Although it is well documented that mountains tend to exhibit high biodiversity, how geological processes affect the assemblage of montane floras is a matter of ongoing research. Here, we explore ...

Landform classification studies are prerequisites for recognizing regional geomorphic patterns and are urgently needed to explore the process of landform development and evolution. Taking the Tibetan ...

An odd, previously unseen landform could provide a window into the geological history of Mars, according to new research by University of Washington geologists. They call the structures periodic ...

What a landform is and the different types of rock that make a landform. Scientists will spend time learning what a landform is and the different types of rock that make a landform. / Chris Frills, ...

PACIFIC CITY, Ore. — Scott Burns, professor emeritus in geology at Portland State University, thought he had seen it all — until he saw a couple of photos of an extremely rare sand formation on the ...

Landform Evolution Modeling (LEM) Group Core Functions We perform computer modeling of the interaction of different landform-evolving processes acting upon a planetary surface. By comparing the ...
