title: A physical geography approach to predict vineyard occurrence using statistical methods in the Taurasi DOCG Terroir (Avellino Province, southern Italy)

description: This study applies a geographical-physical and statistical methodology to predict vineyard distribution in the Taurasi DOCG terroir, southern Italy. Integrating morpho-topographical, climatic, and pedological data through GIS-based logistic regression, it aims to refine vineyard site selection—traditionally guided by local expertise—via scientifically validated predictive tools. The Taurasi territory, marked by pronounced lithological and topographic heterogeneity and a viticulture-favorable climate, serves as an ideal case study. The model was developed using environmental variables, optimized through stepwise selection and Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) analysis, and validated using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. The resulting suitability map identifies areas most conducive to viticulture, emphasizing the importance of altitude, slope, aspect, and temperature in shaping vineyard potential. Despite sensitivity to environmental data quality, the approach demonstrates the value of integrating geospatial and statistical methods for informed spatial planning. The study reinforces the role of data-driven strategies in optimizing and sustainably managing viticultural landscapes.

title: Geomorphology of the Évettes alpine glacial landsystem: documenting the legacy of the Little Ice Age in the Western Alps, France

description: The end of the Little Ice Age (LIA) in the nineteenth century triggered glacial retreat across the Northern Hemisphere, leaving behind sediment-landform assemblages that preserve records of glacier behavior. Advances in high-resolution topographic data enable detailed analysis of these morphosedimentary records and their connection to glacial dynamics. This paper presents a geomorphological map of the Évettes Glacier forefield in the Western Alps, France. The mapping was produced using 10 cm resolution UAV photogrammetry and 40 cm resolution LiDAR datasets. Moraines, erratic boulders, glacial flutes, bedrock grooves and lineations, kames and other outwash deposits were mapped across over 1000 features, representing a comprehensive post-LIA retreat sequence. The geomorphological record indicates that the retreat of the Évettes Glacier was punctuated by stages of readvance and stillstand. The exceptional preservation and diversity of landforms suggest fast-flowing glacier dynamics and establish the Évettes landsystem as a key reference site for understanding alpine glacier behavior.

title: A time-series of evolving glacial geomorphology for Esjufjallajökull (Breiðamerkurjökull), southeast Iceland

description: This paper presents four glacial geomorphology maps depicting glacier retreat and landscape evolution between September 2021 and May 2023 at Esjufjallajökull, the central flow unit of Breiðamerkurjökull, southeast Iceland. The foreland, which deglaciated between 2010 and 2023, was mapped from repeat uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) survey data. A total of 16 landform types were identified, and their spatial distribution and morphological evolution provide valuable insights into ice and meltwater dynamics during deglaciation. The time-series reveals spatiotemporal variations in landform assemblages: a buried ice environment characterising the western study area, proglacial lakes, hummocky meltwater tracts and eskers dominating the central zone, and meltwater eroded spillways further east. The maps cover an area ranging from 2 to 5.4 km<sup>2</sup>, at a scale ranging between 1:4000 and 1:5000.

title: Salt diapirism constrained by the stratigraphical record of adjacent basins: the Estopanyà Syncline (South-Central Pyrenees, NE Iberian Peninsula)

description: The detailed geological mapping of structural and stratigraphical patterns within the sedimentary succession of the Estopanyà Syncline (South-Central Pyrenees) and surrounding structures provides insights into the evolution of the adjoining diapirs. The present-day stratigraphical and geometric relationships between the diapirs and flanking sedimentary units suggest distinct halokinetic evolution in the ESE and WNW sectors of the studied area. In the ESE sector, flanking successions are characterized by halokinetic breccias and overturned layer attitudes, indicative of an early salt inflation phase during the Late Cretaceous. The advance of the pyrenean compressional front produced the extrusion of these diapirs during the middle Ypresian. In the WNW sector, salt diapirism occurred lately, during the middle Eocene to Oligocene, due to the rotation of the Estopanyà Syncline and the welding of the pre-existing diapirs.

title: Geology of the central Kohistan Arc, Northern Swat, Kalam (NW, Pakistan), results of a new 1:50,000 scale geological mapping

