Intertidal wetlands such as mangrove and saltmarsh are increasingly susceptible to areal losses related sea level rise. This exposure is potentially offset by processes that might enable accrete in situ or migrate landward under rise, planning policies open new opportunities for migration. We present demonstrate a method predict intertidal wetland distribution the present-day landscape using ra...

We propose a new approach to capture the volumetric density of dynamic scattering media instantaneously with a single image. The volume is probed with a set of laser lines and the scattered intensity is recorded by a conventional camera. We then determine the density along the laser lines taking the scattering properties of the media into account. A specialized approximation technique reconstru...

Traditional methods use NDVI to investigate vegetation cover from remote sensing imagery. These methods provide per-pixel vegetation distribution, and cause a modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP), when a meaningful statistical result is issued. In this paper, a new method based on advanced segmentation techniques and classification is proposed for urban vegetation investigation extraction. This...

To constrain the timing of rifting in the western, eastern, and northern parts of the Alboran Sea basin, seismic reflectors, corresponding to biostratigraphic boundaries and unconformities from the Miocene to Recent, are correlated using synthetic seismograms. Regions of adjacent coeval compression and extension are found in the Alboran Sea basin. Normal faulting continues in parts of the easte...

In this study we examine the relative performance of a range of methods for transposing catchment model parameters to ungauged catchments. We calibrate 11 parameters of a semi-distributed conceptual rainfall-runoff model to daily runoff and snow cover data of 320 Austrian catchments in the period 1987–1997 and verify the model for the period 1976–1986. We evaluate the predictive accuracy of the...

The free-air gravity in the Marmara Sea reveals that the low density of sedimentary basins is partly compensated in the lower crust. We compiled geophysical upper crust studies to determine the sediment basin geometries in and around the Marmara Sea and corrected the gravity signal from this upper crust geology with the Parker method. Then, assuming long wavelength anomalies in the residual gra...

Morphotectonic indices by representing the longer period of time than recorded earthquake data, are useful in evaluating the tectonic activity of a region. Dashtkhak area is located in Kerman province of Iran, where one of the most active faults, Kouhbanan strike slip fault, passes through. This data article provides a precise level data on mountain fronts and valleys of Dashtkhak region that i...
