The Application of Fast Fourier Transform Filtering to High Spatial Resolution Digital Terrain Models Derived from LiDAR Sensors for the Objective Mapping of Surface Features and D... by Alberto González-Díez, Ignacio Díaz-Martínez, Pablo Cruz-Hernández, Antonio Barreda-Argüeso, Matthew Doughty

“…In this paper, the application is investigated of fast Fourier transform filtering (FFT-FR) to high spatial resolution digital terrain models (HR-DTM) derived from LiDAR sensors, assessing its efficacy in identifying genuine relief elements, including both natural geological features and anthropogenic landforms. The suitability of the derived filtered geomorphic references (FGRs) is evaluated through spatial correlation with ground truths (GTs) extracted from the topographical and geological geodatabases of Santander Bay, Northern Spain. …”

Investigation of Permeability Behavior of Sandy Soils Mixed with Industrial Waste by Baki Bağrıaçık, Esra Deniz Güner

“…The useful reuse of these industrial wastes will contribute to the economic development of the organizations and the country by reducing environmental pollution, reducing storage costs, reducing the use of limited natural resources and providing new generation materials. The geological origins of the ground and rock environments on which the structure is constructed have a very variable structure and different types of geological materials require different solutions in terms of design. …”

The Worm and the Ecologist: Experiencing Planetarity with Frank Herbert’s Dune by Pierre-Louis Patoine

“…This article explores how Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel Dune offers occasions for the development of an ecological, Gaian sensitivity, pushing the human sensorium towards the planetary (in relation to, and contradistinction to, the global, colonial, and imperial imaginaries) by using tools typical of fantasy and science fiction, such as world-building, immersion, sensationalism, terrain navigation, non-modern epistemologies, oneiric possession, geological actants, dragon-like giant sandworms, and human-eating birds. …”
