Geomorphological Analysis Using Unpiloted Aircraft Systems, Structure from Motion, and Deep Learning [PDF]

open access: yes2020 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2019
We present a pipeline for geomorphological analysis that uses structure from motion (SfM) and deep learning on close-range aerial imagery to estimate spatial distributions of rock traits (size, roundness, and orientation) along a tectonic fault scarp.

Geomorphology of Mountainous Deserts [PDF]

open access: yes, 1933
The peculiar land forms of the desert are due largely (1) to the paucity of plant growth, in consequence of which (2) disintegrated rock, produced more by physical than by chemical processes, which (3) vary with rock nature (hence granitic rocks assume ...

How Does Visibility Count? An Open Data‐Driven Approach to Compare the Use of Ground Visibility in Archaeological Field‐Walking Surveys in the Mediterranean Region

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is a common agreement among archaeologists that assessing visibility in the field is essential to measure the accuracy of their observations. Archaeologists widely expect that low visibility negatively impacts the recovery rate of artefacts and sites during field‐walking surveys.

Facies variations in gravelly cyclic steps deposited from turbidity currents: Miocene fan delta front deposits compared with a modern active fan delta, central Japan

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
This paper provides a new facies model of gravelly cyclic steps that includes a facies model of lee side and variations deposited from hyperpycnal and surge‐type high‐density turbidity currents. Abstract Gravelly cyclic steps formed by turbidity currents have recently been widely recognised in the geological record.

Investigation of the Geomorphologic Hazards Hydro-Aoelein of the Northwest World Heritage of Lut Desert (the Nehbandan-Shahdad road) [PDF]

open access: yesمخاطرات محیط طبیعی, 2019
Iran is one of the top 10 countries facing natural hazards in the world. One of the basic approaches is to reduce the above-mentioned hazards, to identify the factors involved in hazard and risk zoning.

Invertebrate distribution patterns and river typology for the implementation of the water framework directive in Martinique, French Lesser Antilles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Over the past decade, Europe's Water Framework Directive provided compelling reasons for developing tools for the biological assessment of freshwater ecosystem health in member States.

Wetlands as environments of early human occupation: A new classification for freshwater palaeowetlands

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
A new classification for inland freshwater palaeowetlands to be used in the field or core laboratory by sedimentologists, providing examples from the Guadix Basin (southern Spain). Abstract Present wetlands have proven to be delicate, biodiverse ecosystems, that are natural sinks for CO2 and act as good indicators for climate changes.

Submarine geomorphology: quantitative methods illustrated with the Hawaiian volcanoes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Submarine geomorphology, like sub-aerial geomorphology, is the study of the Earth's surface in order to better understand tectonic and geomorphic processes. Such processes include volcanism, neo-tectonics (i.e.

South American Great Basin: Limnogeological analysis of the Salina del Bebedero Basin, Argentina (Late Pleistocene‐recent)

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
. The Bebedero tectonic depression in San Luis province, Argentina, is a closed drainage basin that has formed as a result of block‐faulting and rifting processes. The Bebedero lake exhibits notable similarities to the endorheic watersheds of the western United States, particularly those of Death Valley, the Saline Valley and, to a lesser extent, the ...

Site Selection of Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Using AHP Model and GIS Technique (Case Study: Kouhdasht City) [PDF]

open access: yesنشریه جغرافیا و برنامه‌ریزی, 2013
In recent decades, uncontrolled growth of population and urban development have caused various social, economic and environmental conflicts, such as production of municipal solid waste that has followed its inappropriate disposal.  So that, how disposal,
