Periods of exceptional climate change in Earth history are associated with a dynamic response from the geosphere, involving enhanced levels of potentially hazardous geological and geomorphological activity. The response is expressed through the adjustment, modulation or triggering of a broad range of surface and crustal phenomena, including volcanic and seismic activity, submarine and subaerial...

Alpine topography is formed by a complex series of geomorphological processes that result in vast number different landforms. The youngest and most diverse landforms are various Quaternary sedimentary bodies, each characterised its unique landform features. formation bodies their features derive from the dominant building processes. In recent years, studies have been greatly aided use digital e...

Landscapes subject to constant forcing tend to evolve toward equilibrium states in which individual landforms have similar characteristics. Yet, even in landscapes at or near equilibrium, there can be significant variability among individual landforms. Furthermore, sites subject to similar processes and conditions can have different mean landform characteristics. This variability is often ascri...

ISSN 2277 – 503X | © 2012 Bonfring Abstract--The Remote sensing technology is measured or observed reflected energy to construct an image of the landscape beneath the platform passage in a discrete pixel format. The geometric and radiometric characteristics of remotely sensed image provide information about earth’s surface. In the present study, the primary data product obtained from IRS P6 sat...

This study presents a 1:25,000 geomorphological map of the northern sector Ulu Peninsula, James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula. The covers an area c. 250 km2, and documents landforms surficial sediments one largest ice-free areas in Antarctica, based on remote sensing field-based mapping. large-scale landscape features are determined by underlying Cretaceous sedimentary Neogene volcanic geolo...
