Visual interpretation of satellite images is a very significant technique to recognize and interpret structural features, which indicate lateral growth folds, the origin dating folds using exposure method. In this study, Landsat 8 (ESSRI) Google Earth are used features at Pira Magroon, Surdash, Azmar anticlines in Sulaimaniyah vicinity, Kurdistan Region, north Iraq. The mentioned outstanding ge...

Geomorphic mapping of Egypt’s Western Desert from LANDSAT-MSS images reveals oriented aeolian landforms that record, in part, Holocene winds. Wind directions reconstructed from these landforms indicate the dominance of N–S airflow from 30jN to 20jN, turning clockwise southward to NE–SW, conformable with modern circulation. A second direction appears over western Egypt, W between 30jN and 26jN, ...

Field investigations and interpretations of high-resolution remote sensing images reveal geomorphic features of cumulative offsets and deflections of Holocene streams and gullies along the western 450-km segment of the Kunlun fault which triggered the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kunlun earthquake in the northern Tibetan Plateau. The streams and gullies developed on Holocene alluvial fans are sinistrally displa...

The Kordkanlo Basin, one of the Atrak sub-basins, located in the northeastern of the Ghoochan city, the Khorasan Razavi Province; is situated in Kopet Dagh geologic zone. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the morphotectonic effects on the drainage network of the basin, using morphometric indicators. In this research, morphometric quantitative indicators of hypsometric integral ...

Analyzing the Connectivity Potential of Landscape Geomorphic Systems: A Radar Remote Sensing and GIS Approach, Estufa Canyon, Texas, USA. (August 2005) ElSayed Ali Hermas Ibrahim, B.S., Mansoura University; M.S., Mansoura University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. John R. Giardino Connectivity is considered one of the fundamental aspects that influences the rate of mass movement in the landsca...

Scientists have long assumed that the physical structure and condition of stream and river channels have pervasive effects on biological communities and processes, but specific tests are few. To investigate the influence of the stream-reach geomorphic state on in-stream habitat and aquatic macroinvertebrate communities, we compared measures of habitat conditions and macroinvertebrate community ...

Introduction: Recent results from gamma-ray and neutron spectrometers on Mars Odyssey indicate the presence of a hydrogen-rich layer tens of centimeters thick in the uppermost meter in high latitudes (>60 ̊) on Mars [1]. This hydrogen-rich layer correlates to regions of ice stability [2]. Thus, the subsurface hydrogen is thought to be water ice constituting 35+/15% by weight near the north and s...

Significant advances have been made towards understanding the dynamics of geomorphic systems through the development of new concepts. In the last two decades, these developments were partly guided by the change in the scale of geomorphic analysis from local (landform) to regional (landscape) scale and partly due to the emergence of new scientific tools and quantitative models. The process-based...
