This research focuses on the 2D and 3D geospatial analysis of the Ryukyu Trench, a deep-sea trench located in the western Pacific Ocean between Japan and Taiwan. The aim of the research is to visualize regional differences in the topography of the southern (S) and northern (N) parts of the...

This articles presents a new series of maps showing the climate and environmental variability of Botswana. Situated in southern Africa, Botswana has an arid to semi-arid climate, which significantly varies in its different regions: Kalahari Desert, Makgadikgadi Pan and Okavango Delta. While...

This study demonstrated the use of GRASS GIS scripts for satellite image analysis. The aim is to perform topographic and environmental analysis in eastern China, Shandong Province, Qingdao region. Variables include land surface temperature evaluated by correlation between the Landsat ETM+...

This paper presents a case of the script-based cartographic data processing by the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) and R language for geophysical mapping. The study area is located in Rwanda, Africa, which is notable for complex geological setting due to its specific location within the East African...

Dynamic Programming (DP) is a process of deriving an optimal solution to a mathematical problem that has an objective function and environmentally varying limitations. DP has some difficulties to set up structural equations as in other management science techniques. In this context, DP,...

The research problem is about to generate artificial fractal landscape surfaces from the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) using a stochastic algorithm by Geographic Resources Analysis Support System Geographic Information System (GRASS GIS) software. Fractal surfaces resemble appearance of natural...

The presented paper is focused on satellite image analysis using GRASS GIS. The aim is to perform comparative analysis of the land cover changes in Tokyo metropolitan area through spatial analysis. Data include multi-temporal Landsat TM satellite images on 2002, 2006 and 2011. The images were...

The European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is a cap and trade system to curb CO2 emissions. It has caused both direct costs (CO2 allowances) and indirect costs (higher electricity prices) to energy-intensive industries. Moreover, as there is no global CO2 agreement, the ETS could distort the...

A new methodology for calibrating parameters when working with intractable, dynamic structural models is developed. A straight-forward extension also allows for formal estimation and hypothesis testing in a Generalized Method of Moment framework. The method is based on multigrid techniques used...
