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

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThe Mema is a semi-arid region in central Mali with a rich archaeological heritage indicating the former existence of large urban settlements. The archaeological data suggest millennia of occupation history of the Méma preceding relatively sudden abandonment by the 14th or 15th century AD. Population numbers have remained low since then and today’s human presence in the area is sparse and largely mobile. Geomorphologically, the Méma can be characterized as a graben hosting various generations of aeolian landforms and (presently mostly dry) interdunal channels and lakes, linked to the neighbouring Inland Niger Delta floodplain. Given this setting, and the variability of the Sahelian climate, climatic contributions to the region’s sudden abandonment are likely. A geomorphological survey of the region, and interpretation of the observed geomorphological record in terms of climatic history, aimed at providing a basis for understanding the intensive occupation and subsequent abandonment of the Méma. The results of this study underscore dramatic Holocene climatic variability, leading to the region’s present geomorphological diversity, but also suggest that neotectonic movements constitute an important additional cause of regional desiccation. Both may have encouraged prehistoric people to abandon the Méma after a long period of occupation.

Instream habitat assessment methods are required to evaluate the biological quality of streams in relation to flow and channel morphology and to distinguish the effects of river management on the instream biota. A range of techniques are described and developed in this study ranging from a simple reconnaissance survey to the detailed Physical Habitat Simulation Model (PHABSIM) in order to establish a method for the classification of river channels, identification of key parameters that determine the biota and assessment of the influence of flow and bed morphology on habitat availability.

Abstract:
Techniques and issues are considered surrounding the characterisation of surface form represented by Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). A set of software tools suitable for use in a raster based Geographical Information System (GIS) is developed. Characterisation has three specific objectives, namely to identify spatial pattern, to identify scale dependency in form and to allow visualisation of results. An assessment is made of the characteristics of error in DEMs by identifying suitable quantitative measures and visualisation processes that may be enabled within a GIS. These are evaluated by contour threading a fractal surface and comparing four different spatial interpolations of the contours. The most effective error characterisations are found to be those that identify high frequency spatial pattern. Visualisation of spatial arrangement of DEM error is used to develop a deterministic error model based on local surface slope and aspect. DEMs are parameterised using first and second derivatives of quadratic surfaces fitted over a range of scales. This offers advantages over traditional methods based on a 3 by 3 local window, as geomorphometric form can be characterised at any scale. Morphometric parameters are combined to give a feature classification that may also be applied over a range of scales. Multi-scale measurements are combined to give a feature membership function that describes how properties change with scale. These functions are visualised using modal and entropy measures of variability. An additional method of visualising scale dependency is suggested that graphically represents statistical measures of spatial pattern over a variety of spatial lags. This is found most appropriate for detecting structural anisotropy in a surface. Characterisation tools are evaluated by applying them to uncorrelated surfaces, fractal surfaces and Ordnance Survey DEMs of Lake District, Peak District and Dartmoor.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this study was to test a predictive model of the geomorphological and sedimentological effects of floods resulting from the sudden drainage of ice-dammed lakes (jokulhlaups). A process-based, conceptual model for channel and sedimentary characteristics was tested within a jokulhlaup routeway near Sondre Stromfjord, west Greenland. River channel change resulting from a jokulhlaup monitored in 1987 was studied in three channel types along the flood routeway: deltaic, high gradient bedrock-controlled, and low gradient confined valley sandur. Flood powers, sediment supply and channel resistance to erosion were found to vary considerably between the channel types. Consequently, amounts of channel change and the character of the sedimentary record showed extreme variation. In addition, parts of the jokulhlaup channel which experienced backwater effects may have experienced two sediment transport peaks. Variations between the character of deposits found within each of the three channel types reflect local differences in sediment supply, stream power and channel resistance to erosion. Deposition in the delta and the sandur records sedimentation related to a number of jokulhlaups, whilst the spillway and the bedrock-confined channel provide a record of the action of the last jokulhlaup as low stage deposits, as well as that of the earliest flood events as high stage deposits. This study has shown that it is possible to predict the morphology of channel macroforms. The internal structure of these macroforms is strongly dependent upon both the amount and character of sediment supplied to the channel during a jokulhlaup. The more detailed the knowledge of the controlling variables for any one channel, the more detailed the resulting predictions are. At present, the model concerns only the products of turbulent, Newtonian, water floods. It may, however, be possible to predict thresholds marking the transition to non-Newtonian flows where sediment supply conditions and hydrograph characteristics are known. The model may also be used in reverse to reconstruct the magnitude and frequency of former jokulhlaups where sufficient geomorphological and sedimentary evidence is available.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates geomorphological processes within the forested floodplain of the Highland Water, a small, lowland river in the New Forest, southern England. Geomorphological processes were monitored (a) before restoration, in order to define reference conditions, and (b) after restoration, in order to monitor the performance of the restoration against the reference conditions. The results demonstrate that the restoration was successful at moving the restored system towards target reference conditions by re-connecting the channel and floodplain, and consequently floodplain geomorphological dynamics were increased after restoration. However, the restored floodplain was considerably more connected and more dynamic than an upstream semi-natural reference reach, indicating that the restored channel was perhaps undersized. Floodplain channels were an important geomorphological feature observed on semi-natural floodplains, particularly in association with hydraulically effective wood jams. Experiments into sedimentation and erosion showed that overbank flow scoured the surface and distributed sediment, and rates of erosion and deposition were higher within floodplain channels than elsewhere on the floodplain surface. These channels were therefore a major control over the spatial distribution of energy and materials on the floodplain at the patch, feature and reach scale (10-1 to 102 m). The formation of in-channel wood jams, which force flow overbank, relies on the accumulation of wood. Experiments to investigate transport of small wood recorded travel distances ranging from 0 to over 1000 m. Shorter travel distances were associated with higher in-channel geomorphological diversity, particularly the presence of in-channel wood jams. This thesis therefore provides a greater understanding of the geomorphological processes operating on a forested floodplain in conjunction with monitoring the performance of a river restoration project that incorporated a forested floodplain.

