We conclude that detailed roughness analysis is a useful tool for landscape interpretation; and we suggest that the roughness of an ice-sheet's bed should be viewed not only as the consequence of ancient marine sedimentation, but also as a product of more contemporary erosion and redistribution of sediments, as well as bedrock-smoothing that is ongoing because of continuing dynamic activity.
The similarity of the glacial landforms of this region to the active, temperate glacial landsystem produced by historical glacier recession in modern glacierized catchments, where sheetfloods have not been influential in subglacial landform production, allows us to apply a modern analogue to landscape interpretation that does not include subglacial sheetflooding.
Traditional landscape interpretation from aerial photography is used to demonstrate how a geomorphological approach saved police time in the search for a clandestine grave.
Landscape interpretation in many such areas involved identifying the influence of glaciations and the consequences of global warming, more recently a subject of considerable scientific interest.
The steep terrain ensured that the scale of the air photographs used in these studies would vary all over the stereographic models formed for landscape interpretation.
This chapter documents three exercises that are used to teach river and landscape interpretation in undergraduate/postgraduate classes and professional short courses.
A prototype iPhone, called 'What's Here?' that includes augmented audio and visual features for landscape interpretation is described, and is illustrated with data related to climate change, renewable energy infrastructure, land use change and sea level rise.
This study's chief objective was to compare and evaluate landscape interpretation and hazard assessment between types of maps depicting assessments of flood risk in Ivanpah Valley, NV, as a case study.
Paradoxically, although viewpoint geosites are the most suitable places to develop landscape interpretation, any interpretation facilities may severely interfere with the natural scenery, spoiling the aesthetic qualities of the landscape.
In addition to the Ancient Quarter, the French Colonial Quarter and the Ba Dinh Area, which have long been identified as distinct areas of administrative and commercial activity in the city of Hanoi, a number of areas away from the city centre could be identified as distinct zones through location analysis and landscape interpretation.
