INTEGRATING GEO-STATISTICS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN GEOTECHNICAL SOIL PROFILING

Profiling and Zoning of Geotechnical Sub-soil Data Using Geographic Information System

This research paper presents a compendium of the geotechnical sub-soil data profiling and zoning of the major urban settlements of Peshawar using Geographic Information System. Significant geotechnical properties of the under study area soils i.e., Zone 5 & 6 in Peshawar were assessed through one hundred and three different standard penetration test reports up to the depth of 1 m and 3 m. The q...

Geo-statistical Distribution of Heavy Metals in Karoon River’s Soil by Geographic Information System

Introduction: Soil has an important role in nutrient cycle and an important function in storage, refinement, and movement of nutrients for the living and non-living parts. Soil pollution of heavy metals and elements is one of the common pollution impacts of human activities, especially industry. Realization of distribution pattern of these elements and their anthropogenic sources is a major par...

Integrating Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Integrating Geographic Information Systems with Hydrological Modeling

During the past two decades, geographic information systems (GIS) have played a more significant role in the realm of science. This paper reviews some representative approaches about the integration of GIS and hydrological modeling. Among the different kinds of hydrological modeling this paper will mainly focus on urban flooding modeling, surface water quality modeling, and groundwater vulnerab...

Geographic Information Systems : toward a Geo - Relational Structure

The paper distinguishes features of computer-aided mapping and geographic information systems and identifies an emerging link. Common to both systems is the need to link graphic data and attribute data. This geo-relational structure requires a one-to-one relationship of the graphic record with the record of the table of attributes. Combining distance-referenced line data with a topological data...
