Identification of deformation variability and active structures using geomorphic markers in the Nahan salient, NW Himalaya, India [PDF]

, 2017
The morphotectonic study was carried out in the Nahan salient, located between the well known Kangra and Dehradun recesses in western Himalaya, India. We used various geomorphic indices namely stream length gradient index (steepness index), Hack profile ...

Modelling Spatial and Temporal Controls on Leaky Wooden Dam Effectiveness for Catchment‐Scale Flood Mitigation in an Upland Catchment

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural Flood Management (NFM) is increasingly adopted as a sustainable strategy for mitigating flood risk. Among these measures, the installation of leaky wooden dams (LWDs) at catchment scale is a widely used intervention aimed at slowing flow and desynchronising runoff peaks between sub‐catchments, thereby reducing flood magnitude.

Stable carbon isotopes as indicators for micro-geomorphic changes in palsa peats [PDF]

, 2011
Abstract. Palsa peats are unique northern ecosystems formed under an arctic climate and characterized by an unique biodiversity and ecology. The stability of the palsas are seriously threatened by climate warming which will change the permafrost dynamic and results in degradation of the mires.

Quaternary Climate Oscillations Shape Genetic Diversity and Spatial Structure of Viola hybanthoides (Violaceae) Endemic to Danxia Landscape

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We adopted ddRAD‐seq and chloroplast genome sequencing to explore the genetic characteristics of the danxia‐endemic species Viola hybanthoides. This species exhibits extremely low within‐population genetic diversity and obvious genetic differentiation, which is mainly driven by habitat fragmentation, restricted gene flow and Quaternary climatic changes.

Crustal Thickness Inversion From Magmatic Geochemistry Reveals Spatiotemporal Evolution and Two‐Stage Uplift of the Iranian Plateau

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Cenozoic topographic growth of the Iranian Plateau, situated at the Arabia‐Eurasia collision front, provides insights into continental collision dynamics. However, the relative contributions of tectonic shortening versus deep mantle processes to crustal thickening remain debated because systematic quantitative constraints on paleo‐crustal ...

MORPHOTECTONIC ANALYSIS APPROACH FOR ACTIVE FAULT IDENTIFICATION OF THE CIKANDANG WATERSHED, SOUTHERN PART OF WEST JAVA, INDONESIA

Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik
This study aims to find possible active faults by analysing the morphotectonic features of the Cikandang Watershed in West Java, Indonesia. Morphometric indices including drainage density (Dd), lineament density (Ld), and bifurcation ratio (Rb) were ...

Estimating Baseline Flow Resistance Parameters for Remote Sensing River Discharge (RSQ) From River Morphology Characteristics

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates that flow resistance in rivers, quantified via calibration of a modified Manning's equation, can inform its estimation from channel hydrometric information available from regional or global datasets for a limited set (N = 14) of rigorously calibrated river reaches in Alaska and with less certainty in a large set (N ...

Substantial Accumulation of Chemically Oxidizable Organic Carbon in Continental Margin Sediments

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The balance between organic carbon (OC) sequestration and oxidation regulates the oceanic carbon cycle, and OC reactivity determines its susceptibility to remineralization or long‐term burial. However, the stability of sedimentary OC on continental margins remains poorly understood.

Relative timing of uplift along the Zagros Mountain Front Flexure (Kurdistan Region of Iraq): Constrained by geomorphic indices and landscape evolution modeling [PDF]

, 2019
The Mountain Front Flexure marks a dominant topographic step in the frontal part of the Zagros Fold–Thrust Belt. It is characterized by numerous active anticlines atop of a basement fault.
