Abstract Detailed mapping of topography is crucial for the understanding processes shaping surfaces planetary bodies. In particular, stereoscopic imagery makes a major contribution to topographic and especially supports geologic characterization surfaces. Image data provide basis extensive studies surface structure morphology on local, regional global scales using photogeologic information from...

This paper explores the geomorphological features of Ninety East Ridge (NER), Indian Ocean. NER presents especially long and linear topographic structure formed as a result complex regional geophysical geologic development. The research is based on high precision bathymetric, geological gravity data. submarine geomorphology was digitized three cross-sectional profiles. profiles were selected in...

During recent decades large changes in vegetation biomass have been observed in arctic and alpine areas. While these temporal trends have been clearly linked to changing climatic conditions, the drivers of local spatial variation in biomass are still relatively poorly understood. Thus, we examine the effects of abiotic conditions (as measured by ten variables representing topography, soil prope...
