Recent Uplift Characteristics of the Southeast Tibetan Plateau, an Analysis Based on Fluvial Indices [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2023 The southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) is well known for its large strike–slip faults with high slip rates and a high potential for seismic hazards. However, little is known about its thrust faults and associated seismic hazards, even though they can ...

Evaluation of active tectonics using geomorphic indices in a mountainous basin of Iran [PDF]
Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 2020 ABSTRACTThis study aims to evaluate the tectonic activities of the Vark basin, located in the great basin of Dez River in northwestern Iran, using geomorphologic indices combined with the geographical information system technique. Some geomorphic indices were used to achieve this aim.

Geomorphic indices and relative tectonic uplift in the Guerrero sector of the Mexican forearc [PDF]
Geoscience Frontiers, 2017 AbstractTectonically active areas, such as forearc regions, commonly show contrasting relief, differential tectonic uplift, variations in erosion rates, in river incision, and in channel gradient produced by ongoing tectonic deformation. Thus, information on the tectonic activity of a defined area could be derived via landscape analysis.

Geomorphic Indicators of Folds Lateral Growth Using Satellite Images
ARO-THE SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL OF KOYA UNIVERSITY, 2023 Visual interpretation of satellite images is a very significant technique to recognize and interpret structural features, which indicate lateral growth of folds, the origin of folds, and dating of folds using the exposure dating method. In this study, Landsat 8 (ESSRI) and Google Earth images are used to recognize structural features at Pira Magroon ...
