Title: A tale of two land uses in the American West: rural residential growth and energy development
Abstract:
This paper describes a spatiotemporal land use map for a
rural county in the western United States. Sublette County, Wyoming has
undergone recent land use change in the form of heightened rural
residential development on private land and increased energy development
on both public and private land. In this study we integrate energy
production data, population census data, ownership parcel data, and a
series of Landsat Thematic Mapper and Enhanced Thematic Mapper scenes
(over a 25-year period) to create a map that illustrates the changing
landscape. Spatial change on the landscape is mapped at 30 square meters,
congruent with a Landsat pixel. Sublette County has a wealth of wildlife
and associated habitat which is affected by both types of growth. While we
do not attempt to quantify the effect of disturbance on wildlife species,
we believe our results can provide important baseline data that can be
incorporated into land use planning and ecological-wildlife research at
the landscape scale.

Title: County-level poverty estimates for the contiguous United States, 2001, 2005
Abstract:
Efforts to estimate various sociodemographic variables in
small geographical areas are proving difficult with the replacement of the
Census long form with the American Community Survey (ACS). Researchers
interested in sub-national demographic processes have generally relied on
Census long form data products in order to answer research questions. ACS
data products promise to begin providing up-to-date profiles of the
nation's population and economy; however, unit and item-level non-response
in the ACS have left researchers with gaps in sub-national coverage
resulting in unstable and unreliable estimates for basic demographic
measures. Borrowing information from neighboring areas and across time
with a spatiotemporal smoothing process based on Bayesian statistical
methods, it is possible to generate more stable and accurate estimates of
rates for geographic areas not represented in the ACS. This research
assesses this spatiotemporal smoothing process in its ability to derive
estimates of poverty rates at the county level for the contiguous United
States. These estimates are then compared to more traditional estimates
from the Census, and error rates are calculated to evaluate the practical
application of this smoothing method. The resulting summary choropleth map
displays the Bayesian estimates of county-level poverty at a scale of 1 to
12,000,000 along with summary choropleth maps of the more traditional
estimates at a scale of 1 to 37,000,000 for 2001 and 2005. Error rates
indicate that the Bayesian estimates of county-level poverty produced by
our succinct model produce results similar to more complex traditional
estimates produced by the Census.

Title: Mapping the evolution of racially mixed and segregated neighborhoods in Chicago
Abstract:
The Chicago metropolitan region consists of a spatially
complex mosaic of neighborhoods, in which measures of racial and ethnic
composition vary dramatically. Understanding these patterns and their
evolution has been hindered by ambiguities in the use of terms like
'diverse' or 'segregated', which are often posited as opposite ends of a
one-dimensional scale. Using a new taxonomy of neighborhood composition,
we have mapped the evolving patterns of Chicago's neighborhoods in 1990,
2000, and 2010, and tabulated census tracts that have undergone
transitions or remained stable. Looking beyond the Chicago metropolitan
area, we have developed an interactive atlas of similar maps for states
and metropolitan areas across the United States.

Title: Social inequalities in neighborhood conditions: spatial relationships between sociodemographic and food environments in Alameda County, California
Abstract:
Previous research suggests that neighborhoods in the United
States with high concentrations of poverty or of racial/ethnic minorities
have lower access to healthy foods and greater access to unhealthy foods,
compared with higher income or predominantly White, non-Hispanic
neighborhoods. Lower access is thought to influence dietary habits and
resulting health consequences, such as obesity. While most studies have
focused on either neighborhood SES or features of the built environment,
few have explicitly examined both. Using data from the Geographic Research
on Wellbeing study, we map the spatial relationships between
sociodemographic characteristics (poverty trajectories,
racial/ethnic/nativity composition) and food environments in Alameda
County, California. Our map presents poverty trajectories and
racial/ethnic/nativity composition at the tract level, as well as maps
depicting accessibility to healthy, unhealthy, and a composite of both,
based on rasterized maps and a network analysis of food types within a
quarter-mile walking distance. We found that neighborhoods that have
experienced long-term poverty have the greatest access to both healthy and
unhealthy food outlets compared with more economically advantaged
neighborhoods. We also found that predominantly Black/Latino neighborhoods
had the greatest access to healthy foods compared with other neighborhoods
with a different race/ethnicity/nativity composition. Neighborhoods
experiencing long-term affluence, as well as predominantly White
neighborhoods, had the lowest access to any of the food types, which
likely reflects their surburban locations. Results suggest that spatial
relationships between sociodemographic characteristics and food access at
the neighborhood level depend upon place and urbanization.

Title: Mapping spatial variations of health insurance coverage in the Coastal Bend, Texas
Abstract:
A 2010 Health Needs Assessment for 15 counties of the Coastal
Bend in the state of Texas indicates limited access to health care
services and health insurance coverage is a main potential barrier to
health care for some segments of the Coastal Bend population. The purpose
of this paper is to obtain geographical sight of the health insurance
coverage. The hypothesis is that the health insurance coverage by racial
and ethnic groups would vary spatially. Data came from the local hospital
systems and included 145,669 patient visits from 1 September 2007 through
31 August 2009. A series of maps were produced showing financial class
categories for both Hispanics and Whites adults by combining the
cross-tabulations of patient data and estimated population both at the zip
code level. The maps show that the health insurance coverage disparities
vary spatially within zip codes in the Coastal Bend. Moreover, Hispanic
and White adult patients do not follow the same pattern of spatial
distribution.

Title: Regional mortality differentials in Greece by selected causes of death: 2006-2008
Abstract:
Deaths due to neoplasms and diseases of the circulatory and
the respiratory system represent 80% of all deaths in Greece. In the
context of dearth of statistical analysis of spatial patterns of
cause-specific mortality in Greece, this paper aims at studying the
distribution and structure of appropriate mortality measures for the above
mentioned causes of death at prefecture level. To achieve this, official
statistics on deaths (2006-2008) and population (2007) are employed and
Standardized Mortality Ratios (SMRs) by gender and cause of death are
estimated using as 'standard' mortality schedule the national age-sex and
cause-specific death rates. Estimation of Moran's I statistic revealed the
existence of significant positive spatial autocorrelation for neoplasms
and circulatory diseases. Empirical Bayes procedures were employed to
adjust SMR values which, although show less dispersion, were close to the
original estimates. The thematic maps depict regions with relatively high
(SMRs > 100) or low (SMRs > 100)
mortality and their significance levels, indicating that spatial patterns
exhibit many similarities between sexes for each cause of death. SMRs for
neoplasms and circulatory diseases show a roughly similar tendency; lower
mortality compared to the country's average in southern and western Greece
and the islands, and higher mortality in northern Greece, especially in
the Region of East Macedonia and Thrace. Patterns due to respiratory
diseases, on the other hand, differ somewhat but the corresponding
relative risks are not as significant. Thorough observation and analysis
of the conditions prevailing in northern Greece is needed to identify
factors exacerbating ill health.

Title: Mapping different forms of mobility in the Milan urban region
Abstract:
The increase in urban mobility is one of the key issues of
contemporary cities. The need for new types of data and representations
useful to describe the new forms of daily urban mobility is widely known.
The wider urban scale - named urban region - is the scale at which most of
the urban and socio-economical phenomena are visible. Urban growth
patterns, settlements and activities distribution, demographics and
economics dynamics can be fully understood and interpreted at this macro
scale, which is not recognizable on the administrative boundaries. The aim
of this paper is to present three approaches to mobility mapping based on
different data sources, both traditional and innovative, for the Milan
urban region (Northern Italy). Traditional sources for the analysis of
daily mobility are Census data or surveys based on interviews to mobile
populations. They provide a very partial picture of the mobility practices
in urban areas, because they collect only flows for job and study
purposes. Innovative sources of data are mobile phone activity data that
have been used for building a sequence of mobility maps in a typical
working day. The Main
Map is therefore composed of two parts: a representation of
systematic and non-systematic mobility in the Milan urban region; and a
sequence of maps created by using telephone traffic data showing daily
mobility patterns. These maps can provide useful information for
understanding the recent changes that had occurred in the Milan urban
region, but they can also offer a methodological reference for the
analysis of mobility in general.

