Sea Beam Survey of an Active Strike-Slip Fault: The San Clemente Fault in the California Continental Borderland [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
The San Clemente fault, located in the California Continental Borderland, is an active, northwest trending, right-lateral, wrench fault. Sea Beam data are used to map the major tectonic landforms associated with active submarine faulting in detail ...

Landform values for rural sustainability: Recognition and assessment in a Spanish–Portuguese border region case study

open access: yesMoravian Geographical Reports, 2017
Landform assemblages may be used to define sites of geomorphological interest which are resources for rural sustainability. This paper focuses on the valuation and significance of such sites in the context of one European internal border region ...

3D Landform Modeling to Enhance Geospatial Thinking

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2019
Geospatial thinking is essential to the visualization⁻interpretation processes of three-dimensional geographic information. The design of strategies for the interpretation of the Earth’s surface which allow the development of students’ ...

Geomorphological control on boulder transport and coastal erosion before, during and after an extreme extra-tropical cyclone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Extreme wave events in coastal zones are principal drivers of geomorphic change. Evidence of boulder entrainment and erosional impact during storms is increasing.

Small-scale opencast mining: an important research field for anthropogenic geomorphology

open access: yesDIE ERDE: Journal of the Geographical Society of Berlin, 2015
Artisanal and small-scale mining (A&SM) is a growing economic sector in many third-world countries. This review focuses on anthropo-geomorphic factors and processes associated with small-scale opencast mining (SSOM), a form of A&SM in which near-surface ...

Cumulative impacts of a gravel road and climate change in an ice-wedge-polygon landscape, Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

open access: yesArctic Science, 2022
Environmental impact assessments for new Arctic infrastructure do not adequately consider the likely long-term cumulative effects of climate change and infrastructure to landforms and vegetation in areas with ice-rich permafrost, due in part to lack of ...

Pre-late Devensian high-arctic marine deposits in SW Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present new interpretations of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and marine fossils collected from three sites on the Rhins of Galloway which, contrary to recent proposals, suggest that the landforms and deposits of the region do not represent ...

Snow cover as a morphogenic agent determining ground climate, landforms and runoff in the Valdecebollas massif, Cantabrian Mountains

open access: yesCuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2020
Snowfalls are important meteorological events affecting the physical environment of the Cantabrian Mountains. This work analyzes the effects of snow on several elements such as relief, landforms, ground climate and snowmelt waters.

Survival of Casuarina cunninghamiana on a recovering sand-bed stream in the Wollombi Valley of coastal New South Wales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The successful management and restoration of riparian corridors in Australia is currently hindered by our poor understanding of the links between hydrology, fluvial geomorphology and plant population dynamics.

Seamounts and related topographic highs – automated mapping in support of sustainable ocean management, Norway

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Seamounts are a prime example of an ecologically relevant marine landform. They are internationally recognized by the OSPAR commission as a threatened and/or declining habitat yet estimates of their distribution in Norwegian waters are not adequately ...
