Eighteen profiles of ∼N-S-trending topography from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) are used to analyze the shape of Mars’ northern hemisphere. MOLA observations show smaller northern hemisphere flattening than previously thought. The hypsometric distribution is narrowly peaked with > 20% of the surface lying within 200 m of the mean elevation. Low elevation correlates with low surface r...

geographic information system (gis) and analytical hierarchy process (ahp) were applied to ecological zoning of current agricultural lands in gorgan for sunflower cultivation. for this purpose, agro-ecological requirements of sunflower firstly, identified according to scientific resources. rating and thematic requirement maps were then provided. studied environmental-components were: average, m...

in this study, we applied classification methods and geographic information system(gis) techniques to identify vegetation structures in andevar rangelands. homogenous work unit maps were produced by overlaying the layers of slope, aspect and digital elevation. totally 95 homogenous units were determined in which the field studies were carried out. vegetation sampling was done in 69 transects an...

This study presents the spatio–temporal assessment of Pugllohuma peatland’s soil saturation and water level variability. The is a high elevation wetland located within Sustainable Water Conservation Area Antisana in northern Andes Ecuador above 4100 m.a.s.l. provides information dry wet seasons peatland. temporal variability was investigated considering variables such as: atmospheric pressure, ...

there are technical and theoretical knowledge of the gully, ditch the clean areas on topographic maps and digital models that will help. however, the ability to use maps (dem) to identify the location and frequency of gully requires knowledge about the process of creating a moat.the present study modeled gulliation prone areas in dyreh river basin done. materials and methods used in this resear...

Tawangmangu district which is located in Karanganyar Regency, Central Java a crowded area susceptible to disaster. Therefore, susceptibility zoning analysis needed support the planning and development of area. The method used bivariate statistics - weight evidence has never been implemented its location. There are two types data, data potential soil movement case (divided into train as 61 point...

in recent decades, the city development and city settlement have been tremendous. this has caused unequal physical and spatial expansion. the 21st century is the century of the city and living in city and almost half of the world population live as citizen. a glance at forecasting the data and statistics in 1400 shows an estimation of 130 millions of population and the calculation of present ci...

The intersection lines between discontinuity surfaces and their intersection points on the visible surfaces of any engineering structure may be the instability indicators. This paper describes a new approach to modelling the intersecting lines and points that would provide the first evaluation of any instability in an engineering structure characterized by the failure modes. In this work, the i...

TAPES-G is a grid-based terrain analysis program that computes slope, aspect, upslope contributing area, profile and plan curvature and several other topographic attributes for each cell of a square-grid digital elevation model (DEM). These topographic attributes can be used to represent key physical processes in a form simple enough to allow modeling at catchment and larger scales. The program...
