  • CV-35 - Geovisualization | GIS&T Body of Knowledge 04.12.18, 12:47
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 Geovisualization Cöltekin, Arzu ; Janetzko, Halldór ; Fabrikant, Sara I Abstract: Geovisualization is primarily understood as the process of interactively visualizing geographic information in any of the steps in spatial analyses, even though it can also refer to the visual output (e.g., plots, maps, combinations of these), or the associated techniques. Rooted in cartography, geovisualization emerged as a research thrust with the leadership of Alan MacEachren (Pennsylvania State University) and colleagues when interactive maps and digitally-enabled exploratory data analysis led to a paradigm shift in 1980s and 1990s. A core argument for geovisualization is that visual thinking using maps is integral to the scientific process and hypothesis generation, and the role of maps grew beyond communicating the end results of an analysis or documentation process. As such, geovisualization interacts with a number of disciplines including cartography, visual analytics, information visualization, scientific visualization, statistics, computer science, art-and-design, and cognitive science; borrowing from and contributing to each. In this entry, we provide a definition and a brief history of geovisualization including its fundamental concepts, elaborate on its relationship to other disciplines, and briefly review the skills/tools that are relevant in working with geovisualization environments. We finish the entry with a list of learning objectives, instructional questions, and additional resources.

  • Marine Epibiota Increase Durability of Rock Mass Breakwaters Against Erosion: a Case Study in the Gulf of Oman, Iran
    Journal of the Persian Gulf (Marine Science)/Vol. 8/No. 30/ December 2017/14/39-52 Marine epibiota increase durability of rock mass breakwaters against erosion: A case study in the Gulf of Oman, Iran Ali Shahbazi1, Mohammad Reza Shokri2*, Seyed Mohammad Taghi Sadatipour3 1- Iranian Department of Marine Biology, Tonekabon Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tonekabon, Iran 2- Department of Animal Science and Marine Biology, Faculty of Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Shahid Beheshti University, G.C., Tehran, Iran 3- Faculty of Marine Science and Technology, North Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Received: August 2017 Accepted: December 2017 © 2017 Journal of the Persian Gulf. All rights reserved. Abstract The effect of marine species attached on rock mass breakwaters was evaluated on the durability of breakwaters against erosion in the Gulf of Oman, Iran. A suit of erosion indicators in rock boulders (i.e., chemical dissolution, full deterioration, roundness, exfoliation, lamination, fracture) were assessed qualitatively and visually between those materials with biota and those with no biota. The results showed that rock boulders with no biota were largely eroded than those boulders with attached biota. A significant difference was detected in all erosion indicators between rocks with attached biota and those with no biota suggesting that rocks with biota were significantly more durable against erosion than those with no biota. The conclusion from this study suggests that marine organisms attached to the rock mass breakwaters play a key role in the durability of these structures even if they are morphologically less qualified for breakwater construction according to the international standards.

  • Geomorphometry of Cerro Sillajhuay (Andes, Chile/Bolivia): Comparison of Digital Elevation Models (Dems) from ASTER Remote Sensing Data and Contour Maps
    Geomorphometry of Cerro Sillajhuay (Andes, Chile/Bolivia): Comparison of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) from ASTER Remote Sensing Data and Contour Maps Ulrich Kamp Department of Geography and Environmental Science Program, DePaul University 990 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago, IL 60614-2458, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected] Tobias Bolch Department of Geography, Humboldt University Berlin Rudower Chausse 16, Unter den Linden 6, 10099 Berlin, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Jeffrey Olsenholler Department of Geography and Geology, University of Nebraska - Omaha 6001 Dodge Street, Omaha, NE 68182-0199, U.S.A. [email protected] Abstract Digital elevation models (DEMs) are increasingly used for visual and mathematical analysis of topography, landscapes and landforms, as well as modeling of surface processes. To accomplish this, the DEM must represent the terrain as accurately as possible, since the accuracy of the DEM determines the reliability of the geomorphometric analysis. For Cerro Sillajhuay in the Andes of Chile/Bolivia two DEMs are compared: one derived from contour maps, the other from a satellite stereo-pair from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). As both DEM procedures produce estimates of elevation, quantative analysis of each DEM was limited. The original ASTER DEM has a horizontal resolution of 30 m and was generated using tie points (TPs) and ground control points (GCPs). It was then resampled to 15 m resolution, the resolution of the VNIR bands. Five parameters were calculated for geomorphometric interpretation: elevation, slope angle, slope aspect, vertical curvature, and tangential curvature. Other calculations include flow lines and solar radiation.
