Geomorphic responses as indicators of paleoclimate and climatic change [PDF]
, 1998 There is little doubt that climate is an important parameter affecting the shape of the Earth`s surface. However absolute observance to the principles of climatic geomorphology leads us away from the study of processes because the analyses passes directly from climate to landscape form.

The application of geomorphic indices in terrain analysis for ground engineering practice [PDF]
Engineering Geology, 2017 Abstract Terrain analysis studies for long linear engineering projects provide critical engineering geological and geomorphological data that inform project design options, route selection and construction methodologies. This paper introduces the use of geomorphic indices alongside methods of aerial photograph interpretation and remote sensing in the

Long‐Term Effects of Low‐Drop Grade Control Structures on Channel Evolution in the Yazoo River Basin
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Channel incision is a widespread problem, especially in river basins that have an extensive history of channel alterations. Because channel incision causes large ecological and economic consequences, the prevention of continued migration of headcuts, defined as a steep change in stream gradient over a short reach, has been the focus of many ...

Evaluating methods for high‐resolution, national‐scale seagrass mapping in Google Earth Engine
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Marine habitat mapping using satellite imagery can provide baseline and monitoring data across large spatial scales and in remote locations globally. This study evaluates how key methodological choices influence the accuracy of open‐source (for non‐commercial use), cloud‐based satellite mapping workflows for seagrass meadows in the Maldives.
