The development of interferometric techniques applied to synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data has opened up many new applications for remote sensing. This paper focuses upon the discrimination and mapping of rock and soil types from multispectral
data; the monitoring of volcanic activity, ash cloud, dust trajectories and fluxes; the vegetation monitoring; the forest and environmental management with remote-sensing techniques; the monitoring of lakes, rivers and estuaries from satellite images.

This article assesses the potentially powerful combination of remotely sensed data and soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer (SVAT) schemes. SVATS represent the hydrological processes occuring at the land surface and can be used to estimate, among
This paper addresses particularly the possibilities of remote sensing techniques for the hydro- and morphodynamics of the coastal zone s.s. An integrated approach combining remote sensing data and specific hydrodynamic modelling has opened
American microbreweries and neolocalism : Ale-ing for a sense of place
breweries emerged in California, modeled after a similar renaissance in Great Britain. The microbrewery has now diffused throughout the country as beer drinkers crave more local flavor and a sense of place. - (SLD)
Recent aeolian origin of surficial gypsum crusts in southern Tunisia : geomorphological, archaeological and remote sensing evidence

This paper provides new evidence on both the mode of formation and the age of surficial gypsum crusts by studying archaeological, remote sensing and geomorphological evidence from surficial gypsum deposits in the Chott Fedjaj basin and northern part
Depuis quelque temps, le terme régionalisation prend un sens différent du sens géographique commun. L'A. présente, à l'aide d'exemples, quelques nouvelles techniques comme fuzzy logic, simulated annealing, modélisation causale et leurs utilisations

Author determines the distribution of Polylepis forest on Sajama Volcano in the western Cordillera of Bolivia using remote-sensing and GIS methods. He discusses indicators such as altitude and aspect that approximate the eco-climatological
Les flux migratoires sont censés varier en sens inverse de la mesure symétrique des coûts migratoires et dans le même sens que la mesure de l'attractivité dépendante de la population. Unicité et propriétés de stabilité des états continus du
