Abstract Geomorphology generally aims to describe and investigate the processes that lead to the formation of landscapes, while geochronology is needed to detect their timing and duration. Due to restrictions on exporting geological samples from Egypt, modern geoscientific studies in the Nile Delta lack the possibility of dating the investigated ...

Géomorphologie : géographie globale – géographie totale – associations internationales [PDF]
The great advances that geomorphology has made in recent years make necessary a critical re-examination of the relationships between this science and the field of geography. Is geomorphology truly geographical ?

Spatial variation of grassland canopy affects soil wetting patterns and preferential flow
Spatially heterogeneous canopy and pre‐event soil moisture conditions changed soil‐wetting patterns. Taller grass, together with drier soil, weakens soil moisture response, probably because of uneven water input and dryness induced preferential flow. Abstract Canopies shape net precipitation patterns, which are spatially heterogeneous and control soil ...

Eco-evolution from deep time to contemporary dynamics: the role of timescales and rate modulators [PDF]
Eco-evolutionary dynamics, or eco-evolution for short, are thought to involve rapid demography (ecology) and equally rapid phenotypic changes (evolution) leading to novel, emergent system behaviours. This focus on contemporary dynamics is likely due to accumulating evidence for rapid evolution, from classical laboratory microcosms and natural ...

Quantifying and analyzing rock trait distributions of rocky fault scarps using deep learning approach [PDF]
We apply a deep learning model to segment and identify rock characteristics based on a Structure-from-Motion orthomap and digital elevation model of a rocky fault scarp in the Volcanic Tablelands, eastern California. By post-processing the deep learning results, we build a semantic rock map and analyze rock trait distributions.

The glacial geomorphology of western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
Reconstructing the response of present-day ice sheets to past global climate change is important for constraining and refining the numerical models which forecast future contributions of these ice sheets to sea-level change.

Evaluation of flood hazards areas with fuzzy approach, Case study: Downstream of Neka catchment, Mazandaran province [PDF]
Floods are among the hazards that affect millions of people around the world every year. The northern region of Iran has also faced numerous floods in recent decades and has caused a lot of damage to urban and rural areas.

Deep Learning Eliminates Massive Dust Storms from Images of Tianwen-1 [PDF]
Dust storms may remarkably degrade the imaging quality of Martian orbiters and delay the progress of mapping the global topography and geomorphology. To address this issue, this paper presents an approach that reuses the image dehazing knowledge obtained on Earth to resolve the dust-removal problem on Mars.