Title: Health, poverty, and place in Accra, Ghana: mapping neighborhoods
Abstract:
The overall objective of our research project is to
understand the spatial inequality in health in Accra, the capital city of
Ghana. We also utilize GIS technology to measure the association of
adverse health and mortality outcomes with neighborhood ecology. We
approached this in variety of ways, including multivariate analysis of
imagery classification and census data. A key element in the research has
been to obtain in-person interviews from 3200 female respondents in the
city, and then relate health data obtained from the women to the ecology
of the neighborhoods in which they live. Detailed maps are a requirement
for these field-based activities. However, commercially available street
maps of Accra tend to be highly generalized and not very useful for the
kind of health and social science research being undertaken by this
project. The purpose of this paper is to describe street maps that were
created for the project's office in downtown Accra and used to locate
households of respondents. They incorporate satellite imagery with other
geographic layers to provide the most important visual interpretation of
the linkage between imagery and neighborhoods. Ultimately, through a
detailed analysis of spatial disparities in health in Accra, Ghana, we aim
to provide a model for the interpretation of urban health inequalities in
cities of urbanizing and often poor countries.

Title: Residential segregation by age in the United States
Abstract:
This map analyzes geographic variation in residential
segregation by age in the contiguous United States at Census 2010. We
evaluate segregation at the micro-scale between blocks within counties and
then examine spatial patterns of segregation by county across the United
States using local indicators of spatial autocorrelation. This approach
emphasizes local levels of segregation analyzing the extent to which older
adults and younger adults reside in the same immediate neighborhood, and
it assesses more regional levels of segregation by evaluating spatial
clustering. Findings show that the extent of age segregation varies
significantly across the contiguous United States. Counties in the Great
Plains, in other areas of the Rural West and the Upper Midwest, and in
Florida tend to exhibit high segregation, while Appalachia and other areas
of the Rural South are generally more integrated.

Title: School segregation in Jefferson County and the affiliated Louisville metropolitan area, USA
Abstract:
This article explores the spatiotemporal patterns of school
segregation between blacks and whites in Jefferson County and its
affiliated Louisville metropolitan area. The classical dissimilarity index
and the GIS-oriented spatial segregation measure - S index are used to
estimate school segregation based on public school enrollment data
(1987-2008). Findings call for the significance of measuring school
segregation from a metropolitan-wide perspective rather than focusing on
the urban school district alone. Also, results indicate that
between-district segregation represents the majority of overall
segregation in the entire Louisville metropolitan area. Most importantly,
the GIS-based S Index enriches segregation studies by mapping the dynamic
patterns of racial disparities while permitting a statistical estimate of
segregation.

Title: The Spanish population during the twentieth century and beyond
Abstract:
Mapping of population change enables study of the demographic
dynamics of a country, as the rate of change is one of the major variables
affecting the society and development. In this study we mapped population
change in Spain over the period 1900-2011. The resulting map provides a
very useful tool for spatial planning because it shows the main patterns
of the population. The map is highly detailed, representing municipalities
at a scale of 1:3,200,000, and includes a series of seven provincial maps
at a scale of 1:15,000,000. All are proportional symbol maps representing
two real variables: population change (which is represented by color hue
and lightness), and total population by size. The use of a comparable
diverging color scheme to represent population change and volume, and a
double-constriction system to represent population size, has resulted in
development of an easily accessible map from a quite complicated process
of design.

Title: Unifying regional soil maps at different scales to generate a national soil map for the United Arab Emirates applying digital soil mapping techniques
Abstract:
Soil information and soil maps have been compiled and are
available for the entire United Arab Emirates (UAE), however, no national
soil map has yet been published. Soil maps of Abu Dhabi Emirate (84% of
the UAE), and the Northern Emirates (11%) were published in 2009 and 2012,
respectively while a soil map of Dubai Emirate (5%) was published in 2005,
but with different standards and procedures. The aim of the present study
is to unify the three regional soil maps into a national soil map for the
entire UAE. Because the Dubai soil map is different from the other two
maps, the original boundaries and soil classifications had to be modified.
Digital soil mapping techniques, including use of the Shuttle Radar
Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation model, were applied to modify,
integrate, and correlate the soil map of Dubai Emirate. SRTM was used to
guide line placement of the Dubai map units' boundaries. It was especially
helpful for the Torripsamments great group, which was separated into three
classes based on relief. ArcGIS was used to compile and manage geographic
information, and the USDA Soil Taxonomy was used to classify soils. A
generalized soil map for the UAE at a scale of 1:700,000 was produced. The
map consists of 15 map units named by the great groups that dominate each
unit. The overall extent and percentage of each great group within each
emirate is calculated and presented. The map provides a general overview
of the distribution of soils making up the UAE.

Title: Facies associations map of the Pliocene marine deposits of the central-southern Siena Basin (Tuscany, Italy)
Abstract:
The Siena Basin is a post-collisional basin of the inner
Northern Apennines (Tuscany, Italy) characterized by a thick siliciclastic
Neogene infill, mainly composed of marine sediments with subordinate
alluvial deposits close to basin margins. The central-southern sector of
the basin shows a more complex stratigraphy with the occurrence of sandy
deposits also in distal areas, far from the basin margin. The aim of this
paper is to provide a new 1:10,000-scale geological map of this key sector
(about 45 km-super-2) of the Siena Basin, helpful for a better
reconstruction of its sedimentary evolution. The new fieldwork was based
on the identification and mapping of different facies associations
(expression of different sedimentary environments), whose shifts in time
and space provide elements to understand the basin-fill history. The
recognition of two main intra-Pliocene erosional surfaces allowed the
subdivision of the succession into three alloformations. Therefore, a more
complex depositional history, with respect to the previous knowledge for
this key-sector of the Siena Basin, has been reconstructed, thus
highlighting the importance of this kind of approach with respect to the
classical lithostratigraphic criteria.

The Sassa gabbro complex outcrops in the upper Valpelline and
is part of the Permian gabbros of the Collon - Matterhorn group, set in
the Dent Blanche nappe of the Western Austroalpine tectonic system. This
1:2500-scale map was constructed through the synergic use of meso- and
microscopic analysis of fabrics to identify the relationships of the
superposed foliations with the growth of equilibrium mineral assemblages.
Throughout the foliation trajectories, a mosaic of rock volumes, in which
strain is differently partitioned, is highlighted on the map for all the
successive deformation stages. Therefore, this mosaic shows deformation
gradients spanning from unstrained or weakly strained domains, where the
primary magmatic features are still well preserved, to domains in which
the Alpine fabrics are pervasive and obliterate the previous structures.
The pre-Alpine history is characterized by the polyphasic emplacement of
the Sassa gabbro and by a coronitic growth of successive mineral
assemblages during crustal thinning-related exhumation. The Alpine history
is characterized by multistage heterogeneous deformation consisting of a
first D1 stage developed in blueschist facies conditions followed by D2
and D3 stages developed in greenschist facies conditions. In summary, by
applying this analytical method, the geologic traces of the pre-Alpine
lithospheric thinning and Alpine subduction histories have been separated.

