Mars' north pole is covered by a dome of layered ice deposits. Detailed ( approximately 30 centimeters per pixel) images of this region were obtained with the High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). Planum Boreum basal unit scarps reveal cross-bedding and show evidence for recent mass wasting, flow, and debris accumulation. The north polar laye...

Dark image enhancement is an essential requirement in image processing domain. As images are captured in different illumination conditions, it is important to enhance dark images or color images suffering from lack of contrast. The present algorithmsfor contrast enhancement sometimes result in artifacts andunnecessary changes. Recently Rivera et al. proposed a content aware algorithm for dark i...

Bamboo forest is a unique landscape that mainly composed of herbal plants. It has stronger capability to increase terrestrial carbon sinks than woody forests in the same environment, thus playing special role absorbing atmospheric CO2. Accurate and timely bamboo maps are necessary better understand quantify their contribution hydrological cycles. Previous studies have reported phenology pattern...

Crystallization fouling presents a significant challenge in wide range of industries. Accurate understanding crystal formation is crucial for planning preventative measures and maximizing the effectiveness maintenance interventions. In this study, we demonstrate that net deposition rates depends on knowledge detachment mechanisms distribution characteristics. We quantify once-through flow set-u...

Rapid earth surface evolution is discrete in nature, with short-duration extreme events having a widespread impact on landscapes despite occurring relatively infrequently. Here, we exploit unique opportunity to identify the broad, process-based, controls sediment production and export during rainfall-runoff through multi-catchment analysis. A 3 hr rainfall event generated significantly differen...
