Geomorphological Evidence of Active Faulting on Alluvial Fan Along Northeastern Margin of Tibetan Plateau (NW China)

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Complete records of fault activity are very valuable for assessing possible earthquakes. Fault scarps are one key to exploring past fault activity. Through the records of fault scarps, we can obtain evidence of fault activity and faulting events in ...

Empirical Scaling Relationships Between Fault Length and Throw‐Rates Modulated by Fault Interactions in Extensional Regimes

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Throw rates of active faults are expected to scale with fault length because the geometric moment of a fault is directly related to its dimensions. However, empirical data sets commonly display substantial scatter, which limits the use of fault scaling relationships for seismic hazard assessment and for understanding the mechanics of ...

Investigation on Reflection of Tectonic Pattern in ASG EUPOS Data in the Sudetes and Adjacent Areas

open access: yesReports on Geodesy and Geoinformatics, 2016
The GNSS data evaluated from on observation of ASG EUPOS stations in the Sudety Mts. and in adjacent areas is analyzed by the author in the scope of disturbances in daily solutions that can be induced by tectonics stress.

Some features of deformation structures in an esker on the southern margin of the Fennoscandian shield [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2018
As a result of melting of the last ice sheet in the southeastern edge of the Fennoscandian shield, ridge structures called eskers were formed. One of these eskers is the subject of our study.

Gully erosion in India: Geo‐environmental controls and region‐specific characteristics

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
Spatial statistical analyses using a novel spatial database of India‧s gully erosion landforms revealed that India has six major gullying‐affected regions, three of which (EU, DU, and KCH) are dominated by gully systems (gully networks), with badlands (vast intensely gullied landscapes) being predominant in the other three regions (YB, GP, and RU ...

Tectonic Interplay in the Gulf of Cagliari (Italy): Extension, Compression and Strike‐Slip Movements

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Since the Oligocene, extensional tectonics of the Sardinia Rift and Campidano Graben interacted with the collision between Sardinia and northern Africa, generating reverse faults. At the Plio‐Quaternary boundary, compressional tectonics resumed, shaping the southern margin of the gulf through transpressional tectonics of the exposed Ichnusa High ...

Geomorphic changes after the 2021 Central European flood in the Ahr Valley by LiDAR-based differences

open access: yesEnvironmental Sciences Europe
Background In July 2021, destructive floods in Western Europe were triggered by enormous precipitation rates related to a low-pressure system named "Bernd." These catastrophic events led not only to major damage to infrastructure, severe economic losses,

Tectonic Deformation Analysis with ALOS-Based Digital Elevation Models in the Longshou Shan Mountains (NW China)

open access: yesGeoHazards
The Longshou Shan area is located on the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau in northwest China. The study area is located where the sinistral Altyn Tagh and Haiyuan Faults overlap and the Qilian Shan thrust fault systems in the northeastern ...

Influence of neotectonics on land surface evolution in the upper part of the Blue Nile Basin (Ethiopia): findings from a DEM

open access: yesActa Universitatis Carolinae Geographica, 2019
The morphometric analysis of lineaments, valleys and signs of erosion taken from a digital elevation model (DEM) made it possible to not only confirm most of the conclusions of the morphotectonic development of the Blue Nile Basin from the previously ...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a tool for interpretation of neotectonics in the Podhale area, Poland

open access: yes, 2016
A combination of approaches to the study of neotectonics is discussed. As an example, an analysis is presented for part of the Podhale region, where changes in the hydrogeological regime were observed. Comments are made on the manifestation of geological
