The AA. developed a semi-automatic method to derive a chain-like directional network from images that represent the multi-channel river and to connect individual network elements through time. The Jamuna River was taken as an example with a series
of Landsat TM and ETM+ images taken at irregular intervals between 1999 and 2004. They quantified the overall importance of individual channels in the entire network using a centrality property. Centrality showed that 3 reaches can be distinguished along
of landscape as a perceived entity has been taken up within Landscape Character Assessment (LCA), an approach applied in England and Scotland for implementing the ELC. Based on a conceptual framework grounded in perception as a phenomenological experience
variables at the NUTS 3 level is addressed through a modified version of the Bayesian interpolation method introduced by Palma and Benedetti. Spatial heterogeneity is taken into account by identifying convergence clubs. For this purpose, we use the modified
University in the recent years, important regional/local conditions could be taken into account during the modelling process. In the experiments of PRECIS, three different emission scenarios (A2, A1B, B2) are considered to provide estimations for the 21st
This article examines the arts of war and of resistance through the Palestinian refugees’ counter-cartography on Google Earth. It shows how the refugees have taken advantage of the State of Israel's (as well as the Palestinian leadership's
This paper focuses on the politics of religious space and hybridized cultural identity in the reconstruction of Miao ethnicity in China. It is argued that translocal flows of cultural resources should be taken into account in order to investigate
is decentralized in terms of wage setting, the more regional differences in productivity are reflected in wages. It is concluded that the current Belgian wage-setting system already includes mechanisms that allow regional productivity to be taken into account.
a generalization to be made that any one of the four location quotient techniques would always yield the best results, but they do indicate that the attributes of regions can give information which should be taken into account when selecting the best possible
This paper analyses the linkage between tourism and crime with a particular focus on the distortions generated onto criminal activities by the presence of visitors in all the Italian provinces. The possible spillover effects of crime are taken
various characteristics of the landscape associated to the infrastructures. A specific weight is then assigned to each criterion in such a way as to produce a semi-quantitative value ranging from a minimum value of 0 to a maximum value of 10. Taken
. Existing models of runup and boulder detachment imply that the extreme wave signatures lie beyond the capabilities of storm waves. These considerations, taken together with the range of evidence available, point toward tsunami as the agency responsible
points were taken using a differential Global Positioning System (dGPS) along a wide range of underwater bed forms. The resulting DTMs closely matched the field-surveyed bed surface, and allowed to assess that a 10-year recurrence interval flood generated
reconstructed after recontouring had taken place and the topsoil was well preserved. As this process is widespread in the region, concern is primarily for salinisation potential of throughflow and receiving waters.
The AA. used the Schmidt hammer to assess the relative exposure ages of previously dated Little Ice Age moraines deposited by Svellnosbreen glacier in Jotunheimen southern Norway. Schmidt hammer measurements were taken on moraine surfaces which have
The AA. present a relative sea-level (RSL) curve for the island of Bonaire (S Caribbean). They used 42 C ages from 20 sediment cores taken from 9 different sedimentary archives along the coast. The sedimentary environment of each index point
