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...

Flash floods represent one of the natural hazards that causes greatest number victims in Mediterranean area. These processes occur by short and intense rainfall affecting limited areas a few square kilometers, with rapid hydrological responses. Among flood frequency increase last decades are effects urban expansion fluvial pertinence climatic change, namely interaction between anthropogenic lan...

We report erosion rates determined from in situ produced cosmogenic Be across a spectrum of Australian climatic zones, from the soil-mantled SE Australian escarpment through semi-arid bedrock ranges of southern and central Australia, to soil-mantled ridges at a monsoonal tropical site near the Arnhem escarpment. Climate has a major effect on the balance between erosion and transport and also on...

Geomorphological indicators of large-scale climatic changes in the Eastern Bolivian lowlands This study provides an inventory of geomorphologi¬ cal landforms in Eastern Bolivia at different spatial scales. Landforms and associated processes are interpreted and discussed regarding landscape evolution and paleoclimatic significance. Thereby. preliminary conclusions about past climate changes and ...

spatial analysis of aeolian landforms by fractal theory (case study: ardestan rig) abstract natural sciences face to a great revolution, nowadays. now, scientists think the world as a collection of complex systems which prediction of consequences of this complex systems is so difficult. in this situation the systems have rotational act so irregularly lead to regular and regularly lead to irregu...

Earth’s landscape is continually evolving as land uplifted by tectonic and volcanic processes is eroded by water, ice, and wind. On Earth, the dominant landforms have been produced by the action of rivers and glaciers transporting material from mountains to the sea. The amount and proportion of water and ice available for changing the landscape are both sensitive to climatic regime, so that a s...

Genesis and morphology of soil pendants in Quaternary landforms of Pabranagat Valley, Nevada

Mangrove forests occur across a diversity of coastal landforms that influence their structural development and productivity. Preliminary studies in Kenya indicate mangroves growing the region north south Tana River delta have different attributes. We hypothesise close relationship between mangrove distribution, climate landform types. Floristic composition along coast was characterised differen...

Scripting cartographic technique is a new method of geospatial data visualization - especially with thematic mapping such as geomorphological models. The purpose this study was to explore the use Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) and R for topographic Serbia using free open datasets (DEM, SRTM/ GEBCO, OpenStreetMap). Current trend in education research distance-based online-based suggests that applic...

High resolution DEMs obtained from LiDAR topographic data have led to 9 improved landform inventories (e.g. landslides and fault scarps) and understanding of 10 geomorphic event frequency. Here we use airborne LiDAR mapping to investigate 11 meltwater pathways associated with the Tweed Valley palaeo ice-stream (UK). In particular 12 we focus on a gorge downstream of Palaeolake Milfield, previou...
