Symbolic landforms created by ancient earthworks near Lake Titicaca [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
Interesting landforms created by an ancient network of earthworks are shown, using Google satellite imagery enhanced by an image processing. This network covers a large part of the land near the Titicaca Lake. Satellite images clearly display the slopes of hills criss-crossed with terrace walls and the surfaces of the plains covered with raised fields,

Enhancing the Google imagery using a wavelet filter [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
In some previous papers we proposed the use of free software for a processing of the Google satellite imagery. Here we discuss the use of a wavelet filter for the same purposes. This filter is a tool included in a freely downloadable software (Iris), well-known for the processing of astronomical images.

Geoglyphs of Titicaca as an ancient example of graphic design [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
The paper proposes an ancient landscape design as an example of graphic design for an age and place where no written documents existed. It is created by a network of earthworks, which constitute the remains of an extensive ancient agricultural system. It can be seen by means of the Google satellite imagery on the Peruvian region near the Titicaca Lake,

Interannual Variation in the Area and Water Volume of Lakes in Different Regions of the Tibet Plateau and Their Responses to Climate Change

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The area and volume changes of 20 lakes that were present during the period 1976–2019 in different parts of the Tibet Plateau were extracted using Landsat remote sensing satellite images on the Google Earth Engine platform. Changes in the water volume of

Using bed-roughness signatures to characterise glacial landform assemblages beneath palaeo-ice sheets

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2022
Palaeo-glacial landforms can give insights into bed roughness that currently cannot be captured underneath contemporary-ice streams. A few studies have measured bed roughness of palaeo-ice streams but the bed roughness of specific landform assemblages ...
