Classification of seabed landforms on continental and island shelves

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The increasing availability and quality of high-resolution bathymetry data has led to a growing need for automated classification approaches to extract seabed features and better understand our ever-changing and complex seascapes. Here we present a new set of GIS tools designed to classify seabed landforms on continental and island shelf settings.

A Conceptual Model for Delineating Land Management Units (LMUs) Using Geographical Object-Based Image Analysis

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
Land management and planning is crucial for present and future use of land and the sustainability of land resources. Physical, biological and cultural characteristics of land can be used to define Land Management Units (LMUs) that aid in decision making ...

Granite Landscapes, Geodiversity and Geoheritage—Global Context

open access: yesHeritage, 2021
Granite geomorphological sceneries are important components of global geoheritage, but international awareness of their significance seems insufficient. Based on existing literature, ten distinctive types of relief are identified, along with several sub ...

Landform classification based on topographic position Index

open access: yesMongolian Journal of Geography and Geoecology, 2022
Earth surface study or Geomorphology is one of the fundamental physical geographic studies. The ultimate result of the geomorphological study is shown as a map and many geomorphological researchers have been developing their geomorphology-mapping methodology over time.

Classification of cryogenic-landslide landforms for mapping and prediction

open access: yesArctic and Antarctic Research, 2023
A classification of cryogenic-landslide landforms is developed for mapping their distribution and dynamics. It is based on the previously suggested classification subdividing cryogenic landsliding into two main types: cryogenic translational landslides (or active-layer detachment slides), and cryogenic earth flows (or retrogressive thaw slumps).

Constructing Soil–Landscape Units Based on Slope Position and Land Use to Improve Soil Prediction Accuracy

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Topography is one of the dominant factors in regional soil formation and development. Soil distribution has a certain pattern from high to low in space, and this pattern has a high degree of consistency with slope position.
