Terrain surfaces conserve human activities in terms of textures and structures. The objective of geomorphological filters is to distinguish between anthropogenically undisturbed and disturbed surfaces. Filters applied over high-resolution DTM show a clear anthropogenic character of contour lines and channels. Based on methodology of geomorphometry and geo-statistics a series of analyses functio...

This review provides a synthesis of the evolution Pyrenees since ~84 Ma and is uniquely focused on analysing jointly comparatively its peripheral pro-foreland, retro-foreland Mediterranean basins. The reconstructions adopt geomorphological perspective waxing waning palaeorelief, underpinned by (i) denudation history mountain belt encoded in sedimentary record basins, (ii) rock-cooling histories...

Mangrove forests are dynamic ecosystems found along low-lying coastal plains tropical, subtropical, and some warm-temperate coasts, predominantly on tidal flats fringing deltas, estuaries, bays, oceanic atolls. These landforms present varied hydrodynamic geomorphological settings for mangroves to persist could influence the extent of within-site propagule transport subsequent local regeneration...

The aim of this work is to study the process transformation debris-free mountain glaciers into debris-covered and rock glaciers, examine factors driving diverging evolution in similar glacial systems. area Hofsdalur valley, Tröllaskagi peninsula (northern Iceland), where several cirques host a great diversity as well various landforms. Four adjacent have been analysed through multidisciplinary ...

Relatively young landforms on Mars, seen in high-resolution images acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera since March 1999, suggest the presence of sources of liquid water at shallow depths beneath the martian surface. Found at middle and high martian latitudes (particularly in the southern hemisphere), gullies within the walls of a very small number of impact craters, south p...

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...

Globally, mountain glaciers and ice caps are losing dramatic volumes of ice. The resultant sea-level rise is dominated by contributions from Alaska. Plateau icefields may be especially sensitive to climate change due the non-linear controls their topography imparts on response change. However, Alaskan plateau have been subject little structural glaciological or regional geomorphological assessm...

To optimize ecosystem services provided by agricultural drainage networks (ditches) in headwater catchments, we need to manage the spatial distribution of plant species living in these networks. Geomorphological variables have been shown to be important predictors of plant distribution in other ecosystems because they control the water regime, the sediment deposition rates and the sun exposure ...

The paper begins with the question “Do mountains exist?” It shows that providing an answer to this question is surprisingly difficult, and that the answer which one gives depends on the context in which the question is posed. Mountains clearly exist as real correlates of everyday human thought and action, and they form the archetype for geographic objects. Yet individual mountains lack many of ...

Spacecrafts orbiting a selected suite of planets and moons of our solar system are continuously sending long sequences of data back to Earth. The availability of such data provides an opportunity to invoke tools from machine learning and pattern recognition to extract patterns that can help to understand geological processes shaping planetary surfaces. Due to the marked interest of the scientif...