Title: An updated moraine map of Far NE Russia
Abstract:
Barr and Clark published a series of maps depicting the
distribution of end moraines across Far NE Russia. These moraines outlined
the former distribution and dimensions of glaciers, and were identified
through the analysis of Landsat ETM+ satellite images (15- and 30-m
resolution). Now, a number of freely available digital elevation model
(DEM) datasets are available, which cover the entire ∼4 million
km-super-2 of Far NE Russia. These include the 30-m resolution ASTER GDEM
and the 90-m resolution Viewfinder Panorama DEM. Here we use these
datasets, in conjunction with Landsat ETM+ images, to complete the process
of systematically and comprehensively mapping end moraines. With the aid
of the DEMs described above, here we present a total dataset of 8414
moraines, which almost quadruples the inventory of Barr and Clark. This
increase in the number of moraines is considered to reflect the utility of
the DEMs for mapping glacial landforms. In terms of moraine distribution,
the Barr and Clark map and the one presented here are comparable, with
moraines found to cluster in highland regions and upon adjacent lowlands,
attesting to the former occupation of the region by mountain-centred ice
masses. This record is considered to reflect palaeoclimatic and
topographic controls upon the extent and dynamics of palaeoglaciers, as
well as spatial variability in moraine preservation.

Title: A glacial geomorphological map of the Monadhliath Mountains, Central Scottish Highlands
Abstract:
The Monadhliath Mountains in the Central Scottish Highlands
are dominated by an extensive plateau area that has received little
Quaternary research attention during the last century. Previous studies
have focussed on the geomorphology and sedimentology of isolated valleys
and therefore the 1:57,500 map presented here provides the first
systematic assessment of the glacial geomorphology of the region as a
whole, covering an area of approximately 840 km-super-2. Results of
mapping from remotely sensed imagery and in the field reveal a large
number of moraines and ice-marginal meltwater channels both within outlet
valleys and on the plateau, alongside a wide range of glacial, periglacial
and fluvial features including glaciolacustrine landforms and sediments,
lake overflow channels, ice-contact fans, blockfields, solifluction lobes,
alluvial fans, debris cones, river terraces and rock slope failures. The
spatial distribution of the majority of landforms indicates that the
region was dominated by at least one local plateau icefield glaciation.
The map now provides a framework for further analysis, which will greatly
improve understanding of the extent and dynamics of former ice masses in
the region.

Title: Geomorphological features of the Rio della Rocca valley (northern Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents a geomorphological map of the Rio della
Rocca valley, a small catchment located in the lower Apennines of the
Province of Reggio Emilia (northern Italy). The geomorphological map has
been produced at a scale 1:7500 as a base document within
multidisciplinary investigations aimed at the rehabilitation of the area,
which is characterised by peculiar geological and geomorphological
features and a high scenic value, despite clear evidence of human impact.
Since the mid 1950s the valley has been affected by quarrying activities
which in some places have deeply changed its environmental and, in
particular, geomorphological features. As a part of the research,
geomorphological survey and mapping were carried out in order to detect
the main slope instability and erosional processes and landforms and, at
the same time, to recognise sites of geological and geomorphological
interest. Proposals for territorial development have been proposed which
take into account geotourism and recreational issues.

Title: Photo-lithological map of the southern flank of the Tindouf Basin (Western Sahara)
Abstract:
This paper examines the potential to map surface geology by
applying specific enhancement techniques to Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery,
resulting in false color composite images, which were interpreted and then
validated during a field campaign. The study area is located on the
southern flank of the Tindouf Basin (Western Sahara), and it is noted that
there is a general lack of bibliographic data due both to the region's
remote location and to its difficult political situation. A number of
photo-lithological units were mapped within the Proterozoic basement and
the sedimentary succession of the Tindouf Basin incisively contributing to
the knowledge of the geological setting of this area.

Title: Geological map of the ultra-high pressure Brossasco-Isasca unit (Western Alps, Italy)
Abstract:
In the southern Dora-Maira Massif, Western Alps, slivers of
continental crust with similar lithologies, but recrystallized during the
Alpine orogeny at different peak-P conditions, are
exposed. They include the Brossasco-Isasca Unit (BIU) where coesite was
first discovered in continental crust. A new 1:20,000-scale geologic map
and related cross-sections of the whole BIU and adjoining units is
presented, in which the most significant features useful to infer the
pre-Alpine history and the Alpine tectonic and metamorphic evolution, are
summarized. Thanks to detailed petrography and petrology, the geologic map
shows the precise location of ultra-high pressure (UHP)
minerals (such as coesite), and the locations of the most significant
mineral assemblages (such as kyanite + jadeite). This innovative approach
is used to distinguish the BIU from the adjacent units. Relict pre-Alpine
structures (such as igneous intrusive contacts with basement xenoliths and
metagranitoids) are summarized in a sketch illustrating the geologic
setting of the UHP metamorphic unit as inferred before
the Alpine orogeny.

Title: Mapping the elevation change of Lambert Glacier in East Antarctica using ICESat GLAS
Abstract:
We initially derived elevation changes of Geoscience Laser
Altimeter System level-2 altimetry data of Lambert Glacier overlapping
footprints during each mission from 2003 to 2008. Then, surface elevation
changes during every two adjacent missions were interpolated using inverse
distance weighted, natural neighbor, triangulated irregular network with
linear method, radial basis functions and ANUDEM in ArcGIS. The best
results were obtained by ANUDEM, so these data were clipped to conform to
the study area boundary defined by hydrology tools. Finally, elevation
changes over 10 periods were mapped. In these maps, we chose the Antarctic
digital elevation model as background and used a translucent layer to mask
the area outside Lambert Glacier, and then displayed elevation changes
using gradient colors. Results indicate that elevation changes of the
entire Lambert Glacier are not evident, particularly in the upstream area.
There are a few elevation changes in some downstream areas. Elevation of
the grounding zone in the southernmost Amery Ice Shelf decreased more than
2 m in 2004-2005, 2006-2007, and during 2008.

Title: Geochemical atlas of the Medvednica Mt.: natural distribution of geochemical elements in stream sediments
Abstract:
The sample catchment basin approach applying the active
stream sediment as a sampling medium is a frequently used cartographic
technique for mapping geochemical data. It is particularly useful in
mountainous areas with developed drainage network where each individual
catchment basin can be assumed to represent an elementary map unit. Stream
sediments have been widely used during the last two decades as an
alternative sampling medium (vs. soils and overbank sediments) for
regional geochemical exploration, mineral exploration, and geochemical
mapping as well as for fingerprinting purposes and provenance studies. In
this study, uninhabited slopes of the Medvednica Mt. in the close vicinity
of the Croatian capital Zagreb, including the whole Medvednica Nature
Park, have been selected as an appropriate geochemical environment for
evaluation of geochemical baselines at the local and regional scale. The
single-element geochemical maps representing the spatial distribution of
21 elements (As, Ba, Ca, Co, Cu, K, La, Mg, Mn, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Sc, Sr,
Th, Ti, V, Y, and Zn) reflect both natural and anthropogenic impact on the
environment at the contact of urban and natural landscapes.

Title: 1:5000 Landslide map of the upper Gállego Valley (central Spanish Pyrenees)
Abstract:
A 1:5000 scale geomorphological landslide inventory map of
the glaciated headwaters of the Gállego River in the Spanish Pyrenees is
presented. This map, covering an area of 57.6 km-super-2 and mainly
produced by direct mapping in the field, provides a more comprehensive and
accurate picture of the distribution of slope movements than previous
maps. Around 20% of the area is affected by large flow-dominated slope
movements developed on Paleozoic slates. Our map shows that some of these
post-glacial landslides have blocked the main drainage at several sites
creating landslide-dammed lakes. The damage caused by landslides in the
mapped area, with an estimated cost of greater 10 million euros, is mostly
related to the activity of pre-existing slope movements, some of which
have been reactivated or accelerated by adverse human alterations (e.g.,
excavation at the toe, overloading, higher water infiltration). This study
illustrates that the incorporation of detailed cartographic landslide
inventories in the planning and development process of alpine areas may
contribute to reduce significant landslide-related damage in a
cost-effective manner.

