The rapid development of remote sensing technology for obtaining high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) in recent years has made them more and widely available allowed to be used morphometric assessment concave landforms, such as valleys, gullies, glacial cirques, sinkholes, craters, others. aim this study was develop a geographic information systems (GIS) toolbox the automatic extract...

Great interest has recently been focused on dating and interpreting alluvial-fan surfaces. As a complement to the radiometric methods often used for surface-exposure dating, this paper illustrates a rapid method for correlating and dating fan surfaces using the cross-sectional shape of gullies incised into fan surfaces. The method applies a linear hillslope-diffusion model to invert for the dif...

Since the end of 20th century, use geographic information systems and digital elevation models has reduced time required for improved quality morphometric analysis relief within river basins. However, researchers are constantly faced with problem choosing most accurate suitable terrain model their task. Many global, regional, local available. In this study, we comparatively analyzed accuracy AS...

Introduction: Martian gullies are defined by [1] to be slope features comprised of an upslope alcove, a midslope channel, and a downslope depositional fan. Due to their relative youth and similarities to waterrelated features on Earth, the Martian gullies have attracted much attention since their discovery by the Mars Orbiter Camera [1]. Many erosional agents for the gullies have been proposed ...

Terrestrial close range digital photogrammetric methods were used to obtain three-dimensional data on erosion gullies associated with waste rock dumps at Newmont Australia’s Jundee gold mining operations. Digital stereo pairs of photographs were taken at each site and three-dimensional images produced using the CSIRO software package SIRO3D. Difficulties associated with producing accurate three...

Debris flows in the Wudongde dam area, China could pose a huge threat to the running of the power station. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out a susceptibility analysis for this area. This paper presents an application of the rock engineering system and fuzzy C-means algorithm (RES_FCM) for debris flow susceptibility assessment. The watershed of the Jinsha River close to the Wud...

understanding the development of gully volumes requires the empirical relations between gully volume (v) and length (l) to be established in the field. so far, such v–l relations have been proposed for a limited number of gullies/environments and were especially developed for ephemeral gullies.in this study, v–l relations were established for ephemeral gullies in southern ilam. in order to take...
