The landscape of the surroundings of the Melka Kunture prehistoric site, Upper Awash Basin, Ethiopia, were studied intensively in the last decades. Nonetheless, the area was mainly characterized under a stratigraphic/geological and archaeological point of view. However, a detailed geomorphological map is still lacking. Hence, in this study, we identify, map and visualize geomorphological forms and processes. The morphology of the forms, as well as the related processes, were remotely sensed with available high-resolution airborne and satellite sources and calibrated and validated through extensive field work conducted in 2013 and 2014. Furthermore, we integrated multispectral satellite imagery to classify areas affected by intensive erosion processes and/or anthropic activities. The Main Map at 1:15,000 scale reveals structural landforms as well as intensive water-related degradation processes in the Upper Awash Basin. Moreover, the map is available as an interactive WebGIS application providing further information and detail (www.roceeh.net/ethiopia_geomorphological_map/).

在过去的几十年中，对埃塞俄比亚上阿瓦斯盆地的梅尔卡·肯特（Melka Kunture）史前遗址周围的景观进行了深入研究。尽管如此，该地区的主要特征还是地层/地质和考古学角度。但是，仍然缺少详细的地貌图。因此，在这项研究中，我们确定，映射和可视化了地貌形式和过程。通过可用的高分辨率机载和卫星源对形态的形态以及相关过程进行了遥感，并通过2013年和2014年进行的广泛野外工作进行了校准和验证。此外，我们整合了多光谱卫星图像以对受影响区域进行分类通过密集的侵蚀过程和/或人类活动。在1:15的主地图，000尺度揭示了上部灌水盆地的构造地貌以及与水有关的密集退化过程。此外，该地图还可以作为交互式WebGIS应用程序使用，提供了更多信息和详细信息（www.roceeh.net/ethiopia_geomorphologic_map/）。
