Relative tectonic activity assessment of the Northern Sumatran Fault using geomorphic indices
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Geomorphic indices have widely been applied to assess relative tectonic activity. The relative tectonic activity is mainly associated with relative uplift and long-term tectonic deformation.

Geomorphic indexing of landslide dams evolution
Engineering Geology, 2016 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.

Remote Sensing, 2023 Rockfall presents a significant risk to the safety and economy of communities and infrastructure in mountainous regions. The recently-developed Rockfall Activity Index (RAI) utilizes high-resolution terrestrial lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) of rock slopes to categorize a slope face into seven distinct morphological units, or “RAI ...

Spectral roughness of glaciated bedrock geomorphic surfaces: Implications for glacier sliding [PDF]
, 2000 A microroughness meter (MRM) was used to measure the high-frequency roughness of a number of geomorphic surfaces in the forefield of Glacier de Tsanfleuron, Switzerland.

Geomorphic response to neotectonic activity in the Jura Mountains and in the southern Upper Rhine Graben [PDF]
, 2008 Present-day tectonic activity at the southern end of the Upper Rhine Graben in central Western Europe is evidenced by significant seismicity, which has been documented over hundreds of years.

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022 Inundation mapping is a critical task for damage assessment, emergency management, and prioritizing relief efforts during a flooding event. Remote sensing has been an effective tool for interpreting and analyzing water bodies and detecting floods over the past decades.

Distribution, diversity, and geomorphic evolution of floodplain wetlands and wetland complexes in the Ganga plains of north Bihar, India [PDF]
, 2020 Floodplain wetlands are important features in alluvial settings across the world because of their ecological and hydrological significance. Understanding the geomorphic evolution of such wetlands is therefore not only interesting from an academic ...

Let the river erode! Enabling lateral migration increases geomorphic unit diversity [PDF]
, 2020 River restoration practice frequently employs conservative designs that create and maintain prescribed, static morphology. Such approaches ignore an emerging understanding of resilient river systems that typically adjust their morphology in response to ...
