Introduction: The California Coastal Sediment Management Workgroup (CSMW) has requested proposals from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Western Coastal and Marine Geology Team (WCMG) to evaluate the transport and fate of fine sediments discharged into California coastal waters. The rationale for this proposed work is a need to better understand the environmental consequences of beach nourishme...

Medical geology is the application of trace element geography to epidemiology. This approach is used to compare the geographic distribution of selenium and other trace elements in soil and food with that of high schizophrenia rates in the United States and other countries. Since the comparison is most statistically significant for low selenium, the selenium theory of schizophrenia is evaluated ...

This article presents a number of issues that are related to the hyperspectral sensors which are part of new technologies for the acquisition of images in satellite and aerial remote sensing. Hyperspectral sensors are characterized by the fact that they produce records in a large number of adjacent and narrow lanes thereby providing a very high spectral resolution. In this way, interpretations ...

Altitudinal gradients are among the most powerful 'natural experiments' for testing ecological and evolutionary responses of biota to geophysical influences, such as low temperature. However, there are two categories of environmental changes with altitude: those physically tied to meters above sea level, such as atmospheric pressure, temperature and clear-sky turbidity; and those that are not g...

Being a fundamental vertical reference surface, the use of the geoid is not limited to geodesy/geodetic applications. It is also used, but not limited to, in geophysics (i.e. interpretation of the Earth’s internal structure, solid earth science), geology (i.e. subsurface delineation), oceanography, and mapping/geographic information systems (GIS)/national spatial development infrastructure (NSD...
