A hybrid geomorphological map is a combination of a classical geomorphological map and digital geomorphological information layers. The classical maps are hand drawn, utilize symbol-based legends and are printed as paper maps on a 1:10.000 scale. Digital information layers carry geospatial information that is stored in a geodatabase which is managed in a Geographic Information System (GIS). The digital geomorphological information layers include attributes that describe additional information on genesis of landforms, materials composition, process type and process activity, or other conditions. The geomorphological geodatabase serves as a repository for environmental information, which can flexibly be consulted by the end-user, e.g., for planning, land management, hazard assessment, or geoconservation purposes. Two types of geomorphological maps are presented. The first is an overvie...

Dat geldt ook voor het effect van mogelijk aanwezig water op de landschapsontwikkeling van de Rode Planeet. Met het vrijkomen van steeds meer nieuwe onderzoeksuitkomsten beginnen zich meer vastomlijnde ideeen te vormen over de rol van water in de geschiedenis van deze interessante planeet.

We present two methods, which have been developed in the mountains of the State of Vorarlberg (Austria), but have a wider application in alpine areas. The first is a region‐wide index‐based mapping of Vorarlberg that is designed with the purpose of generating, in a preliminary evaluation, an inventory of clusters of high geodiversity. The second method comprises detailed geomorphological mapping at a local scale and supports landscape planning and management by identifying potential geoconservation sites. The latter approach also enables the evaluation of the relationship between geodiversity and biotopes. We generated a geodiversity (index) map of Vorarlberg in a GIS showing the spatial distribution of a combination of six abiotic factors (subindices) expressed as numeric values in five classes. Both conventional and unconventional data sets were used, ranging from fiel...

The natural geodiversity was determined by the characteristic elements of coversand geomorphology (ridges and planes) and the western Peel fault (horst and graben). The geodiversity should increase by the impact of (pre)historical land management on soils and landforms. Regional deforestation, mainly related to forest grazing and shifting cultivation, started in the Neolithic. The main impact on the landscape was degradation of umbric to carbic podzols and of deciduous forest to heaths on well drained land surfaces. On valley bottoms and in geomorphological depressions, soil wetting was responsible for the transformation of umbric gleysols to histic gleysols or even histosols. The introduction of sedentary agriculture started in the Bronze Age around 1000 BC without more impact on landscape properties than continuing soil acidi...

Datasets were used to generate figures for publication: Hierarchical geomorphological mapping in mountainous areas. Matheus G.G. De Jong, Henk Pieter Sterk, Stacy Shinneman & Arie C. Seijmonsbergen. Submitted to Journal of Maps 2020, revisions made in 2021. All data is in MGI Austria GK West projected coordinate system (EPSG: 31254) and was clipped to the study area.

Model used to generate publication results:Hierarchical geomorphological mapping in mountainous areas Matheus G.G. De Jong, Henk Pieter Sterk, Stacy Shinneman & Arie C. Seijmonsbergen. Submitted to Journal of Maps 2020, revisions made in 2021.<br>This model creates tiers (columns) of geomorphological features (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) in the landscape of Vorarlberg, Austria, each with an increasing level of detail. The input dataset needed to create this 'three-tier-legend' is a geomorphological map of Vorarlberg with a Tier 3 category (e.g. 1111, for glacially eroded bedrock). The model then automatically adds Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 categories based on the Tier 3 code in the 'Geomorph' field. The model replaces the input file with an updated shapefile of the geomorphology of Vorarlberg, now including thre...
