sarygamesh basin one of the bulhary chay tributary take place in moghan plain, northeastern azarbyjan area in iran and south edge of kora- araz zone. aims of this research are study specificities and geomorphic evolution of sarygamesh basin, survey rivers work on structure and geologic formation, and corresponding hydrographic with earth structure. toward above aim is used to litologic, structu...

Soil erosion is one of the important and worldwide environmental and economic issues. High amount of sediments accumulations behind the different structures such as dams requires several attempts to minimize their potential risks. Therefore, some quantified data will be needed in order to recognize those critical areas which requires urgent conservation. Since conventional procedures are time c...

In most landform classification studies – either per cell or object-based – the authors have ignored modeling the semantics of landforms explicitly. Thus, landform classification schemes rely on individual knowledge, and are too much tailored to specific areas and/or scales. Integration of structured knowledge models in the classification process has been proposed to overcome the limitations in...

The planetary topography has been the main focus of the in-orbital remote sensing. In spite of the recent development in active and passive sensing technologies to reconstruct three dimensional planetary topography, the resolution limit of range measurement is theoretically and practically obvious. Therefore, the extraction of inner topographical height variation within a measurement spot is ve...

Land management and planning is crucial for present and future use of land and the sustainability of land resources. Physical, biological and cultural characteristics of land can be used to define Land Management Units (LMUs) that aid in decision making for managing land and communicating information between different research and application domains. This study aims to describe the classificat...

Introduction: Simple models of geomorphic modification of planetary surfaces by erosion or deposition are reported here. These processes are linear and non-linear creep, uniform accrescence and decrescence, and non-linear airfall deposition. They do not include models of flow whose depth is of the same order of magnitude as the landform, such as glacial flow or relaxation of crater forms in pla...

Particle size analysis of lacustrine core sediments and atmospheric natural dust were conducted in the drainage area of Ebinur Lake in arid northwest China. Using a combination of (137)Cs and (210)Pb dating, a continuous record of aeolian transportation to the lake sediments and related factors over about the past 150 years was analyzed. Factor analysis revealed the particle-size distributions ...
