1 Applications in Geomorphology

2 Applications in Geomorphology: Mass Movements Effects of geomorphic processes on tree growth Mudflow causing trees to fall and lean. Digging out a tree buried by adjacent hillside erosion, Milledgeville, central Georgia.

3 Applications in Geomorphology: Mass Movements Impact Scars can be dated.

4 Applications in Geomorphology: Mass Movements Effects of a snow avalanche on a white spruce. Impact Scars can be dated. Impact scars from ice flows/jams.

5 Applications in Geomorphology: Mass Movements Impact Scars can be dated.

6 Applications in Geomorphology: Mass Movements
