The significance of rock structure, lithology and pre-glacial relief for the shape of intermediate-scale glacial erosional landforms

open access: yes, 2002
The main landforms within the glacially scoured Precambrian rocks of the Swedish west coast are closely connected to the principal structural pattern and have lately been explained as mainly a result of etch processes, probably during the Mesozoic and ...

An holistic approach to mapping the Quaternary geology and reconstructing the last glaciation of West County Mayo, Ireland, using satellite remote sensing and 'conventional' mapping techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
PhDThe Quaternary geology of West County Mayo, Ireland, has appeared in the literature over 30 times since Close's account in 1867. Various glacial reconstructions have been proposed due to i) the complex sedimentology and morphology of the area, ii ...

Using DEM and GIS for evaluation of groundwater resources in relation to landforms in the Maharlou-Bakhtegan watershed, Fars province, Iran

open access: yesJournal of Water and Land Development, 2018
The study of groundwater resources in relation to topography is important. Clearly, in different topography, depth of the water level is different. Therefore, the aim of this study is the determination of the relationship between landform classes with ...

Modalités de l'appropriation patrimoniale des reliefs

open access: yesPhysio-Géo, 2018
Before the selection or the evaluation of geomorphosites, processes, most of the time spontaneous, contribute to a progressive heritage designation of landforms, which means a consideration of landforms, close or distant, as objective part of the ...
