This article reports on the special issue of Earth Surface Processes and Landforms dedicated to remote sensing of rivers an emerging subdiscipline of river science. The 12 articles in the volume cover a broad spectrum of applications that use
. In this overview each of the 12 articles is briefly summarized. Based on these works and other research, it is concluded that the time for more widespread application of river remote sensing techniques is now.

Etude empirique de quatre banlieues de Dublin. Rôle joué par une idéologie pastorale dans la constitution de ces nouvelles banlieues et dans le fait de donner un certain sens du lieu. Ce dernier aide à cimenter un ancrage social qui agit comme un
Soil erosion assessment using geomorphological remote sensing techniques : an example from southern Italy
Agricultural practice ; Geographical information system ; Global Positioning System ; Italy ; LANDSAT ; Mediterranean area ; Puglia ; Remote sensing ; Soil erosion ; Spatial distribution
The aim of this study is to assess of the distribution and map the geomorphological effects of soil erosion at the basin scale identifying newly-formed erosional landsurfaces (NeFELs), by means of an integration of Landsat ETM 7+ remotely sensed
Remote sensing investigations carried out in French Guiana mainly with radar data is allowing to differentiate morphologies and lithologies, and to map large-scale structures, particularly in the volcanosedimentary units of the Northern Synclinorium

as a rock glacier, using remotely sensed data, historical maps, and Google Earth TM. Spring seepage through the dam face has caused several recent subsidiary debris slides, which could threaten its integrity. The AA. suggest further long-term observation
A geostatistically weighted k-NN classifier for remotely sensed imagery
Built up area ; Data processing ; Geostatistics ; Land utilisation ; Model ; Plant cover ; Remote sensing ; Satellite imagery ; Spatial variation ; Thematic mapping
This study aims to increase the accuracy with which remotely sensed data can be used to generate thematic maps of land cover classes. It explores the use of geostatisical models to characterize the inherent spatial variation between different land
Remote sensing and field-based mapping of permafrost distribution along the Alaska Highway Corridor, Interior Alaska
Alaska ; Cartography ; Cold area ; Geographical information system ; Model ; Periglacial features ; Permafrost ; Remote sensing ; SPOT ; Spatial distribution ; Vegetation
The AA. employed an integrated approach that combined remote sensing techniques with field measurements to predict the presence/absence of near-surface permafrost in a section of the Alaska Highway corridor. They investigated the correlative

E. Casey provides a compelling means of interrogating affective dimensions, distinguishing thick and 'thin places in everyday life. Casey's work restores the affective fecundity of place, even if it fails to provide a clear sense of how thick places

This review presents a perspective on recent trends in glacial geomorphological research, and in particular the increasing engagement with investigating glaciation over larger and longer timescales facilitated by advances in remote sensing
Les ruines sont des marqueurs de la mémoire urbaine et peuvent véhiculer un sens politique et social. Lorsque l'on conserve des ruines issues de catastrophes, la décision s'explique souvent par l'aspect préventif de la conservation de traces. Le
sens de la ruine est toutefois ambigu et il dépend de l'aménagement réalisé pour sa conservation.De nombreuses municipalités, dans des contextes très divers, ont inventé des modalités variées d'intégration urbaine des ruines.
