GIS-based landform classification of Bronze Age archaeological sites on Crete Island
PLoS ONE, 2017 Various physical attributes of the Earth’s surface are factors that influence local topography and indirectly influence human behaviour in terms of habitation locations.

Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Late Caddo Titus Phase Ceramics from the McKay Site (41TT730), Titus County, Texas [PDF]
, 2017 The McKay site (41TT730) is a multi-component site on an upland landform about 100 m east of Hart Creek, a southward-flowing tributary of Big Cypress Creek. During house construction in 1990, archaeological deposits covering about 5 acres of the landform

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With northern regions warming at twice the global rate, assessing the state of archaeological sites in these areas is critically important. In this study, we used a multimethod geophysical approach (ERT, GPR, and EMI) to characterize the current geocryological conditions of an Inuit archaeological site on South Aulatsivik Island (Labrador ...

Surface Roughness in Geomorphometry: From Basic Metrics Toward a Coherent Framework
Remote SensingSurface roughness (SR), most often computed from a digital elevation model (DEM), is a fundamental concept in geomorphometry, with significant applications across the earth sciences and ecology. However, its analysis remains fragmented, lacking a unified

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.

TOPOGRAPHIC POSITION INDEX BASED LANDFORM ANALYSIS OF MESSARIA (IKARIA ISLAND, GREECE)
, 2017 This paper aims to classify and analyze landforms in the broader area of Messaria region of Ikaria Island, Greece using GIS techniques. Landform categories were determined by implementing Topographic Position Index (TPI).

Map Room Conversations: Mapping Objects
Area, EarlyView.Short Abstract This article presents reflections on a ‘Map Room Conversation’ session entitled ‘Mapping Objects’ at the RGS International Conference, 2024. The session considered the three dimensional aspects of map‐making, both the objects and methods involved with producing maps, and the construction of maps in three dimensions in the form of relief ...

Early Holocene jökulhlaup chronology and deglaciation dynamics in central Iceland
Boreas, EarlyView.Glacial lake outburst floods (jökulhlaups) have occurred throughout the Quaternary in glaciated regions worldwide. Reconstructing flood chronology yields insight into deglaciation processes, environmental change and the role of extreme events in landscape evolution.
