Depressional forested wetlands or geographically isolated wetlands such as cypress swamps and Carolina bays are common land features in the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the southeastern US. Those wetlands play important roles in providing wildlife habitats, water quality improvement, and carbon sequestration. Great stresses have been imposed on those important ecosystems due to rapid human populat...

This study focuses on the glacial landform record associated with recent surge events of Tunabreen a calving tidewater glacier in Tempelfjorden, Spitsbergen. Submarine geomorphology and recent terminal fluctuations of Tunabreen’s glacier front were studied using high-resolution multibeambathymetric data and a range of published and remotesensing sources, including topographic maps, satellite im...

Abstract Submarine geomorphology underwent significant development in the second half of twentieth century, largely thanks to advances technology by military, navigation and hydrocarbon industry, which were later transferred academic commercial sectors. In this chapter we summarize key methods used submarine between 1950 2000, include sidescan sonar, multibeam echo sounder, reflection seismolog...

This article provides a background for scientists interested in a general overview of the geology and geomorphology of Turkmenistan. The basement of Turkmenistan is a complex amalgamation of arc-related terranes developed in the Asiatic and northern Paleotethys oceanic domains during Late Paleozoic to Triassic times. A major part of the country coincides with the Turan Platform, where a thick s...
