Cross-scale effects and driving mechanisms of spatial structure and functional coupling in coastal city leisure blocks: A case study of the Jiaodong urban agglomeration

open access: yesCity and Environment Interactions
As sensitive zones where urban functions and coastal ecosystems intersect, the coupling mismatch between the spatial structure and functions of coastal recreational blocks has become a bottleneck to high-quality urban development; yet, their cross-scale ...

Comparative analysis of slope classes and terrain ruggedness index using distinct digital elevation models in the Municipality of Jenipapo de Minas

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geoscience, Engineering and Technology
This study assesses terrain variability in the Municipality of Jenipapo de Minas, southeastern Brazil, using Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). The DEMs analyzed include the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) with 30-meter (SRTM30) and 90-meter (SRTM90) resolutions, as well as the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER)

Glacial versus geomorphic controls on stream temperature and conductivity in a temperate watershed

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research
Climate change is impacting mountain systems worldwide, with far-ranging consequences including changing stream temperature and chemistry. In glacier-dominated systems, previous studies have focused on the distance from glaciers as the primary control on

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.

Dynamic Soil Pressures Caused by Travelling Forest Machines

open access: yesCroatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2018
Machines travelling in forest stands cause dynamic loading of soil, the size of which depends on a multitude of factors such as terrain ruggedness, machine speed, axle load and tyre inflation pressure.
