Abstract:

AbstractThe objective of the present study is to evaluate the relation between the spatial and temporal dynamics of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) and the hydro-geomorphological processes and their impacts. The study area is the city of Leiria, in central Portugal, within the period 1958–2018 based on the historical record of floods and landslides disasters. The LULC analysis shows an accentuated increase in the artificial areas and a continuous decrease in the agricultural areas. With regard to hydro-geomorphologic disaster occurrences, a total of 124 occurrences were identified, having caused a set of impacts. The obtained results allow one to characterize the artificialization process, its intensity and territorial dispersion, as a consequence of urban sprawl and peri-urbanization, along with its consequences in exposure to hydro-geomorphological processes. The analysis concludes that changing the risk drivers resulted in an increase in frequency and spatial dispersion of hydro-geomorphologic disasters over the analysed period.

Abstract:

Main issues related to the geomorphological mapping of quarries are discussed. The stages of creating these maps are characterized. The first stage is the analysis of raw materials and prefield mapping. The relief in contours with a relatively small value of horizontal crossing (2 m) is depicted in surveying and topographic maps and plans of mines (scale 1:500–1:5000). According to topographic maps and plans of mining the boundaries of main elements of relief can be quite easy to distinguish, and sometimes their genesis can be set. Space photos help to identify not only the major but also the minor (small) elements and forms of relief and micro-relief surfaces (flat, hilly etc.). As a result of preparatory (prefield) the geomorphological map-hypothesis (preliminary geomorphological map) is worked out, the main morphological elements of relief are highlighted there to the most possible extent. The second most important, phase is field mapping. The main task is to identify the complete and final elements and landforms. Four major components of the quarry relief, which are represented on geomorphic maps (its morphology, genesis, age and dynamics) are analysed. The relief morphology is the most essential part of the content of geomorphologic maps of quarries. The morphological criteria define the boundaries of cells and landforms, and confirm or deny the previously allocated limits, specify them (including changes in the relief that have occurred in recent years) and circumstance them. The genesis of quarries relief, in general, is purely anthropogenic. Depending on the relief forming factor (anthropogenic denudation or accumulation) the main genetic categories of relief are distinguished respectively: excavated (or denudational) and accumulative. The age of the relief is determined by the fund and literary sources, topographic and surveying maps, remote materials. Additional criteria that can be found in field studies can also be used, such as: 1) herbage (amount of turf); 2) forestry (approximate age of trees); 3) the severity of morphological forms. Contemporary geomorphological processes in quarries are the natural and anthropogenic processes that occur in man-made terrain, but act as natural. From the experience of personal research, the most common processes include landfall-landslides processes, linear erosion, sheet erosion, upheaval, suffusion. Some other characteristics that are represented on geomorphological maps include geological structure, vegetation, hydrological features. The main geological characteristic is the lithology of deposits, first and foremost the lithology of career ledges (loam, sand, marl, limestone, sandstone etc.). Vegetation on geomorphic maps of quarries is of secondary importance. Its presence indicates the relative maturity of the human terrain, insignificant activity of modern exogenous processes. Hydrological features of quarries usually consist in the amount of water on separate areas (bottoms of quarries) and waterlogging. The last stage is drawing the legend and mapping of the geomorphological map. Legend to the geomorphological map consists of the following components: 1) the types of human terrain, which are divided into key elements (rarely forms) of relief; 2) small (minor) elements and landforms; 3) the contemporary geomorphological processes (contemporary morphodynamics); 4) other markings. The most essential in the legend is the first part that actually describes the main elements and landforms of quarry relief grouped according to genetics and further divided by age and morphology, topography, geological and hydrological characteristics, vegetation. There are no specific standards as to geomorphological maps mapping. There are black and white and colour versions of the maps. Key words: quarry, anthropogenic relief, geomorphological mapping, geomorphological maps stages of construction, contemporary morhpodynamics

Abstract:

