Elevational ranges of pioneer marsh species are site specific and likely shaped by different abiotic and biotic factors by Charlotte S. Steinigeweg, Ole J. Siebeneicher, Boris Schröder, Michael Kleyer, Kertu Lõhmus, Swantje Löbel

“…Abstract Salt marshes are dynamic systems whose landscape structure and resilience to disturbance depend on bio‐geomorphological interactions. The ecological niches of salt marsh plants are asserted to be organized along an elevational gradient, determining the impact of abiotic factors such as soil aeration, flooding, and salinity, which generate the typical salt marsh zonation. …”

Fingerprints of surface flows on solid substrates ablated by phase change: from laboratory experiments to planetary landscapes by Carpy, Sabrina, Berhanu, Michael, Chaigne, Martin, Courrech du Pont, Sylvain

“…Understanding the diversity of these patterns is key to assessing the environmental conditions under which they form on planets such as Mars or Pluto, where phase changes play a very important geomorphological role.…”

Evaluation of linear, nonlinear and ensemble machine learning models for landslide susceptibility assessment in southwest China by Bingwei Wang, Qigen Lin, Tong Jiang, Huaxiang Yin, Jian Zhou, Jinhao Sun, Dongfang Wang, Ran Dai

“…It is advisable to consider various evaluation metrics from different perspectives and integrate them with specialist qualitative geomorphological empirical knowledge to determine the best model. (3) The Gini index-based RF model suggests that road density was the dominant factor in the frequency of landslides in the study area.…”

Unraveling landslide failure mechanisms with seismic signal analysis for enhanced pre-survey understanding by J.-M. Chang, J.-M. Chang, C.-M. Yang, W.-A. Chao, W.-A. Chao, C.-S. Ku, M.-W. Huang, M.-W. Huang, T.-C. Hsieh, C.-Y. Hung

“…By combining the above mechanism with geomorphological features identified during field surveys, such as the imbrication-like feature in the deposits and the gravitational slope deformation, with video from the event, we can infer the failure mechanism of retrogression of Event 1 after shear-off from the toe. …”

Massive permafrost rock slide under a warming polythermal glacier deciphered through mechanical modeling (Bliggspitze, Austria) by F. Pfluger, S. Weber, S. Weber, J. Steinhauser, C. Zangerl, C. Fey, J. Fürst, M. Krautblatter

“…We (a) have analyzed the glacier transition since 1971 using aerial photographs coincident to meteorological data; (b) compared 2013–2016 ground surface temperature measurements to infer permafrost-prone and cold glacier thermal conditions; (c) categorized springs mapped in summer 2001/2012 according to geomorphological features and mineralization; (d) performed electrical resistivity tomography subsequent to failure on the destabilized rock flank in 2009; (e) conducted rock testing in frozen and unfrozen conditions; and (f) modeled the mechanical impact of hydrostatic pressure, degradation of permafrost, and glacier retreat in a universal distinct element code (UDEC). …”

Des vestiges d’un possible aqueduc à Lyon, à l’angle des rues Appian et des Fossés-de-Trion by Tony Silvino

“…It does not seem likely that they had a drainage function, given their topographical location, their profiles and the absence of soil preparation, as geomorphological analysis has demonstrated. At the same time, these structures do not appear to be roads, for example connecting the Trion valley in the north-west to Point-du-Jour plateau in the south-east, since there are no signs of hardtop preparation at the bottom of the structures. …”
