Current theories of saturation-excess and infiltration-excess runoff fail to comprehensively and accurately elucidate the intricate runoff generation process in the Loess Plateau. It is imperative to examine the impact of preferred flow and plug flow on river runoff dynamics. This study elucidated the structural composition of runoff components by examining the literature on runoff formation mech…

This 2003/2004 Master thesis by Martina Brotto deserves some more visibility. It presents an exploration into how slopes evolve over time through erosion processes and tackles one of the fundamental challenges in geomorphology : understanding and predicting how hillsides change their shape through the complex interplay of soil production and erosion. What makes this research particularly interest…

The Geomorphho90m dataset » Click here for the visualization « Topographical relief comprises the vertical and horizontal variations of the Earth’s terrain and drives processes in geomorphology, biogeography, climatology, hydrology and ecology. Its characterisation and assessment, through geomorphometry and feature extraction, is fundamental to numerous environmental modelling and simulation anal…

La geomorfometria è la scienza che studia in modo quantitativo la geomorfologia, specialmente attraverso l'uso dei nuovi strumenti digitali. Da anni ho sviluppato con i miei collaboratori degli strumenti (dei software) di analisi raccolti nella Horton Machine . La lezione è divisa in 5 parti: 1- Gli elementi di base. Audio  2014: (18.4 Mb). Audio 2015 (22.9 Mb) 2 - Le grandezze derivate . Audio 2…

What: We will be working on reconstructing past environmental and geomorphic conditions in Glacier National Park through collection and analysis of lake sediment cores. There is broad interest in the […] The post GEOMORPHOLOGIC AND PALEOENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE IN GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, MONTANA appeared first on Keck Geology Consortium .

We often talk about landscape evolution (and I have a little history on the subject ). However, we usually forget that from 65Ky and 12Ky of years ago a lot of our Earth was covered by a glaciation. The image below, robbed from a Mr. Kurt Werth presentation at "At North of Trento and South of Bolzano" ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) Meeting, illustrates the situation in the place where I live, the river Adige basi…