The main focus of the article is the significance of the geomorphological method for the reconstruction of paleogeographic events that took place in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. The specific data obtained as a result of applying this method are given. A reasonable curve of the Caspian Sea level fluctuations in the Holocene was compiled. A risk zone has been defined, within which the level of the Caspian Sea will fluctuate in the future, under modern physics-geographical conditions, which is fundamental importance when planning any economic measures in the coastal zone. Predictions were made and later justified of the Caspian Sea level fluctuations in the 20thearly 21st centuries. The climatic nature of the Caspian transgressions was confirmed. Obtained were new data on the evolution of the shores of the Caspian Sea under rising level conditions, which can be used when forecasting the development of the shores of other seas in the conditions of the present-day rise of the World Ocean level.

Abstract:

The article presents a methodological approach to assessing the geomorphological safety of sea coasts based on the close interdependence between geomorphological conditions and active coastal recreational activities. One of the key stages of the proposed assessment is recreational-geomorphological zoning, which results in separation of regions, districts and local areas in relation to relief homogeneity and recreational situation. The suggested approach is based on the quantitative indicators of the environment — conditions of relief formation and the geomorphological properties of the territory. Group of criteria for the situation of relief formation includes lithological, hydrometeorological, human and social factors. Among the group of geomorphological criteria are: morphometric characteristics of the coast, the dynamics of the coast and the activity of slope processes. Resultant geomorphological safety was classified into three classes: the most suitable areas for recreation; territories subject to further refinement; and inconvenience territories that cannot be used at all. The results of the geomorphological safety assessment are designed to increase the effectiveness of recreational environmental planning. The suggested principles of geomorphological assessment can be used not only for the Baltic region, but almost for any coastal region, which may require some correction of criteria.

Abstract:

<p>Geomorphology depicts the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of both terrain and landscape features combined with the processes responsible for its evolution. Soil erosion by water involves processes, which removes soil particles and organic matter from the upper sheet of the soil surface, and then transports the eroded material to distant location under the action of water. Very few studies have been conducted on the nature and dynamics of soil erosion in the different geomorphologic features. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to assess the control of geomorphologic features on the soil loss. Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) was used to determine soil loss from the various geomorphological landforms. Principal component analysis (PCA) was implemented on the USLE parameters to determine the degree of association between the individual principal components and the USLE-derived soil loss. Results obtained from the investigation signify the influence of the various landforms on soil erosion. PC5 is found to be significantly correlated with the USLE-derived soil loss. The results ascertained significant association between the soil loss and geomorphological landforms, and therefore, suitable strategies can be implemented to alleviate soil loss in the individual landforms.</p>

Abstract:

Examples of relief studies by seven prominent Russian soil scientists, representatives of the Dokuchaev school, are presenterd. Geomorphological issues, ideas and concepts in the works of soil scientists of the XX century. showed their high professional interest in geomorphology. The beginning of the geomorphological research of Russian soil scientists was laid by the great Russian researcher V. V. Dokuchaev. Geomorphological views of V. V. Dokuchaev were ahead of the V. M. Davis' concept of the geographic cycle. Soil-geomorphological studies of S. S. Neustruev partially supplemented the concept of V. M. Davis. B. B. Polynov proved the necessity of attracting geomorphological methods and techniques when conducting soil studies, used geomorphological principles in the deduction of the three laws of the distribution of weathering crusts. I. P. Gerasimov created the theory of morphostructure and morphosculpture, introduced the idea of three macrocycles in the history of the formation of the Earth's landscapes. All the researchers cited in the article conducted detailed complex studies using geodesy methods. Scientists were able to identify a large array of new geomorphological data from the classification of microrelief to the adjustment of the main laws of geomorphology. The main feature of the scientific activity of Russian soil scientists-geomorphologists was the Dokuchaev school that gave rise to all them. It was from the Dokuchaev's principles and approaches that the mentioned scientists started and developed and passed to their students and followers. The well known Russian soil scientist and geomorphologist I. P. Gerasimov completed the century-long period of the geomorphological studies by soil scientists started by V. V. Dokuchaev.

