This paper provides a brief review of airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data for characterizing linear and planar geomorphic markers in tectonic geomorphology, including traces of active faults and surface deformation caused by earthquakes. Challenges and opportunities of LiDAR for the study of tectonic geomorphology and coseismic deformation are also discussed.

This study examines the use of the geographic information systems (GIS) in structural geomorphology to build the model of the crust based on fractal analysis of relief. Fractal theory, developed by B. Mandelbrot, used to determination morpho-bloc divisibility of the Earth’s surface. There is the traceable statistically recurring relief structure indicate the appropriate tiered hierarchy of crus...

Morphotectonic indices by representing the longer period of time than recorded earthquake data, are useful in evaluating the tectonic activity of a region. Dashtkhak area is located in Kerman province of Iran, where one of the most active faults, Kouhbanan strike slip fault, passes through. This data article provides a precise level data on mountain fronts and valleys of Dashtkhak region that i...

tectonic processes are major factors controlling landform development in tectonically active areas. in order to evaluate quantitative measurement of tectonic activities in the alamarvdasht basin in the south of iran, six different morphological indices including stream-gradient index (sl), drainage basin asymmetry (af), hypsometric integral (hi), valley floor width-valley height ratio (vf), dra...

The quantity and quality of remote sensing measurements tectonic deformation have increased dramatically over the past two decades, improving our ability to observe active geomorphological processes. High-precision high-resolution topography is basis for quantitative study Recently, with rapid development computer visual science growing application light detection ranging (LiDAR), small unmanne...

Karangsambung, located in Central Java, Indonesia has complex geological conditions of the tectonic evolution Java Island due to subduction process India-Australia plate with Eurasian Cretaceous-Paleocene. The movements zone have resulted diverse structures and rock types impact morphological shape study area. level activity area can be determined using a geomorphological approach. A digital el...
