Assessing DEMs is a critical step in hydrological applications to reduce uncertainties. This study assesses the uncertainty level of using several DEM products by comparing the derivation of watershed morphometric inform...

Beach-ridge systems are a common feature of prograding coastlines and they have been recognized as important archives of late Quaternary sea level. In this paper, the combination of Landsat images and shuttle radar topog...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is a key component of the Earth’s climate system and assessing its mass balance is crucial for predicting sea-level rise. Solid ice discharge is a critical parameter that can be determined by ca...

Global environmental degradation resulting from unsustainable human activities has become a critical development challenge in the 21st century. The Didessa watershed in southwestern Ethiopia, a region dominated by subsis...

Glaciers in the northern Patagonian Andes (35-46°gS) have shown a dramatic decline in area in the last decades. However, little is known about glacier mass balance changes in this region. This study presents a geodetic ...

Background: Scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR) is a key metric for evaluating shoulder joint function. Current established methods of SHR analysis involve 3-dimensional (3D) to 2-dimensional (2D) registration, which requires si...

Aims: The high plant species diversity of tropical mountain forests is coupled with high habitat heterogeneity along gradients in elevation and topography. We quantified the effects of elevation, topography and forest ed...

Culverts play a critical role in stormwater conveyance, roadway safety, and flood mitigation, particularly within low-lying urban communities vulnerable to extreme rainfall events. In Louisiana, increased rainfall intens...

This research determines improved flight-path routes that make maximum utilization of terrain-masking opportunities, and defending radar and missile system equipment performance and launch timing constraints, in order to...

Background: Yerba mate (YM) drinking is associated with higher lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. We analyzed its effect on total hip BMD and reported the contribution of th...

Remote sensing-derived building footprint data has been widely applied in population mapping. However, nonresidential buildings typically occupy larger areas or volumes, and obtaining building footprint data with type in...

Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable transformation from a heavily industrialized rail depot and one of the nation’s most polluted cities to the first designated National Park City in the United States of America...

Soil erosion is a major environmental concern that affects land productivity and water quality. Although soil erosion is a serious global environmental challenge, understanding its potential influence in the Bardha Water...

This study proposes a two-level stacking machine learning approach for predicting rainfall erosivity (Rm) in Taiwan, providing a flexible alternative to traditional empirical methods. Conventional models rely on limited ...

To overcome the limitations of traditional models to simulate discrete environmental variables, this study introduces a novel, integrated simulation framework: the Spatio-Temporal Integrated Geographic Generative Adversa...

Soil erosion is a major problem, which has had adverse effects on the productivity of agriculture, the quality of water, and the sustainability of land in the long term, especially in semi-arid states of southern India. ...

The tectonically active broken foreland of NW Argentina is a recent analog of the eastern margin of the Puna plateau during Mio-Pliocene times and likely of other broken forelands worldwide. In order to evaluate active t...

The Andes Cordillera contains the most diverse cryosphere on Earth, including extensive areas covered by seasonal snow, numerous tropical and extratropical glaciers, and many mountain permafrost landforms. Here, we revie...

Climate conditions have a strong influence on the distribution of many natural communities; thus, the influence of global climate change may alter ecosystems. High-altitude wetlands in the Central Andes of Argentina (CAA...

Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical models (e.g. species distribution models)...

Forests play an important role in water and carbon cycles in semiarid regions such as the Mediterranean ecosystems. Previous research in the Chilean Mediterranean forests revealed a break point in 1980 in regional tree-r...

Constraining the influence of different moisture sources across the flanks of mountain ranges is important for understanding tectonic, geomorphic, and paleoclimate problems at geologic timescales, as well as evaluating c...

Transient and highly regulated elevations of cytosolic Ca2+ control a variety of cellular processes. Bulk measurements using radioactive Ca2+ and the luminescent sensor aequorin have shown that in response to pheromone, ...

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission produced the most complete, highest‐resolution digital elevation model of the Earth. The project was a joint endeavor of NASA, the National Geospatial‐Intelligence Agency, and the...
