Cover Story: Landform series and their sedimentary deposits are the result of aeolian, mass wasting, cryogenic, fluvial, coastal–marine and lacustrine processes. The mapping of landforms and illustrating the trends and composition of their sedimentary deposits are tools to describe and numerically constrain the land-forming processes and the physical–chemical regime of formation (Eh and pH). Climate zonation and crustal maturity are the exogenous and endogenous “drivers”. This approach bridges the gap between a review and a hybrid manual fed by data generated by field work devoted to applied geosciences in extractive and environmental geology (“E & E issue”). View this paper.

In this study, six basic Quaternary landform series (LFS) and their sedimentary deposits (LFS1 aeolian, LFS 2.1 to 2.2 mass wasting, LFS 3 cryogenic-glacial, LFS 4.1 to 4.6 fluvial, LFS 5.1 to 5.2 coastal-marine, LFS 6.1 to 6.3 lacustrine) are subdiv...

The origin of the man on Earth is directly associated with the determination of directions of the flow distribution of the ancient man dispersal to adjacent territories. In such studies, mainly landscape and climatological changes are traditionally c...

Planktonic foraminifera are one of the most stratigraphically important groups of organisms for the Cretaceous system. However, standard foraminiferal zonations based mostly on species from the Tethyan bioprovince are hardly applicable in temperate r...

Sediment delivery and supply are explicitly controlled by variations in broad-scale processes such as climate, tectonics and eustasy. These in turn influence fluvial processes and hinterland evolution. A bespoke multi-proxy approach (integrating apat...
