Sado Island is floating offshore of Niigata on Sea of Japan. This island is 855km2 and composed of Ko-sado (Small Sado) and O-Sado (Large Sado), and both them are arranged in a direction of NNE-SSW. This arrangement are parallel to Kakuda-Yahiko Range, south of Niigata City in the main land. O-Sado has the highest peak of more than 1100 m (Kinpokusan: 1172m), and Ko-Sado of 600 m high peak (Dai...

Currently campo rupestre (CR) is a name accepted and used internationally by botanists, zoologists, and other naturalists, usually applied to a very specific ecosystem, despite the lack of a consensual published circumscription. We present a tentative geographic circumscription of the term, combining data on climate, geology, geomorphology, soil, flora, fauna and vegetation. The circumscription...

The dips of boundaries in faults and caldera walls play an important role in understanding their formation mechanisms. The fault dip is a particularly important parameter in numerical simulations for hazard map creation as the fault dip affects estimations of the area of disaster occurrence. In this study, I introduce a technique for estimating the fault dip using the eigenvector of the observe...

The fields of hydrology and fluvial geomorphology get more and more attention in the general public. The reason for this is changed climate patterns with increased frequencies of storms and river flooding and as a result changed geomorphology and living conditions for the inhabitants of the area. With the development of 3D geovisualization, hydrological and geomorphological processes can be bet...

Submitted to the Texas Water Development Board 2 PREFACE This report is submitted in fulfillment of contract no. 2005-483-564 between the Texas Water Development Board and Jonathan Phillips (doing business as Copperhead Road Geoscience). The report is presented in two more-or-less independent parts, reflecting the Scope of Work for the project. The first is a review and evaluation of geomorphic...

Arctic Region (AR); Its role in global climate change, recently opened commercial sea routes, unexploited industrial resources, unique polar ecosystem and international geopolitical balance making it a strategic area that attracts the attention of many countries. In this aspect, Council carries out various studies cooperation, especially interdisciplinary scientific research AR. Apart from Coun...

Tectonic geomorphology is an important research area that uses multisource data to quantify the landscape response induced by interaction between tectonic uplift and climate changes. In this study, a comprehensive quantitative analysis using bibliometric scientometrics based on areas, countries, institutions, journals, authors, keywords, citations carried out, which provides exhaustive history ...

This paper explores the signi®cance of groundwater dominance in the surface water system through a combination of review and an exposition of the general hydrology, ecology and geomorphology of rivers draining the main UK aquifers. Groundwater dominance is shown to vary according to the nature of the aquifer lithology, the mechanism of groundwater:surface water interaction and the scale at whic...
