Artificial intelligence : realistic goals for the 1990s in Reflections and visions. 25 years of geography at Waterloo.
This paper is designed to stimulate discussion about artificial intelligence. Some illustrative applications in remote sensing are described, and one desideratum for artificial intelligence in geography is advanced.
Artificial drainage induced erosion : the care of railway culverts on the Kewzana Ridge, near Alice, Eastern Cape
Applied geomorphology ; Artificial drainage ; Cape Province ; Impact ; Land use ; Slope gradient ; Soil erosion ; South Africa
The geomorphic impacts of artificial drainage in the form of railway culverts are examined on a steep hilsslope at Kwezana, Eastern Cape. An insight into the erosion and surface hydological conditions of the hillslope at pre- and post- railway
Dried earth layers of artificial forestland in the Loess Plateau of Shaanxi Province
By determining the earth moisture content of artificial forestland between 0 and 6 m deep in the Loess Plateau of Shaanxi province, the vertical change of moisture content, distribution and formation causes of a dried earth layer are researched
. The dried layers generally develop in middle-aged artificial forestland that consumed too much moisture.
This paper will firstly give an overview of peat drainage practice before reviewing the literature to show that artificial drainage of peatlands is unsustainable. It will then discuss the future needs for wetland research and peatland restoration
Relationship of eco-environmental change with natural erosion and artificially accelerated erosion
The Ziwuling forest area provides research base for tracing back eco-environmental change related to natural erosion and artificially accelerated erosion. Using methods of typical region investigations, in-situ experimental study and chemical
analysis of samples, impact of vegetation destruction and rehabilitation on soil erosion, characteristics of natural erosion under conditions of natural ecological balance and artificially accelerated erosion resulting from vegetation destruction in forest
area, and the processes of artificially accelerated erosion and soil degradation have been analyzed and discussed.
The use of artificial neural networks in a geographical information system for agricultural land-suitability assessment
The assessment methods which can currently be used with GISs have limitations which may lead to inaccurate assessment. An artificial neural network is an effective tool for pattern analysis. It allows decision rules of greater complexity
Artificial intelligence and its applicability to geographical problem solving
Artificial intelligence (AI) may be regarded as an attempt to understand the processes of perception and reasoning that undeslie successful problem-solving and to incorporate the results of this research in effective computer programs
Basisinterferometrie mit künstlichen Satelliten eine Revolution in der Geodäsie? (Base line inferometry by means of artificial satellites a revolution in geodesy?)

Herbicide transport via surface runoff during intermittent artificial rainfall : A laboratory plot scale study
runoff samples which decreased exponentially with further rainfall. The artificial setup of intermittent rainfall revealed that with every new rainfall event after a rainless period, a higher amount of herbicides was released from the plot than