Abstract:

Abstract The risk assessment of the dangerous geomorphological processes development in the Dauria steppes in conditions of pronounced cyclical fluctuations in climate and high dynamism of geomorphological systems is carried out on a five-point scale. The analysis of the spatial and temporal structure of fluvial and aeolian processes for the purposes of nature management is fulfilled. The role of extreme geomorphological events is shown, which are a serious limiting factor of conflict-free nature management in the Daurian region. The revealed catastrophic manifestations of fluvial and aeolian processes require careful planning of economic activities and serious environmental protection measures. The result of the assessment is the zoning of the Dauria territory according to the degree of geomorphological risk. The types of economic activities that do not violate the stability of the regime of geomorphological systems, and, on the other hand, are undesirable, increasing the risk of critical natural situations, are indicated.

Abstract:

Abstract A major part of Poland, classified geographically as Polish Lowland, is covered by a layer of loose or cohesive sediments whose thickness increases toward the north. Numerous authors emphasize the impact of the protrusion of the erosional base level on the course of processes shaping modern river valleys. It has been demonstrated, among other things, that the culmination of the sub-alluvial, cohesive bedrock determines the manner in which the channel zone and the adjacent floodplain are formed, which is associated with the hydrological system of the river. A number (12) of geological documenting holes have been drilled to the bottom of the valley. Also, geological profiles were recorded for 34 natural outcrops. The range of the individual outcrops was determined using a geomorphological analysis based on, among other things, the data from airborne laser scanning. The main objective of the research based on geomorphological criteria was to identify the differences in valley morphology and geological structure as well as the dynamics of currently occurring fluvial processes, along with geological features influencing their development, in particular in the middle course of a river. The research allowed the distinction of three geologically and geomorphologically characteristic sections. This allowed an answer to the question: why is the river in the lowland similar to a mountain stream.

Abstract:

Abstract. Methodologies and procedures in processing gained data vary based on possibilities and needs of scientific projects. This paper should help to get a general overview in the choice of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS – commonly known as drones) for scientific purposes, namely remote sensing of geomorphologic processes such as soil degradation in high mountainous areas that are hard to access and have unfavourable weather conditions. All high mountain areas in European countries are legislatively protected, and so various permissions and observation of strict procedures are needed in order to not have a negative influence on the environment. Nowadays, several types of UAS exist that could effectively help us in such protection, as well as in full-fledged utilization when answering scientific questions about the alpine lake genesis. We demonstrate it here with selected examples of our photo documentation.

Abstract:

The article reviews publications devoted to geological and geomorphological monuments of Ukraine highlights specific features of their formation in different regions and reveals their importance for the development of nature-cognitive tourism as a basis for the formation of the tourism industry. The methodological unity of the concepts "geological monuments" and "geomorphological monuments", which characterize the original course of natural processes and their results and therefore have great scientific and cognitive value are considered. Emphasis is placed on the important participation of geomorphological processes in the formation of natural monuments, which show different geological monuments on the earth's surface and reflect not only the features of geological factors but also the diversity of relief processes, their dynamics, which determines the status of most monuments as "geological and geomorphological". Important for establishing the protection status of geological and geomorphological monuments are the developed criteria for assessing the aesthetics of the relief of Ukraine, its uniqueness, the presence of features "architecture-composition", combination with other elements of the landscape, stability or mobility, imagery – photogenicity, visual effect, emotional perception, attractiveness, etc. It is noted that the category of natural phenomena "geological and geomorphological monuments" is characterized by significant conservatism compared to other components of the natural environment. Such monuments are carriers of paleogeographic and ethnocultural content, which, in addition to scientific significance, gives them the status of interesting tourist attractions. This creates an opportunity for the development of nature-cognitive tourism, which can be both independent and successfully complements all other known types of tourism. Geological and geomorphological monuments influence the nature of recreational activities. The specificity and sequence of recreational functions of the relief of Ukraine according to the special properties of endogenous, exogenous, and anthropogenic genetic varieties of recreational geological and geomorphological monuments have been established. Key words: geotourism; nature-cognitive tourism; geological-geomorphological monuments; geoheritage of Ukraine.