Title: Atlas of Pálava protected landscape area
Abstract:
The Pálava Protected Landscape Area (PLA) is one of the
protected areas in the Czech Republic that is characterized by both
natural and cultural heritage. The Atlas of Pálava PLA presented in this
article has been created as a general publication summarizing a majority
of available data and information of the area in an original and uniform
style. A wide range of information from geology,
geomorphology, climate and hydrology, nature and its conservation, tourism
and economy is presented over five thematic groups, 15 chapters and 30
maps (using mainly 1:35,000 and 1:50,000 scales), arranged alternating
text and map pages to describe a theme. Various methods including (i)
point, line and area symbols, (ii) choropleths, (iii) flowline maps, (iv)
diagram maps and their combinations were used for the visualization of the
thematic data. The uniform style of the maps was ensured by including
shaded relief for the visualization of terrain, water bodies and urbanized
area as a topographic base. The process of its creation
included obtaining and harmonizing various types of (spatial) data (raster
and vector datasets, digitizing of paper maps, correlation of various
typology systems, linking of table and spatial data), planning the atlas
and map concepts, using software and applying a theoretical basis of
cartography, geography and geoinformatics in order to produce a complete
guide of the area. The Atlas of Pálava PLA presents well-founded knowledge
of the region in an easily available form, as it is available on the
internet as a digital version in PDF.

Title: Maps of fire occurrence - spatially explicit reconstruction of recent fire history using satellite remote sensing
Abstract:
Maps depicting the spatially explicit fire history of an
area, including variables such as fire frequency and fire return interval,
are important tools promoting the understanding of processes associated
with wildfires (fire ignition and spread), the assessment of the impacts
of wildland fires on landscape dynamics, and decisions on appropriate
management practices. Remote sensing is a cost- and time-effective
alternative to automatically assess a vast amount of spatial information
and produce various thematic maps. The aim of this study was to
reconstruct the recent fire history of Attica region (Greece), in a
spatially explicit mode by means of remote sensing techniques using a
series of Landsat images acquired from 1984 to 2011. The results show that
the fire scar perimeters were captured with high accuracy. Regression
modelling shows that the differences between the area burned estimated
from satellite data and that recorded by the forest service can be
explained (86.3% of the variance) by the number of satellite images used
(standardized coefficient 0.752) followed by the date of the first image
(standardized coefficient 0.705). The use of satellite data as the basic
source of information alongside automated classification methods should be
promoted for the creation of fire history maps. The latter is further
supported when considering the long history of data capture from Landsat
satellites, which provide a huge, global historical archive of repeat
images of the Earth's surface.

Title: Landform influences on the resistance of grasslands to shrub encroachment, Northern Chihuahuan Desert, USA
Abstract:
In arid and semiarid regions, vegetative boundaries are often
strikingly similar to landform boundaries. However, it is not well
documented whether landforms exert an influence on the resistance of
desert grassland to shrub encroachment. Dominant grassland communities
have been displaced by woody shrubs over the last 150 years in the Jornada
Basin, southern New Mexico. Digital vegetation maps from 1858, 1915-1916,
1928-1929, 1938, and 1998, in conjunction with a detailed landform map,
were analyzed in a Geographical Information System. The generated time
series maps and spatial data compiled from these datasets were used to
quantify the extent and rate that grasslands were replaced by shrubs on
eight contiguous landforms. From this assessment, we generated a
resistance index that revealed desert grasslands were least resistant
(most susceptible) to shrub expansion on sandy landforms and bajadas and
most resistant to shrub invasion on ephemerally flooded playas. This study
demonstrates that landforms both provide the broad-scale background for
detailed mechanistic studies and affect the sensitivity of grasslands to
shrub encroachment.

Title: Multi-temporal mapping of land subsidence at basin scale exploiting Persistent Scatterer Interferometry: case study of Gioia Tauro plain (Italy)
Abstract:
The temporal and spatial evolution of the pumping-induced
ground subsidence in the Gioia Tauro plain (Southern Italy) is
investigated exploiting multi-temporal analysis of PSInSAR (Permanent
Scatterer Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data from ERS 1/2
(1992-2001) and ENVISAT (2002-2006) satellites. The PSInSAR derived ground
deformation velocity maps and related displacement time series reveal that
subsidence rates as high as 10-15 mm/yr are observed in 1992-2006, with
the highest velocities (up to 23 mm/yr) occurring between 1992 and 2000 in
the central portion of the Plain. Ascending and descending data are
combined to extract the vertical and east-west components of ground
motions, and reveal the presence of predominant components in the vertical
direction due to the compaction of Quaternary sediment in the basin.
Aquifer compaction is a consequence of groundwater abstraction. An
acceleration index is computed to synthesize the temporal changes between
the observed displacements in the two intervals, 1992-2001 and 2002-2006.
Deceleration of motions is observed in most of the plain with velocity
reductions of about 65% from 1992-2001 to 2002-2006; only a few narrow
areas in the southern sector reveal significant increases of motion
velocities in the 2002-2006 period, with subsidence velocities exceeding
by about 30% those observed in 1992-2001.

Title: Defining frontier areas in the United States
Abstract:
Demand is growing for a statistically based, nationally
consistent definition of frontier territory, one that is adjustable within
a reasonable range and applicable in different research and policy
contexts. The need arises from Congressional mandates affecting rural
health programs and from limitations of previous classification schemes.
As used here, the term frontier denotes territory characterized by some
combination of relatively low-population density and high geographic
remoteness. Two features distinguish the methodology described here from
earlier classifications. First, the approach strives for the most accurate
measures of distance possible for the smallest units of geography
containing population data. Travel time by car to nearby urban areas is
calculated for coterminous US territory at the 1 × 1 kilometer grid
level. Once frontier territory is delimited at the grid level, frontier
populations may be summed to ZIP code areas, as demonstrated on the Main
Map, or to census tracts, counties, or other useful geographic entities.
Second, travel-time thresholds around urban areas were allowed to vary by
urban-area population size. This is desirable because the effect of urban
population size on adjacent rural population density is discontinuous. At
any given distance from an urban area, population density increases as the
size of the nearby urban area increases.

Title: Demographic sustainability and rural development policy
Abstract:
This paper develops the notion, and demonstrates the use, of
'demographic sustainability' in updating the national policy for rural
development in northern Israel. The current national master plan defines a
maximum growth size allowed for each settlement in both the urban and the
rural sectors. The growth size policy is solely based on geo-political
considerations. Although, aggregatively, the northern rural periphery
still has a large population absorption capacity, the overall policy does
not fit to the local potential and the individual needs and wills of many
settlements. The wide literature on rural development points out that the
heterogeneous character of the rural areas dictates a differential and
flexible policy allowing its implementation according to the individual
various physical, demographic, institutional, cultural, and geo-political
conditions. Israel's northern rural periphery is not excluded in that
regard and therefore, its settling authorities were looking to update the
rural development policy. A GIS-based spatial search and mapping procedure
was developed to identify and map the settlements in rank order of
intervening needs in population policy. The procedure is focusing around
three pivots: accelerators, limitations, and opportunities. Accelerators
are the main reason for policy update and include the individual levels of
demographic sustainability and relative free absorption capacity of each
settlement. Demographic sustainability is defined by the type and the size
of the local 'dependency ratio' in order to ensure a multi-age structure
and generational continuity of rural settlements in the national
periphery. Limitations include environmental sensitivity to development
and large absorption capacities. Opportunities include small absorption
capacities and favorite conditions for settlement clustering. A
three-stage sieving procedure, according to the three pivots, enabled to
produce a final map showing, in a descending-order, the need for policy
intervention of each settlement. Practically, the map exhibits the role of
demographic sustainability in directing the development policy in a, most
frequently, losing-population rural region.

Title: Moving though markets
Abstract:
Housing Market Analysis is a form of demographic research
that seeks to unpick relationships between the supply of properties and
the demand of households. Such analysis can be used for planning for
future residential development. While econometric-orientated analysis
dominates much of this research, a sub-discipline also exists that
recognises that there are inherent geographies within these relationships,
and that these geographies can therefore be mapped. This paper details the
processes behind such a venture, beginning with the creation of a
geographical framework detailing housing supply for Sydney, Australia. A
demand dynamic is added to this framework using analysis of intra-regional
migration. With the two elements combined, key relationships are
identified, which form the basis of a brief discussion on the findings as
they relate to activity within Sydney's housing markets.

