Forgotten battles, forgotten maps : resources for reconstructing historical topographical intelligence using army map service materials
Army ; Historical geography ; Source of documentation ; Topographic map ; United States of America
A. discusses the history of the United States Army Map Service (AMS) and how its materials, which deal with topographical intelligence (terrain, facilities, and transport networks in enemy territory), became available in library collections. He
Assessing landslide potential using GIS, soil wetness modeling and topographic attributes, Payette River, Idaho
This study utilizes GIS modeling to determine if the location of 559 landslides in the 875 km2 catchment of the Middle Fork of the Payette River, Idaho, can be predicted based on topographic attributes and a wetness index generated by the DYNWET
Published lists of Irish hills and mountains are described and differences between them noted. Attention is drawn to potentially useful topographic information contained within the lists and where scope exists for other compilations.
but there are topographic differences between them. The AA. suggest that differences in catena development mostly result from the differences in slope length between the jakey's Fork and Torrey Creek catenas.
On the basis of satellite image analysis, the spreading of urban-industrial land use on Kocaeli peninsula between 1994 and 1998 could be described and predicted by means of an empirical, spatial-statistical model, using topological and topographical
Greaves Creek has cut a hanging valley through the entire Triassic sandstone sequence near Blackheath in the western Blue Mountains. The course of the creek is related to joint directions. Topographic asymmetry expressed as unequal slopes
is parameterised using a national coverage, environmental database containing topographic, soil, land management and climate variables for all hillslopes within each grid cell to be modelled. The approach is demonstrated for the Great Ouse catchment, Cambridgeshire
in different sites in the Serra da Estrala were collected simultaneously and systematically. The analysis of single days shows two main types of regime according to topographical conditions : valley floors and plateaux or peaks. The results of this research
area culminated in around 1820, to 1975, date of the aerial photographs used for the elaboration of the regional topographic maps. Investigations were carried out by means of field survey, photo-interpretation, analysis of map and historical documents
This paper describes the results from Marmot basin borehole N°2., which lies on a bench on the upper slope of Marmot Mountain. It is of particular interest because of the materials it penetrates, the topographic situation, and its proximity
, the class has organized a trip from the centre of the town to its hamlets, in order to test their knowledge of old and modern topographical maps. Sori and its surroundings have been studied paying particular attention to their physical and human qualities
locations can be explained by any macroscale site characteristics (e.g. elevation, patch size, slope, aspect, or topographic setting); determine if there are patterns of injury within sampled krummholz patches; and form preliminary hypotheses about what
supplies from the tributary valleys. Topographical factors seem to be more important than insolation differences for the lateroglacial valley distribution pattern.
