Soil erosion by water is one of the most important land degradation processes in
Mediterranean environments. This process is strongly linked to problems of flooding and …

We present the GIS extension CalHypso to automatically extract multiple hypsometric curves
from digital elevation models (DEM). This extension is programmed in Visual Basic 6 and …

The stages of geomorphic development of mountains have sometimes been explained
based on Strahler's diagram of hypsometric curves. Although the Japanese mountains are …

The Pakuashan anticline is uniquely suited for study of the forward and lateral growth of fault-
related folds. The Pakuashan ridge development arises from the late Quaternary uplift of the …

Identifying the instability areas provides useful information about the recognition of the
vulnerable zones and, thus, helps to potentially decrease the harm to the infrastructure and …

Studies on denudation rates can provide insight into the influence of climate change,
tectonics, and human activities on landscape evolution. Research performed in Central Italy …

The eastern part of the Lake Van basin (Van region, Turkey) is controlled by reverse faults,
such as the Gürpınar, Everek and Alaköy faults. These represent the major tectonic …

Morphometry is an important method for understanding geomorphic processes, such as
drainage development, impact of tectonics on the landscape, differential erosion, and …

This paper presents the main results of a series of geomorphological studies, aimed to the
quantitative direct and indirect evaluation of denudation processes in Central Italy. These …

The Qiulitage fold-and-thrust system in the Kuqa foreland is a prominent NE-SW trending
relief associated with active thrust-related folding in the southern Tian Shan. Based on open …
