“Urban by nature”: The Sokoto jihadist approach to urban planning by Stephanie Zehnle

“…Like other Islamic reform and state-building movements across the pre-colonial Sahel, the Sokoto Jihad of 1804 had started genuine urbanization processes with architectural references to Islamic ideals of inhabited space. But in the early Sokoto Empire, jihadist urban planning met with a Hausa environment already divided into urban centers and rural areas. …”

Mapping of Agate-like Soil Cover Structures Based on a Multitemporal Soil Line Using Neural Network Filtering of Remote Sensing Data by Dmitry I. Rukhovich, Polina V. Koroleva, Alexey D. Rukhovich, Mikhail A. Komissarov

“…The present study focuses on analysis of the soil cover structure (SCS, SCSs), which is the most detailed level of soil organization in space. The detail in which complex SCS can be studied is often insufficient, since until now it has not been possible to map it over large areas at scales larger than 1:10,000. …”
