Geographical Information Systems is a useful tool for marine geohazard mapping. This paper describes an integrated and systematic map-based approach for identification and characterization of submarine landslide with multidisciplinary data such as multibeam bathymetric data, multichannel seismic data, sidescan sonar and so on. Taking Liwan 31 gas field in northern continental slope of Southern ...

The objective of this study is to generate a flood hazard map based on geomorphologic approach employing Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) DEM and satellite image data (ASTER and LANDSAT). Supervised classification of satellite images is implemented to characterize land cover types. Moreover, the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) is undertaken to identify moist surface o...

We present a geomorphologic map of Titan’s polar terrains. The map was generated from a combination of Cassini Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Imaging Science Subsystem imaging products, as well as altimetry, SARTopo and radargrammetry topographic datasets. In combining imagery with topographic data, our geomorphologic map reveals a stratigraphic sequence from which we infer process interact...

The climate changes will be much more significant over the next 100 years and may lead to the heavy rainfall event. The heavy rainfall causes the flood hazard in the lowlands and geologic hazard in the mountains. Floods are also related to the changes in social economic conditions and land use. Recently, floods have been increasing due to rapid urbanization and human activity in the lowlands. T...
