Extensive evidence of landform-scale martian geomorphic changes has been acquired in the last decade, and number range examples surface activity have increased as more high-resolution imagery acquired. Within present-day Mars climate, wind frost/ice are dominant drivers, resulting large avalanches material down icy, rocky, or sandy slopes; sediment transport leading to many scales aeolian bedfo...

The origin of geological depressions abounding on Mars and other planetary bodies remains poorly understood, partially due to the limited variability in settings existing terrestrial analogs. Here, we present a new analog that is located at northwestern margin Levantine volcanic field Harrat Ash−Shaam along Dead Sea Transform. site consists tens (locally named “juba”) morphologically resemble M...

Introduction. The western and northwestern flanks of the Tharsis Montes volcanoes were covered by tropical mountain glaciers 125–220 million years ago [1], as evidenced by the morphology, stratigraphic relationships, and spatial distribution of landforms in the fanshaped deposits (FSDs) on each volcano [2-8] and by climate and glacial flow models that predict snow accumulation and ice flow in t...

This study focuses on linear anthropogenic landforms of decametric width on cultivated hillslopes and their relations to soil thickness variability. The 16 ha study area shows a rolling topography supported by Cretaceous chalk of the SW Parisian Basin, France. Two types of landforms were identified: lynchets, similar to those described as soil terraces occurring on downslope field parts in othe...

Small mammals particularly rodents, are considered the primary natural hosts of plague. Literature suggests that plague persistence in natural foci has a root cause in soils. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between on the one hand landforms and associated soil properties, and on the other hand small mammals and fleas in West Usambara Mountains in Tanzania, a plag...
