Modern tools for cost-effective conservation reserve site planning require the planner to have information about spatial distributions of conservation costs and benefits. Climate change creates unprecedented uncertainty about future land values and species habitat ranges, such that conservation...

Geologic and geophysical mapping has been so far limited to the traditional single-method GIS-based mapping. A new approach combining integrated analysis of data on geology, gravity, topography and geomorphology is presented for regional characterization of the geophysical setting in Mongolia:...

The study presents a comparative analysis of eight Vegetation Indices (VIs) used to examine vegetation greenness over the northern coasts of Iceland. The geographical extent of the study area is set by the coordinates of the two fjords, Eyjafjörður and Skagafjörður, notable for their...

The paper focuses on analysis of Central Asian hydro- energetic system and water usage in Tian Shan region. Tian Shan system is an important water resource in Central Asia: river waters are intensely taken for hydropower energy, urban systems, irrigation. But geopolitics in Tian Shan is...

The object of this paper is the research of agronomic and quality trains of winter varieties (hordeum vulgare L.) their adaptability and specific reactions towards growing conditions in the Republic of Kosovo. During three year trails on localities in Dukagjini area and area of Kosovo we...

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...

This paper presents a GMT scripting technique for mapping seismic moment tensor solutions. The underlying geophysical properties and settings of the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP) situated on the margins of the Pacific Ocean are analysed. Active volcanism and high seismicity of this region located...

Unlimited access to energy sources is essential for modern development. Especially, for a developing country like Bangladesh, having a sustained energy supply is a prerequisite for economic growth. To alleviate poverty in the face of limited resources and high population density, Bangladesh...

Public trustees at the state, federal, and tribal level are tasked with ensuring that those responsible for destroying or damaging natural resources sufficiently compensate the public for its loss. Those trustees have the fiduciary duty to maintain and restore the natural resources within the...

To compensate for a grave environmental injustice -- climate change caused by industrial pollution -- Northern legal solutions should not exacerbate the problem. In this article, I describe how environmental goals are undermined when domestic nations of the North implement greenhouse gas...
