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.

Landslide inventory validation and susceptibility mapping in the Gerecse Hills, Hungary

open access: yesGeo-spatial Information Science, 2021
Landslides pose a threat to property both in the populated and cultivated areas of the Gerecse Hills (Hungary). The currently available landslide inventory database holds the records from many sites in the area, but the database is out-of-date.

UAV Imaging of a Martian Brine Analogue Environment in a Fluvio-Aeolian Setting

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Understanding extraterrestrial environments and landforms through remote sensing and terrestrial analogy has gained momentum in recent years due to advances in remote sensing platforms, sensors, and computing efficiency.

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.

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.
