Earth construction: Lessons from the past for future eco-efficient construction [PDF]
Construction and Building Materials, 2012 Abstract Earth construction has received in the last decade an increased attention by the scientific community illustrated by a tenfold increase of the published research articles when compared to the previous decade. Earth construction has a major expression in less developed countries, however, the mimetic temptations towards more polluting ...

EARTH OBSERVATION FOR LAND COVER AND HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022 Human-environment interactions (HEI) are dynamic processes involving a wide range of research areas. The complicated interaction processes, with land cover change as an intermediate process, have been investigated for decades.
