This work performs a geomorphological mapping procedure applied to the evolutionary analysis of the landscape, such that it groups different geomorphological units photointerpreted in large geomorphological domains. This allows greater utility and ease of identification and application in the different multidisciplinary studies of environmental geology and the evolution of the landscape. Geomor...

Liechtenstein has faced an increasing number of natural hazards over recent decades: debris flows, slides, snow avalanches and floods repeatedly endanger the local infrastructure. Geomorphological field mapping and geoelectrical profiling was used to assess hazards near Malbun, a village potentially endangered by landslides, and especially debris flows. The area is located on the tectonic conta...

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 study area, paykola anticline, is located in the southwestern part of kermanshah province. the aim of this research is to evaluate the geomorphological indexes of active tectonics in paykola anticline as well as to study the effect of tectonic in the form and direction of geomorphological landforms. to achieve the aim of study, the lithological and tectonic characteristics of study area wer...

of geomorphological investigation. However, the process of this analysis itself is in fact still unclear, even though geomorphologists use it very often. Therefore, a firm concept of geomorphological analysis has been postulated according to a proposal published by Urbánek (2000a, b) and applied to geomorphological research of previously glaciated areas in the Šumava Mts. (the Czech Republic). ...

Definition Geomorphology is the science that studies the origin and development of landforms and how those landforms combine to form landscapes. Landforms are shaped by geomorphological processes, many of which involve the weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition of surface materials (rock, sediment) by gravity, ice, wind, or water. Both erosional and depositional landforms can be id...

Terrain surfaces conserve human activities in terms of textures and structures. The objective of geomorphological filters is to distinguish between anthropogenically undisturbed and disturbed surfaces. Filters applied over high-resolution DTM show a clear anthropogenic character of contour lines and channels. Based on methodology of geomorphometry and geo-statistics a series of analyses functio...

To optimize ecosystem services provided by agricultural drainage networks (ditches) in headwater catchments, we need to manage the spatial distribution of plant species living in these networks. Geomorphological variables have been shown to be important predictors of plant distribution in other ecosystems because they control the water regime, the sediment deposition rates and the sun exposure ...

Periods of exceptional climate change in Earth history are associated with a dynamic response from the geosphere, involving enhanced levels of potentially hazardous geological and geomorphological activity. The response is expressed through the adjustment, modulation or triggering of a broad range of surface and crustal phenomena, including volcanic and seismic activity, submarine and subaerial...
