EXAMINING THE EFFECTS OF URBANIZATION ON STREAMS USING INDICATORS OF GEOMORPHIC STABILITY
Physical Geography, 2000Understanding the response of a watershed to urbanization is important for future land use management and preserving or restoring aquatic habitat. Previous geomorphic studies of urbanization primarily consist of case studies documenting changes in hydrologic response and channel morphology, but offer limited predictive capabilities.

Geomorphic indications of contour map inaccuracy
Cartography, 1967In Volume 6, No. 2, of this journal Jennings (May, 1967) discussed the geomorphologist's use of maps in general. One very interesting example of map use that highlights the relationship between geomorphology and cartography is provided by the “morphometric methods”.

Analytical Estimation of Geomorphic Discharge Indices for Small Intermittent Streams
Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2016AbstractEffective, f-load, and functional-equivalent discharges are metrics that can be used as design flows for stream channel restoration and for eco-hydrologic and geomorphic studies. Previously published analytical estimators of these discharge indices are reviewed and new estimators are derived for gamma, lognormal, mixed gamma, and mixed ...

Tectonics controls on fluvial landscapes and drainage development in the westernmost part of Switzerland: Insights from DEM-derived geomorphic indices [PDF]
This work focuses particularly on the geomorphological evidence for the tectonic controls on the development of the present-day fluvial landscapes in the westernmost part of Switzerland.

Caesium‐137 as an indicator of geomorphic processes in a drainage basin system
Australian Geographical Studies, 1982Caesium‐137 from fallout from nuclear weapons tests is adsorbed on fine sediments and becomes an effective tracer. It is hypothesised that within a drainage basin, sites undergoing little or no erosion accumulate 137 Cs in their upper layers; cultivated soils will have 137 Cs uniformly distributed within the ...

Geomorphic indicators of Holocene winds in Egypt's Western Desert
Geomorphology, 2003Abstract Geomorphic mapping of Egypt's Western Desert from LANDSAT-MSS images reveals oriented aeolian landforms that record, in part, Holocene winds. Wind directions reconstructed from these landforms indicate the dominance of N–S airflow from 30°N to 20°N, turning clockwise southward to NE–SW, conformable with modern circulation. A second direction

River reorganization based on geomorphic indices in the Huashan Mountains, central China
2022<p>In many mountainous regions on Earth, strong spatial variations in uplift with a fault-bounded transition from uplift to subsidence drive the coevolution of high mountain topography and adjacent low-lying basins. In this study, we investigate which topographic patterns are characteristic for such a geodynamic setting where actively ...

Landsat image derived geomorphic indicator of groundwater in parts of central india
Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing, 1982It is a well established fact that geomorphology of an area exercises a significant control on the groundwater occurrence and movement. In an operational remote sensing project carried out by the National Remote Sensing Agency, India, this relationship between geomorphology and groundwater, coupled with the ability of Landsat data to provide regional ...
