3D seismic imagery of a buried glacitectonic thrust complex in the North Sea and the dimensions of composite ridge systems in glaciated landscapes

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sets of sub‐parallel composite ridges in glaciated landscapes have long been regarded as landforms produced by glacitectonism, the brittle and ductile deformation of sediments at and immediately beyond glacier and ice‐sheet margins resulting from stresses produced by ice.

Three Landscape-Dominating Mountains of the Western Caucasus: Case Studies of Local Heritage and Cultural Inferences

Heritage
Geomorphosite inventory remains an urgent task for many geographical domains where it can facilitate the exploration of geoheritage resources. The present study reports a new and sufficient portion of information from Mountainous Adygeya in southwestern ...

A large ice‐dammed lake in the western Danish North Sea: Deglacial evolution and ice‐margin dynamics

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ice extent in the western Danish North Sea remains unchartered, which impedes our understanding of the last glacial to Holocene transition in the region. Despite increasing interest in the shallow subsurface of the North Sea, there is still a knowledge gap concerning this transition.

Spatiotemporal Variations in Co-Occurrence Patterns of Planktonic Prokaryotic Microorganisms along the Yangtze River

Microorganisms
Bacteria and archaea are foundational life forms on Earth and play crucial roles in the development of our planet’s biological hierarchy. Their interactions influence various aspects of life, including eukaryotic cell biology, molecular biology, and ...

Effects of Composite Reclamation Models of Sea Buckthorn, A Pioneer Species in Semi‐Arid Regions, on Soil Quality and Microbial Communities

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pit coal mining severely degrades soil and ecosystem functions, constraining regional sustainability. Vegetation‐based reclamation has therefore been widely adopted as an effective approach to promote soil recovery and ecosystem restoration.

Towards a Common Framework for the Identification of Landforms on Terrain Models

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
A landform is a physical feature of the terrain with its own recognisable shape. Its definition is often qualitative and inherently vague. Hence, landforms are difficult to formalise in a logical model that can be implemented. We propose for that purpose

Differences in Dust Emission and Near‐Surface Transport Patterns Among Three Surface Substrate Types

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil wind erosion is a major driver of atmospheric dust emissions and land degradation. Many studies have examined dust release from different substrates, but differences in methods and units still limit quantitative understanding of how surface conditions and wind jointly control dust emission and near‐surface transport. A closed‐circuit wind

STUDY OF THE LANDFORMS OF THE IBICUÍ RIVER BASIN WITH USE OF TOPOGRAPHIC POSITION INDEX

Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia, 2018
The Topographic Position Index (TPI) is an algorithm which calculates the difference of the elevation between a central pixel ( and the mean of the elevation of its surroundings () surroundings defined by of a radius determined by the user. The study was

Eroding Confidence in Gully Location Risk Prediction in Mine Pit Rehabilitation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how rehabilitation measures, such as landform shaping, and surface finishes impact gully erosion risk could assist in designing less erosive rehabilitation. In this study we use high resolution digital elevation models of rehabilitated mine pits to explore risk factors for gully formation.
