Morphometric analysis of the North Liuleng Shan Fault in the northern Shanxi Graben System, China: Insights into active deformation pattern and fault evolution

Fluvial geomorphic parameters of the Shuiluo River Catchment and their tectonic implications, SE Tibetan Plateau

“…The study of these fault zones can reveal the tectonic activity and orogenic belt information in the periphery of the Tibetan Plateau, and then we can further analyze the uplift mechanism of the plateau (Li et al 2016;Wu et al 2023a, b). These fault and orogenic belts have been studied by many scholars (Wang et al 2008(Wang et al , 2014Li et al 2015Li et al , 2021Yan et al 2017;Chen et al 2020;Yin and Luo 2021;Tian et al 2023;Shi et al 2023;Luo et al 2023), which further enriched the research base of the Tibetan Plateau. Understanding the activity mechanisms and differential activity of these active faults is beneficial for understanding the characteristics of the Cenozoic tectonic landforms around the Tibetan Plateau and even the tectonic movements of the entire it and theirs tectonically implications.…”

“…Some geomorphic parameters such as mountain front sinuosity (SMF) (Amine et al 2020), fractal dimension (FD), normalized channel steepness index (k sn ) (Whipple and Tucker 1999), valley floor width-valley height ratio (VF) (Cannon 1976;Bull and Mcfadden 1977), and hypsometric integral (HI) (Strahler 1952), which can be used to quantitatively explore the characteristics of regional fluvial geomorphology, especially in some areas lacking ideal dating materials (Aier et al 2011;Lahiri and Sinha 2014;Amine et al 2020;Buczek and Górnik 2020;Ali et al 2021;Wang et al 2021;Yu et al 2022). Because the rivers are very sensitive to the tectonic uplift at the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, the use of fluvial geomorphology to study neotectonics has become the main direction of the academic community, and then many researches have been carried out (Su et al 2016;Fan et al 2018;Luo et al 2023). The study of the tectonic evolution history around the Tibetan Plateau focuses on its northeast and southeast edges (Chang et al 2015;Chen et al 2018;Gao et al 2019;Sun et al 2022;Wang et al 2022;Zhou et al 2023aZhou et al , 2023bTan et al 2023;Wu et al 2023a, b).…”

Morphometric analysis of Halda River basin, Bangladesh, using GIS and remote sensing techniques

“…Morphometric analysis of drainage basin indicates the mathematical and geometrical analysis of land surface characteristics such as configuration, shape and dimension [ 1 , 2 ]. Morphometric analysis is successfully carried out by measuring the linear, relief, aerial, and geometric properties of the drainage basin [ [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] ].…”

“…Basin area, basin length, stream network and order, length of streams and elevation of different locations in the drainage basin are the basic parameters measured through geospatial and hydrological analysis in the GIS environment [ 5 , [51] , [52] , [53] ]. Morphometric analysis of drainage basins has been conducted extensively by extracting morphometric parameters from SRTM-DEM using GIS software for different environmental, geologic, climatic and hydrologic settings across the world [ [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , 19 , [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] ]. However, the specific application of morphometric parameters measures the relationship with other factors or events such as neotectonic or geologic evolution, hydrological flow assessment, hazard investigation etc.…”
