Geographical Information System and Remote Sensing are tools which integrated can perform different environmental analysis. The Netherlands ITC (Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences) developed in 1984 on Integrated Land and Water Information System (ILWIS), that combines raster (satellite image and aerial photo analysis), vector and thematic data operations in one comprehensive int...

This study aims at the detection of gully-affected areas by applying object-based image analysis in the region of Taroudannt, Morocco, which is highly affected by gully erosion while simultaneously representing a major region of agro-industry with a high demand of arable land. As high-resolution optical satellite data are readily available from various sensors and with a much better temporal re...

Mangrove forests are dynamic ecosystems found along low-lying coastal plains tropical, subtropical, and some warm-temperate coasts, predominantly on tidal flats fringing deltas, estuaries, bays, oceanic atolls. These landforms present varied hydrodynamic geomorphological settings for mangroves to persist could influence the extent of within-site propagule transport subsequent local regeneration...

In this study, we consider a critical challenge in architectural design methodology-methods of form making landform architecture. Based on the authors’ methodology, approaches and methods are specified systematized, depending algorithm form-making process basic principles building composition. The to making, including image-based, generative, functional determined. within framework image-based ...

This thesis presents methods to enrich data modeling and analysis in the geoscience domain with a particular focus on geomorphological applications. First, a short overview of the relevant characteristics of the used remote sensing data and basics of its processing and visualization are provided. Then, two new methods for the visualization of vector-based maps on digital elevation models (DEMs)...

Topics covered: 1. Conceptual framework – agents of pattern formation. 2. Abiotic factors – geology, geomorphology, hydrology, soils. 3. Climatic factors – temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, meteorology. 4. Climate-landform effects on vegetation pattern, ecological flows, disturbance regimes and geomorphological processes. 5. Resource management implications – climate change scenarios...
