In spite of the geomorphological diversity of Central America and Costa Rica, there are few detailed geomorphological maps. A 1:25,000 scale map of the Upper General River Basin (UGRB) in Costa Rica is presented, based ...

Costa Rica’s Caribbean coastline is the result of a complex tectonic setting coupled with dynamic geological, climatological, hydrological and ecological processes. Despite their importance in risk prevention and in land ...

The detailed geomorphological mapping provides information that allows one to make an detailed analysis of the elements which form the relief. These elements can be natural or derived from the anthropic action. The objective ...

Developing countries face more impacts due to natural hazards because of rapid urbanization, natural resources overexploitation, and lack of territorial management. Mexico City is one of the most populated metropolitan areas ...

By occupying an area of transition between three distinct relief compartiments (Atlantic Plateau, Sea Montain Range and Coastal Plain) and be geographically influenced by the complex relationship between Ocean and Continent ...

The geomorphological cartography at a scale of detail in the Brazilian semiarid presents several aspects to be considered, in order to consistently subsidize geomorphological research in local contexts. In this paper, we ...

This study aimed to discuss the coastal geomorphological dynamics and their implications for the adequate management. Thus, from the geomorphological mapping, the morphodynamic processes that characterize the relief ...

Despite the wide diversity of landforms, there are only a few geomorphological maps of the Chilean Central Andes. In this study, we present a detailed geomorphological map on a 1:50.000 scale for the Diguillín Valley (Ñuble ...

This study aimed at analyzing the geomorphologic dynamics and its relationship to human interference and ownership of relief, towards a systemic approach, through the interpretation, in an integrated manner, of cartographic ...
