We present maps of the topographic roughness of the Moon at hectometer and kilometer scales. The maps are derived from range profiles obtained by the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft. As roughness measures, we used the interquartile range of profile curvature at several baselines, from 115 m to 1.8 km, and plotted these in...

This study investigates how deep-learning can be configured to optimise the prediction of 2D maximum water depth maps in urban pluvial flood events. A neural network model is trained exploit patterns hyetographs as well topographical data, with specific aim enabling fast predictions depths for observed rain events and spatial locations that have not been included training dataset. architecture ...

detention rockfill dams are accounted as economically efficient structures for flood control, river bed and banks protection, flow diversion, etc. as the hydraulic behavior of these structures, when are used for flood control, is affected by the depth of water in their porous media, there are interests to predict water surface profile through the body of these structures. in this research, we d...

Technologies such as aerial photogrammetry allow production of 3D topographic data including complex environments such as urban areas. Therefore, it is possible to create High Resolution (HR) Digital Elevation Models (DEM) incorporating thin above ground elements influencing overland flow paths. Even though this category of big data has a high level of accuracy, there are still errors in measur...

Surat is a highly developed, thickly populated cosmopolitan character city with full of various activities going on day and night. Any natural calamity which causes loss of lives to property and infrastructure along with effects on industrial processes going on has serious impact on economy of the state. Therefore, it becomes highly necessary that flood events are studied and analyzed properly ...

Recent advances in polarimetric SAR show promise for augmenting the capability of traditional interferometric SAR. In particular, a polarimetric topography technique provides useful slope information, and polarimetric interferometry may be used to decompose the response into vegetation and ground surface contributions. Here we discuss an integrated approach that utilizes the combined capability...
