Long-term landscape evolution is the integrative sum of constructive rock-uplift processes and destructive erosional processes. For the Southern Rocky Mountains, it has been proposed that Phanerozoic rock uplift and erosion have been influenced by crustal structure that was inherited from the time of assembly of the continent in the Proterozoic. This paper compares large-scale geomorphology and...

desertification is specific phenomenon of arid, semi-arid, dry sub humid regions. this phenomenon has a high rate in developing countries such as iran. the main objective of this research was calibration of imdpa model in abuzeidabad (kashan) region with emphasis on land criteria. imdpa model, introduced by iranian researchers to assess desertification intensity in iran. before application, the...

This note analyzes for the first time geomorphology and sedimentary features of Simpson Submarine Canyon (SSC), located between Chiloé Island Taitao Peninsula. For that purpose, multibeam bathymetric data were obtained in 2018. The SSC has a unique orientation compared to most canyons on Chilean margin. Slope escarpments, topographic irregularities, sinuosity canyon could be associated with reg...

The existing literature on resulting reservoir geomorphology after hydraulic reservoir flushings has been systematically examined and evaluated. The emphasis has been put on cross-sectional and longitudinal variations in geomorphology due to flushing, but also the available literature on physical models and analytical modeling and a short section on depositional processes are included as well.

Lunar landforms are the results of geological and geomorphic processes on lunar surface. It is very important to identify types landforms. Geomorphology scientific study origin evolution morphological planetary surfaces. Elevation relief amplitude most commonly used indices in geomorphological classification studies. Previous studies have determined elevation criteria In this paper, we focus to...

in central part of kopeh dagh there is an array of active right-lateral strike-slip faults that obliquely cut the range and produce offsets of several kilometers in the geomorphology and geological structure. geomorphic indices indicate the presence of differential uplifting in history of this area. tectonic activity of the study area is investigated by a large number of dem derived catchments ...

River restoration design requires the application of fluvial geomorphic concepts, and should be expected to apply the techniques concurrent with contemporary thinking and research. Through a brief review of the history of geomorphology over the past century, striking parallels between geomorphic research and river restoration practice become apparent. Namely, restoration design has been, to dat...

abstract geomorphology and soil genesis and its development are closely related. besides, soil-landscape studies provide a better understanding of soil forming processes. the objectives of the present research include soil genesis studies, micromorphology and clay mineralogy of soils related to geomorphic surfaces in jiroft area. soil temperature and moisture regimes of the area are hyperthermi...
