Extractions: Small mudflows on the eroding walls of Fraser River Canyon north of Lillooet, BC. The river has cut through thick deposits of sediment laid down during the last glaciation (Photographer: B. Eaton) Geomorphology is the study of the processes that have shaped the Earth's surface. At UBC, research in geomorphology is focussed on fluvial processes and landforms, particularly in mountainous regions, and on glacial processes and Quaternary landscape history. An emerging research direction in our geomorphology program involves studying the interaction between the various geomorphic processes at the scale of entire watersheds and landscapes. While most of our research is quantitatively based and emphasizes measurement, modeling, and prediction of contemporary geomorphic processes, we are also interested in reconstructing the recent geomorphic history of our planet, particularly in areas that have been recently glaciated. Our work is conducted at field sites in Canada and around the world; in our recently constructed hydraulics laboratory that houses several flumes of various sizes; and using numerical and theoretical models constructed at various spatial and temporal scales. We have a long tradition of studying the geomorphic impact of land use changes, riparian forest disturbance, and aquatic eco-hydraulics on fluvial systems, as well as the link between Quaternary glaciations and the function and structure of the contemporary landscape of glaciated environments. As a result, many of our projects are interdisciplinary, and involve collaborators with expertise in

Getty Images/Tom Brakefield zSB(3,3) Geomorphology is defined as the science of landforms with an emphasis on their origin, evolution, form, and distribution across the physical landscape. An understanding of geomorphology and its processes is therefore essential to the understanding of physical geography Although the study of geomorphology has been around since ancient times, the first official geomorphologic model was proposed between 1884 and 1899 by the American geographer, William Morris Davis . His geomorphic cycle model was inspired by theories of uniformitarianism and attempted to theorize the development of various landform features.

Extractions: Jump to: navigation search [[es:Geomorfolog�a]] Geomorphology is the study of present-day landforms , including their classification, description, nature, origin, development, and relationships to underlying structures, as well as the history of geologic changes as recorded by these surface features. The term is sometimes restricted to features produced only by erosion and deposition (geology) . Although geomorphology tends to focus on terrestrial landforms, the surfaces of the Moon and Mars are now sufficiently well-known for morphological analysis to be applied there as well. Geomorphology is fundamentally inspired by the shapes of the terrain we see every day; the meandering course of a river , the rounded shapes of some hills and the pointed shapes of others, the seemingly-random capes and bays of a coastline . While it is generally accepted that, for instance, water erodes rock over a long period of time, that doesn't answer the question of whether any particular landform was created by water erosion, how long ago, whether wind played a role also, and so forth. Geomorpology delves into these questions in depth, seeking both to explain origins, and so to provide predictive power that can be used in activities such as civil engineering Some geomorphologists identify a taxonomy of landforms, sorted by magnitude:

Extractions: Jump to: navigation search For other uses, see Physiographic regions of the world Surface of the Earth Geomorphology (from Greek: γη, ge , "earth"; μοϝφή, morfé , "form"; and λόγος, logos , "knowledge") is the scientific study of landforms and the processes that shape them. Geomorphologists seek to understand why landscapes look the way they do: to understand landform history and dynamics, and predict future changes through a combination of field observation, physical experiment, and numerical modeling. Geomorphology is practiced within geology , engineering geology, geodesy geography , archaeology, and geological engineering. Early studies in geomorphology are the foundation for pedology, one of two main branches of soil science. Landforms evolve in response to a combination of natural and anthropogenic processes. The landscape is built up through uplift and volcanism. Denudation occurs by erosion and mass wasting, which produces sediment that is transported and deposited elsewhere within the landscape or off the coast. Landscapes are also lowered by subsidence, either due to tectonics or physical changes in underlying sedimentary deposits. These processes are each influenced differently by climate, ecology, and human activity. Practical applications of geomorphology include measuring the effects of climate change, hazard assessments including landslide prediction and mitigation, river control and restoration, coastal protection, and assessing the presence of water on Mars.

