TerraceM-2: A Matlab® Interface for Mapping and Modeling Marine and Lacustrine Terraces
The morphology of marine and lacustrine terraces has been largely used to measure past sea- and lake-level positions and estimate vertical deformation in a wealth of studies focused on climate and tectonic processes.

Exercise in Active Tectonics: An Introduction to Earthquakes and Tectonic Geomorphology
What should undergraduate tectonics students know about earthquakes? The thesis of Exercises in Active Tectonics is that they ought to have some familiarity with quantitative methods for determining earthquake size, location, repeat time, and effect on structures.

ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

The influences of lateral ground-tilting on channel morphology and alluvial architecture [PDF]
This thesis characterises and quantifies the influence of lateral ground-tilting on rivers in terms of: i) channel planform changes and migration style, ii) temporal and spatial patterns of channel movement, and, iii) the preserved alluvial architecture

The Application of Assessment Indicators of Active Tectonic in Estimating Tectonic Status in Upper Zayandehroud Mahmood. Habibolahian M.S of Geomorphology University of Isfahan Dr. Mohammad Hosein. Ramesht Professor of Geography University of Isfahan [PDF]
Introduction Given that Iran is located on the Seismicity belt of Alps-Himalaya and since we occasionally have seen huge and destructive earthquakes such as Bam and Tarom, the investigation and study of active tectonic and assessment of threat and risk ...

Abstract Chronological studies of glacial sediments from the Shishapangma and Yarlung Tsangpo River valley indicate that Quaternary glaciation on the southern Tibetan Plateau commenced at ∼0.75–0.83 Ma. However, the oldest glacial deposits in the northern plateau are dated to only ∼0.46 Ma, markedly later than the Middle Pleistocene glacial ...

A Vast Valley Network Beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet
Abstract Mapping subglacial topography along the margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet was revolutionized by reconciling measurements of ice thickness and surface velocity using the principle of mass conservation. Despite evidence that many subglacial valleys resolved by that method extend upstream, it cannot be applied to the ice sheet's slower‐flowing ...

CONSTRAINING MOUNTAIN FRONT ACTIVITY IN ACTIVE EXTENSIONAL SETTING BY TECTONIC GEOMORPHOLOGY: CASE STUDIES FROM THE SOUTHERN APENNINES (ITALY) [PDF]
The southern Apennines is a fold-and-thrust belt, which was formed during the late Cenozoic convergence between the African and Eurasian plates. Late Quaternary and active tectonics are dominated by extensional faulting mainly acting in both the inner ...
