The study used geomorphic indices to investigate how differential rock uplift imprints the shaping of the Phetchabun Mountain ranges and their adjacent basin in Central Thailand, a region characterized by complex Cenozoic tectonic activity. We used high-resolution DEMs, morphometric indices, including basin-averaged channel steepness, concavity, chi plots, and knickpoint mapping, which we evaluated across 94 watersheds along the western and eastern ranges. The results show a systematic north–south gradient in channel steepness and mean elevation, with higher values in the north reflecting stronger cumulative uplift, and lower values in the south indicating reduced rock uplift and incision. The central watersheds, however, display the strongest transient signals, as indicated by major slope-break knickpoints and convex chi plots, suggesting a response to localized fault reactivation along the Phetchabun Fault Zone. Statistical analysis confirms tectonics as the dominant control on landscape morphology, while precipitation, lithology, and sediment supply support the view that the depositional systems were mainly driven by tectonic uplift. Field-based evidence, including triangular facets, shutter ridges, offset streams, and alluvial fans, supports syn-tectonic construction and the conclusion that relative uplift is the dominant force. Overall, the findings demonstrate that tectonic uplift, expressed through both transient adjustments and cumulative long-term relief, is the primary driver of topographic evolution in the Phetchabun Mountain ranges, with implications for regional tectonic hazards and landscape development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"494 ","pages":"Article 110110"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145624603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, we reconstructed historical sediment-laden floods in twelve subcatchments using paleostage indicators from trees and different empirical equations. We also included in-situ hourly climate data and long-term sediment records along the main river. Our results provide insights into the seasonal occurrence of sediment-laden floods in the region. More than 72 % of the events occurred during the pre-typhoon period, but typhoon-related flows exhibited higher rainfall intensities (9.6 ± 3.3 mm/h) and peak discharges (233.4 ± 145.5 m<sup>3</sup>/s) compared to non-typhoon events (6.8 ± 3.2 mm/h and 171.6 ± 90.9 m<sup>3</sup>/s, respectively). This implies that typhoon-related flows are more intense, whereas the more frequent non-typhoon events can significantly contribute to time-averaged sediment volumes. Yet, our findings further indicate that sediment transfer differs between tributaries and the main Oi River: while tributaries experienced episodic sediment transfer events linked to debris flows and landslides, the main river showed more sustained sediment transfer patterns driven by fluvial processes. These results underscore the influence of temporary sediment storage in the Oi River basin, which acts as a buffer to downstream sediment transfer during moderate events. This study also highlights the importance of integrating event dating techniques with hydraulic and geomorphic approaches in order to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of sediment-laden flows.

The northern Antarctic Peninsula, particularly the South Shetland Islands, offers unique conditions for such studies due to extensive ice-free zones, glacial history, and rapidly changing environments. This research focuses on Byers Peninsula (BP), the largest ice-free area of the archipelago, characterized by a well-developed drainage system previously studied and mapped. This paper expands knowledge of channel development, water flow, and related morphologies, relevant for understanding other ice-free Antarctic regions. Morphometric analyses were conducted on 26 streams, alongside evaluation of channel equilibrium in three selected watersheds. Water flow was monitored for two years in two streams using data loggers, with complementary field data from a third. Seven morphotypes were distinguished within a theoretical watershed, including diffuse drainage, platform lakes, braided systems, canyons, cutting raised platforms, open braided channels, entrenched channels on raised beaches, lagoons and/or small fans. Results highlight significant variability in channel size and hydraulic properties across sub-basins. Southern BP streams reveal higher fluvial energy, while Western streams, draining larger basins with higher stream orders, display more advanced fluvial development and concentrate the main systems of the region. Basin orientation, glacier proximity, and topography emerged as key factors shaping channel dimensions, while glacial lake outburst floods strongly influenced morphology and sediment dynamics.

The findings indicate that topography in the erosion zone significantly influences the spatial distribution of deposits, including compression, tension, and arcuate uplift. Impact erosion of the sliding body significantly influences the topographic relief. Deflected terrain can induce fluid-like behavior in the sliding mass, characterized by brief intensification followed by rapid attenuation, thereby enhancing both acceleration and dispersal. Erosion mechanisms vary based on the contact angle between the sliding body and the underlying topography, with erosion-related physical quantities revealing the dominant influence of terrain features. Notably, intersections with side boundaries generate substantial lateral pressure, intensifying basal scraping and promoting movement, especially on slopes with aspects between 15° to 30°. Sliding masses exhibit greater mobility within gullies than smooth slopes, although excessive curvature may inhibit erosion. These findings deepen our understanding of topographic control over erosion and sliding effects in rock avalanches, offering a theoretical basis for disaster prevention and mitigation strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"493 ","pages":"Article 110078"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145468385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These processes drive the formation of reef systems and are critical to determining the future of coral reef environments in a changing global climate. Despite this, limited <em>in-situ</em> research from the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) into the interactions between spurs and grooves (SaG) and forereefs currents is available. Here we analyse the first dataset of current measurements from a coral forereef SaG system in the GBR and assess forereef currents adjacent to a large reef lagoon that is isolated from the open ocean during low tides. We find that under prevailing weather conditions, waves are low (Hs = 0.25 m) and oblique to forereef isobaths. Currents in SaG under low wave exposure exhibit high velocity (2 m/s) with a dominant offshore component driven by surf zone processes and lagoonal outflow. This is consistent with postulated mechanisms of constructional development of SaG whereby offshore flow transports sediments seaward of the forereef, providing a substrate for coral larvae and living coral fragments to attach. These <em>in-situ</em> observations provide the first evidence from the GBR linking prevalent hydrodynamic conditions to the morphological evolution of coral forereef spur and groove systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"493 ","pages":"Article 110072"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145384209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
