This work gathers and discusses the major techniques of geomorphic indexes developed by several researchers over time, and currently applied to tectonics/neotectonics/active tectonic deformation study. Drainage is the most ...

This paper investigates post-dam geomorphic and vegetation changes in the Sauce Grande River, a meandering dryland river impounded by a large water-conservation dam. As the dam impounds a river section with scarce influence ...

Tropical mountain ecosystems are sensitive to environmental change brought about by natural and anthropogenic processes. The steep topography, shallow soils and unsustainable land use practices following forest conversion ...

Analysis of several morphotectonic tools (longitudinal river profiles, knickpoints, swath profiles, and geomorphic indices) together with geomorphological, lithological, and structural data provided objective and quantifiable ...

The Poás volcano is an active volcano of Costa Rica with intense tectonic activity in its flanks. Historically, the volcano has presented strong, surficial earthquakes provoking many landslides with associated casualties ...

Peat bogs are ecosystems characterized by high levels of organic matter (OM), which accumulates in environments of low biological activity. The peat bogs present in the tropical highlands of Serra do Espinhaco Meridional ...

Evaluating the role of tectonics and climate as possible triggering mechanisms of landscape reconfigurations is essential for paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic reconstructions. In this study an exceptional receptive ...