O SÃtio Natural de Fortaleza, apesar dos atuais padrÃes de uso e ocupaÃÃo, ainda apresenta uma significativa diversidade de elementos constitutivos, os quais foram abordados neste trabalho sob uma anÃlise geomorfolÃgica que se inicia no longo termo e alcanÃa os dias atuais. Este texto objetiva essencialmente abordar os principais aspectos da gÃnese e evoluÃÃo geomorfolÃgica do sÃtio natural onde atualmente se situa e se desenvolve a cidade de Fortaleza, capital do Estado do CearÃ, Nordeste do Brasil, tendo como elemento norteador e teÃrico o PrincÃpio do Atualismo, associado a um conjunto de tÃcnicas que permitiram o desenvolvimento das anÃlises acerca do tema pesquisado. Ao longo da dissertaÃÃo, dividida em trÃs partes, alÃm de apresentar uma caracterizaÃÃo natural da cidade de Fortaleza e discutir a ciÃncia geomorfolÃgica e o PrincÃpio do Atualismo, tratamos dos principais elementos da evoluÃÃo morfoestrutural da Ãrea ao longo do CretÃceo, bem como dos perÃodos TerciÃrio e QuaternÃrio da Era CenozÃica e seus eventos intrÃnsecos, eventos estes, essenciais para o inÃcio da configuraÃÃo atual do meio fÃsico analisado. Com relaÃÃo aos aspectos mais recentes da evoluÃÃo geomorfolÃgica analisada, discutimos os relevos presentes no sÃtio natural de Fortaleza, com caracterizaÃÃes e anÃlises mais verticalizadas, bem como da participaÃÃo, condicionante e condicionada, desses relevos na dinÃmica atual. Finalizando o trabalho, analisamos o principal processo de degradaÃÃo da paisagem analisada, o processo de urbanizaÃÃo de Fortaleza, com a expansÃo da malha urbana e seus perÃodos mais significativos, citando suas causas, as direÃÃes dessa expansÃo e, principalmente, os elementos da paisagem alterados pela urbanizaÃÃo, bem como, os processos de degradaÃÃo ambiental presentes no cotidiano da cidade no sÃculo XXI.

