Active Tectonics Assessment Using Geomorphic and Drainage Indices in the Sertengshan, Hetao Basin, China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Geomorphic parameters, which reflect the migration of drainage divide responses, are widely used to assess tectonic activity. There have been several large earthquakes in the history of the Hetao Basin, within which the Sertengshan Piedmont Fault is ...

Applicability of Geomorphic Index for the Potential Slope Instability in the Three River Region, Eastern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Geomorphic indices (e.g., the normalized channel steepness index (Ksn) and the stream length-gradient index (SL)) highlight changes in fluvial shapes and gradients. However, the application of these indices was seldom used to identify potential landslide

Tree rings as ecological indicator of geomorphic activity in geoheritage studies [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2018
Abstract Mountain areas are characterized by geomorphic processes, especially mass wasting and snow avalanches, which may impact the landscape affecting also the biological component, trees included. If sites colonized by trees are characterized by geomorphic features with a high Global and Scientific Value, including Representativeness of ...

Neotectonics Analysis in the Basin of the North West Slopes of Sahand (East Azerbaijan) [PDF]

open access: yesجغرافیا و توسعه, 2017
The evaluation of active tectonics in each region is important. Several faults in the Sahand mountain range provide a suitable basis for studying tectonic activities in the basins of this region.

Geospatial assessment of active tectonics using SRTM DEM-based morphometric approach for Meghalaya, India

open access: yesAll Earth, 2022
Meghalaya, situated over the Shillong Plateau in the northeastern region of India, is considered a seismo-tectonically active region because of the Indian-Eurasian convergence and rising since the Cenozoic era.

Hiroshi Machida −respected tephrochronologist, teacher, leader [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Professor Emeritus Hiroshi Machida (Hiroshi hereafter) is the leading tephrochronologist of his generation in Japan. Perhaps more than any other geoscientist from Japan, Hiroshi carried the insights and advances of tephra studies and their application in

The role of geomorphic zonation in long-term changes in coral-community structure on a Caribbean fringing reef [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
Ecological processes on coral reefs commonly have limited spatial and temporal scales and may not be recorded in their long-term geological history.

Tectonic and Climatic Control on Quaternary Exhumation in the Eastern Pamir Domes, Western China: Insights From Geomorphic Approaches

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Kongur Shan and Muztaghata massifs, bounded by the Kongur Shan extensional system (KES), represent tectonic and topographic anomalies in the eastern Pamir region.

Scale-dependence of lithological control on topography: Bedrock channel geometry and catchment morphometry in western Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We propose that a scale-dependent topographic signature of erodibility arises due to fluvial and glacial erosion acting on different parts of the landscape at different times.
