Research progress and prospect of karst geomorphology in China based on digital elevation model
Carsologica Sinica, 2022 Digital elevation model (DEM) contains rich morphological information because the process of digital terrain modeling and extracting a series of terrain parameters based on DEM data with various spatial resolutions, known as Digital Terrain Analysis (DTA)

Ecography, EarlyView.Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs) arise from the interplay of historical, ecological, and evolutionary processes, yet these drivers may differ across landforms. Mountains, with steep elevational and climatic gradients, often sustain distinct diversity dynamics compared with adjacent lowlands, where vertical climatic gradients are weak and human ...

Automated landform classification in a rockfall-prone area, Gunung Kelir, Java [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2014 This paper presents an automated landform classification in a rockfall-prone area. Digital terrain models (DTMs) and a geomorphological inventory of rockfall deposits were the basis of landform classification analysis. Several data layers produced solely

Semi-automated landform classification for hazard mapping of soil liquefaction by earthquake
, 2018 . Soil liquefaction damages were caused by huge earthquake in Japan, and the similar damages are concerned in near future huge earthquake. On the other hand, a preparation of soil liquefaction risk map (soil liquefaction hazard map) is impeded by the ...

Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests
Ecography, EarlyView.Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT During the last glacial period, the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) was the largest terrestrial ice sheet on Earth. Its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum profoundly influenced Earth's geodynamics and surface processes. Investigating the past dynamics of the LIS provides critical insights into how contemporary ice sheets may respond to ...
