Abstract A total of 393 potholes (368 fluvial and 25 marine potholes) were studied at seven different sites in both the fluvial and marine environments. Diverse bedrock properties and large‐scale delivery of tools and grinders regulate the dynamic growth, truncation, and amalgamation of potholes. Therefore, the principal objectives of the study are (i)

Geomorphosite assessment in Montesinho Natural Park (Portugal) [PDF]
The Montesinho Natural Park (MNP), with an area of about 750 km2, is one of the largest protected areas in Portugal. Since its inauguration as a natural park in 1979, geological and geomorphological aspects have not been taken into consideration in its ...

Abstract This note suggests that decimal latitude/longitude [dLL] locations should be used to identify features of interest, landforms, sample and investigations sites, in an ‘information landscape’ provided by the geomorphological literature. All the information associated with a labelled, or tagged, geolocation should be available for examination as ...

Gullies and badlands of India: Genesis, geomorphology and land management
Studies on gully formation (red dots on map), badlands genesis (blue dots), gully and badlands mapping (aquamarine dots), their geomorphology (yellow dots), effects (green dots) and gully/badlands management (white dots) in India are discussed. While gully formation has largely been anthropogenically induced in India, her badlands have formed naturally

Geomorphosite assessment for geotourism purposes [PDF]
Abstract The article briefly examines the relationship between geodiversity, geoheritage (represented by geosites and geomorphosites) and geotourism. It is obvious that geosites and geomorphosites represent a fundamental resource for geotourism. As geosites are defined as sites that present particular importance for the comprehension of the Earth ...

Evaluation the Role of Geomorphologic processes in the Formation of geomorphosites of Manesht, Bankol and Qelarang protected areas using Perira method [PDF]
In this research, the geomorphosites of the protected area of Manhest, Bangkok and Qelarang were studied using the Perira method. In this method, the geomorphologic value of geomorphosites was identified using scientific and additional values. Management

Une sélection de géomorphosites dans l'île de La Réunion en fonction de critères morphodynamiques
The relief of Reunion Island is typical of tropical oceanic islands due to the volcanic phenomena responsible for its construction and climatic conditions, which generate particularly powerful erosion processes.

FLUVIAL GEOMORPHOSITES – INTERDISCIPLINARY AND APPLIED APPROACH
The term fluvial geomorphosites refers to the sites that result from the river bed dynamics and they are investigated by hydrogeomorphologic methods. The rocks and their evolution stage reflect and influence the duration of fluvial geomorphosites.
