Although broad-scale topography within the Oak Openings can be attributed to glacial and post-glacial natural processes (Forsyth 1970), we found that increased site-level topographic heterogeneity within our study can be attributed to more recent human disturbances.
At three nested scales, the most influential habitat factors were topography (broad-scale >5 m2), shrub "islands" (meso-scale 1−5 m2), and physical substrate characteristics (fine-scale < 1 m2).
The city site is characterized by varied topography of broad mesas, canyons, and wide valleys.
Most broad variations in the topography of the ocean floor, the mid-ocean ridges and rises, are due to horizontal variations in temperature in the outer 100 kilometres of the Earth.
To achieve mobility over such a broad set of terrain topographies – spanning structured and unstructured environments – an ideal robot will employ both static, highly stable motions (e.g. dexterous crawling, climbing, walking), as well as highly dynamic agility maneuvers (e.g. leaping, inertial reorientation, controlled landing; running; etc).
Stands were chosen to span a broad range of elevation, aspect, and topography.
Finally, meta-analytic examination of the cognitive and behavioral domains associated with each of the insular clusters obtained elucidated the broad functional dissociations likely underlying the topography observed.
Afterwards, this model was used to simulate a broad range of common scenarios of topography and rainfall from commercial farms in southern Spain.
We perform inversions of the broad features of the present-day topography, total exhumation and thermochronological data using a landscape evolution model (FastScape) to provide constraints on the erosion efficiency factor, the uplift rate and the temperature gradient.
Her "Bluff" series of gouaches are landscapes dissolved into broad brushstrokes that animate the sweeping shoreline topography.
