Scientists from the National Remote Sensing Centre, Andhra University College of Engineering and Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya utilised an image analysis technique - Object-Based Image Analysis - to demarcate various landforms such as ridges, marshes, mangroves etc.

Indian Scientists have developed a remote sensing technique that uses satellite data to delineate between various coastal landforms like beaches, mangroves and marshes. This method can help monitor and understand impacts of natural disasters as well as human activities on coastal ecosystem. Coastal ...

The fourth graders studied Earth's landforms and presented their play on the formation of the different continents via the volcanoes and the shaking of the tectonic plates – with the help of the Yeti of course.

Students presented models to show how different landforms were formed due to agents of denudation and how it is responsible for erosional and depositional landforms of river, glaciers, sea waves, wind and underground water. Principal Dr Mukti Gill appreciated the efforts of students and staff. — TNS ...

TERN and the University of Adelaide have addressed this information gap with a new set of national maps that capture three major factors driving ecosystem formation—macroclimate, lithology and landform, with multiple spatial indicators for each. Vegetation structure has also been mapped and combined ...

Scientists have been familiar with Finnish landforms for decades. Now, however, researchers from the University of Turku have discovered a new landform previously unknown to science with the aid of laser technology. After the initial discovery in Finland, similar forms have also been found in Sweden.

“Planetary geology is a very broad field of study, but my career so far has mostly focused on two things: glacio -volcanic landforms, which are landforms that resulted from lava coming into contact with ice on Mars and relating climate models for ancient Mars to the locations of ancient Martian lakes and rivers ...
