The geomorphology of the Anthropocene: emergence, status and implications
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2017 The Anthropocene is proposed as a new interval of geological time in which human influence on Earth and its geological record dominates over natural processes. A major challenge in demarcating the Anthropocene is that the balance between human‐influenced

Framing resilience for river geomorphology: Reinventing the wheel?
River Research and Applications, 2019 Resilience is a well‐used term in many disciplines, but inconsistently or little applied in river geomorphology and river science. Recent developments in ecosystem ecology conceptualize resilience as comprising system resistance to, and recovery from ...

, 1972 Igneous rocks of basic character dominate the Central Plateau. A great dolerite sheet of Jurassic caps the Plateau and forms its resistant surface. Later, sporadic basalt lavas of Tertiary age fill old drainage depressions cut in the Plateau.

Geomorphology under ice streams: Moving from form to process
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2018 Ice streams are integral components of an ice sheet's mass balance and directly impact on sea level. Their flow is governed by processes at the ice‐bed interface which create landforms that, in turn, modulate ice stream dynamics through their influence ...

Advancing debris flow hazard and risk assessments using debris flow modeling and radar derived rainfall intensity data [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Debris flow hazard and risk assessments are critical tools in mitigating and planning for these events. Existing debris flow hazard assessments can provide a rapid view of the likelihood of debris flows in recently burned watersheds and along stream ...

What does landslide triggering rainfall mean? [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Landslide-triggering rainfall thresholds are often subject to both false negatives (landslides where none are expected) and false positives (no landslides despite thresholds being exceeded).

Debris Flow Hazard Mapping Along Linear Infrastructure: An Agent Based Model and GIS Approach [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Often linear infrastructure, including rail, highways, and pipelines, span large geographic areas intersecting a variety of terrain, predisposing infrastructure to a higher likelihood of geohazard interaction.

Monitoring Coastline Changes of the SE Caspian Sea Coasts, 1977 to 2017 [PDF]
مخاطرات محیط طبیعی, 2021 The coastline is one of the most rapidly changing landforms of coastal areas. It changes constantly because of the rising sea level due to natural conditions and the influence of human activities.

Evaluation of flood potential under basins based on morphometric parameters and correlation test (Case: Zab catchment to Mirabad) [PDF]
نشریه جغرافیا و برنامهریزی, 2022 IntroductionThe concept of morphometry involves the measurement and numerical analysis of land surface, shape, dimensions and form of land. In relation to flooding, watershed morphometry includes quantitative indicators describing watershed physical ...