Title: Shifting patterns of suburban dominance: the case of Chicago from 2000 to 2010
Abstract:
The main map Shifting Patterns of Suburban Dominance:
The Case of Chicago from 2000 to 2010 depicts the dramatic
outward shift in population from Chicago's old industrial suburbs to the
region's new economy suburbs. In a prior study, a rank mobility index
(RMI) was applied to Chicago's suburbs and mapped using a graduated symbol
map to show dramatic changes in the suburban hierarchy from 1990 to 2000.
This paper updates the earlier study with results from the 2010 census so
as to explore changes in Chicago's suburban hierarchy during the 2000-2010
period. We use a Getis-Ord Gi approach to geo-visualize the regional
difference and change for these rank shifts. The resulting map reveals a
contemporary urban development pattern consistent with those depicted in
early twentieth-century models of Chicago's growth.

Title: Geospatial and Statistical Modeling of Artisanal Mining Populations in Kenieba, Mali
Abstract:
Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) has been both a formal
and an informal part of many developing economies for decades. It is
estimated that 13 to 20 million people are involved in artisanal mining
globally. While it has been a prevalent part of poverty alleviation
strategies worldwide, the people involved in ASM are a largely
understudied population. This study uses a combination of remotely sensed
data and fieldwork questionnaires, compiled and analyzed in a GIS, to
model the spatial demographics of the ASM population in Kenieba, Mali.
This paper and map discuss and illustrate the regional population of
Kenieba, the number of miners per mine and the spatial-temporal movement
patterns and proximity to mine sites. The Kenieba study area
is located in western Mali along the Senegalese and Guinean borders. At
most sites both gold and diamonds are being mined, as the mining of gold
is a more profitable activity in this region than diamond mining. The map
features three, 3-D figures representing land cover topography and
population with the results of a path-distance analysis that display the
time it would take an artisanal miner on foot to traverse the terrain of
the study area. Due to the 3-D, oblique orientation of the map the scale
varies throughout the figures.

Title: Tracking neighborhood development and behavioral trends with building permits in Austin, Texas
Abstract:
Local area datasets are becoming more frequently used by
planners and policy-makers in analyzing land use and development trends.
Records kept by cities and towns are popular for this purpose because they
often provide continuous and detailed data. This investigation
utilized municipal records to explore how local area datasets and spatial
analysis tools, specifically building permits and GIS, may be used to
study land development. In order to assess the effectiveness of this
analytical method, programs and changes related to development were
evaluated to demonstrate potential uses of this municipal data.
The City of Austin, Texas, was the context for this study, and the permit
records used spanned two decades from 1990 to 2009. The permit dataset was
first used to review overall construction activity within the City. The
locations of all permits issued in the study period were mapped. The next
part of this research consisted of two case studies used to demonstrate
how a spatial assessment of growth and development change issues could be
done using building permit records in varying scenarios. The Balcones
Canyonlands Preserves (BCP) conservation project was assessed as an
example of proactive and explicit land use decisions. Conversely, shifting
neighborhood demographics and reinvestment provided a scenario for
studying the changes that have resulted from residential mobility
decisions.

Title: Vegetation dynamics and human settlement across the conterminous United States
Abstract:
Demography and ecology have long been intertwined in terms of
understanding the relationships between population and the environment.
Recent advances in data and technology, coupled with our increased
understanding of social and ecological process, have greatly expanded the
ability to link populations and ecosystems in order to understand their
interrelationships. However, there remains a paucity of understanding of
how climatic variability relates to the spatial patterning of people and
how they may influence one another. Here we couple MODIS satellite
estimates of interannual photosynthetic variability from 2000-2011 with
housing density for the year 2000 to provide an estimate of the
interaction between productivity dynamics and exurban influence at a 2 km
resolution for the conterminous United States. The resultant map shows the
convergence of population and climate influences on vegetation responses
with broad patterns of interaction across the United States and notable
extremes found throughout the Central Plains and localized regions of the
Southwest US. These intersections of land use and vegetation dynamics have
significant implications for ecological systems and ecosystem responses to
climate dynamics.

Title: Building future scenarios using cognitive mapping
Abstract:
A participatory approach for developing future scenarios
through cognitive maps as a visual representation of mental models is
presented. Applying long-term future visioning techniques in a workshop
setting has traditionally been a significant challenge for construction
industry practitioners with a predominantly short-term, project-based
approach to day-to-day operational responsibilities. Six future scenario
cognitive maps are presented to illustrate the process. The maps were
digitised from A1-sized papers using Decision
Explorer™ software. Several key characteristics of the
resulting cognitive maps and lessons learnt for the organisation of
industry-based workshops are discussed. The main benefits are derived from
the interaction between participants during the mapping process whereby
future issues and their interconnectivities are discussed. Limitations of
the findings and further work are presented.

Title: Bibliographic webmap: the Physical Landscape of Britain and Northern Ireland
Abstract:
In this article, we present the development of a web mapping
application as part of the 'Physical Landscape of Britain and Northern
Ireland' project. There are a large number of sources for information and
data on the geomorphology of the British landscape including academic
journals, books, unpublished student dissertations and third-party
reports, however there remains no single central repository to query the
extent of such knowledge. This project, sponsored by the British Society
for Geomorphology, has a long-term aim of collating a bibliography on the
full extent of published and unpublished research on the geomorphology of
Britain and Northern Ireland, ultimately highlighting 'gaps' in our
knowledge and identifying topics and areas for future investigation. The
first phase of the project involved the development of a web application
that allows end-users to search for bibliographic references using an
interactive map. Here we outline the implementation of a spatial database,
a database front-end and a web mapping application built using open source
software and open data. Data for pilot areas have been entered; a further
phase of the project will populate the database for other areas.

Title: A map for volcaniclastic debris flow hazards in Apennine areas surrounding the Vesuvius volcano (Italy)
Abstract:
Volcaniclastic debris flows are dangerous natural phenomena
that originate in volcanic areas not only during or shortly after an
eruption but also during a period of volcanic quiescence, when heavy
and/or persistent rains remobilize unconsolidated pyroclastic deposits. In
Italy, one of the areas most affected by these phenomena is that of the
Apennine Mountains which border the southern Campania Plain surrounding
the Vesuvius volcano. Historical accounts record in these areas that more
than 500 debris flow events occurred during the last five centuries. These
events caused very dangerous consequences such as loss of life and serious
damage to property. An example is the devastating event of Sarno of 5 May
1998 which caused the death of more than 150 people and considerable
damage to villages located at the foot of the Apennine Hills. In order to
contribute to the assessment and mitigation of the debris flow risk, we
propose a zonation map that identifies the areas more prone to generation
and invasion by volcaniclastic flows. This map is based on field
investigations and morphometric analyses derived from a digital elevation
model with spatial resolution of 10 meters.

Title: Land units map of Italy
Abstract:
In this paper we present the land units map of Italy,
covering an area of ca. 300,000 km-super-2 between 47°05′
N-35°29′ N and 6°37′ E-18°31′ E. The map was
created by means of a Geographic Information System (GIS) and is based on
the overlay of various thematic maps according to a hierarchical
classification. The map scale is 1:250,000, with a minimum mapping unit of
50 ha. The GIS integration of different layers, covering the main
environmental components (climate, lithology and geomorphology), resulted
in a number of hierarchically arranged land units, homogeneous in terms of
biotic potential and ecological processes. These units highlight the role
of physical determinism in characterizing the Italian territory with a
high degree of environmental heterogeneity. The proposed land
classification scheme could be taken into consideration when planning
initiatives aimed at surveying, monitoring, managing and sustainably
developing the territory.

