Integrated application of the geographic information system and remote sensing in solving hydrogeological and environmental problems in the central part of Ethiopia and its possible extensive future use
… auch Ergebnisse über die Siedlungsstruktur, die Geomorphologie und den Forstbestandsschwund erzielt. Außerdem, in dieser Klimazone soll die Suche und Nutzung des Grundwasser-Vorkommens nicht als eine in sich geschlossene und unabhängige Arbeit gesehen werden, sondern vielmehr als ein integraler …

Understanding Himalayan denudation at the catchment and orogen scale
Understanding the rates and processes of denudation is key to unraveling the dynamic processes that shape active orogens. This includes decoding the roles of tectonic and climate-driven processes in the long-term evolution of high- mountain landscapes in regions with pronounced tectonic activity …

The development and evolution of Etosha Pan, Namibia
This study explores and examines the geomorphology of a large endorheic basin, approximately twice the size of Luxemburg, situated in the Etosha National Park, Namibia. The main focus is directed on how and when this depression, known as Etosha Pan, came into being. Geomorphological investigation …

Late Quaternary sand ramps in south-western Namibia - Nature, origin and palaeoclimatological significance
Sand ramps have been (and still are) neglected in geomorphological research. Only recently any awareness of their potential of being a major source of palaeoenvironmental information, thanks to their multi-process character, has been developed. In Namibia, sand ramps were terra incognita. This …

Klimageomorphologische Studien in Zentral-Namibia: Ein Beitrag zur Morpho-, Pedo- und Ökogenese
Es werden die Ergebnisse mehrjähriger geomorphologische, pedologischer und ökologischer Feldaufnahmen in Namibia vorgestellt. Der Schwerpunkt der Betrachtung lag auf einem West-Ost-Transekt im zentralen Drittel des Landes zwischen dem südlichen Wendekreis und der Etosha-Region. Das Transekt …

Planetary mapping tools applied to floor-fractured craters on Mars
Planetary research is often user-based and requires considerable skill, time, and effort. Unfortunately, self-defined boundary conditions, definitions, and rules are often not documented or not easy to comprehend due to the complexity of research. This makes a comparison to other studies, or an …

Late quaternary climate changes and landscape evolution in the Northwest Himalaya : geomorphologic processes in the Indian Summer Monsoon Domain
The India-Eurasia continental collision zone provides a spectacular example of active mountain building and climatic forcing. In order to quantify the critically important process of mass removal, I analyzed spatial and temporal precipitation patterns of the oscillating monsoon system and their …

Tectonic and climatic control on the evolution of the Himalayan mountain front
Variations in the distribution of mass within an orogen may lead to transient sediment storage, which in turn might affect the state of stress and the level of fault activity. Distinguishing between different forcing mechanisms causing variations of sediment flux and tectonic activity, is therefore …

From phantom blocks to denudational noise
Knowing the rates and mechanisms of geomorphic process that shape the Earth’s surface is crucial to understand landscape evolution. Modern methods for estimating denudation rates enable us to quantitatively express and compare processes of landscape downwearing that can be traced through time and …

Fault interaction at different time- and length scales : the North Tehran thrust and Mosha-Fasham fault (Alborz mountains, Iran)
The seismically active Alborz mountains of northern Iran are an integral part of the Arabia-Eurasia collision. Linked strike-slip and thrust/reverse-fault systems in this mountain belt are characterized by slow loading rates, and large earthquakes are highly disparate in space and time. Similar to …

Quantifying forearc deformation patterns using coastal geomorphic markers
Rapidly uplifting coastlines are frequently associated with convergent tectonic boundaries, like subduction zones, which are repeatedly breached by giant megathrust earthquakes. The coastal relief along tectonically active realms is shaped by the effect of sea-level variations and heterogeneous …
