The first openly accessible 2 m‐resolution lidar‐based DTM and an extensive set of land‐surface parameters (LSPs) for the region of São Sebastião and Ilhabela, southeastern Brazil, reveal geomorphological features previously indiscernible, including past landslide deposits, drainage captures and structural lineaments.

Geographic Variation of Cirques on Iceland: Factors Influencing Cirque Morphology
Cirques are one of the most common glacial landforms in alpine settings. They also provide important paleoclimate information (e.g. Meierding 1984; Evans 2006). The purpose of this study is to fill in gaps in the climate record of Iceland by conducting a

Inventory of Landslides Triggered by Heavy Rainfall in Fuling District, Chongqing, China, June 2019
This study established a comprehensive landslide database triggered by a single rainfall event in Fuling District, Chongqing, China, to improve the accuracy of landslide prediction and early warning models. It provides scientific data support for disaster prevention and reduction in the study area.

An ecologic study of peat landforms in Canada and Alaska [PDF]
The role of groundwater and surface runoff in controlling the water chemistry and development of peat landforms in northern Minnesota are described. The LANDSAT imagery taken duing spring break-up are particularly valuable in identifying potential zones ...

The middle Waikato Basin and hills [PDF]
The middle Waikato (or Hamilton) Basin is a roughly oval-shaped depression more than 80 km north to south and more than 40 km wide. The basin, except in the south, is almost completely surrounded by ranges up to 300 m high, broken by only a few gaps.

Discharge Regimes of North American High‐Latitude Rivers
Abstract Regimes of river discharge, characterized by the timing and magnitude of seasonal and stochastic flow variation, are changing in northern rivers due to warming climate. However, spatial heterogeneity in discharge regimes across high‐latitude regions has made it difficult to predict flows under accelerated warming.

Abstract The retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS), a prevalent form of thermokarst hazard in permafrost regions, are increasing in both number and extent under contemporary changing environments. On the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, RTS threaten transportation infrastructure and disrupt ecosystems.

Climate change increases geomorphological disturbances, which in turn affect vegetation establishment in high‐elevation areas; understanding species' responses to such disturbances is essential. We analysed vegetation across disturbed and undisturbed alpine sites to identify environmental drivers and assess species trait plasticity.

Origin and structure of Devensian depressions at Letton, Herefordshire [PDF]
Groups of circular to oval enclosed depressions in soft sediments of Pleistocene age are relatively common in north-west Europe. These features are normally interpreted as being either glacial or periglacial in origin.

Dynamics of Vegetation and Soil in Long‐Term Artificial Sand Control Projects in the Ulan Buh Desert
This study investigates the long‐term synergistic evolution of vegetation and soil in artificial sand‐control projects (using straw checkerboard barriers) in China's Ulan Buh Desert. By analyzing areas with different restoration times (0–15 years), it identifies ~10 years as a critical inflection point where plant communities mature into stable, near ...
