Identification of Erosion Prone Areas by Morphometric Analysis Using GIS

Prioritisation of miniwatersheds based on Morphometric analysis using GIS

In the present study, the eighteen miniwatersheds of Kadam watershed of Middle Godavari sub basin (G-5) have been prioritized using GIS based on morphometric analysis. The highest Bifurcation ratio is found to be 11.95 for 4E3C5a. The Maximum values of Circularity ratio of 0.642 and Drainage density of 3.510 have been found in Lothuvara miniwatershed. The Maximum values of Stream frequency of 7...

GIS-based route planning in landslide-prone areas

Many parts of the world with young mountain chains, such as the Himalayas, are highly susceptible to landslides. Due to general ruggedness and steep slopes, roads provide the only way of transportation and connectivity in such terrains. Generally, landslide hazards are overlooked during route planning. In this study, in a test area in the Himalayas, various thematic layers, viz. landslide distr...

zoning sensitive areas to erosion in the kan basin by using geographic information system (gis)

correct estimates of the risk of erosion at improve land management advice plays an important role. in this study, erosion risk zoning in the kan basin with area about 20571 ha in the northwest of tehran by using the experimental model mpsiac and geographic information system (gis) were investigated and by using the base maps and gis, layers of information were prepared. after collecting, prepa...

Integrated Morphometric Analysis in GIS Environment Applied to Active Tectonic Areas

Morphometric Analysis of Volumes and Surface Areas

Stereologic analysis was made of cell surface membrane (PM) and two interrelated cytoplasmic membrane systems, the vacuole membranes (VM) and small vesicle membranes (SVM) . Volumes and surface areas of the three membrane compartments were measured during steady-state pinocytosis, when membrane recycling is rapid, and during phagocytosis, when a shift to a lower rate of membrane uptake by endoc...
