Quantitative studies of the morphology of the south Poland using Relief Index (RI)

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2017
The aim of this study was to introduce a new morphometric index named Relief Index (RI). RI is the ratio of the total length of the contour lines and the surface area at which they occur.

Techniques for Classifying Seabed Morphology and Composition on a Subtropical-Temperate Continental Shelf

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
In 2017, the New South Wales (NSW) Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) initiated a state-wide mapping program, SeaBed NSW, which systematically acquires high-resolution (2–5 m cell size) multibeam echosounder (MBES) and marine LiDAR data along

What is the Relationship Between Plant Trait Diversity and Geodiversity? A Plot‐Based, Pan‐European Analysis

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Aim Heterogeneity of the Earth's abiotic surface and subsurface (geodiversity) is increasingly recognised as an important driver of biodiversity. Theoretically, species' traits should match to abiotic conditions in the local environment. Here, we test this for the first time at a continental extent by analysing the relationships between ...

Quality assessment of DEM derived from topographic maps for geomorphometric purposes

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2019
Digital elevation models (DEMs) play a significant role in geomorphological research. For geomorphologists reconstructing landform and drainage structure is frequently as important as elevation accuracy.

Geodiversity as a Driver of Soil Microbial Community Diversity and Adaptation in a Mediterranean Landscape

open access: yesLand
Extreme meteorological events and anthropogenic influences determine important variations in microbial community composition. To know the extent of these variations, it is necessary to delve deeper into the geogenic factors to be considered as a baseline.

Seamounts and related topographic highs – automated mapping in support of sustainable ocean management, Norway

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Seamounts are a prime example of an ecologically relevant marine landform. They are internationally recognized by the OSPAR commission as a threatened and/or declining habitat yet estimates of their distribution in Norwegian waters are not adequately ...

Right-Angle Pattern of Minor Fluvial Networks from the Ionian Terraced Belt, Southern Italy: Passive Structural Control or Foreland Bending?

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
Morphometric analyses of both the topography and drainage network have been carried out in a large sector of the Ionian coastal belt of southern Italy in order to unravel the possible control of Late Quaternary thrust front activity on the evolution of ...

A procedure for delineating a search region in the UAV-based SAR activities

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2017
We propose a simple geometrical approach for delineating a region above which an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) should fly to support the Search and Rescue (SAR) activities.
