land degradation, or desertification, is specific to arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid regions. the rate of thisphenomenon is high in developing countries such as iran. this research investigated desertification and mapping ofdesertification in abuzaydabad, near kashan, iran, with an emphasis on land criteria using an imdpa model.different studies have assessed land degradation or desertificat...

We studied the effects of stand parameters (crown closure, basal area, stand volume, age, mean stand diameter number of trees, and heterogeneity index) and geomorphology features (elevation, aspect and slope) on tree species diversity in an example of untreated natural mixed forest stands in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. Tree species diversity and basal area heterogeneity in forest ec...

The future extraction of mineral resources may irreversibly damage ocean floor geodiversity in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. Therefore, understanding spatial distribution relation to is important. For that purpose, we first developed a index map western Ocean including information openly available digital layers four components: seafloor geomorphology, sediment thickness, bathymetry and roughnes...

The history of geomorphology can be a valuable tool for educating students of geomorphology. The largest and most available record of what geomorphologists thought and did in the past is their original published work. Also available are some fine papers on the history of geomorphology that review and analyze primary sources and past events in the discipline in order to generalize, explain trend...

This paper introduces a new method for three-dimensional (3D) coastal geomorphology reconstruction using differential synthetic aperture interferometry (DInSAR). The new method is based on an integration between fuzzy B-spline algorithm and DInSAR method. DInSAR algorithm is involved two parts: (i) 3D map simulation which is based on interferogram simulation and (ii) satellite orbit parameters....

abstract the purpose of this paper is to inform students and researchers of geomorphology from the situation of this science at present and in future, in iran, after the islamic revolution. to fulfill this purpose and to prouide full information about the situation of geomorphology in iran, various areas of this science are presented chronologically at the begining of the article. the findings ...
