Tectonic geomorphology is the study of the interplay between tectonic and surface processes that shape the landscape in regions of active deformation and at time scales ranging from days to millions ...

"Geomorphology is the study of processes that shape the Earth's surface, move water and sediment around and result in landforms we see around us. We live on an extremely dynamic planet where constant ...

The size and morphology of coastal dunes is dependent on the complex interaction between controlling winds, sediment supply, and the geomorphology of the nearshore and beach environment. At the most ...

Geomorphology is the study of the evolution of the Earth’s surface. We address a wide array of landscapes with an equally broad set of tools and methods. We study the weathering of rock to produce ...

Geomorphology is the scientific discipline that investigates the origin, evolution, and spatial distribution of landforms and the processes that shape Earth’s surface across a range of temporal and ...

Geomorphology is “the scientific study of landforms and the processes that shape them“, which seems to make Google Earth an excellent tool for that kind of work. Holly Dolliver recently wrote a paper ...

Outgrowth of the 2007 GeoHab meeting held in Noumea, New Caledonia. Cf. pref. Why map benthic habitats? / Peter T. Harris and Elaine K. Baker -- Habitat mapping and marine management / Elaine K. Baker ...

The surface of Mars is an integrated record of the geological processes that have acted on the planet over its history. The geomorphic landforms provide evidence for constructional events as well as ...
