Subtle relict channels associated with large dolines in an area formerly beneath the Laurentide Ice Sheet, northern Ohio, USA

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Low‐relief dry channels appear out of place across a glaciated karst landscape in northern Ohio. Channels are only a few metres deep cut into limestone and draped with a veneer of till. Several hypotheses are proposed for explaining the channels. Low‐relief dry channels are observed across the Bellevue‐Castalia Karst Plain of north‐central Ohio, USA ...

Shoreline and deglaciation chronology in southeast Norway

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The postglacial relative sea level history is reconstructed in four areas of mid‐ and inner Oslofjorden in southeast Norway. The reconstructions are based on radiocarbon‐dated raised shoreline levels from 42 sites, mainly isolation basins, and limiting ages from four lakes above the marine limit.

Modelling soil erosion and transport in the Burrishoole catchment, Newport, Co. Mayo, Ireland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The Burrishoole catchment is situated in County Mayo, on the northwest coast of the Republic of Ireland. Much of the catchment is covered by blanket peat that, in many areas, has become heavily eroded in recent years. This is thought to be due, primarily,

Morphology and sedimentology of murtooized terrain on the southern Fraser Plateau, British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Recent public releases of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data in south central British Columbia (BC), Canada have revealed several landforms resembling ‘murtoos’, previously identified across portions of Scandinavia. In this study, we investigate the morphology and sedimentology of these landforms, the first report of their kind associated with ...

Terrain descriptors for landscape synthesis, analysis and simulation

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Synthetic landscape generation is an active research area within Computer Graphics. Algorithms for terrain synthesis and ecosystem simulations often rely on simple descriptors such as slope, light accessibility, and drainage area. Typically, the results are assessed from a perceptual standpoint, focusing primarily on visual plausibility. Other

One application of mega-geomorphology in education [PDF]

open access: yes
One advantage of a synoptic view displaying landform assemblages provided by imagery is that one can often identify geomorphic processes which have shaped the region and which may affect the habitability of the area over a human life time.

Establishing new grid‐size‐dependent attributes to rank areas of endemism for conservation priorities

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Delineating Areas of Endemism (AEs) is crucial for identifying priority areas for biodiversity conservation in a spatial planning framework. Endemicity Analysis in the NDM/VNDM software is one of the primary methodologies for its delineation.

Expansion of fluvial transport of commodities through the Pantanal floodplains of Brazil: Potential impacts and interference by climate change

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Inland waterways have historically been viewed as a desirable means for transporting commodities. However, creating and maintaining navigable river channels can entail substantial geomorphological modifications, resulting in changes to the ecohydrology of a river and its adjacent floodplains.
