Introduction: The recent observations about different waterand ice-related features on Nepenthes region of Mars [1] [2] [3], and the evidence of changes on the Oceanus Borealis’ water level on this region [4] [5] inspired the work here presented. What are exactly the water-related landforms (glacial, periglacial, fluvial, etc) existing in this region of Mars? How are they spatially distributed?...

Abstract The Grazer Bergland is a mountainous region at the eastern end of Alps that escaped glacial erosion in Pleistocene and thus preserves low-relief landforms are relics earlier uplift history. These relic may reflect Piedmonttreppe formed during series stages wide-reaching Pliocene event interacts with landscape evolution, but this model not uniquely accepted for region. In order to test ...

Definition Geomorphology is the science that studies the origin and development of landforms and how those landforms combine to form landscapes. Landforms are shaped by geomorphological processes, many of which involve the weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition of surface materials (rock, sediment) by gravity, ice, wind, or water. Both erosional and depositional landforms can be id...

The mid-latitudes of Mars are host to a record of recent episodes of accumulations of ice-rich materials. The record includes debris aprons, interpreted to be debris-covered glaciers, that may represent the preserved remnants of a much more extensive ice sheet. We assessed the possibility of former glacial extents by examining debris aprons and the surrounding plains in Deuteronilus Mensae. Geo...

Fluvial landscapes are a result of lithospheric tectonic movement, climate evolution and surface processes. Existing evidence proves that regional deformation can be reflected by the fluvial landforms. The southern Alashan Block lies closest to northeastern Tibetan Plateau has become latest plateau outward expansion boundary. Yabrai Shan is located at intersection Plateau, Ordos Blocks, thereby...

Climate change and tectonic uplift are the dominant forcing mechanisms responsible for formation of long narrow terraced landforms in a variety geomorphic settings; marine terraces largely used to reconstruct Quaternary glacial interglacial climates. Along Mediterranean coast, considerable number popular scientific articles have acknowledged range form low-relief surfaces resulting from combine...

Introduction: Lobate debris aprons (LDA) (Fig. 1) surround steep escarpments such as the walls of isolated plateaus and massifs in the northern and southern mid-latitudes (~30 to 50) on Mars and are Middle to Late Amazonian in age [1]. Much evidence supports the formation of these features by flow of ice and debris in a manner similar to glacial systems on Earth [1-9]. Additional evidence has...

The Mississippi (MS) barrier island chain along the northern Gulf of Mexico coastline is subject to rapid changes in habitat, geomorphology and elevation by natural and anthropogenic disturbances. The purpose of this study was to compare habitat type coverage with respective elevation, geomorphic features and short-term change between the naturally-formed East Ship Island and the man-made Sand ...

Thermokarst is the process whereby the thawing of ice-rich permafrost ground causes land subsidence, resulting in development of distinctive landforms. Accelerated thermokarst due to climate change will damage infrastructure, but also impact hydrology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Here, we present a circumpolar assessment of the distribution of thermokarst landscapes, defined as landscapes comp...

despite of suitable geological and climatic conditions for forming and evolution of alluvial fans and importance of this landform as soil and water resources in arid regions, there are limited studies about this landform in iran. in the present study, evolution and pedogenic development of geomorphic surfaces of an alluvial fan in eastern isfahan were studied by using remote sensing, field and ...
