Within fluvial systems, the spatial variability of geomorphological characteristics of stream channels and associated streambed properties can affect many biogeochemical processes. In agricultural streams of the midwestern USA, it is not known how geomorphological variability affects sediment denitrification rates, a potentially important loss mechanism for N. Sediment denitrification was measu...

A remarkable finding is that Kerala’s capital Trivandrum has the highest crude (CR) cancer incidence rate (except Aizwal, North East) in India. Aim of this study was to create density map of all cancers together and common cancers by gender in Trivandrum. Cancer registry incidence data from Trivandrum Taluk for the year 2012 and Geographic Information System (GIS) were used. Incidence data was ...

The identification of valley networks and channels is an essential tool for geomorphological interpretations of the fluvial, glacial and volcanic history of Mars. While the creation of valley networks by erosion is an accepted hypothesis, the flow of water as the sole cause has recently been put into question [1]. To investigate the origin of the networks, their detailed properties have to be m...

The Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ) hosts a valuable deposit of polymetallic nodules. Understanding the geology this is key to its effective exploration and future mining. Interpretation satellite derived bathymetry elucidates large scale geomorphological units structural that characterize area. Main Map includes distinct plains, rises, lows abyssal hills, steps trough along parts bounding fractu...

Liguria is a small region in Northwestern Italy which characterized by significant and valuable geoheritage. The 1:250,000 map presented this paper displays the 120 geosites of Liguria, officially approved regional national authorities, framed context geological landscapes region. were obtained categorizing thematizing geological, lithological geomorphological data macro-units with similar char...

Geodiversity is considered as the natural range of geological, geomorphological, and soil features, including their assemblages, relationships, properties, interpretations, and systems. A method developed for the quantitative assessment of geodiversity was applied to Paraná, a Brazilian state with an area of about 200,000 km(2). The method is based on the overlay of a grid over different maps a...