Abstract:

The paper has two main aims. Firstly, to postulate a physical geodatabase model of a geomorphological information system based on the already existing logical geodatabase model. Secondly, to define processes of geomorphological analysis based on the physical geodatabase model. The structure of the physical model follows the logical model and is divided into three parts: adopted layers (hydrology, geology, topography and others), basic layers (elementary forms, digital elevation model and derivatives, documentation materials, genetic groups of landforms, morphodynamic phenomena, basin based features and geomorphic network) and special layers (morphostructural analysis, comprehensive geomorphological analysis and so on). The geodatabase modelling methodology was used for developing the physical geodatabase model. The geomorphological analysis is based mainly on the layer of elementary forms (defined according to their morphology and morphometry) and the derived layer of morphogenetical forms (determined by genesis of landforms). The traditional methods of geomorphological mapping and also more recent concepts of geomorphological analysis were used. The concept is presented in the context of research in the surroundings of Prášilské jezero (lake) in the Šumava (Mts.). ESRI products were used to carry out the project.

Abstract:

A geomorphodynamic analysis was developed in a piedmont of Sierra Chica de Zonda Range in the Precordillera Oriental of Argentina using a combination of traditional methods including photointerpretation of aerial photos, analysis of satellite images and analysis of geomorphological processes and vegetation parameters in the field. The aim was to identify and characterize alluvial fan deposits with different morphodynamic processes, and to establish a relationship between processes and native vegetation properties. The geomorphological surveys and field observations enabled the identification and classification of two large morphodynamic units: a) current functional and active deposits and b) ancient non-functional and inactive deposits. The vegetation coverage associated to these deposits showed a significant difference (p=0.034); species diversity and richness varied according to the processes operating in the alluvial fan sectors. During the Quaternary period several changes occurred in the dynamic processes in this area, which caused the development of at least two cycles of load flow deposit with a different relationship between solids and fluids. Currently, these different alluvial fan deposits are subject to diverse dynamic processes, which influence the characteristics of the colonization and the distribution of native plants. The vegetation is distributed in relation to the type of deposit over which it grows; however, it also depends on the dynamics of the processes taking place in geomorphological units. Both the identification and analysis of geomorphological processes are important for determining vegetation cover and distribution over alluvial fans in arid areas.

Abstract:

Ecological-geomorphological zoning analysis of Baikal Region to hazardous geomorphological processes was carried out on the basis of the author’s technique. Baikal Region includes the subjects of the Russian Federation in the South Siberia and Republic of Mongolia within the boundaries of the Lake Baikal Basin. The basis of zoning are: 1) the spatial distribution patterns of dominant landforms and geomorphological processes that have a negative impact on the economy and social sphere; 2) territorial organization of the economy of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Mongolia, as well as regional system of intra and inter regional industrial relations; 3) the prospects for socio-economic development of South Siberia in Russian Federation and the Republic of Mongolia, as well as hazardous geomorphological processes that can be activated or re-emerge in the result. Research aimed at improving the state system to deal with emergency situations of natural and man-made disasters in Russia, optimization of international contacts in the field of modernization and development of new methods of prevention and prediction of natural disasters and catastrophes.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper proposes a morphoevolutionary model for western Sicily. Sicily is a chain–foredeep–foreland system still being built, with tectonic activity involving uplift which tends to create new relief. To reconstruct the morphoevolutionary model, geological, and geomorphological studies were done on the basis of field survey and aerial photographic interpretation. The collected data show large areas characterized by specific geological, geomorphological, and topographical settings with rocks, landforms, and landscapes progressively older from south to north Sicily. The achieved results display: (1) gradual emersion of new areas due to uplift, its interaction with the Quaternary glacio-eustatic oscillations of the sea level, and the following production of a flight of stair-steps of uplifted marine terraces in southern Sicily, which migrates progressively upward and inwards; in response to the uplift (2) triggering of down-cutting processes that gradually dismantle the oldest terraces; (3) competition between uplift and down-cutting processes, which is responsible for the genesis of river valleys and isolated rounded hills in central Sicily; (4) continuous deepening over time that results in the exhumation of older and more resistant rocks in northern Sicily, where the higher heights of Sicily are realized and the older forms are retained; (5) extensional tectonic event in the northern end of Sicily, that produces the collapse of large blocks drowned in the Tyrrhenian Sea and sealed by coastal-marine deposits during the Calabrian stage; (6) trigger of uplift again in the previously subsiding blocks and its interaction with coastal processes and sea level fluctuations, which produce successions of marine terraces during the Middle–Upper Pleistocene stages.

