Geomorphological Features of Valley of Kupa from Severin to Ozalj

U ovom su radu metodom geomorfološke analize i sinteze istražena geomorfološka obilježja doline Kupe od Severina na Kupi do Ozlja. U sklopu geomorfološke analize obrađena su morfometrijska i morfogenetska obilježja reljefa. Morfometijska obilježja obuhvaćaju analizu hipsometrije, nagiba padina, vertikalne raščlanjenosti i ekspozicije padina. Analiza morfometrijskih obilježja, te pripadajuće karte izrađene su na temelju digitalnog modela reljefa korištenjem ArcGIS programskog paketa. Morfogenetska obilježja obuhvaćaju strukturno-geomorfološku i egzogeno-geomorfološku analizu reljefa. Strukturno-geomorfološkom analizom istražen je utjecaj geologije i tektonike na razvoj reljefa. Egzogeno-geomorfološkom analizom definirane su granice pojedinih morfogenetskih tipova reljefa te prepoznati svojstveni oblici i procesi. Izdvojeni su krški, fluviokrški, fluviodenudacijski i fluvialni morfogenetski tipovi reljefa. Geomorfološku sintezu predstavlja geomorfološka karta istraživanog područja mjerila 1:75 000.This thesis explored the geomorphological features of the Kupa valley from Severin na Kupi to Ozalj, using the method of geomorphological analysis and synthesis. As a part of the geomorphological analysis, morphometric and morphogenetic features of relief were examined. Morphometric features encompass hypsometry features, slope inclination, vertical relief dissection and slope aspect features. The analysis of morphometric features and the appropriate maps were made on the basis of digital elevation model by using ArcGIS program package. Morphogenetic features encompass structural-morphologic and exgeomorphologic features of relief. The influence of geology and tectonics on relief development was examined by structural-morphologic analysis. As part of the exogeomorfologic analysis, the borders of some morphogenetic relief types were defined and specific forms and processes were identified. Karst, fluviokarst, fluvial denudation, and fluvial morphogenetic types of relief are present on the area. Geomorphological synthesis is represented by a geomorphological map in scale 1: 75 000
