In this study, we analyzed population growth, urban density and urbanization dynamics between 1992 and 2009 in the major cities of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Per煤 using Google Earth and DMSP/OLS night-time lights imagery. We used Google Earth to map the urban extent, and time series of...
The scientists used a helicopter carrying special equipment to fire laser pulses at the Amazon forest as well as stretches of grassland. Those laser pulses reflect data from the Earth’s surface. This technique, called light detection and ranging, or lidar for short, enables researchers to map t...
The purpose of this paper was to map the geographical distribution ofA. lumbricoides,T. trichiura, and hookworm in Bolivia, and to estimate the risk, number of infected school-aged children, and the costs related to treatment interventions in the country. Survey data were extracted from published...
This country-level case study could provide a roadmap for other studies that may eventually lead to uplisting the genus. Including Cedrela in CITES Appendix II may help to ensure that its harvest to supply international markets is conducted in a sustainable manner, without damaging the target ...
(ii) for a detailed investigation of urban ground stability in La Paz, Bolivia. In this work, amplitude change detection approaches using multi-band satellite SAR imagery were applied to map the affected area of the landslide. Then, a ground deformation analysis over the city of La Paz was ...
Considering these aspects, a raster map corresponding to this meteorological variable was generated using a very straightforward interpolation approach, which was derived from a linear regression between the DEM and the yearly average precipitation. This methodology is endorsed in low-density networks of ...
2.3.1. Map-Based Analysis The mappings were based on classifying and characterizing stakeholders according to specific categories of power, interest, influence, legitimacy, and urgency. Among the best known mapping techniques used in this study were those developed by Aggens [66], Grimble and Wella...