Abstract:

The approaches to qualitative and quantitative evaluation of recreational-geomorphological potential based on the study of geomorphological safety and attractiveness was applied to the coastal areas of the White and Baltic Seas. The two coasts differ in geomorphological structure, and tourist activities, but they both are attractive for visitors at any time of the year. For more effective conduct of activities in the study areas, it is necessary to take into account the presence of natural monuments, infrastructure development, activity of dangerous processes, historical and cultural characteristics of the area, etc. The best way is to apply different coefficients that give a comprehensive assessment of the territory. The special and integrated indicators obtained in this study can be used for zoning in terms of safety and attractiveness when creating a new tourism product and decision-making related to the foundation and functioning of recreation zones and systems.

Abstract:

Snowfalls are important meteorological events affecting the physical environment of the Cantabrian Mountains. This work analyzes the effects of snow on several elements such as relief, landforms, ground climate and snowmelt waters. The ground thermal regime and associated parameters were studied using temperature data loggers and satellite images and were described in combination with observed geomorphological processes and landforms. A geomorphological map was drawn up and trends in climate patterns and runoff were calculated. Ground temperature monitoring in warm years is not optimal, though allow to know the limit conditions for developing cold processes. Results show that geomorphological processes are not significant and that solifluction deriving from snowmelt, is the only active process in years without freeze or with thick snow cover. Snowfall evolution in recent decades in correlation with flow water and climate features provide the certainty that snow distribution also affects efficacy in runoff generation and moves the flow peak in rivers due to early snowmelt.

Abstract:

Destructive natural phenomena are a serious, sometimes unsolvable, regional and local environmental and socioeconomic problem. This paper presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of materials from long-term geomorphological studies in the mountainous areas on the example of the Major Caucasus of Azerbaijan. The dangerous geomorphological processes on the example of the Major Caucasus of Azerbaijan were investigated in detail using large-scale maps, satellite imagery and aerial photography. Geomorphological maps were drawn (map of mudflow hazard and map of landslide hazard in the Azerbaijani part of the Major Caucasus). The research determined the dangerous zones where landslides could cover 65–70% of the total area and outlined the zones and regularities of spread of various types of mudflow origination sites. The analysis of the manifestations of most active (with catastrophic consequences) destructive natural processes and the morphotectonic structure of the studied area showed that the their occurrence and maximum intensity was confined to the weakest plexuses of mountains – intersections of faults and fractures of various directions and orders. A technique for assessing the eco-geomorphological risk to prevent dangerous natural phenomena was offered. The technique is based on the detection of zones with intensive geomorphological processes, which are often not dangerous separately, but could have catastrophic consequences together. The results obtained during the assessment of the effect of natural and man-caused factors on the stability of montane ecosystems may be used to forecast dangerous natural phenomena and to research geodynamical dangerous geomorphological process not only in Azerbaijan, but also in other regions of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt. The obtained results can be used to plan and perform economic activities, determine and minimize the hazards and risks of occurrence of dangerous natural phenomena, and forecast such phenomena in the future.
