From coastal geomorphometry to virtual environments

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Communicating environmental change and mitigation scenarios to stakeholders and decision-makers can be challenging. Immersive environments offer an innovative approach for knowledge transfer, allowing science-based scenarios to be discussed interactively.

Progress and Prospects of Research on Microhabitat Scale Characterization and Utilization in Chinese Karst Area. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Karst regions exhibit ecologically fragile environments but host a rich diversity of microhabitats across spatial scales. Vegetation productivity and carbon sequestration patterns are intricately governed by subterranean microhabitat conditions. Microhabitat‐based technologies demonstrate transformative potential in reconciling human livelihoods with ...

Artificial Intelligence and Objective‐Function Methods Can Identify Bankfull River Channel Extents

Water Resources Research
Bankfull channel extents are of fundamental importance in fluvial geomorphology, to describe the geomorphic character of a river, and to provide a boundary for further processing of morphologic and hydraulic attributes.

Habitat-Based Predictions of Bridle Shiner (<i>Notropis bifrenatus</i>) in the Northeastern United States. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We developed local and regional models for Maine and New Hampshire that may be used to focus bridle shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) surveys on areas with high predicted habitat suitability. This is significant because bridle shiners receive protection or concern status in thirteen states and two Canadian provinces: Limited data show that bridle shiners ...

Understanding Multi-Scale and Multi-Species Habitat Selection by Mammals in the Eastern Himalayan Biodiversity Hotspot. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study assesses habitat suitability for 10 mammal species in Arunachal Pradesh, a biodiversity hotspot in the Eastern Himalayas, using a multi‐scale modeling approach to examine the impacts of human‐induced landscape changes on species distribution, focusing on rare and threatened mammals.

Patterns of Functional Diversity, Species Diversity, and Endemicity Driven by Elevation and Topographic Complexity in a Mediterranean Mountain Refuge. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Within the scope of our study, we modeled and mapped the relationships between functional diversity (Rao's Q), alpha species diversity, and endemism with topographic and climatic factors in a mountainous refugial area encompassing all Mediterranean vegetation strata.

Geomorphometry today [PDF]

InterCarto. InterGIS, 2021
Topography is the most important component of the geographical shell, one of the main elements of geosystems, and the framework of a landscape. geomorphometry is a science, the subject of which is modeling and analyzing the topography and the relationships between topography and other components of geosystems. Currently, the apparatus of geomorphometry

Marine Geomorphometry [PDF]

, 2019
Geomorphometry is the science of quantitative terrain characterization and analysis, and has traditionally focused on the investigation of terrestrial and planetary landscapes. However, applications of marine geomorphometry have now moved beyond the simple adoption of techniques developed for terrestrial studies, driven by the rise in the acquisition ...

Editorial: Frontiers in marine geomorphometry

Frontiers in Marine Science
Marine geomorphometry is the science of quantitative terrain characterization applied to the seabed. Like many geospatial applications, techniques used for marine geomorphometry have been sourced from the terrestrial sciences. Through progress in the fields of seabed mapping, marine geomorphology, benthic habitat mapping, and marine ecology, scientists

Detection, Morphometric Analysis and Digital Surveying of Archaeological Mounds in Southern Iraq with CartoSat-1 and COSMO-SkyMed DEMs

Land, 2022
In Near and Middle Eastern archaeology, satellite-derived digital elevation models (DEM) of medium spatial resolution (≥30 m) are mostly used to locate and map archaeological mounds (namely ‘tells’), whereas high resolution DEMs (≤10 m) are still poorly ...
