in recent years there has been studies concerning the investigation of macro-scale geomorphic proxies of quaternary climatic changes in the study area. without detail analysis of slope geomorphic features, there can be little progress on expanding the knowledge of past slope development in the northwestern iran high mountain environments. consequently, the information pertaining to these quater...

loess deposit is one of the most important quaternary deposits of northeastern parts of iran which have high erosion rate. this study was performed with field- rainfall- simulator which has a plot area of 1 m2 in gorganrood drainage basin to determine the effective factors on sediment yield. landuse, slope and erosion feature maps were overlaid in gis to obtain land unit map. then on work units...

in this research, geographical information system (gis) and analytical hierarchy process (ahp) were applied to agricultural land use suitability of aq-qala township for barley cropping in rainfed condition. for this purpose, 17 environmental layers of the study area collected, and thematic maps such as slope, elevation, precipitation, average, minimum and maximum temperatures and some of micro ...

The number of large slope failures in some high-mountain regions such as the European Alps has increased during the past two to three decades. There is concern that recent climate change is driving this increase in slope failures, thus possibly further exacerbating the hazard in the future. Although the effects of a gradual temperature rise on glaciers and permafrost have been extensively studi...

On August 13, 1995, a slope above Shum Wan Road failed due to high rainfall and caused a 30-m section of Nam Long Shan Road to collapse. The slope consists of weathered tuffs with a clay layer on the surface ofthe failure. A hydrogeological study was carried out by saturated finite difference grid model, MODFLOW, for the slope at the Shum Wan Road area. From the ground-water model, it was found...
