in this study, the quaternary deformation and tectonic activity of saeedabad-chai drainage basin, are assessed using geomorphic approach. this drainage basin is located in northern slope of sahand mountain. north tabriz fault (ntf), is passing from the saeedabad-chai basin. variation in the morphology of mountain front provied the basis for geomorphic assessment of tectonic activity. therefore,...

We evaluated the severe degradation of floodplain habitats resulting from channelization and concomitant excessive coarse sedimentation on the Middle Fork Forked Deer River in west Tennessee from 2000 to 2003. Land use practices have resulted in excessive sediment in the tributaries and river system eventually resulting in sand deposition on the floodplain, increased overbank flooding, a rise i...

Introduction: The geology of Terby Crater (28S, 287W), located on the northern rim of Hellas impact basin on Mars, is documented through geomorphic and stratigraphic analyses using all currently released visible and thermal infrared image data and topographic information. This large (D=164km), Noachian-aged [1] crater has a suite of geomorphic units [2] and landforms including massive troughs a...

Article history: Received 9 March 2017 Received in revised form 11 September 2017 Accepted 11 September 2017 Available online xxxx Ecology and geomorphology recognize the dynamic aspects of resistance and resilience. However, formal resilience theory in ecology has tended to deemphasize the geomorphic habitat template. Conversely, landscape sensitivity and state-and-transition models in geomorp...

Marine reserves are becoming progressively more important as anthropogenic impacts continue to increase, but we have little baseline information for most marine environments. In this study, we focus on the Oceanic Shoals Commonwealth Marine Reserve (CMR) in northern Australia, particularly the carbonate banks and terraces of the Sahul Shelf and Van Diemen Rise which have been designated a Key E...

knowledge about spatial soil variation in terms of measured pedodiversity offers the possibility to estimate the quality and variance within a soil map. diversity indices and abundance distribution models are statistical tools which ecologists have applied for decades for analyzing the intrinsic regularities of various ecological entities. in this study relationships between soils evolution, la...

We examined the distribution of ground-flora species (herbaceous and woody species <1 m tall) across riparian areas of northeastern Wisconsin in an effort to understand how hierarchical landscape properties, such as the physiographic system (ground moraine and outwash plain), valley system (constrained and unconstrained), and valley floor landforms influence distribution patterns of ground-flor...

Acknowledgments T he Nearshore Science Team (NST) of the Puget Sound Nearshore Project recognized in early discussions the need for a geomorphic framework to guide shoreline restoration planning. These individuals clarified the rationale and the purpose for this document and provided valuable comments on early drafts of the report. This project also benefitted greatly from the input of Washingt...
