Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.

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 ...

Classification of seabed landforms on continental and island shelves

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The increasing availability and quality of high-resolution bathymetry data has led to a growing need for automated classification approaches to extract seabed features and better understand our ever-changing and complex seascapes.

Automated Feature Extraction and Classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets in the Puck Lagoon via Multisensor Remote Sensing

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 397-421, April/June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a strong framework for the detection and classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets (SCHA) in shallow marine environments using the integration of multibeam echosounder and airborne LiDAR bathymetry with object‐based image analysis and fuzzy logic–based classification.

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 ...

Improved Automatic Classification of Litho-Geomorphological Units by Using Raster Image Blending, Vipava Valley (SW Slovenia)

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Automatic landslide classification based on digital elevation models has become a powerful complementary tool to field mapping. Many studies focus on the automatic classification of landslides’ geomorphological features, such as their steep main scarps ...

An Automatic Procedure for the Quantitative Characterization of Submarine Bedforms

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
A model for the extraction and quantitative characterization of submarine landforms from high-resolution digital bathymetry is presented. The procedure is fully automated and comprises two parts.

An evaluation of the General Bathymetric Chart of the Ocean in shoreline-crossing geomorphometric investigations of volcanic islands

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Digital elevation models (DEMs) are crucial in natural hazard assessments, as they often present the only comprehensive information. While satellites deliver remote sensing information of the land surface of up to 2m resolution, only 25% of the seafloor ...

Asymmetric Changes in the Cooling Capacity of China's Lakes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Lakes significantly influence local climate, yet a systematic assessment of their cooling effect across diverse regions remains limited. This study develops a multi‐metric (spatial extent, magnitude, and efficiency) framework to evaluate the spatiotemporal patterns of Lake Cooling Capacity (LCC) for 265 major Chinese lakes from 1980 to 2022 ...

TOWARD GEOMORPHOMETRIC MODELING ON A SURFACE OF A TRIAXIAL ELLIPSOID (FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM)

open access: yesInterCarto. InterGIS, 2017
Geomorphometric modeling is widely used to study multiscale problems of the Earth and planetary sciences. Existing algorithms of geomorphometry can be applied to terrain models given by plane square grids or spheroidal equal angular grids on a surface of
