River and Coastal Action in Automatic Terrain Generation
نویسنده
چکیده
The erosive action of rivers and seas has immense influence on the appearance of the physical landscape. However, the creation of several important river and coastal features are not available in terrain creation software and systems. We have designed algorithms to easily create these features, namely (1) river meanders, (2) river deltas, (3) coastal cliffs, and (4) beaches. A terrain that does not have these features the looks unnatural. WaterWorld is a user-directed automatic terrain generation tool that we have designed. Similar to existing methods, it allows users to create mountains, canyons, rivers and seas. Its novelty is the inclusion of tools to create meanders, deltas, beaches and cliffs, to obtain a more realistic terrain..

Flood Modeling in the Coastal Plains and Mountains: Analysis of Terrain Resolution
The number of flood disasters has increased worldwide in recent decades. Identifying the optimal resolution or scale at which to represent digital terrain models DTMs is critical in order to improve our ability to accurately and efficiently model floods. Few studies have attempted to compare flood modeling results using different resolutions of DTMs in divergent environments. In this study floo...

Delta areas are dynamic features with changes occurring at many spatial and temporal scales due to catastrophic events. Change detection and providing a fluvial map of changes are the main requirements for environmental and zonal planners in many studies. Geomorphic changes such as temporal and periodic changes in riverbeds are common events in all delta areas. The Mehran river delta is located...

Fish assemblage was investigated during the study of longitudinal profile of the Ehania River Basin in south-eastern Côte d’Ivoire. This area is subjected to intense human activities with many plantations (palm tree, banana, pineapple, coffee, rubber and cocoa). Samples were collected, with gillnets of different mesh sizes, through 6 sampling surveys during dry and rainy seasons from February 2...
