Abstract:

Karsts are truly ‘living landscapes’ as they are the outcome of complex interplay between geology, climate, hydrology, and biological factors over a long period of time. Karst landscape is a collection of surface and subterranean landforms, formed through the dissolution of soluble bedrocks mainly limestone. Limestone caves or solutional caves are the most important and the main landform of karst landscape. Sri Lanka consists of several limestone caves mainly in Sabaragamuwa, Uva and Central provinces. Waulpane limestone cave in Pallebedda, Ratnapura district is important due to its geological

Abstract:

The transition zone of the Wonosari and Nglanggran Formation in Purwosari District has the characteristics of thick soil, steep slopes, and no outcrops. The different characteristics found in the Wonosari Formation Zone are characterized by polygonal karst formations with thin soil and limestone rocks, and the Nglanggran Formation in the form of thick soil, andesite rock outcrops, and steep slopes. Geomorphological mapping of the Nglanggran and Wonosari Formation can be done easily through morphological approaches and outcrops. Geomorphological mapping is quite difficult to do in the transitio

Abstract:

Limestone mining activities in the Klapanunggal Karst Landscape were carried out at surface level. This method induced several adverse impacts on the environment. This study aimed to detect land destruction in the Klapanunggal Karst Landscape triggered by open limestone mining on the surface in the 2014-2020 period. The supervised classification method of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) was used to detect the change in land cover from Landsat 8 imagery, and Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) was applied to detect the change in landform from Sentinel 1A imagery.

Abstract: Karsts are the result of complex interactions between geology, climate, hydrology, and biological factors over long periods of time. These landscapes comprise a variety of surface and subterranean landforms formed primarily through the dissolution of soluble rocks, especially limestone. The dissolution process creates unique surface features and intricate networks of underground cavities, while the deposition of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) forms secondary mineral deposits known as speleothems.

Relief inversion is the result of an unusual interplay between landform evolution and peculiarities of geological settings. Recent fieldwork in Mountainous Adygeya in the western part of the Greater Caucasus mountains has enabled the identification of several inverted landforms. The Gud and Gudok mountains constitute a “classical” inverted landform with the top corresponding to the syncline’s core, which consists of relatively hard Middle Jurassic crinoid limestones. The Kabanya mountain, with the nearby branch of the Skalisty range, has a similar geological setting, although the hard Upper Ju

Abstract:

Karya Murni is one of the areas in the northern arm of Sulawesi that has been tectonically influenced. Tectonic processes have implications for the formation of rocks and geological features that have the potential to be developed into geodiversity sites. The development of geological features as a geodiversity site in aspiring geopark Gorontalo can protect valuable geological features from frequent degradation. This research aims to analyze and conduct quantitative assessments of geological diversity in Karya Murni, Gorontalo. The research method used is field observation, laboratory analysis

Abstract:

The landscape of Murge Tarantine limestone ridge (southern Apulia, Italy) is marked by the presence of an isolated relief showing a singular shape and name, the Monte del Diavolo (i.e., the Devil’s Mount). The Monte del Diavolo is located in a very interesting area from a geological point of view since it shows an E–W trending high-fault scarp, the morphological effect of the right-lateral transtensive North Salento Fault Zone. The Monte del Diavolo is a small isolated conical relief reaching at its top 115 m above m.s.l.; it elevates about 20 m from the surrounding plain surface, stretching a

Clusters of sea stacks, called rauks, are unique rocky landforms characteristic of Baltic Sea coasts. These limestone stacks raise interest due to their spectacular morphology and yet unexplained origin. This study presents the results of seasonal observations (2019–2020) of rauk coast changes carried out in one of the key rauk fields on Fårö Island, Sweden. The landforms developing within three test sites were examined. At Langhammars ‘classic’ field of rauks built from homogeneous limestone (1) and a shore platform devoid of rauks, underlain clearly separate limestone slabs were explored (2)

Abstract:

Mechanisms through which natural rock and coral landforms interact with waves, currents, sediment transport and beach morphology are still poorly understood. Therefore, interactions between sediment transport and calcarenite limestone landforms at Yanchep Lagoon in southwestern Australia were investigated over a cascade of spatial and temporal scales: from single waves, through sea breeze and storm events, to seasonal and inter-annual variability. The hypotheses that were confirmed included: (1) hard landforms with higher elevations relative to sea level are more likely to reduce beach erosion

Abstract:

AbstractActive karst landforms (poljes, dolines, sinkholes, caves and rillenkarren) and hydration and weathering phenomena on anhydrite and limestone are described from the Tripolitanian pre-desert. Rainfall in the study area is considerably less than the 250–300 mm a−1 previously suggested as the minimum precipitation threshold for the development of karst landforms. These findings suggest that the presence of karst land-forms in an arid region cannot necessarily be taken as evidence for higher precipitation levels in the past.

Abstract:

In tectonically active mountain ranges, the landscape is shaped by the interplay of erosion/sedimentation and tectonically driven crustal deformation. Characteristic landforms such as moraines, wind gaps, fault scarps, and river terraces can be used to decipher the landscape evolution. However, the available data often allow for different interpretations. Here we study the Pradol (Pradolino) Valley in Western Slovenia, a deeply incised canyon whose floor rests several hundreds of metres above the surrounding valleys. We use high-resolution digital elevation models, geomorphic indices and field

Attention is focused on tens of persistent joints and thousands of boulders associated with deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DGSDs), such as lateral spreads and block slides. Lateral spreads produce deep and long joints, which partially isolate limestone boulders along the edge of wide plateaus. These lateral spreads evolve into large block slides that detach thousands of limestone boulders from the cliffs and transport them towards the sea. These boulders are grouped in large slope-f

The geographically weighted regression (GWR) model was applied to explore the spatial non-stationary relationship between meff and NDVI in a karst basin of the southwestern China,
