Emergence of the Shackleton Range from beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet due to glacial erosion [PDF]

, 2014
This paper explores the long-term evolution of a subglacial fjord landscape in the Shackleton Range, Antarctica. We propose that prolonged ice-sheet erosion across a passive continental margin caused troughs to deepen and lower the surrounding ice-sheet ...

Landscapes of human evolution : models and methods of tectonic geomorphology and the reconstruction of hominin landscapes [PDF]

, 2011
This paper examines the relationship between complex and tectonically active landscapes and patterns of human evolution. We show how active tectonics can produce dynamic landscapes with geomorphological and topographic features that may be critical to ...

Roles of the riparian vegetation: the antagonism between flooding risk and the protection of environments

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Since the beginning of the 20th century, man has domesticated his environment and caused the modification of hydraulic conditions during floods. In parallel, civil engineering has strongly progressed in the domain of hydraulic structures but especially ...

Geomorphology Characteristic and Tectonic Response of the Meijiang Watershed in the Southern China Represented by Hypsometric Integral [PDF]

Journal of Risk Analysis and Crisis Response (JRACR), 2018
MeiJiang river basin was selected as study area in this paper because it is a typical representative in the mountains of south China. Firstly, the study area was classified into several catchments in ARCGIS platform based on DEM data.

Geodiversity is an inseparable but underutilized aspect of ecological connectivity assessments under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. As part of this, ecological connectivity needs to be ensured to support gene flow and viable populations in the face of changing ...

Lowland river responses to intraplate tectonism and climate forcing quantified with luminescence and cosmogenic 10Be [PDF]

, 2013
Intraplate tectonism has produced large-scale folding that steers regional drainage systems, such as the 1600 km-long Cooper Ck, en route to Australia’s continental depocentre at Lake Eyre.
