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

Population Dynamics of Northern Pearl Dace Margariscus nachtriebi in Anthropogenically Altered Headwater Streams of the Nebraska Sandhills Ecoregion

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1396-1410, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Empirical evidence of population demographic responses to environmental perturbations is a major knowledge gap for aquatic vertebrate populations. Extensive habitat alteration including channelization of headwater streams influences the habitat template on which small‐bodied fish are dependent to carry out distinct life stages and maintain or ...

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.

SLiX: A GIS Toolbox to Support Along-Stream Knickzones Detection through the Computation and Mapping of the Stream Length-Gradient (SL) Index

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020
The stream length-gradient (SL) index is widely used in geomorphological studies aimed at detecting knickzones, which are extensive along-stream deviations from the typical concave-up shape assumed for stream longitudinal profiles at steady-state ...

Semiautomated classification of units in volcanic terrain based on three morphometric attributes derived from a digital elevation model (DEM)

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
The proposed method better responds to the needs of detailed cartography improving the working scale (local and regional) representation; also roughness attributes facilitate the identification of geomorphological units, and the DEM generation method enhances terrain representation.

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 ...

Uncertainties Related to Scale and Sampling Window Size in Defining Macro Landforms

open access: yesCoğrafya Dergisi, 2023
This study focuses on the statistical significance of sampling window sizes, which are used to define macro landforms and the differences they cause in definitions.

Local variance for multi-scale analysis in geomorphometry. [PDF]

open access: yesGeomorphology (Amst), 2011
Increasing availability of high resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) is leading to a paradigm shift regarding scale issues in geomorphometry, prompting new solutions to cope with multi-scale analysis and detection of characteristic scales.

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...
