The study of drainage network response to uplift is important not only for understanding river
system dynamics and associated channel properties and fluvial landforms, but also for …

We present a new method for evaluating relative active tectonics based on geomorphic
indices useful in evaluating morphology and topography. Indices used include: stream …

The pattern of fluvial incision across the Himalayas of central Nepal is estimated from the
distribution of Holocene and Pleistocene terraces and from the geometry of modern …

Tectonic activity of SE Spain is evaluated through the application of a general morphometric
analysis over 17 different mountain fronts. The selected fronts are distributed along the two …

The Sierra Nevada of the central Betic Cordillera is a 3000m-high mountain range
surrounded by Neogene–Quaternary sedimentary basins, having been uplifted since Late …

Historical seismicity provides only a partial indication of the seismotectonic character (ie
earthquake potential) of a given region. Even in Italy, where a relatively long historical …

Recent theoretical models suggest that topographic characteristics of bedrock channels are
products of interactions among tectonics, substrate resistance, and the climatically …

Spatial variations of Quaternary deformation and tectonic activity of faults along the
Acambay graben are assessed using geomorphic and morphometric approaches. The …

Landscapes in tectonically active Hindu Kush (NW Pakistan and NE Afghanistan) result from
a complex integration of the effects of vertical and horizontal crustal block motions as well as …

Neotectonics is a major factor controlling landform development in tectonically active
regions, and it has significantly affected fluvial systems and mountain-front landscapes in the …
