Geographic Information System and Geoportal "River basins of the European Russia" [PDF]
The geoinformation system (GIS) and Geoportal with open access "River basins of the European part of Russia" were introduced. The GIS includes the results of spatial analysis and modeling, in particular, the assessment of anthropogenic impact on river ...

Wood jam mobility in a morphologically active river in northern Chilean Patagonia
This study examined post‐eruption wood jam mobility and channel changes in the Blanco River. Floodplain collapses led to large sediment yields. High wood jam mobility rates were reported. Larger, less compact wood jams persist in stable areas; new and missing jams are smaller and linked to deposition and erosion, respectively.

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 ...

Assessing Glacial Modification of Bedrock Valleys in the Sierra Nevada, California, Using a Novel Approach [PDF]
This study employed a semi-automated approach to evaluate the degree of glacial modification of bedrock valleys in the Sierra Nevada, California, by quantifying morphological variability in cross-sectional form assessed from ~27,000 locations throughout ...

Geomorphometry - diversity in quantitative surface analysis
A widening variety of applications is diversifying geomorphometry ( digital terrain modelling), the quantitative study of topography. An amalgam of earth science, mathematics, engineering and computer science, the discipline has been revolutionized by the computer manipulation of gridded terrain heights, or digital elevation models (DEMs).

Morphology of Barchan Dunes on Earth and Mars: Classification and Scale‐Invariance
Abstract Morphological characteristics were measured for barchan dunes on Earth (2,686 dunes in 30 barchan fields) and Mars (720 dunes in 10 barchan fields) using satellite images. The data were used to (a) develop a new barchan classification system; (b) compare characteristics of barchans on Earth and Mars; and (c) assess whether barchans, in bulk ...
