and climatology conditions is a special place in the arid region on the closed basin of dasht-e-kavir. it is evident that the ecosystem balance of t...