The natural site of Fortaleza city, despite of the present standards of use and occupation of the soil, still presents a significant natural diversity, which were approached in this work under a geomorphological analysis that is initiated in the geological long term and achieves in the present days. The objectives ot the work are the main aspects of the geomorphological genesis and evolution of the natural site of the city of Fortaleza, capital of the State of CearÃ, Northeast of Brazil, having as theoretical support the Principle of Actualism, associated to an assembly of techniques that permitted the development of the analyses about the subject researched. The work, divided in three part, besides presenting a natural characterization of the city of Fortaleza, highlights the main elements of the morphostructural evolution of the area during the Cretaceous, the Quaternary and Tertiary periods and its inherent events. Regarding the most recent aspects of the geomorphological evolution, we discuss the present reliefs of the natural site of Fortaleza, with characterizations and vertical analyses, as well as the role of these reliefs in the present dynamics. Finalizing the research, we analyze the main process of environmental degradation of the landscape associated to the more significant urban development of Fortaleza, as well as the consequences of the environmental degradation for the routine one of the city in the century XXI. The results obtained could indicated the geomorphological features resultant of the action of geomorphological process during the Cretaceous still presents in the landscape, as well as its influence in the subsequent geomorphological evolution. Besides, we present a hypothesis of evolution for the deposition of the Barreiras Formation during the Tertiary, as well as a proposal of a possible paleo-valley of Cocà River, the main river of the city, which would have been changed during the Quaternary until achieve its present characteristics. On the basis of the mapping carried out and analyzed, we also propose a classification for the ponds that caractherized the natural site of Fortaleza. Finally, we present the main morphological characteristics of the city, as well as the present situation of its relifs. Finalizing, we analyze the influence of the process of development in the degradation of those features, the factors and the effects of the pressure exercised by the society, the worry about the way this situation is developing, the need of thinking and rethinking these conditions, as well as the importance of the natural site of the city, not well known to their citizens, in its essence and dynamics.

Abstract:
This thesis considers (inter)disciplinary spaces and research objects associated with geomorphology. Employing an ethnographic methodology, established Actor-Network Theory (ANT) themes are examined; the study considers the displacement of research objects amid the spaces of scientific inquiry and the role played by a range of actors in enabling this displacement. However, these well-known themes are given new impetus; the thesis seeks to address deficiencies in ANT accounts of space and it offers an alternative approach to conceptualising scientific research objects. Building on this analysis it considers how the spaces of geomorphological inquiry are reworked to accommodate interdisciplinary research objects. In this way, the study provides a strong theoretical contribution to the literature. However, this theoretical contribution is complemented by an important empirical base. The study is one of only a few Science and Technology Studies (STS) analyses to consider the geosciences. Focusing on late twentieth and early twenty-first century geomorphology, it provides an insight into an interdisciplinary field of research found in both geography and geology departments. In this way it offers an important contribution to the histories of geography literature and the literature on interdisciplinarity. Relatedly, through its attention to the interdisciplinary field of biogeomorphology, the study provides a bridge between existing STS literatures on the biosciences and nascent explorations of the geosciences.

