River, EarlyView.Abstract This study was conducted to address the concerns over the changes in river morphology and their implications for sustainable river management. It investigates the morphological dynamics of the Upper Jhelum River between 2018 and 2023, using high‐resolution Sentinel‐2 imagery and advanced geospatial techniques to capture subtle yet significant ...

Remote Sensing, 2023 Based on a digital elevation model (DEM) and GIS technology, we extracted and analyzed stream geomorphic indices—such as the slope, relief degree of the land surface (RDLS), hypsometric integral (HI) and channel steepness index (ksn)—of the Cangshan ...

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 ...

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.

Automated, objective texture segmentation of multibeam echosounder data - Seafloor survey and substrate maps from James Island to Ozette Lake, Washington Outer Coast [PDF]
, 2007 Without knowledge of basic seafloor characteristics, the ability to address any number of critical marine and/or coastal management issues is diminished. For example, management and conservation of essential fish habitat (EFH), a requirement mandated by

Incipient ferralization and weathering indices along a soil chronosequence in Taiwan [PDF]
, 2016 The low hilly topography of Green Island, a volcanic island off southeastern Taiwan, includes an altitudinal sequence of sub-horizontal benches. We examined eight profiles along this sequence, ranging from pale brown loamy coral sand on the lowest bench ...

Relative tectonic activity assessment of the Çameli Basin, Western Anatolia, using geomorphic indices [PDF]
Geodinamica Acta, 2016 Western Anatolia is one of the world’s most seismically active regions. A nearly N–S-oriented extension caused the formation of E–W- and NE–SW-trending major grabens, creating the potential for earthquakes with magnitudes ≥ 5. The fault segments of the NE-trending Cameli Basin were evaluated using geomorphic indices, common tools for assessment of ...

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 ...
