Using bed-roughness signatures to characterise glacial landform assemblages beneath palaeo-ice sheets

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2022
Palaeo-glacial landforms can give insights into bed roughness that currently cannot be captured underneath contemporary-ice streams. A few studies have measured bed roughness of palaeo-ice streams but the bed roughness of specific landform assemblages ...

The effect of landform variation on vegetation patterning and related sediment dynamics

open access: yes, 2018
Semi‐arid ecosystems are often spatially self‐organized in typical patterns of vegetation bands with high plant cover interspersed with bare soil areas, also known as ‘tiger bush’.

Classification of Karst Fenglin and Fengcong Landform Units Based on Spatial Relations of Terrain Feature Points from DEMs

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
In this paper, a method for extracting Fenglin and Fengcong landform units based on karst topographic feature points is proposed. First, the variable analysis window method is used to extract peaks, nadirs, and saddle points in the karst area based on ...

Controls on carbonate island formation and evolution: South Joulter Cay, Great Bahama Bank

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
The evolution of South Joulter Cay occurs in three stages: linear ridges shaped by waves and longshore currents, arcuate ridges influenced by tidal currents and channels, and cuspate ridges formed by variable wind and wave directions. These processes are driven by climatic and oceanographic factors.

Genesis and reservoir preservation mechanism of 10 000‐m ultradeep dolomite in Chinese craton basin

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Potential exploration target stratum of 10 000‐m ultradeep dolomite in Sichuan Basin and Tarim Basin, China. Abstract The 10 000‐m ultradeep dolomite reservoir holds significant potential as a successor field for future oil and gas exploration in China's marine craton basin.

Geomorphology of glaciated gorges in a granitic massif (Gredos range, central Spain)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2018
A detailed geomorphological map on a 1:10,000 scale is presented for a high mountain area in Gredos range (Iberian Central System). Only few detailed geomorphological maps of the range are available despite the wide diversity of landforms.

Relationship between soil morphology and variability of upland degradation in Bogowonto Watershed, Central Java, Indonesia

open access: yesJournal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2020
Land-use change and lack of conservation in Bogowonto Watershed area have caused land degradation due to erosion and landslides. The rate of land degradation can be measured through the morphological characteristics of the soil and landscape.

Diagnosing ice sheet grounding line stability from landform morphology

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2018
. The resilience of a marine-based ice sheet is strongly governed by the stability of its grounding lines, which are in turn sensitive to ocean-induced melting, calving, and flotation of the ice margin.
