2 Abstract Vegetation type and cover play an important role in the operation of geomorphological processes by controlling runoff and sediment dynamics. In drylands, land degradation is particularly sensitive to these eco-geomorphic interactions. Whilst many geomorphological studies of land degradation focus on the change in hydrological response as a function of vegetation cover, few have inves...

Resourcesat-1 LISS-IV Mx satellite imagery was used for detailed geomorphological and hydrogeological study of Karawan watershed. For morphometric analysis, ASTER data was used for preparing digital elevation model and GIS was used in evaluation of linear, areal and relief aspects of morphometric parameters. Watershed boundary, flow accumulation, flow direction, stream ordering; and contour, sl...

the main objective of this study was to arak city zoning geomorphological parameters of the model using fuzzy logic. in order to realize these objectives, 10 parameters including of height, distance from fault, distance from the main channel, distance from sub-channel, distance from road, slope percent, distance from settlements, terrain type, erosion potential and seismic vulnerability in the ...

Coral reefs, which are known for rich biological diversity and productivity, are being threatened throughout the world by various natural and anthropogenic activities. The present study concentrates on establishing methodology to zone the geo-morphological and ecological zones of the Bangaram reef (of atoll type), Lakshadweep islands, using remotely sensed data and adequately supported by field...
