Morphometric features of drumlins in Western Pomerania
In connection with the large number and regular shape of drumlins within particular fields, many students have used morphometric and geometric methods in order to find similarities in the features and in the spatial distribution of forms
. On the basis of the measurements of six morphometric parameters of drumlins in Western Pomerania, regions were defined having concentrations of the forms having similar features within one field, from the analysis of the frequency of occurrence. Besides, from
multiple regression analysis it was possible to define such independent variables as individual features of drumlins. The morphometric analysis used was treated as an initial stage for further field investigations in order to explain the morphogenesis
Morphometric controls and geomorphic responses on fans in the Southern Alps, New Zealand
Morphometric variables associated with 41 debris-flow and 18 fluvial fans and their basins in the Southern Alps of New Zealand are examined. The specific objectives are to test for significant differences between debris-flow and fluvial fans
and determine which morphometric variables can best differentiate the fans according to process; to investigate the relations between some morphometric variables at each type of fan; to attempt to explain the results of the morphometric analyses on the basis
of the underlying processes; and to explore the usefulness of morphometric thresholds for identification of debris-flow potential on fans.
Fractals and morphometric measures : is there a relationship?
This paper examines the application of fractal concepts to geomorphometry. The correlations between the fractal dimension (D) and the 24 traditional morphometric parameters used in this study are all very weak. This suggests that the fractal
Morfometrické charakteristiky sklonove asymetrickych udoli vybranych uzemi severni Moravy. (Morphometrical characteristics of valley asymmetry in some North Moravian regions)
The study deals with morphometrical data on asymetric valleys in the regions of Nizky Jesenik highland, Moravian Gate and hilly land of Hlucin in Northern Moravia and Silesia. Especially is shown the dependance between the index of asymetry
Aeolian dust ripples : their occurrence, morphometrical characteristics, dynamics and origin
In this paper, the main morphometric and dynamic properties of aeolian ripples formed in a wind tunnel during the deposition of natural, silt-sized dust particles over a flat horizontal surface are investigated. Two different (but counteracting
Variability of the morphometric characteristics of valley networks caused by variations in a scale
This article indicates the quantitative tools, with assistance of which it is possible to characterize the morphology (shape) of the valley network and determine their variability caused by the scale change. The monitored morphometric
The use of GIS-based digital morphometric techniques in the study of cockpit karst
The Cockpit Country is the type area for cockpit karst landforms. A detailed analysis of cockpit karst terrain is carried out using the latest GIS-based digital morphometric techniques in order to assess the nature of such terrain and provide
Morphometric analysis of the drainage network in the Modena and Reggio Emilia Apennines (Northern Italy)
basins of central Italy. The aim of the research is to carry out a preliminary morphometric characterisation of the Emilia Basin that, if supported by sample monitoring, should allow the correct management of these fluvial basins. - (NF)
High-magnitude landslide events on a limestone-scarp in central Germany : morphometric characteristics and climatic controls
parameters of different temporal scales (annual rainfall to extreme short-time rainfall events) are analyzed in the context of the given morphostructural, morphometric and geological setting.
Morphometric controls and basin response in the Cascade Mountains
Morphometric variables associated with 36 debris torrent, 78 snow avalanche, 45 composite debris torrent and snow avalanche and 14 streamflow basins in the Cascade Mountains of southwestern British Columbia, Canada are examined. The results show
different nature of these processes. The AA. explore the usefulness of selected morphometric characteristics for preliminary identification of debris torrent hazard.
The identification of debris torrent basins using morphometric measures derived within a GIS
The aim of this study is to explore the potential of DEM-derived morphometric measures within a GIS to advance the identification of drainage basins subject to debris torrent activity. Logistic regression and discriminant analysis indicate
that the standard deviations of slope gradient and slope aspect are the strongest predictors of the variables tested. The results suggest that important morphometric indicators of debris torrent activity can be derived from DEMs, thus providing a systematic basis
Areas of land-cover forms and calculation of their morphometric parameters
Selected vector quantitative methods evaluate areas or regions. Calculations of spatial morphometric parametres, namely of frequency, area and circumference, spatial orientation of a region are presented. The mentioned methods are shown
