I make a case to abandon the use of term “ground truth.” After brief history that indicates its military origins, two main arguments are presented against term. The first is from measurement theory. second by way presenting three examples: in crop mapping, which truth” may have some validity. This as exception prove rule. example looks at albedo, measurand same for local and remote measurements...

growing environmental and social concerns, both on the part of decision makers and public opinion, have brought a new perspective to the perception of hazard assessments a valid alternative in the long-term, and an effective complement in short and medium terms, to traditional design procedure for a resistant and safe environment. results of the gradual development of research on the probabilis...

Depletion of groundwater aquifers along with all the associated quality and quantity problems which affect profitability direct agricultural urban users linked groundwater-ecosystems have been recognized globally. During recent years, attention has devoted to land subsidence—the loss elevation that occurs in areas certain geological characteristics aquifer exploitation. Despite large socioecono...
