this paper gives an account of the implementation of geomorphological, hydrogeological, hydrochemical and isotopic techniques to understand groundwater-surface water interactions in a multiple use area, los padres-la brava corridor (se of buenos aires province, argentina). the isophreatic map reveals a regional flow from the sw to ne sector, and allowed us to define the effluent-influent behavi...

Theoretical assumptions, research methodologies and results applications of innovative geological and geomorphological mapping for landslide hazard evaluation in the alpine environment are presented in the paper. Case studies from the Italian NW-Alps highlight the role of Geomatics techniques in enhancing the accuracy of multitemporal reconstructions of geomorphic processes and landforms. Aeria...

Methods Maximum parsimony analysis was used to assess phylogenetic relationships among living large-bodied hominoids (= humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans), and various related African, Asian and European ape fossils. Biogeographical characteristics were analysed for vicariant replacement, main massings and nodes. A geomorphological correlation was identified for a clade we refe...

Title: Development and evaluation of a multi-dimensional spatially and temporally dynamic mesohabitat classification model for stream management and water flow allocation planning in southern New England streams Project Number: 2006CT123B Start Date: 5/1/2006 End Date: 5/1/2008 Funding Source: 104B Congressional District: 2 Research Category: Biological Sciences Focus Category: Ecology, Geomorp...

Vegetation is one of the most important components of the ecosystems. Knowledge about variations in vegetation species and community distribution patterns, alternations in vegetation phonological (growth) cycles, and modifications in plant physiology and morphology provide a valuable insight in to the climate, geologic and physiographic, characteristics of an area, so mapping vegetation cover i...

The European CORINE land cover mapping scheme is a standardized classification system with 44 land cover and land use classes. It is used by the European Environment Agency to report large-scale land cover change with a minimum mapping unit of 5 ha every six years and operationally mapped by its member states. The most commonly applied method to map CORINE land cover change is by visual interpr...

This study is based on a data set of aftershocks (location, fault−plane solutions) following the M=5.1 Arudy earthquake (02/29/80, French Western Pyrenees), and complementary geomorphological data (virtual geology using DEM and aerial photography). Data processing using Geophysical Information System are combined with identification of multi−structures based on the anisotropic wavelet formalism...

An acceleration algorithm for spectral unmixing approach is proposed based on subset selection. The method classifies the pixels in a spectral image into accurate and approximated unmixing groups based on the similarity and dissimilarity of geomorphological features in neighboring areas. Real spectral images are used for unmixing benchmark tests for accuracy and performance verification. The re...

Remote sensing has been used in karst studies to identify limestone terrain, describe exokarst features, analyze karst depressions, and detect geological structures important to karst development. The aim of this work is to investigate the use of ASTER-, SRTMand ALOS/PRISM-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) to detect and quantify natural karst depressions along the São Francisco River near...
