Now that we have a texture function, we must decide how to map a square, flat texture onto the closed surface of a sphere; or in other words, how to transform a point on the surface of the sphere into an (i,j) texture coordinate. An obvious transformation is simply from longitude to...
My wisdom born in the belly of the earth. Within its mantle I sit in gentle repose. I am fertility and creation and through all that you see I exert my natural will. I am harmony and within nine stellar gates will I open the radiance of light ...
This study aims to provide an overview of research on various natural resource conflicts and cooperation in borderlands worldwide, considering the five spheres of the Earth system, namely the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere. The type, scope, and place of natural ...
The development of Earth’s critical zone concept has strengthened the capacity of environmental science to better solve real-world problems, such as metal(loid) pollution in the remote alpine areas. The selected metal(loid) contents in soil, moss, and water were investigated to explore the geoch...
