There remains a lack of understanding on the geomorphic setting of the landscapes of the
Basalt Plateau of the Paraná Sedimentary Basin (South Brazil), especially in regard to …

The Quaternary dynamics of landscapes in the subtropical continental region of Brazil is not
still well understood. Pedostratigraphic records of low-order paleovalleys (paleovalley …

Land degradation resulting from increased continental surface erosion is a worldwide and
systemic phenomenon due to unsustainable human activities. Already fragile, the …

We explore the structural and geomorphological evidence for recent tectonic activity in the
Serranía de San Lucas (San Lucas Range, SLR), the northern segment of the Central …

The formation of rift flank topography along rifted margins is related to the flexural uplift of the
footwall on the rift border fault during lithospheric stretching. The preservation of rift flank …

Drainage rearrangements and consequently divide migration are important processes in the
dynamic evolution of landscapes. Two approaches have been used to identify, analyze, and …

A great escarpment at a rift margin can correspond directly to a major water divide, but at
many margins, including in Madagascar, the escarpment often appears as a steep …

The passive margin of southeastern Brazil is characterized by two coast-parallel mountain
ranges, Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira, separated by valleys partially covered with …

Morphometric analysis is widely used in tectonic geomorphology as a useful method for
identifying fold activity in terms of its lateral and vertical growth. This study evaluates the …

Present-day endorheic drainage systems are rare in tropical humid regions and/or close to
the coast. During the late Cenozoic, under a humid tropical climate, the Paraíba do Sul River …
