This article presents a review of existing methods for the detection of critical points cited in cartographic and computer science literature. Moreover, a theoretical assessment of algorithm validity with regard to cartographic representation demands is carried out. A method for the detection of critical points using the length ratio (LR) index is introduced, based on geometric principles. Four...

Beach litter accumulation patterns are influenced by biotic and abiotic factors, as well the distribution of anthropogenic sources. Although importance comprehensive approaches to deal with pollution is acknowledged, integrated studies including geomorphologic, biotic, anthropic factors in relation beach debris still needed. In this perspective, Species Distribution Models (SDMs) might represen...

The development of karst features is a complex and interactive process many factors with varying influence over time. following main seem to have influenced the occurrence in Middle Atlas Morocco: Precipitations after extreme weather events depending on precipitation pattern modified by orographic effects exposition terrain towards rain-bearing clouds are determining surface water input infiltr...

with regard to the importance of instantaneous peak discharge estimation for watershed management study, and due to the lack of and unqualified climatic and hydrologic data for estimation and measurement in countries such as iran, researchers were obliged to establish a link between constant parameters (geomorphologic) and variables (hydrologic) to present models with minimum dependence on clim...