Title: High-resolution geomorphological map of a low mountain range near Aachen, Germany
Abstract:
A high-resolution geomorphological map covering the central
part of a low mountain range close to the city of Aachen in the border
region of western Germany and eastern Belgium is presented. It is
conceptually based on the 'Geomorphologische Karte 1:25,000' (GMK) which
was developed by German researchers in the 1970s and 1980s but differs
from the original concept in terms of data acquisition, processing and map
layout in order to overcome some problems of classical geomorphological
maps. These comprise time consuming field work, inflexible paper-based map
creation, and the resulting poor legibility due to extremely high
information density. All mapping was performed in a Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) environment on the basis of a 1 m LiDAR digital elevation
model to reduce the time and cost needed for map production. The scale of
the map is 1:5000 and thus increased by a factor of five in comparison to
the original GMK to make sure no crucial information is lost through
cartographic generalization. The layout was adjusted to fit the larger
scale, resulting in an improvement of the morphometric information value
and a strengthening of the GMK's construction kit concept. In comparison
to the original GMK concept, the methodology yields benefits for the
production of geomorphological maps by reducing the effort necessary to
collect and manage data, improving the spatial accuracy, and enhancing the
flexibility regarding data management and map layout.

Title: Geodiversity assessment of the Xingu drainage basin
Abstract:
Geodiversity is a recent concept that refers to the abiotic
variety of nature. It is defined as the range of geological (rocks,
minerals, fossils), geomorphological (landforms, processes) and soil
features, including their assemblages, relationships, properties,
interpretation and systems. In this work, a method of quantitative
assessment of geodiversity was applied to the Xingu drainage basin
(Amazônia - Brazil). The method is based on the quantification and
integration of abiotic features represented on thematic maps at scales
ranging from 1:250,000 to 1:2,500,000, overlaid by a 1:25,000 systematic
grid. In order to calculate the final geodiversity index, five partial
numerical indices representing the main components of geodiversity were
drawn compiled: geology, geomorphology, soil, palaeontology and mineral
occurrences. The resulting Geodiversity Index map is presented in the form
of five isoline classes. The objective of this method is to present such a
mapping technique as a tool for environmental planning, particularly for
the identification and definition of priority areas for conservation.

Title: Hydrogeomorphological mapping as a tool in groundwater exploration
Abstract:
Hydrogeomorphological maps have a useful importance in
exploration hydrogeology, engineering geosciences, geotechnical
engineering and planning. The role of geomorphology is decisive to
correctly evaluate groundwater resources. Hard-rock hydrogeological
systems commonly exhibit complex geological and morphological features.
This study highlights methodological guidelines for the preparation of
hydrogeomorphological maps to support groundwater conceptual modelling, as
well as for hydrogeological surveys and environmental sustainability
issues. Cartographic techniques can provide an accurate way of improving
the knowledge on groundwater and surface water circulation and the overall
functioning of aquifer systems. A comprehensive evaluation of these
subjects has been completed during the preparation of
hydrogeomorphological maps for the Alardo groundwater system and Touca
hydromineral system, both located on Gardunha mountain in Central
Portugal. Thematic maps were prepared mainly from satellite imagery
analysis, topographic, geological, geomorphological and hydrogeological
field surveys. This information was presented to outline the recharge
potential areas and infiltration rates. The paper also contributes to
hydrogeomorphological mapping design and the conceptual model of
groundwater in fractured hard-rock aquifer systems.

Title: Erosion hazard assessment along the Capitolo coast (Monopoli, southern Italy)
Abstract:
Erosion affects about 25% of the coast of the Apulia region,
with the severest consequences being along sandy coastlines. Beach retreat
is mainly due to the decrease of solid material transport, the destruction
of dune deposits and the building of docks that obstruct the longshore
current. A survey was conducted around Capitolo, the main sandy coastline
near Bari, to examine the hazards affecting beaches and to provide
guidelines for the management of human activities along the coasts. The
survey was carried out along a coastal stretch of about 3 km, extending in
a South Easterly direction from 17° 21′ 30″ E, 40°
54′ 20″ N to 17° 23′ E, 40° 53′ 40″
N. The map, at a scale of 1:3000, shows three levels of hazard, determined
as follows: (i) the state of preservation of the dunes and watercourses,
based on the geomorphological map of the Apulia region; (ii) data
collected from July 1989 to April 2008 by the Monopoli buoy of the
National Wave Measuring Network; (iii) the shoreline change rates computed
within a geographic information system (GIS). A matrix was established
taking into account of these features, weighting each parameter in order
to develop a hazard-level measurement for shoreline lengths of about 25
meters. The results show that all Capitolo beaches have a high level of
shore preservation hazard. The results of this study should be a factor in
any decisions made on the management of the present day village, both
existing commercial activities and the future development of the area.

Title: Characterization and evaluation of a marine protected area: 'Tavolara - Punta Coda Cavallo' (Sardinia, NW Mediterranean)
Abstract:
Habitat mapping plays a key role in the management and
conservation of natural systems. In protected areas, where sustainable
development is always subordinate to conservation efforts, maps are
largely used to represent habitats, development pressures, tourist
facilities or legal restrictions such as the zoning of a protected area.
Some authors have recently developed a methodology that allows the
production of a set of maps for the management of marine protected areas.
In this paper, we present the application of this methodology to the case
study of the marine protected area 'Tavolara Punta Coda Cavallo'.

Title: Relationships between geo-hydrological processes induced by heavy rainfall and land-use: the case of 25 October 2011 in the Vernazza catchment (Cinque Terre, NW Italy)
Abstract:
On 25 October 2011, heavy rainfall affected an area of ca.
1000 km-super-2 between eastern Liguria and northern Tuscany (northwest
Italy). The event caused floods, hundreds of shallow landslides, four
casualties and severe structural and economic damage in Monterosso and
Vernazza villages. The distribution of geo-hydrological processes
triggered by rainfall in relation to land-use was analyzed in the Vernazza
catchment. Both, an inventory map of geo-hydrological processes and a
land-use map were prepared through air photo-analysis and field surveys; a
derivative map combining these two outputs provides insight into the
relationships between geo-hydrological processes and land-use. The density
of shallow landslides (n/km-super-2) and the frequency of erosional
processes (%) are higher in terraced areas compared to other land-use
classes. The study highlights the high vulnerability of agricultural
terraces which, over the centuries, have been a fundamental tool for the
prevention and control of erosional processes and slope instability.

Title: Lake bed geomorphology and sedimentary processes in glacial lake Windermere, UK
Abstract:
A 1:10,000 map of the geomorphological features and
sedimentary processes shaping the landscape is presented for Windermere,
the largest lake in the English Lake District. High-resolution multibeam
bathymetry and backscatter data, lake bed photography and sediment samples
reveal a complex landform record, and have been used to identify nine
sub-basins separated by steps, ridges and isolated topographic highs
probably related to the retreat of the British and Irish Ice Sheet. Debris
flows and anthropogenic features are superimposed on the general
bathymetric framework formed since the Last Glacial Maximum. Five distinct
lake bed facies are identified through ground-truthing, and are used to
describe the sedimentology of the lake revealing a dominance of gyttja.
Coarser sediments are found in lake-marginal shallow waters, where the
morphology is shaped by dredging scars and circular dredging deposits.
Post-glacial slope failure and modern sedimentary processes such as debris
flows have further shaped the lake bed and removed the surface drape of
gyttja, exposing an underlying facies of Pre-Holocene finely laminated
mud.

