Quantification of Terrain Ruggedness as a Predictor of DEM Interpolation Error

open access: yes, 2013
Interpolation of elevation data is a common step for creation and reformatting of many digital elevation products, which involves the estimation of unknown surface values based on surrounding measurements.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

From Prediction to Prevention: An Explainable GeoAI Framework for Flood Susceptibility and Urban Exposure Assessment Using Machine and Deep Learning Models

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanisation and intensifying rainfall have increased cities' vulnerability to flooding, posing major challenges to sustainable development. Although machine learning models have improved flood prediction accuracy, most remain limited by their black‐box nature and lack of actionable insights.

Analysis and reduction of topographic effect induced errors in land surface temperature retrieval over the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Land Surface Temperature (LST) plays a pivotal role in representing ground energy balance and understanding climate change. LST over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) significantly influences regional climate and environmental dynamics.

Optimizing Eco‐Industrial Park Site Selection for Circular Supply Chains: A Novel Hybrid Decision‐Making Approach

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐Industrial Parks (EIPs) are critical infrastructure for transitioning to sustainable production and consumption patterns, enabling resource efficiency through industrial symbiosis. However, the success of these circular ecosystems depends heavily on strategic location planning that balances conflicting economic, environmental, and social ...

Terrain Selection by Reindeer in Late Winter in Central Norway

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 ...

Identity Impermanence as a Generic Social Process: The Malleability of Gender in Transgender and Nonbinary People's Lives

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Drawing on 40 in‐depth interviews with transgender and nonbinary people, we found that respondents' gender identities or displays shifted day‐by‐day and audience‐by‐audience. The first describes respondents shifting their identities and displays based on feeling their way through gender while the latter describes feeling out an audience.

Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...

Geography Dictates, But How? Topography, Spatial Concentration and Sectoral Diversification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This study investigates the ways in which terrain ruggedness affects sectoral diversification. A cross-country analysis using data from 142 countries over the period 1970‒2007 documents an inverted U-shaped link between terrain ruggedness and sectoral ...
