Shifting Patterns of Precipitation Extremes in the Southeast Atlantic Basin—Brazil: From Observed Trends to Future Projections

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Observed trends and EC‐Earth3 climate model projections demonstrate expressive changes in the Southeast Atlantic Hydrographic Basin, Brazil. Significant increases in rainfall intensity and dry spell duration in the present climate are followed by projected amplification of extreme precipitation under future warming, particularly under the SSP5‐8.5 ...

Cost-Efficient Global Robot Navigation in Rugged Off-Road Terrain

open access: yes, 2011
The thesis “Cost-Efficient Global Robot Navigation in Rugged Off-Road Terrain” proposes a global robot navigation concept for rugged off-road terrain which is robust against inaccurate self-localization and scalable to large environments, but also cost ...

Terrain Selection by Reindeer in Late Winter in Central Norway [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
. Characteristics of topography, snow, lichen cover, and lichen distribution were compared with habitat use by Snøhetta reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L.) in central Norway to investigate the role of terrain structure for habitat use within ...

Climate Change and Reduction of Soil Organic Layer Thickness Increases Drought Risk in Mountain Forests of the Northern Alps

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background On ca. 10% of the forested sites in the Bavarian Alps (Germany) mountain, forest soils (so‐called folic histosols) are characterized by thick organic layers overlying poorly weathered calcareous parent material. Aim These organic layers play a critical role in releasing water and nutrients for vegetation, yet they are also sensitive

Improved A* Algorithm for Mobile Robots under Rough Terrain Based on Ground Trafficability Model and Ground Ruggedness Model

open access: yesSensors
Considering that the existing path planning algorithms for mobile robots under rugged terrain do not consider the ground flatness and the lack of optimality, which leads to the instability of the center of mass of the mobile robot, this paper proposes an

Optimization of UAV Flight Missions in Steep Terrain

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry is one of the most effective methods for capturing a terrain in smaller areas. Capturing a steep terrain is more complex than capturing a flat terrain.

Atmospheric corrections to satellite radiometric data over rugged terrain

open access: yes, 1981
Radiometric measurements from satellites in the solar portion of the electromagnetic spectrum can be converted to measurements of surface exitance. Over rugged terrain, the satellite image must be precisely registered to a terrain data set.

New Schmidt hammer exposure‐age dating calibrations for the Last Glacial Termination in NW Scotland: Development and application to undated Torridon Group sandstone surfaces in Wester Ross

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An understanding of the terrestrial extent, retreat dynamics and climate–glacier coupling of ice masses during the Last Glacial Termination (LGT, ~18–11 ka) is often limited by a fragmentary geomorphological record and is dependent on precise, accurate and robust dating frameworks.

Rugged NK landscapes contain the highest peaks

open access: yes, 2005
NK models provide a family of tunably rugged fitness landscapes used in a wide range of evolutionary computation studies. It is well known that the average height of local optima regresses to the mean of the landscape with increasing ruggedness, K.

Terrain-Aware Optical-SAR Image Registration Under Severe Geometric Distortions

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Accurate registration between optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery remains challenging, particularly in rugged terrain, where SAR-specific geometric distortions significantly degrade correspondence reliability.