Extractions: Geomorphology i s an academic discipline. It is scientific in approach. It attempts to explain features found and processes operating upon the surface of the earth. Research in geomorphology is mostly carried out in the empirical, analytical, reductionistic traditions of modern science. The approach includes information gathering in the field and testing of hypotheses. Efforts are taken to replicate and to generalise results. Many universities teach geomorphology (it is generally offered as a group of subjects). At schools in Australia, it is frequently covered as a part of geography , although aspects of landforms are also usually covered in science

Extractions: Research in Surface Processes is aimed at understanding complex interactions among sediment transport and water flow, the evolution of landscapes from micro to macro scales, the rates of surface denudation as a function of climate and tectonic forcing, and the response of terrestrial systems to anthropogenic change. At Boston University, research in Geomorphology typically involves extensive fieldwork buttressed by detailed numerical modeling, laboratory experimentation, chemical analyses, and radiometric control using state-of-the-art techniques and facilities available in our Department. See also the closely related Hydrology and Coastal and Marine Sciences research groups. Our department offers graduate research in Surface Processes leading to M.A. and Ph.D. degrees , as well undergraduate degrees in both Earth Sciences and in Environmental Earth Sciences . In addition, members of the Surface Processes research group participate in the new Terrestrial Biogeosciences Ph.D. certificate program offered jointly by the departments of Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment, and Biology.

Extractions: Sea Level Home Hazards of Sea Level Rise: An Introduction by Stacy Archfield Sea level has fluctuated by an order of 100 meters over the last 18,000 years [Michener et al., 1997]. Global sea level can change due to three factors: 1-Change in the volume of the ocean basins, 2-Expansion or shrinking of ocean water due to changes in climate and 3-Periods of worldwide glacial advance and retreat [Davis, 1997]. Human impact has no control over changing the volume of the ocean basins. However, the greenhouse effect can cause the ocean to gather thermal inertia that will heat the continents and slowly melt the polar ice caps, increasing sea level worldwide [Michener et al., 1997]. The effects of sea level rise will be spatially non-uniform since GIA will cause some areas to uplift and others to subside [Gornitz, 1991]. Furthermore, the characteristics of a given coastline are controlled by many different variables, including interactions between lithology, geomorphology, wave climate, currents and storm frequencies [Gornitz, 1991]. Gornitz defines the following terms to be used in talking about coastal hazard assessments: Gornitz also states "sea level rise is a global-scale, long-term hazard, which may, in the long run, inflict greater damage [to a coastline] than that of a hurricane. Eustatic sea level rise over the next century will be the sum of the individual contributors from thermal expansion of sea water and ice melting from alpine glaciers and the polar ice sheets."

Extractions: in Austria and in the Alps Ancient course of the Danube valley through the Bohemian Massif When the Alps collided with the B.M., it rose several hundred meters, producing vast amounts of erosional debris, which was sedimented in the Molasse Sea (S of the B.M.). When the sediments had filled up the basin (from W to E), river Danube drained the resulting plain. Different from today, it reached the sea N of Vienna (which is 1900km away from the sea today), without any need to use the Gap of Vienna. In the Miocene, the B.M. rose further, shifting its S rim to the S. This caused tremendous erosion and the slopes steepened. So far, the Danube could compensate the rise by erosion: It cut a small "canyon" through the B.M., flowing through today's Ysper Valley passing Laimbach and Poeggstall until it met the recent Danube Valley at Spitz (the Ysper Valley may have looked like today's Wachau, with steep slopes and water falls - the Ysper gorge remained). Later, the course to Spitz dried up, forcing the Danube to flow from Poeggstall through the Weiten Valley to Melk. Finally, it also left the Ysper Valley and found its recent course via Ybbs, Poechlarn, Melk, Spitz (Wachau) and Krems.
