At a finer resolution of 30 meters, FABDEM53 was also considered but was ultimately found to contain building heights that skewed the terrain elevations. We delineate the urban region based on the administrative boundaries of each city. Synthetic urban forms We conceptualize city urban form with ...
Learning how to photograph the moon has long been one of the greatest joys of a photographer's journey in learning astrophotography.
Here are some general ideas onatmosphere lesson plansor how we make maps for each of these upperlayers in our atmosphere. The links below will tell you more about higher elevations and their interactions with the atmosphere. An example of aphysics formulaor two getting applied to meteorology mig...
Avalanche hazard often varies by aspect and elevation. Manyavalanche forecastcenters use anavalanche danger roseto forecast the distribution of the different avalanche problems at different aspects and elevations. The danger rose, in conjunction with your map, is a good place to start when planning a...
Your other option, of course, is to always travel below 11,000 feet. If you do, however, find yourself still being productive at lower elevations, you are going to have to come up with something better thanBarking Spiders. Backpacking,Entertainment,Wilderness ...
forecast the distribution of the different avalanche problems at different aspects and elevations. The danger rose, in conjunction with your map, is a good place to start when planning a tour. Use the forecast to help you pick a safe objective for the day, rather than choosing a location ...
The first country to be mapped entirely with topographic maps was France in 1789, while in the USA, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) just started the process in 1879. The first maps were based on sketches that surveyors made using analog tools to measure distance, angles, and elevations....
Much of contemporary landslide research is concerned with predicting and mapping susceptibility to slope failure. Many studies rely on generalised linear m
Here we show how major rivers can efficiently connect to the deep-sea, by analysing the longest runout sediment flows (of any type) yet measured in action on Earth. These seafloor turbidity currents originated from the Congo River-mouth, with one flow travelling >1,130 km whilst acceleratin...
It often dictates our travels – during the summer months, we seek out northern climes and higher elevations. In the winter, we gravitate toward sunnier, warmer areas (although we really enjoy winter van life in the mountains). But we’ve also frequently had to change plans because of ...
