Large debris avalanche and associated eruptive event at Samalas volcano, Lombok, Indonesia

We propose a vast area in the middle of Lombok, Indonesia, dominated by hummock hills, is a debris avalanche deposit (DAD). We define this > 500 km2 area as Kalibabak DAD that may originate from Samalas volcano. No descriptions of the morphology, stratigraphy, mechanism, and age of this DAD have yet been reported; this contribution bridges this res...

Projecting the response of ecological risk to land use/land cover change in ecologically fragile regions.

Published in The Science of the total environment

Anthropogenic activities have dramatically altered land use/land cover (LULC), leading to ecosystem service (ES) degradation and further ecological risks. Ecological risks are particularly serious in ecologically fragile regions because trade-offs between economic development and ecological protection are prominent. Thus, ways in which to assess th...

Age-depth model for uppermost Ndutu Beds constrains Middle Stone Age technology and climate-induced paleoenvironmental c...

Published in Journal of human evolution

Olduvai Gorge in northern Tanzania is part of a globally important archeological and paleoanthropological World Heritage Site location critical to our understanding of modern human evolution. The Ndutu Beds in the upper part of the geological sequence at Olduvai Gorge represent the oldest unit to yield modern Homo sapiens skeletal material and Midd...

Impacts of volcanic eruptions on the landscape evolution of Lombok Island, Indonesia

Volcanic eruptions in Indonesia and other parts of the world have had many impacts, both physical and social. However, only limited studies combine the investigation of physical and social impacts in a single eruption, especially for past events. The investigation of these issues is applied to Lombok Island, in this thesis, primarily assessing the ...

Pedoanthracology sheds light the ancientness of the pastoral highlands of three mediterranean mountain: Sierra de Gredos...

The Mediterranean mountain zone is probably one of the parts of the world with the longest documented history of interactions between vegetation, climate, and human activities. The twofold objective of the present study was to examine and compare changes in three silvopastoral mountain areas, and to identify the natural and human processes that hav...

Spatio-temporal evolution of landscape patterns in an oasis city.

Published in Environmental science and pollution research international

Studying the spatial-temporal evolution of oasis urban landscape patterns can provide a unique reference for future sustainable development. This study aimed to characterize the spatio-temporal evolution of landscape patterns in the past 20 years. The remote sensing and spatial analysis techniques included land transfer matrix, orientation evolutio...

Movimentos naturais de massa na Serra do Divisor no extremo oeste da Amazônia Ocidental.

Os movimentos de massa, também conhecidos como deslizamento, escorregamentos e erosões, que causam a desagregação e transporte do solo, ocasionado por fatores naturais como precipitação, terremotos ou ventos. Estes eventos têm impactos ambientais e/ou sociais, dependendo do contexto geográfico que estão inseridos. O presente trabalho teve como obje...
