Transferring Google Earth observations to GIS-software: example from gully erosion study
High-resolution images available on Google Earth are increasingly being consulted in geographic studies. However, most studies limit themselves to visualizations or on-screen measurements. Google Earth allows users to create points, lines and polygons on-screen, which can be saved as KML files. Here, the use of R statistics freeware is proposed to easily convert these files to the shapefile for...
متن کاملGully Erosion after Wildfire
Predicting runoff and erosion from watersheds burned by wildfires requires an understanding of the spatial structure of both hillslope and channel drainage networks. We investigate the small-scale and large-scale structures of drainage networks using field studies and computer analysis of 30-m digital elevation model. Topologic variables were derived from a composite 30-m DEM, which included 14...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Possibility to Prepare Supervised Classification Map of Gully Erosion by RS and GIS
This study investigates the possibility providing gully erosion map by the supervised classification of satellite images (ETM) in two mountainous and plain land types. These land types were the part of Varamin plain, Tehran province, and Roodbar subbasin, Guilan province, as plain and mountain land types, respectively. The position of 652 and 124 ground control points were recorded by GPS respe...
متن کاملGully Formation on Mars and Earth: the Transition from Glacial Activity to Gully Depositional Phases
Introduction: The discovery of gullies on Mars [1,2] resulted in a wide variety of proposed candidate mechanisms for formation but ensuing analyses have shown very strong latitude and orientation dependencies on their distributions [3-6]. These constraints have been interpreted to require: 1) a volatile on or near the surface as a source of liquid water, and 2) insolation and slope orientation ...
متن کامل3d Gis Application by Implementing 3d City Model with Google Earth and Google Map Integration
Because of the rapid technological developments in web based geographical information systems, web based map applications and visual tours with 3d models, web applications are getting more indispensable part of presenting geographical information systems through web. In web based geographical information systems, the visualization is more important than desktop information systems. For the need...
