A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

Geomorphic features and tectonic responses in the Upper Yalong River basin

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  The Upper Yalong River basin, situated on the southeastern margin of the Bayan Har block, is characterized by a well-developed river system. Large-scale NW-trending active faults traverse this drainage basin, where tectonic activity constrains

Assessment of the Tectonic Activity in Northwestern Part of the Zagros Mountains, Northeastern Iraq by Using Geomorphic Indices [PDF]

, 2019
The Tectonic Activity of regions with active tectonics can be assessed by using of the geomorphic indices. Six Geomorphic indices including stream-gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (Af), drainage basin shape (Bs), hypsometric integral (Hi ...

Creation of a Landslide Susceptibility Map Using Short‐Term Data From the July 2018 Heavy Rainfall in Southern Hiroshima Prefecture

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

DEM-Based Analysis of Interactions between Tectonics and Landscapes in the Ore Mountains and Eger Rift (East Germany and NW Czech Republic)

Remote Sensing, 2014
Tectonics modify the base-level of rivers and result in the progressive erosion of landscapes. We propose here a new method to classify landscapes according to their erosional stages.

Application of geomorphic indices of recent active tectonics in the Betic foreland [PDF]

, 1999
The application of some geomorphic indices of recent active tectonics in the Meseta Inferior of the Iberian Peninsula has proportioned some interesting insights about of the interdependence between the neotectonic deformation and its geomorphic ...

Geomorphic expressions of collisional tectonics in the Qilian Shan, north eastern Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

, 2020
The Qilian Shan, north eastern Tibetan Plateau, is an area of active deformation caused by convergence in the India-Eurasia collision zone. Geomorphic indices capture the landscape response to competition between tectonics and climate, reflecting the ...

Decoupling glacier retreat and surface stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (Slovenia), insights from in situ cosmogenic 36Cl exposure and depth‐profile ages

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glaciokarst landscapes pose distinctive challenges for cosmogenic dating because meltwater and runoff can be rapidly rerouted into ponors and conduit networks, weakening glacier–river coupling and promoting local sediment storage. We reconstruct glacier retreat and postglacial stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (SW Slovenia) using in situ ...

Distribution of neotectonic variability between the Kachchh Mainland Fault and Vigodi Fault, Northwestern Mainland Kachchh, Western India

Quaternary Science Advances, 2022
As per the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the Kachchh region of the western peninsular India falls under seismically active region, where the faults experienced existence of several moderate to high magnitude earthquakes in the historic past.

Determination of relative tectonic activity of the Honaz fault (SW Turkey) using geomorphic indices [PDF]

, 2018
In this study, in order to determine relative tectonic activity of the Honaz Fault, geomorphic indices such as triangular facets, drainage basin asymmetry (AF), hypsometric integral (HI), drainage basin shape (Bs), ratio of valley-floor width to valley ...
