A Graphical User Interface (GUI) was developed for a user-friendly implementation of a water depth correction model. The Interactive Data Language (IDL)-based tool provides the prospective users with an interface that can be applied to perform water depth correction on hyperspectral images that contain shallow water bodies containing benthic habitat information. Users can select a pixel or a su...

Rozenblit and Keil (2002) claim that people are subject to an illusion of explanatory depth (IOED) whereby they believe they understand the world in greater detail, coherence and depth than they actually do. In the present research, we questioned Rozenblit and Keil’s conclusions in two ways. First, we tested whether people might overestimate their explanatory knowledge as a result of misconstru...

Magnetotelluric (MT) method is an electromagnetic technique that uses the earth natural field to map the electrical resistivity changes in subsurface structures. Because of the high penetration depth of the electromagnetic fields in this method (tens of meters to tens of kilometers), the MT data is used to investigate the shallow to deep subsurface geoelectrical structures and their dimensions....

a major part of tidal energy is usually dissipated by the interaction of tidal currents with bottom topography. gulf of oman is a marginal sea which has variable topography and its dominant tidal constituent is m2 semi-diurnal tide. in this paper, the interaction of barotropic tidal current with bottom topography is evaluated. this phenomenon causes the formation of internal tide. internal tide...

in this paper a new method is proposed for interpretation of 2d magnetic data, using multiples of the analytic signal method, in which the analytic signal of magnetic anomaly is used directly to compute the depth and the structural index of the source instead of using its higher order derivatives. this method only needs the computation of the first order derivatives of the magnetic anomaly, so ...

Physical limits on ground-motion parameters can be estimated from spontaneous-rupture earthquake models but are subject to uncertainties in model parameters. We investigate physical limits at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, and assess sensitivities due to uncertainties in fault geometry, off-fault rock strength, the seismogenic depth, fault zone structure, and undrained poroelastic response of the flui...

Shallow landslides on steep slopes often mobilize as debris flows. The size of the landslide controls the initial size of the debris flows, defines the sediment discharge to the channel network, affects rates and scales of landform development, and influences the relative hazard potential. Currently the common practice in digital terrain-based models is to set the landslide size equal to an arb...