Title: Geological map of the Middle Triassic Latemar platform (Western Dolomites, Northern Italy)
Abstract:
The Latemar is a Middle Triassic isolated carbonate buildup
with a diameter of approximately 3 km, that crops out in the western
Dolomites, northern Italy. The platform is an important case study and
potential analogue for carbonate hydrocarbon reservoirs. Detailed field
mapping of the platform has been carried out on a high-resolution
topographic base extracted from airborne LIDAR to produce a geological map
at 1:5000 scale. Remote sensing was used for the recognition of structural
features and then validated in the field. In addition, high-resolution
digital photographs were used to interpret the geology of inaccessible
rock walls. This work represents a up-to-date detailed geologic map of the
Middle Triassic Latemar platform that enhances its internal units
subdivision and highlights its complex shape, characterized by gulfs and
internal basins and strongly controlled by synsedimentary tectonics.

Title: Landform and landscape mapping, French Guiana (South America)
Abstract:
In this paper two geomorphologic maps (landform level and
landscape level) are presented covering the French Guianan rainforest
(84,000 km-super-2) using full-resolution Shuttle Radar Topography Mission
(SRTM) data. The entire country was segmented into 224,000 landform units
on the basis of an original object-oriented approach using a modified
counting box algorithm. A Principal Components Analysis (PCA) followed by
k-means clustering (Ward's method) identified 12 different landform types
corresponding to theoretical elementary landforms. The landscape map was
generated by analyzing the spatial distribution of the different landform
types. The different maps and models were compared with topographic field
data collected on 92 transects totaling 260 km in length. The
object-focused approach is a very efficient method that preserves
geomorphologic consistency and discriminates between landforms using
simple descriptors that are easily understood by non-geomorphologists.
Despite major noise in the data, the landform map proved to be reliable
and provided a strong spatial structure for the definition of landscape
units. We recommend using the landform map at scales 1: 100,000-1:
250,000. Landscape map, used on a 1:1,000,000-1:2,000,000 scale, enabled
us to draw bio-geographical limits in this region and provides exhaustive
relief information that usefully supplements the geological map.

Title: Geological map of the Mount Ciantiplagna rock avalanche (Chisone Valley, Italian Western Alps)
Abstract:
The 1:10,000 scale geological map of the Mount Ciantiplagna
rock avalanche, located in the upper Chisone Valley, encompasses an area
of 21.4 km-super-2 affected by the most extensive rock slope failure
identified in the Italian Western Alps. The landslide, originated at 2605
m a.s.l., involved massive calcschist with subordinate intercalations of
serpentinite and metabasite of the Cerogne-Ciantiplagna Unit (Piedmont
Zone, Pennidic Domain). The blocky accumulation covers an area of 3.88
km-super-2 with a corresponding volume of 157 × 10-super-6
m-super-3. The rock avalanche traveled a horizontal distance of 4.6 km
with a vertical drop of 1460 m and stopped at 1150 m a.s.l. against a
transverse moraine situated at the mouth of the Rio del Laux Valley.
The landslide deposits created a cross-valley barrier with the
development of a large fluviolacustrine basin extending 4 km upstream and
with a maximum depth of 120 m. Detailed field mapping and numerous
drillholes highlighted that the rock avalanche deposits rest above an
earlier rock slide that involved a huge ophiolitic mass of serpentinite
and metabasite. In the valley bottom the original surface of the rock
avalanche accumulation is not preserved. Several fluvial terraces
suspended up to 120 m above the Chisone river have been interpreted as the
product of erosion by the stream network at the expense of the blocky
deposit. Destabilization of the Mount Ciantiplagna southern
slope due to the emplacement of the rockslide can be reasonably invoked as
the most likely triggering factor. Extreme rainfall and the seismic
activity (I o = VII-VIII) that
affects the central sector of the Italian Western Alps can be regarded as
further potential triggers. The precise age of the rock avalanche is not
known: nevertheless the overlapping of the distal portion of the
accumulation over late-glacial moraines, the presence of some late Copper
Age archaeological sites close and within the landslide perimeter and the
deep dissection of the blocky deposit are in agreement with an early
post-glacial age. The geological map presented here provides detailed
morphological and stratigraphical information allowing the
reinterpretation of the kinematics of the Mount Ciantiplagna landslide.

Title: Relief-Rock-Soil relationship in the transition of Atlantic Plateau to Peripheral Depression, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Abstract:
This paper presents an atlas of physical geography at a
detailed scale for an area located between two large morphostructural
units: the Atlantic Plateau, a crystalline shield of rough landforms, and
the Peripheral Depression, a transition unit from Plateau to the Parana
Sedimentary Basin, whose smooth landforms are generally sculpted over
sedimentary terrain. The transition between these two land systems creates
contrasting landforms as a function of bedrock structure and soil type.
Smooth landforms underlain by sedimentary rocks and reddish clayey soils
alternate with small hills with abrupt slopes sustained by igneous or
metamorphic rocks. These soils, developed from weathering of siltstones
can rapidly change to brownish and pale colors indicating leaching and
weathering of stratified sandstones or massive structured quartzites. A
geomorphopedological classification at 1:10,000 scale was performed
initially by delimiting units according to landforms. Secondly, other
themes were added by combining them with different types of rocks and
soils. The geomorphological map was produced by using thematic maps
including a topographic base map, hypsometric map, slope map and
morphological map. Also the geological and pedological maps were created
based on field data collection, morphological analysis of soil profiles
and physical, chemical and mineralogical laboratory analysis. Finally, the
geomorphopedological units were defined using all the mapped data. Each of
these units has peculiar features concerning developed or undeveloped soil
formation, with mineralogy and structure very often linked to underlying
rock. The landform shape is either controlled by geologic structure or
originated from weathering processes that make the relief flatter.

Title: Geomorphological of a portion of the Andes and Pre-Andes of San Juan, Argentina
Abstract:
A detailed geomorphological map is presented for a portion of
a poorly investigated mountainous region of the Dry Frontal Andes and
Western Pre-Andes of San Juan province around 30°S latitude. This map
shows the presence and extension of landforms and geomorphic processes in
an area of 2175.9 km-super-2 and is the result of detailed aerial
photograph and remotely sensed data interpretation, including digital
elevation models, supported by field survey. The landforms have been
distinguished according to morphogenetic criteria, into: (i) glacial
landforms; (ii) periglacial landforms; (iii) mass movement landforms; (iv)
fluvial landforms: (v) polygenic landforms and (vi) neotectonic landforms.
The objective of this map is to provide information on the landforms
present in the selected area, allowing it to be used as a baseline for the
study of landscape evolution or support guidelines for territorial
management and planning.

Title: Geomorphology of the Tsetseg Nuur basin, Mongolian Altai - lake development, fluvial sedimentation and aeolian transport in a semi-arid environment
Abstract:
The landform ensemble of the Tsetseg Nuur Basin in Western
Mongolia provides an archive for periods of different geomorphologic
processes induced by changing climate conditions during the Holocene and
late Pleistocene times. The geomorphologic map of Tsetseg Nuur basin in
the Mongolian Altai illustrates the spatial relation and interaction
between different types of sedimentation in semi-arid regions of Central
Asia. The map is an instrument to visualize the geomorphologic settings,
providing valuable information to distinguish periods of geomorphologic
processes and to analyze the landscape evolution. This enables the
creation of a relative morphostratigraphy of periods with different
hydrological environments, mainly marked by the stages of lake level
evolution in an interior drainage basin. The relative chronology
calculated from the map receives an absolute chronostratigraphy through
radiometric dating from selected sections investigated during field-work.

Title: Land suitability map for mountain viticulture: a case study in Aosta Valley (NW Italy)
Abstract:
Mountain vineyards are a valuable resource for high-quality
wine production and landscape conservation. A suitability map (1: 50,000)
for mountain vineyard cultivation was created for a study area located in
Aosta Valley (NW Italy). We considered the following environmental
variables that are known to influence wine production: slope, aspect,
altitude and soil, producing a suitability map that allows the
identification of areas that can be considered practical for sustainable
mountain viticulture.

