Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Late‐Holocene evolution of a small Sub‐Arctic glacier, Gljúfurárjökull (Tröllaskagi, northern Iceland)

Boreas, EarlyView.
Gljúfurárjökull, located on the Tröllaskagi Peninsula in northern Iceland, is a small glacier approximately 3.8 km in length. This study analyses the glacier's evolution through a combination of methods including: (i) geomorphological mapping, (ii) Cosmic‐Ray Exposure (CRE) dating, (iii) lichenometry and (iv) palaeoglacier reconstruction (volume ...

Morphotectonic and Morphometric analysis of Vishav Basin left bank Tributary of Jhelum River SW Kashmir Valley India [PDF]

International Journal of Economic and Environment Geology, 2015
Morphotectonics interplays between the landscape development and the tectonics. Usually, the development of many geomorphic features has been related solely to exogenic and nontectonic causes but many of them are developed mainly due to the prevailing ...

Morphology and distribution of lakes under the Laurentide Ice Sheet: implications for ice flow dynamics

Boreas, EarlyView.
This study examines the distribution and morphology of lakes under the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) to investigate relationships with ice flow velocity, bedrock and basal thermal regime. Palaeo‐ice streams and lobes were important components of the LIS, and properties of lakes in those regions are quantified at high resolution.

Spatial variation in landscape evolution of the Xiaojiang Region, SE Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Both tectonism and erosion are presumed to have influenced the landscape evolution of the Xiaojiang Region, SE Tibetan Plateau. However, it remains unclear which of these broad processes has played the dominant role in determining landscape form and ...

Using morphometric and geomorphic indices to assess Western São Francisco Craton neotectonic traces

Geography Department University of Sao Paulo, 2021
Recently, geomorphometric properties of river networks and catchments have been described and applied as an efficient tool in the investigation of the landforms' response to neotectonics. Geometric parameters of the Cotovelo River catchment extracted from an Alos-Palsar digital elevation model were used to compute morphometric and geomorphic indices to

Geomorphic Evidence of Postglacial Terrestrial Environments on Atlantic Canadian Continental Shelves [PDF]

, 2005
Changes in the geography of Atlantic Canada since the last glacial maximum (LGM) are grouped into three phases. The first phase (LGM – ca. 13 ka BP) commences with glaciers at the edge of the continental shelves, and ends with the glaciers having ...

Can Flash Flood Risk Index Be an Early Warning Signal of Flash Floods in Ungauged Basin?

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flash flooding is amongst the most severe natural hazards, causing widespread socioeconomic impacts across both wet regions and drylands. In ungauged mountainous basins, effective risk warning based on hydrodynamic modelling is challenging due to sparse hydrological observations and complex terrain.

Neotectonics assessment using geomorphic indices: A study from the passive continental margin of India

Geology, Ecology, and Landscapes
The response of landforms to tectonic deformative processes can be effectively understood by using geomorphic indices. The objective of this study is to evaluate the extent of neotectonic activities in the fourth-order sub-basins of a tropical river ...

Quantifying the slip rates, spatial distribution and evolution of active normal faults from geomorphic analysis: Field examples from an oblique-extensional graben, southern Turkey [PDF]

, 2009
Quantifying the extent to which geomorphic features can be used to extract tectonic signals is a key challenge in the Earth Sciences. Here we analyse the drainage patterns, geomorphic impact, and long profiles of bedrock rivers that drain across and ...
