Badlands are specific landforms characterized by intense denudation processes. Their occurrence is mainly associated with clay-like materials and semi-arid Mediterranean climates. This study presents the badland inventory for Paleogene Pazin Basin located on Istrian peninsula in Croatia. A total of 5,381 polygons, a area 10.25 km2, were manually outlined, based visual interpretation orthophotos...

Flysch materials are one of the most challenging geological and often give rise to slope instability problems. Due its natural heterogeneity, geomechanical characterization flysch is somewhat difficult. The Spanish Basque Arc Alpine region a very well-known location for materials. In this paper, an area approximately 100 km2 in intensively studied their geomechanically characterized. A total 33...

The recent studies show that the past researches may have significantly underestimated earthquake and tsunami hazard in the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) and this region is potentially capable of producing major earthquakes. In this study, the worst case possible earthquake scenarios of the MSZ are simulated using fully nonlinear boussinesq model to investigate tsunami hazards on the Jask Port, ...

The active structures of the Iranian Makran, especially presence normal faults, vary laterally in upper plate subduction zone, and their relationship with deep duplexes seamounts at depth remains unknown due to poor coverage data onshore. In this paper, we investigate between topographic slope using thermo-mechanical simulations. initial boundary conditions models, including basal heat flux con...

makran subduction zone (msz) offshore of iran and pakistan is one of the most tsunamigenic sources in the indian ocean. historically, the msz has generated some tsunamigenic earthquakes like that of 28 november 1945 with the death tool of more than 4000 people along the coasts of iran, pakistan, india, and oman. in this study, the tsunami hazard associated with the msz is investigated. at first...

The investigation of the fractionation of S compounds in forest soils is a powerful tool for interpreting S dynamics and S biogeochemistry in forest ecosystems. Beech stands on high pH (nutrient-rich) sites on Flysch and on low pH (nutrient-poor) sites on Molasse were selected for testing the influence of stemflow, which represents a high input of water and dissolved elements to the soil, on sp...

A chub of previously ambiguous identity from the Boljunscica and Pazincica rivers (south-eastern Istra Peninsula) was studied and compared with geographically close Squalius squalus, Squalius zrmanja, and Squalius janae recently described from the Dragonja River drainage in the Adriatic Sea basin in Slovenia. It was shown that the chub from the south-eastern Istra Peninsula differs from all kno...
