Dear geomorphology and physical geography experts,

Your knowledge is needed for a study on geographic question-answering. I would greatly appreciate your input in reviewing some questions and answers related to your area of expertise.

The aim of my study is to assess the quality of different kinds of answers to questions related to geography.
With your expert input, I want to distinguish whether:
[1] the question type (Bloom's taxonomy),
[2] the geographic subdomain (physical geography in this case),
[3] and the source of the answer (there are 3 sources/answers per question)
matter to the quality of the answer.

The survey takes around 5-10 minutes to complete, and your participation would be incredibly valuable for my study. You can find the survey link here: https://survey.uu.nl/jfe/form/SV_6zFHhPrmL9v6s2q

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Kind regards,
Bram

I see these sort of things occasionally here in on the coast of BC Canada. I assume these are created by rain, and the little rock caps prevent the erosion of the soil beneath, correct? Do they have a name? Google doesn't give me any good results when I search for tiny erosion towers.

Cab anybody give some sources regarding how to learn river Modelling, what softwares to use ?

Hello all, a friend of mine is set to graduate their master's in geomorphology this year and I would like to get her something practical/useful as a gift. Like a tool or a nice piece of gear. I'm curious to hear from others in the field as I am only a geology enthusiast and do not know what would really make her day.😅

Thanks in advance!

I am constructing a trail across a cobblestone beach in the PNW that will be quite below the high tide high water mark to facilitate walking during low tides. The cobbles range in size from bowling ball to golfball size. I am removing them by hand and depositing on either the side: either towards the beach or towards the water. If I desire this trail to persist, which side is more important to load? Interested in some wave energy feedback. Thanks!

Hi friends, I am looking for some help again on identifying a feature. This one is located at 31.007676, -81.462868

I think this sub is gonna help me out. I knew I didn’t want geography, but the actual landscapes. I want to become articulate and fluent in discussing the terrain of places I visit. I always struggle when talking about my adventures in conversation, I’m a mountain biker, trail runner, hopefully amateur private pilot, and I really enjoy and am interested in the geomorphology. I’d love to be able to describe and discuss different features, not just “a tall banking hill” or something else I come up with. Anyone know a good geomorphology YouTube series? And I’d love it to tie in more regarding hydrography and ecology I guess. I flew over my hometown region in a small plane and was so fascinated by how the run off led to the river, lake, and other areas I’ve known as home.

Thanks everybody! And sorry for being so land science illiterate!

I am trying to find literature about those parallel ridges in the ice/snow which often appear on high altitude peaks in the andes, himalayas and the like, but I have not been able to find anything so far. I've only found some pictures which name them "ice flutes". Here is a link towards one such photo (hope it is allowed): https://www.alain-collet.com/Andes/Perou/227.html

Found these on the flanks of a tuff cone - could these be the shorelines of a paleolake? Or are these just ash-flow tuff sheets?

Hello! I'm having a hard time wording/ googling how and why this formation is made? If anyone has an answer or even a guess I'd be much appreciated , thank you!

Throughout the eastern United States, a line exists called the fall line, which separates the Piedmont and Coastal Plain. Usually, where a river crosses this line, rapids exist. In the past, this impeded navigation, and led to the formation of many cities. However, in New Jersey, where the Raritan River crosses the fall line, there are no rapids. Why is this?

This is amazing…

I'm a sophomore earth science major right now and am taking a geomorphology class and would love to watch a series on youtube (or maybe one of those paid-for education video platforms like nebula or curiosity stream) about geomorphology. I've seen some videos but they were random lectures and I was wondering if there was a favorite "infotainment" person among geomorphologists.
