lterations in river morphological quality are derived from quantification of human pressures as well as river morphological alteration. Taleghan River is an important source of water for the irrigation of Agri cultural lands in Qazvin... more
La cuenca alta del río General se localiza en el centro-sur de Costa Rica, a 80 km al SE de San José. Esta región está sujeta a una declaratoria oficial por parte de la Comisión Nacional de Prevención de Riesgos y Atención de Emergencias... more
Los abanicos aluviales morfodinámicamente activos que han sido construidos por depósitos torrenciales, representan áreas altamente inestables, cuyas condiciones definen escenarios de amenaza para las poblaciones asentadas sobre ellos. Se... more
This paper introduces a new approach for determining the most likely initiation points for landslides from potential instability mapped using a terrain stability model. This approach identifies the location with critical stability index... more
"Horcones Inferior glacier’s moraines extend for about 20 km, and we can distinguish five different areas, beginning with the most recent ones: 1) The current moraines, which correspond to lateral moraines and one frontal moraine. 2) The... more
The next generation of digital elevation data (≤3 m resolution) calls for the development of new algorithms for the objective extraction of geomorphic features, such as channel networks, channel heads, bank geometry, landslide scars, and... more

In recent years, new remote-sensed technologies, such as airborne and terrestrial laser scanner, have improved the detail and the quality of topographic information, providing topographical high-resolution and high-quality data over... more
The search for the optimal spatial scale for observing landforms to understand physical processes is a fundamental issue in geomorphology. Topographic attributes derived from Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) such as slope, curvature and... more
Os territórios urbanos acompanham os novos paradigmas de desenvolvimento e mudança no contexto de desígnios que pretendem promover territórios mais coesos, competitivos, atrativos e com valor económico e cultural. A requalificação urbana,... more
Erg of Gavkhooni Playa is one of the important geomorphologic landforms of Quaternary period in Iran. The area is located on the western part of Gaovkhoni Playa and 140 km to the Southeast of Isfahan, Iran. This study presents a display... more

This special issue brings together studies on the innovative use of remotely sensed DTMs for Earth science applications for obtaining new understanding of earth surface processes. The idea for this issue arose from a session on “Remotely... more
Resumo: Após algumas considerações sobre riscos naturais na área de Coimbra, pretende-se explorar as potencialidades dos Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG’s) para modelizar e cartografar o risco de movimentos de materiais em... more
