Morphotectonics of the Mascarene Islands
A study is made of the orientations (strikes/trends) of joints, valleys, ridges and lineaments, i.e. of the (potentially) morphotectonic features, of the Mascarene Islands (Reunion, Mauritius and Rodrigues) in the Indian Ocean.

Slow Geodynamics and Fast Morphotectonics in the Far East Tethys [PDF]
How can the sluggish, long‐wavelength mantle convection be expressed by so many time and space scales of morphotectonic activity? To investigate these relationships, we explore the Java‐Banda subduction zone, where geodynamic records cluster.

Significant advances have been made in the fields of tectono‐geomorphology and neotectonics in recent years. The development of satellite geodesy and improvements in geophysical tools for dating Quaternary materials combined with the widespread availability of high‐resolution digital topography have improved our ability to resolve the impacts of active

The Active Morphotectonics Quantitative Assessment on the slopes of Alvand [PDF]
Neo-tectonic has a very important role in the morphological evolution of each drainage basin. The tectonic history can be retrieved by morphotectonics quantitative indicators in each region.

The river Dniester valley: a long record of late-Cenozoic fluvial evolution within the Eastern Carpathian foreland and East European Platform margin. [PDF]
The Dniester valley is a spectacular example of a degrading bedrock fluvial system at the contact between the East European platform and the Carpathian orogen. This study is based upon a combined lithofacies–architecture–morphological study.

Morphotectonics and resultant features in Kaliani River Basin (Assam) / Ação Morfotectonica e Paisagens Resultantes na Bacia Hidrográfica de Kaliani (Assam) [PDF]
The surficial structure and impressions upon the crust due to endogenetic and exogenetic mechanisms are witnessed all around us. These landforms have evolved as a result of plate movements, subsidence, upliftment and various erosional processes.

Data on morphotectonic indices of Dashtekhak district, Iran. [PDF]
Morphotectonic indices by representing the longer period of time than recorded earthquake data, are useful in evaluating the tectonic activity of a region. Dashtkhak area is located in Kerman province of Iran, where one of the most active faults, Kouhbanan strike slip fault, passes through.

Morphotectonics of the Pescara River basin (Central Italy)
This work presents a morphotectonic map of the Pescara River basin (1:40,000 scale), located in the piedmont-hilly area of the central-eastern Apennines (Abruzzo Region, Italy), and stretching from the eastern slope of the chain (Maiella Massif, Morrone ...
