Sex differences in navigation have been a topic of investigation for decades and has subjected to various contradictory findings debates. The aim this work was compare the spatial memory men women tested different types tasks, while controlling strategies aging. It is generally thought that outperform higher scores on object location tasks. However, many studies fail control factors may bias on...

Slope units represent surface slopes by means of polygons delimited drainage and divide lines obtained on a digital topography. Objective slope unit delineation for given elevation model is still an open issue and, often, limitation that may dictate the use more traditional pixel-based approach spatial analysis. Availability maps facilitates many kinds studies allows scholars to focus specific ...

Identifying a good site for groundwater exploration in hard rock terrain is a challenging task. In hard rocks, groundwater occurs in secondary porosity developed due to weathering, fracturing, faulting, etc., which is highly variable and varies sharply within very short distances, contributing to near-surface inhomogeneity. In such situations topographic, hydrogeological and geomorphological fe...

Historical records, recent observations, and geomorphological evidence indicate that rates of retreat and downwasting of the tidewater Stephenson Glacier, and concurrent expansion of ice-marginal melt-lakes, has increased by an order of magnitude since 1987. Melt-lake expansion is partly the product of greatly accelerated ablation of older, ice-cored twentieth-century moraines. The timing of th...

According to the perception that subjects have about geographic objects, people can evaluate their proximity. The answers to the question if a geographic object is near other will be different according to the environment that the objects belong to. Also, when we consider geographic objects that do not have well defined boundaries, the perceptions of people with respect to the distance will be ...

A correct landslide hazard assessment (LHA) is fundamental for any purpose of territorial planning. In Italy, the methods currently in use to achieve this objective alternate between those based on mainly qualitative (geomorphological) and quantitative (statistical–numerical) approaches. The present study contributes evaluation best procedure be implemented LHA, comparing results obtained using...