description: The study area in, northern Swat, Pakistan represents a critical segment of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Kohistan arc. It is characterized by complex interplay of plutonic, volcanic and metamorphic systems, whose magmatic and tectonic relationships remains poorly constrained. The study aims to elucidate the tectonomagmatic evolution of the central-western Kohistan Arc, by providing a new detailed geological map (Ahmad et al., 2025b), based on field work combined with petrographic observations, geochemical, structural and age data. The geological map also integrates previous field data, which was carefully revisited during recent field studies. Macroscopic observations and age relationships of the key lithological units are defined, revealing a magmatic sequence of late Cretaceous to mid-Eocene plutonic rock suites intruding Cretaceous (meta?) volcanic and metasedimentary rocks. Plutonic rocks of the study area comprise the late Cretaceous Matiltan and Bhankhwarh granites, mafic to intermediate Paleocene to Early Eocene plutons like the Smoky diorite, and the Gabral and Deshai quartz diorites and associated gabbroic dykes and plugs, followed by the younger mid-Eocene Diwanger quartz monzonite, Shahibagh granodiorite, and Jut Banda granite. The foliation of the wall rocks runs NE–SW and dips steeply toward the northwest. Minor faults and shear zones are also present in the plutonic rocks. The present study improves the understanding of the geological evolution of the northern Swat Kohistan Arc.

title: Glacial and periglacial geomorphology of the Drang Drung, Haskira, and Pensilungpa glaciers, Trans-Himalayan Ladakh, India

description: Glacial geomorphological mapping is vital for understanding the role of glaciers in shaping landscapes, as well as glacier response to climate change. We present a glacial geomorphological map of the Drang Drung, Haskira, and Pensilungpa glaciers in Trans-Himalayan Ladakh, India. Mapping was conducted using a combination of high-resolution satellite imagery (Pléiades, SPOT, Planet) supplemented with Google Earth Pro and a 2 m resolution Pléiades Digital Surface Model (DSM). Our map provides a detailed inventory of glaciers and glacial landforms (see Main map), including over 12,000 features across a ∼320 km² area. Mapped features include landforms such as moraines, alluvial fans, flutes, rock glaciers, crevasses, and debris cones. The map was validated by carrying out extensive ground truthing in 2023 and 2024. The main map is projected at a 1:33,000 scale, and is designed to be utilised by glaciologists and geomorphologists to understand glacier dynamics, date landforms, and trace glacier evolution, while also helping mountaineers to plan safe routes.

title: Shoreline dynamics and cultural heritage sites in Kenya, Tanzania, and Senegal: integrating remote sensing and archaeological knowledge

description: Coastal areas in Africa are vital for settlement, livelihoods, and socio–economic development, and host diverse heritage sites from the early Stone Age to the present. However, these sites face growing threats from development and climate change. The absence of regional sea level models and digitized archaeological records hampers effective threat mapping and mitigation. A new digital dataset documents the distribution and characteristics of archaeological sites in Kenya, Tanzania, and Senegal. It combines diachronic coastal change analysis (1985–2022) using advanced remote sensing. This preliminary African study reveals coastline retreat near heritage sites in Mombasa (Kenya) and Tanga (Tanzania) and shoreline increase in the Saloum Delta (Senegal). Impacts vary, but many sites remain moderately affected. Still, land use changes, especially industrial and urban development, pose significant risks. These findings offer a valuable evidence base for policy development, adaptive management, and targeted actions to safeguard Africa's cultural heritage in changing coastal environments.

title: Geomorphology of Stansbury Peninsula, Nelson Island, Antarctic Peninsula

description: The proglacial landscapes of Antarctica offer critical insights into past and ongoing deglaciation processes and the impacts of climate change. This study presents the first geomorphological map of the proglacial part of Stansbury Peninsula (Rip Point) and Cariz Cabo Cape in the northern part of Nelson Island. We identify and characterise a variety of glacial, proglacial, paraglacial, and periglacial landforms using high-resolution drone imagery, fieldwork, and geological data. The defined landforms presented reflect a complex interplay of erosional and depositional processes shaped by multiple glacial advance-retreat cycles since the Last Glacial Maximum, with evidence for significant glacial activity during the Holocene. The presence of hyaloclastite and crystalline erratic boulders further contributes to the reconstruction of glacial dynamics in the region. Our findings provide a crucial dataset and baseline for studies on future Antarctic deglaciation, periglacial processes, and the expansion of proglacial landscapes driven by ongoing climate change.

title: Making a campus tourism e-map: the case of Wuhan University, China

description: Campus tourism has been flourishing across the globe in recent decades. Some universities pioneer the development of campus electronic maps (e-maps) so as to provide more efficient map-based services to visitors. However, existing campus e-maps, regarding the hierarchical ordering of elements and visualization strategies, generally adhere to the approaches designed for urban-scale e-maps, leading to the dilemma that the campus e-maps are limited in practical use. Using the case of Wuhan University in China, this study first presents the methodology for classifying campus e-map elements and organizing the campus e-map zoom levels from the perspective of tourists, further demonstrates the visualization strategies, and finally provides some guidelines for making campus e-maps. This research lays a solid foundation for hierarchically ordering map elements and zoom levels, shedding fresh insights for e-map design.
