Evidence of Quaternary tectonics along Río Grande valley, southern Malargüe fold and thrust belt, Mendoza, Argentina [PDF]
The Malargüe fold and thrust belt is developed in the Argentinian Andes between 34° and 37° S, through the tectonic inversion of Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic depocenters of the Neuquén Basin, with an uplift history since the Cretaceous.

Geomorphic indexing of landslide dams evolution
AbstractLandslide dams are rather common events in hilly and mountainous areas and they occur when a landslide reaches a valley floor closing the riverbed. If they form a lake basin, unstable landslide dams can have catastrophic consequences when they occur in upstream of populated regions.

Abstract The study deals with the flow alterations and planform adjustments due to the construction and operation of barrages in Yamuna River, India. The flow alterations are quantified using the River Flow Health Index on a 0–1 scale. The planform adjustments are analyzed using satellite-generated geomorphic maps.

Abstract The Geomorphic Flood Index (GFI) model can show flood inundation in a watershed based on flood events. Flood inundation can occur because of the backwater effect in the river channel. The different water levels from the river and tide that occur downstream may temporarily disturb the water depth and flow velocity.

IDENTIFICATION OF GEOMORPHIC SIGNATURES OF NEOTECTONIC ACTIVITY USING DEM IN THE PRECAMBRIAN TERRAIN OF WESTERN GHATS, INDIA [PDF]
To assess the relative tectonic activity classes, five geomorphic indices such as stream-gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (Af), hypsometric integral (Hi), valley floor width – valley height ratio (Vf) and drainage basin shape (Bs) of ...

We studied geomorphic indices related to tectonics along the Borpani River using Cartosat 10 m spatial resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data. A total of 11 geomorphic indices such as transverse topographic symmetry factor (Tt), drainage basin ...
