The behaviour of escarpments in various structural and topographic settings determines style and rate of landscape development and of the piedmont landform assemblage. The various models are examined with relevance to the evolution of the landscapes
ATKIS is the German topographic cartographic spatial database and presently contains more than 60 different feature types for the whole area of Germany in the scale of 1:25000. The ATKIS data are the basis for a large number of applications in very
In this paper, physical correlation between topographical attributes and indices, and soil moisture measurements are investigated. The objective is to establish a functional relationship that can be used to estimate the soil moisture distribution
Sand dune movement was monitored in a sample plot along the desert-crossing highway by means of a topographical survey in late 1991, 1992 and 1993. The results reveal that most of the morphometric parameters of the dunes are not as well correlated
topographic surveys in differentiating individual fan segments; establish the chronological order of formation of discrete fan surfaces identified; and deduce the probable pattern of fan development.
, high accuracy maps raises the possibility of improving on these qualitative definitions and symbols by developing a topographic parameter that can use the characteristics of calanco landscapes to discriminate them from other landforms. To this end
of a landscape to gully erosion. Two important components of gully erosion studies are the prediction of where gullies begin and where they end. To address some of these issues, topographical thresholds for gully initiation and sedimentation in 6 different
The A. explore the possibilities of using short-term wind tunnel simulations for the prediction of medium-term dust accumulation. The pattern of aeolian dust deposition and aeolian dust erosion created on a topographic scale model of a hilly desert
This paper presents an alternative approach to the study of three-dimensional morphological dynamics of a divided reach of the gravelly River Feshie, Scotland, in which topographic survey of both exposed and submerged areas of the reach
Computer simulations of the topographic evolution of the proposed post-mining rehabilitated landform for the ERA Ranger Mine, showed that for the unvegetated and unripped case, the landform at 1000 years would be dissected by localized erosion
To obtain knowledge on rockwall retreat rates at sites with rock glaciers, an inventory of about 400 individual rock glacier sites in West Greenland was carried out by means of field studies, and using aerial photographs and topographic maps
A flood event occurred on 30 September 1997, in 3 catchments, Torrealvilla, Salada and Nolgate, which were being monitored for morphological change. Detailed topographic surveys were made before and after the flood and from these DEMs of difference
characteristics, such as topographical parameters, material properties and climate. The ultimate goal is to identify the most important controlling factors of past and present bank gully erosion. 55 active bank gullies formed in different lithologies by various
(PCA) and false color composite (FCC). These techniques led to the creation of enhanced satellite images with respect to the topographic and geomorphologic characteristics of the island. The final digitally enhanced LANDSAT-5/TM images have been used
