Subglacial lakes beneath Antarctica’s fast-moving ice streams are known to undergo 1 km volume changes on annual timescales. Focusing on the MacAyeal Ice Stream (MacIS) lake system, we create a simple model for the response of subglacial water distribution to lake discharge events through assimilation of lake volume changes estimated from Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) laser a...

High temporal and spatial resolution optical image time series have been proven efficient for crop type mapping at the end of the agricultural season. However, due to cloud cover and image availability, crop identification earlier in the season is difficult. The recent availability of high temporal and spatial resolution SAR image time series, opens the possibility of improving early crop type ...

Computer simulations of a neural network model of I-D and 2-D brightness phenomena are presented. The simulations indicate how configural image properties trigger interactions among spatially organized contrastive, boundary segmentation, and filling-in processes to generate emergent percepts. They provide the fIrst unified mechanistic explanation of this set of phenomena, a number of which have...

Since the Land Administration Bureau was established in 1986, China has carried out the national land-use planning twice, of which the first was focused on "serving for social and economic development", and the second converted to “protecting arable land". At present a new round of land-use planning is ongoing (2005-2020), but the aims and requirements are even more and higher(Zheng Weiyuan,200...

The article is devoted to problems of formation and development cultural landscape space, created as a result K.G. Paustovsky's coworking with nature people, who were developing this land for many years. Cultural space "Meshchera – Land Paustovsky" includes variety natural landscapes objects covers extensive Prioksky area. proposes some ways the Paustovsky", that are based on filling historical...
