The gods on the Parthenon frieze are represented as looking out real world from position of their material image Acropolis, displaying contemporary imperial self-awareness Athens. Poseidon’s gaze guards entrance to straits Artemisium. Hermes and Ares look towards Egypt with implicit adversary intent. Aphrodite pointing something Eros means that she is indicating a victim love in an unspecified ...

Abstract The polyphasic evolution of the testimonial buttes in central area Ebro basin (Los Monegros) is analysed. This a semiarid that favours high erosion rates. An evolutionary model Jubierre hills presented shows environmental cycles represented by aggradational and degradative processes on slopes resulted present arrangement talus flatiron rings. In four studied cases, relicts are composed...

Climatic conditions and in situ lithology govern the hydrogeological behaviour of badland surfaces in western Canada. Based on field observations, samples representing three distinct surfaces in the Avonlea badlands (60 km SSW of Regina) of Saskatchewan were collected. The influence of erosion on the engineering properties of this typical indigenous badland profile was investigated by measuring...

in order to recognize the wind erosion situation of a region, the survey of its windiness is not sufficient and the physical characteristics of earth are of importance too. in fact, the outbreak of dust storms in a region is due to the sensitivity of earth and domination of wind in that region. in this investigation we have tried to find a way for determining the regions in which a dust storm i...

Abstract Remote sensing (RS) applications have become an important tool for the rapid evaluation of water resources. This paper deals with the utilization of RS data as the main input in an integrated approach for groundwater targeting. The Mulug Taluk, with an areal extent of 3200 km, is one of the poor taluks in the Warangal District, Andhra Pradesh, India. A hydrogeomorphological study based...

The mounds of Macrotermes michaelseni (Sjöstedt) in northern Namibia have a characteristic architecture, being divided into three structurally distinct components: a central cone-shaped mound, topped by a tall, thin spire which tilts northward at an angle similar to the sun's average zenith angle, and a broad outwash pediment that results from erosion off the mound. Internally, the mound is per...
