Geographical Information Systems is a useful tool for marine geohazard mapping. This paper describes an integrated and systematic map-based approach for identification and characterization of submarine landslide with multidisciplinary data such as multibeam bathymetric data, multichannel seismic data, sidescan sonar and so on. Taking Liwan 31 gas field in northern continental slope of Southern ...

the volume and surface area of the coast is a function of basin water levels. recognizing the factors of coastal geomorphologic changes could have a pivotal role in planning and managing the coast. effective factors in the formation and evolution of geomorphologic factors such as geological, tectonic, paleoclimatic, paleoclimatic and sea level changes have been considered in this study and the ...

In this study using the Idrisi software system, a methodology for jointly analyzing and interpreting multi-spectral images and DEMs for extracting structural-geology features is given. In analyzing and interpreting multi-spectral images for geological features, certain criteria are employed to acquire information about the geological structures of the land, such as topographic, geomorphologic, ...

the geomorphology is an important branch of natural geography that its goal is promotion of human life, ultimately. the geomorphic processes have considerable impact on human life, and opposing, human activities and behaviors have its impacts on the geomorphologic units and geomorphologic processes, enhancing the above argument. the gilan county, at its geographic position; embraced by two stru...

The objective of this study is to generate a flood hazard map based on geomorphologic approach employing Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) DEM and satellite image data (ASTER and LANDSAT). Supervised classification of satellite images is implemented to characterize land cover types. Moreover, the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) is undertaken to identify moist surface o...

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...
