DETERMINACIÓN DEL RIESGO DE EROSIÓN HÍDRICA DE SUELOS DE LOS DEPARTAMENTOS MINAS Y CHOS MALAL (NEUQUÉN) MEDIANTE LA APLICACIÓN DE LA ECUACIÓN UNIVERSAL DE PÉRDIDA DE SUELO (USLE)... by Laurentino Hernandez, Ana C. Dufilho

“…In this paper we estimated the potential loss of soil by water erosion under different land management scenarios, using Universal Soil Loss Equation and a Geographic Information System. The results indicated that 45.6% of the surface presented minor water erosion (<10 tons / ha / year), by 21.5% corresponded to high erosion (50-200 tonnes / ha / year) and 3.6% of the land was affected by current potential erosion loss, greater than 200 tonnes / ha / year.…”

Human behaviour and GIS by Mario Boffi, Matteo Colleoni

“…The paper explores cutting-edge issues concerning methods and tools for data collection on pedestrian mobility by GPS, integrated with activity data, for the transformation of track-points into relevant time-space indicators as well as analysis of-mobility pattern inside a GIS (Geographical Information System) environment. Thematic mapping and density models will be proposed as relevant methods for visualising human behaviour in the urban space. …”

Les sols créateurs de paysages à l’extrémité aval de l’île Saint-Denis by Jacques Dentzer, Théo Ramière, Grégory Garnier, Julie Carlier, Laurent Coudroy de Lille, Clara Delefosse, Jeanne Deschamps, Stéphane Mercier, Nathan Partouche, Ana Cristina Torres, Hugo Varin, Loreen Zuliani

“…The transformation of the Lil'Ô landscape and adjacent land by land use since the 20th century is studied using in situ observations, interviews, archives and the integration of aerial images in a geographic information system (GIS). A temporal landscape in motion is described in the course of a century following an inventory of current land use in the presence of pollution. …”

Spatial Interpolation of Daily Rainfall Data for Local Climate Impact Assessment over Greater Sydney Region by Xihua Yang, Xiaojin Xie, De Li Liu, Fei Ji, Lin Wang

“…The results indicate that Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method is slightly better than the other three methods and it is also easy to implement in a geographic information system (GIS). The IDW method was then used to produce forty-year (1990–2009 and 2040–2059) time series rainfall data at daily, monthly, and annual time scales at a ground resolution of 100 m for the Greater Sydney Region (GSR). …”
