Modeling alpine geomorphology using laser altimetry data

A novel numerical approach to the study of riverbed morphometric and hydrological characteristics

Reliable prediction of riverbed evolution remains limited by the lack of high‑resolution morphometric data, especially for large rivers flowing through easily erodible soils. This study develops and implements a comprehensive numerical framework designed to reconstruct detailed riverbed geometry by combining multi‑sour...

3D models from geological maps: strengths and weaknesses from the Pasubio Massif (Southern Alps)

3D geological models provide digital representations of subsurface architecture and are increasingly applied in both academic research and industry. Their construction can follow implicit or explicit approaches, depending on data availability and final modelling applications. While 3D models based on subsurface data ar...

Geomorphic insights for seismic hazard assessment using high-resolution digital elevation models in urban environments

A 3D Geological Framework for Conceptual Hydrogeological Modelling of a Structurally Complex Aquifer System: Insights from the SE Tagus–Sado Basin, Iberian Pyrite Belt, Portugal

Groundwater is a critical resource for ecological sustainability and socio-economic development, but it is increasingly threatened by climate change and anthropogenic pressures. In southern Europe, particularly in Portugal, declining groundwater availability has become a major concern in recent years. This study focuse...

Integrating Geomorphological Susceptibility Indices and UAS-LiDAR Data Coastal Erosion Monitoring: The Agri River Mouth Case Study (Southern Italy)

Qualitative and quantitative estimation of coastal susceptibility is crucial for risk management, especially for coastal landscapes prone to sea-level rise and increasing human pressure. Geomorphological-based indices, utilizing physical variables like shoreline change and spatial extent of dune ridges, represent a con...

Numerical Simulation of Sediment Transport and Morphological Evolution in the Talas River Using a Non-Newtonian Model

Changes in river channel morphology under the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors pose a serious threat to the stability of aquatic ecosystems and water resource use, especially in regions with limited hydrological information. This study presents, for the first time, a three-dimensional numerical investigat...
