in recent years, the occurrence of water and wind erosion indifferent parts of country due to the changes of land use from the forest andpasture into the agricultural and also construction of communication lineshave increased. the study and research on this phenomenon, the effectivefactors in creating them and also identification of geomorphology faciestypes are necessary to prevent the waste o...

The existing literature on resulting reservoir geomorphology after hydraulic reservoir flushings has been systematically examined and evaluated. The emphasis has been put on cross-sectional and longitudinal variations in geomorphology due to flushing, but also the available literature on physical models and analytical modeling and a short section on depositional processes are included as well.

River restoration design requires the application of fluvial geomorphic concepts, and should be expected to apply the techniques concurrent with contemporary thinking and research. Through a brief review of the history of geomorphology over the past century, striking parallels between geomorphic research and river restoration practice become apparent. Namely, restoration design has been, to dat...

the development of a surface water evaluation index is a critical factor in the assessment, restoration and protection of stream water quality. quantifying water pollution in specific grade using dominant parameters is important, as this can explain the current state of water pollution with accuracy. as a result, an integrated multi-parameter water quality index has been developed. it is based ...

abstract geomorphology and soil genesis and its development are closely related. besides, soil-landscape studies provide a better understanding of soil forming processes. the objectives of the present research include soil genesis studies, micromorphology and clay mineralogy of soils related to geomorphic surfaces in jiroft area. soil temperature and moisture regimes of the area are hyperthermi...

This paper provides a brief review of airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data for characterizing linear and planar geomorphic markers in tectonic geomorphology, including traces of active faults and surface deformation caused by earthquakes. Challenges and opportunities of LiDAR for the study of tectonic geomorphology and coseismic deformation are also discussed.
