&lt;div&gt;identify the underlain soil types and determine the connection between badlands and climatic changes&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;during Quaternary. The area along the southern coast of the Central Corinth graben, near the town of&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Derveni (North Peloponese) was chosen as a case study, since extended erosion landforms display&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;geomorphological characteristics, typical of badlands. The area is built up by Plio-Quaternary lacustrine&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;clays with intercalations of distal parts of the fan deltas deposits and records an intensive structural&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;elevation from Pliocene until today.&amp;nbsp;The study focuses on the main factors that contributed in the formation and evolution of badlands in the&amp;nbsp;area, with strong emphasis on geological structure, climatic and sea-level changes and human activity, as&amp;nbsp;well as on the interaction of these factors. It concludes in a geomorphological map with the badlands&amp;nbsp;distribution and discusses the impacts on land degradation and the possible actions against further&amp;nbsp;expansion&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