Micallef, Aaron. "Failure processes in submarine landslides : a geomorphological approach." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2007. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/55502/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents a novel technique for the quantitative characterisation of bathymetric data sets. The technique integrates three main geomorphometric methods: morphometric attributes and their statistical analyses, feature-based quantitative representation, and automated topographic classification. These methods allow useful morphological information to be extracted from bathymetric data and can significantly enhance submarine geomorphological investigations. The methods are applied to bathymetric data from the Storegga Slide, one of the largest known submarine landslides, to investigate three aspects of submarine mass movements: spreading, fractal statistics and morphology and slide development. The morphological signature of spreading, in the form of a repetitive pattern of ridges and troughs, covers at least 25% of the Storegga Slide scar. Two modes of failure can be identified for submarine spreading. The first involves retrogressive slide development via the unloading of the headwall. The second entails the extension of a thin coherent slab of semi-consolidated material downslope by gravity. Both modes of failure involve the break up of surface sediment units into coherent blocks and their displacement along planar slip surfaces. The block movement pattern entails an exponential increase of displacement, and thinning of the failing sediment, with distance downslope. Loss of support and seismic loading are the main potential triggering mechanisms of submarine spreading. Analysis of headwall morphologies within the Storegga Slide reveals the occurrence of spatial scale invariance. One explanation for this scale invariance is that the Storegga Slide is a geomorphological system that may exhibit self-organised criticality. Spatial scale invariance may also be linked to the retrogressive nature of the Storegga Slide. The shape and fractal dimension of headwalls, on the other hand, can be used as a proxy for the type and number of the formative mass movements. A detailed reconstruction of the development of the north-eastern Storegga Slide shows that after the initial evacuation of the surface sediment as turbidity currents, the area failed as an extensive spread. The spreading blocks subsequently underwent higher displacement and remoulding, and were partly removed by debris flows and turbidity currents. The renewed instability within the spreading areas may have been related to gas hydrate dissociation and pore pressure increases due in response to the changing overburden, and the distribution of contourite drift deposits within underlying palaeoslide scars.

Abstract:
Following a review of Vital Signs – indicators of ecosystem health – in the coastal parks of the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN), knowledge of shoreline change was ranked as the top variable for monitoring. Shoreline change is a basic element in the management of any coastal system because it contributes to the understanding of the functioning of the natural resources and to the administration of the cultural resources within the parks. Collection of information on the vectors of change relies on the establishment of a rigorous system of protocols to monitor elements of the coastal geomorphology that are guided by three basic principles: 1) all of the elements in the protocols are to be based on scientific principles; 2) the products of the monitoring must relate to issues of importance to park management; and 3) the application of the protocols must be capable of implementation at the local level within the NCBN. Changes in ocean shoreline position are recognized as interacting with many other elements of the Ocean Beach-Dune Ecosystem and are thus both driving and responding to the variety of natural and cultural factors active at the coast at a variety of temporal and spatial scales. The direction and magnitude of shoreline change can be monitored through the application of a protocol that tracks the spatial position of the neap-tide, high tide swash line under well-defined conditions of temporal sampling. Spring and fall surveys conducted in accordance with standard operating procedures will generate consistent and comparable shoreline position data sets that can be incorporated within a data matrix and subsequently analyzed for temporal and spatial variations. The Ocean Shoreline Position Monitoring Protocol will be applied to six parks in the NCBN: Assateague Island National Seashore, Cape Cod National Seashore, Fire Island National Seashore, Gateway National Recreation Area, George Washington Birthplace National Monument, and Sagamore Hill National Historic Site. Monitoring will be accomplished with a Global Positioning System (GPS )/ Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) unit capable of sub-meter horizontal accuracy that is usually mounted on an off-road vehicle and driven along the swash line. Under the guidance of a set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) (Psuty et al., 2022), the monitoring will generate comparable data sets. The protocol will produce shoreline change metrics following the methodology of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System developed by the United States Geological Survey. Annual Data Summaries and Trend Reports will present and analyze the collected data sets. All collected data will undergo rigorous quality-assurance and quality-control procedures and will be archived at the offices of the NCBN. All monitoring products will be made available via the National Park Service’s Integrated Resource Management Applications Portal.
