Ecologically-Relevant Maps of Landforms and Physiographic Diversity for Climate Adaptation Planning. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Key to understanding the implications of climate and land use change on biodiversity and natural resources is to incorporate the physiographic platform on which changes in ecological systems unfold.

A General Approach to Domain Adaptation with Applications in Astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The ability to build a model on a source task and subsequently adapt such model on a new target task is a pervasive need in many astronomical applications. The problem is generally known as transfer learning in machine learning, where domain adaptation is a popular scenario.

Supervised Multi-Regional Segmentation Machine Learning Architecture for Digital Twin Applications in Coastal Regions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
This study explores the use of a digital twin model and deep learning method to build a global terrain and altitude map based on USGS information. The goal is to artistically represent various landforms while incorporating precise elevation modifications in the terrain map and encoding land height in the altitude map.

Large Scale Landform Mapping Using Lidar DEM

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2015
In this study, LIDAR DEM data was used to obtain a primary landform map in accordance with a well-known methodology. This primary landform map was generalized using the Focal Statistics tool (Majority), considering the minimum area condition in ...

A fire safety engineering approach to improving community resilience to the impacts of wildfire

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
Abstract Each year severe wildfires continue to cause significant destruction resulting in the loss of life, property, critical infrastructure, and the environment. In an effort to increase community preparedness and resilience to wildfire, international jurisdictions have adopted both guiding principles and prescriptive codes that apply to both urban ...

Landform classification based on adjacency index of feature lines

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2007
Landform feature points and lines have been used as basic landform descriptors of landform skeleton in many fields, including surveying, simulation of hydrology, landform classification, and vegetation mapping. With the objective of landform classification from DEMs, an approach has been put forward based on topological parameters and the extended ones.

Restricted cirque glaciers in the Wicklow Mountains, Ireland, during the Nahanagan Stadial (Greenland Stadial‐1/Younger Dryas)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Ireland, the Nahanagan Stadial (NS) was characterised by cirque glacier, plateau icefield and mountain ice cap expansion and is named after the cirque glacier type‐site of Lough Nahanagan in the Wicklow Mountains. This period is broadly equivalent to the Younger Dryas Stadial and Greenland Stadial‐1 (GS‐1: ~12.9–11.7 ka).

Testing Semi-Automated Landforms Extraction Using Field-Based Geomorphological Maps

open access: yesGeosciences
The semi-automated extraction of landforms using GIS analysis is one of the main topics in computer analyses. The use of digital elevation models (DEMs) in GIS applications makes the extraction and classification procedure of landforms easier and faster.
