Using technology as an aid to the geomorphologist
Sarah Robinson, Arizona State University at the Tempe Campus
Geomorphology requires characterization of the earth's surface at sufficient high resolution in 3 dimensions to explicitly represent landforms. Measuring change requires repeat survey, thus adding the 4th ...

Glacial Features of Franconia Notch, New Hampshire
R. Laurence Davis, University of New Haven
INTRODUCTION Franconia Notch, New Hampshire (Figure 1) is a classic northern Appalachian glaciated valley. It has geomorphic features from pre-glacial times, from the glaciation itself, from glacial meltwater, and ...

Challenges associated with investigations into the geomorphology of other worlds: A case study examining glacier-like forms in the mid-latitudes of Mars
Colin Souness
Ever since global imagery of Mars was first gathered and transmitted back to Earth in 1971 by the Mariner 9 orbiter, geomorphologists have remarked upon the abundance of landforms which seem to suggest the action ...

Plateau Glaciers and their significance
Brian Whalley, niversity of Sheffield
Plateaus exist in many mountainous parts of the world. Although not as spectacular as high, prominent peaks, they do often have (or have had in the past) glaciers associated with them. In this vignette I describe ...

Rock glaciers: their ice and debris balances
Brian Whalley, niversity of Sheffield
Rock glaciers are best defined by their topography (Fig. 1) and that they flow slowly. Their dynamic character is attributed to the flow of ice deforming the associated weathered rock debris. Typically, they flow ...

Volcanic History and Cinder Cone Erosion at Newberry Volcano, Oregon
Steve Taylor, Western Oregon University
Surface landforms result from a balance of constructional and erosional processes operating at geological time scales of 102 to 105 years. The landscape evolves over time as masses of earth material are transferred ...

Beach replenishment on developed shorelines: a coupled human–landscape system
Eli Lazarus
Beach replenishment (also called "beach nourishment") is an engineering strategy commonly used on sandy shorelines where erosion threatens coastal property and infrastructure. The process involves ...

Precipitation and debris flows in the Adirondacks
Devin McPhillips, University of Vermont
In the Adirondack Mountains in New York State, slide scars are distinctive features of the landscape. These scars are usually long, narrow exposures of bedrock on steeper slopes that form when debris flows scour ...

Sinkhole hazard above salt, Dead Sea shore
amos frumkin
The hazard of sinkholes (collapse dolines) is commonly associated with karst (landscapes dominated by dissolution and subsurface drainage), where subsurface cavities undermine the overlying strata, causing ...

Stream incision and surface uplift in the Kings River drainage, Sierra Nevada, California
Devin McPhillips, University of Vermont
Among the awe-inspiring canyons of the Sierra Nevada, the Kings River Canyon stands out. John Muir considered the South Fork of the Kings possibly even grander than Yosemite Valley. In fact, the valley walls are ...
