Analysis of Geospatial Route Reconnaissance Methods of Modern Day Battlefields
Route reconnaissance has been valuable for military commanders for centuries. Engineering forces are specifically tasked to gather route reconnaissance intelligence to present to the maneuver commander. US Army Engineers ...
Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction by Identification of Glacial Cave Deposits, Helderberg Plateau, Schoharie County, New York
Eight dissolution caves from the Helderberg Plateau in Schoharie County, New York were studied to investigate unusual sediment packages previously interpreted to be deposits laid down during stagnant ice-cover conditions ...
A Multi-Decadal Remote Sensing Study on Glacial Change in the North Patagonia Ice Field Chile
Glaciers in the North Patagonian Ice Fields are temperate glaciers and can be studied to understand the dynamics of climate change. However, the ice field has been neglected in mass balance studies. In this study, multi ...
Investigation of the Variability of Extreme Tornado Climatology
Previous tornado climatology research has relied primarily upon means of tornadoes or tornado days. Understanding the variability of tornado days however, will result in a more comprehensive understanding of the climatological ...
Quantification of Storm Surge Probability using Ensemble Slosh Model Data
One of the greatest hazards from hurricanes is the flooding due to storm surge. Emergency managers traditionally plan for storm surge by looking at the worst possible impact and design their plans accordingly. This is a ...
An Analysis into Relationships that may Exist between Population and the Reported Number of Tornadoes in the Continental United States
Many studies have suggested that the tornado database is biased by the concentration of human observers. Some studies have shown a possible 66% decrease in tornado reporting can be directly attributed to population density. ...
Bahamian Cave and Karst Geodatabase, and GIS Analysis of San Salvador Island, Bahamas
A geodatabase and a data management program have been created to store and manipulate cave and karst feature data from the Bahamas. A geographic information system was used to recognize any spatial patterns in the cave and ...