Title: Principal component analysis of the geochemistry of soil developed on till in Northern Ireland
Abstract:
This paper presents results from the first regional
statistical analysis of soils developed on till in Northern Ireland, using
the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland's Tellus geochemical database.
Till geochemistry is largely determined by its parent bedrock and soils
developed on tills are known to inherit this geochemical signature. Soil
geochemistry from areas of till can therefore be used to establish
sediment provenance which in turn provides information on palaeo ice flow
directions and ice sheet history. In this study, we use Principal
Component Analysis to establish geochemical groupings that can be related
back to likely bedrock parent material for the tills in the region. The
maps, presented here at 1:445,000 scale, show the results of the first
regional investigation of soil geochemistry of part of the northern sector
of the Irish Ice Sheet. The results indicate that the upper surface of the
majority of tills in the study area have a close relationship to local
bedrock with rapid geochemical changes observed at lithological
boundaries. This suggests that tills in this sector of the Irish Ice Sheet
are primarily local in origin, indicating rapid entrainment of bedrock and
low rates of evacuation of debris to the ice margin.

Title: Morphotectonic map of the Aventino-Lower Sangro valley (Abruzzo, Italy), scale 1:50,000
Abstract:
This work presents the Morphotectonic map of the
Aventino-Lower Sangro valley, located in the southern Abruzzi area, and
extending from the Apennines chain to the eastern piedmont, from the
Maiella Mountain to the Adriatic coast. It is the result of an extensive
drainage basin scale geomorphological analysis carried out in the Abruzzi
area and incorporates four main sections: orography and hydrography (upper
right on the map); morphotectonic section (centre and left on the map);
quaternary fluvial deposits and terraces section (right on the map) and
the long morphotectonic profile (lower right on the map). The
map presented in this work provides a basis for the recognition of
morphotectonic features at basin scale, the detection of tectonic control
on landscape, and the reconstruction of paleo-landscapes. It contributes
to defining the main phases of the post-orogenic landscape evolution of
the transition zone between the Apennines chain and the eastern piedmont
area, resulting from the combination of alternating morphotectonics and
surface processes, due to rock uplift processes, local tectonics and slope
and fluvial processes.

Title: A new petro-structural map of the Monte Mucrone metagranitoids (Sesia-Lanzo Zone, Western Alps)
Abstract:
The Mt. Mucrone metagranitoid is an extensively investigated
intrusive Permian body, located in the Eclogitic Micaschists Complex of
the Sesia-Lanzo Zone, within the high-pressure metamorphic belt of the
Western Alps formed during the Alpine plate convergence. The structure of
the northwestern sector of Mt. Mucrone, including both the metagranitoids
and country rocks, has been mapped, although an integrated structural and
petrological analysis is still lacking in its southwestern sector, a topic
investigated in this contribution. During the field structural analysis,
six groups of ductile structures were recognized to have evolved as
follows: the D1 and D2 fabrics took place under eclogite-facies, D3 under
blueschist-facies and D4 to D6 under greenschist-facies conditions,
respectively. Foliation trajectories revealing the chronology of the
superposed structures are represented in the analytical (drift and solid)
and interpretative (solid) maps, both at a 1:10,000 scale, and a panel of
structural cross-sections allows the 3D representation of the
poly-deformed lithostratigraphy. The related metamorphism indicates the
changes within the subduction-collision tectonic frame.

Title: Climatic regions of the Czech Republic
Abstract:
The map created represents the result of an application of
Quitt's Climate Classification to a dataset of climatic
characteristics of the Czech Republic from 1961 to 2000. The
Quitt's climatic classification is based on dividing a
territory into climate regions (units) according to complex climatological
characteristics. These units represent specified classes defined by the
combination of values of 14 climatological characteristics. All units are
included in three basic climatic regions: warm, moderately warm and cold.
The classification is popular as it allows the definition on a single map
of site boundaries where there are changes in climatic characteristics.
There are 17 climatic units (from a 23 possible units) recognized for the
given time period in the Czech Republic. The study includes an assessment
of compliance of the resulting map with the actual values of selected
meteorological characteristics. The map provides a comprehensive overview
of climatic characteristics for the Czech Republic.

Title: Geomorphology of the Lake Tana basin, Ethiopia
Abstract:
The geomorphological map of the Lake Tana basin (15,077
km-super-2, Nile basin, Ethiopia) presented in this paper was prepared
from fieldwork data, maps and satellite data that were processed with a
geographic information system (GIS). It contains four major components:
(i) hydrography, (ii) morphology and morphometry, (iii) materials and (iv)
processes at a scale of 1:500,000. The geomorphological setting of the
basin consists of lavas that erupted from fissures or (shield) volcanoes
during the Tertiary and Quaternary eras, were uplifted and eroded
primarily by water. Lake Tana emerged through a combination of a lava
barrier blocking the Blue Nile to the south and by epirogenetic
subsidence. When the lake reached its maximum extent, extensive lacustrine
plain (e.g. Fogera and Dembia plains) were created, river valleys and
basins were filled with sediment and higher lying topography was eroded.
Today, the lake plays a lesser role in landscape formation because of a
decreased extent (3041 km-super-2) compared to the ancient maximum (6514
km-super-2). Dominant processes today are fluvial and subaerial. Recent
(1886-2010) changes in the lake coastline are small with the exception of
the delta formed by Gilgel Abay, which has increased disproportionally
over the last 15 years. This indicates a large input of sediment which is
mainly due to rivers flowing through Quaternary lavas. The recent sediment
input increase is most probably related to human induced land-use changes.

Title: Total natural radioactivity, Tuscany, Italy
Abstract:
In this paper, we report an extensive survey of the natural
radioactive content of rocks of the Tuscany Region (Italy): this permitted
the first total natural radioactivity map of the region. The sampling was
planned using the geological map of Tuscany at scale 1:250,000, which
contains 45 distinct geological groups recognized by tectonic and
stratigraphic features. Each geological group was characterized for the
total activity by measuring the activity concentrations of -super-40K,
-super-238U and -super-232Th in 865 samples using a high-purity germanium
(HPGe) gamma-ray spectrometer. The average areal distribution of samples
is approximately one sample per 25 km-super-2. The radiometric map was
constructed through the reclassification of each geological formation
based on the median value of the total activity. Seven classes of total
activity are identified by choosing percentiles almost evenly spread
across the range of values. This map represents the starting point for
future studies on natural background radiation, geochemical processes and
epidemiological investigations.

Title: Denudation processes and landforms map of the Camastra River catchment (Basilicata - South Italy)
Abstract:
This paper performs denudation processes and landforms
characterizing the Camastra River catchment (Basilicata - South Italy), on
a 1:40,000 scale map. The map, which includes gravitational processes and
landforms and water erosion processes and landforms, was obtained by
combining field surveys with the analysis of topographic maps and of
multi-temporal aerial photos, ranging from 1954 to 2010. These latter
provided information on both spatial and temporal evolution of geomorphic
processes. The integration and the elaboration of the data obtained in a
GIS environment provided the inventory map of denudation processes and
landforms. Landslides are widespread in the study area, and play an
important role in the present-day landscape evolution. A total of 953
landslides were recognized, occupying a surface of 79 km-super-2, about
22% of the whole study area. The recognized landslides were mapped on the
basis of movement type, as follows: slides, flows, falls and complex
landslides. With regard to water erosion processes, the most evident and
spectacular landforms in the study area are represented by badlands (the
so called calanchi), due to concentration of running
water on steep clayey slopes, producing narrow and knife-edge ridges.
Finally, sheet, rill and gully erosion are particularly active on areas
devoid of vegetation cover, as well as on cultivated fields. This kind of
map is an useful tool for land planning policy. Also, these types of
studies are basic and complementary to applied methods for investigation
and mapping of land susceptibility to denudation processes, as landslides
and water erosion.

Title: A map of large Canadian eskers from Landsat satellite imagery
Abstract:
Meltwater drainage systems beneath ice sheets are a poorly
understood, yet fundamentally important environment for understanding
glacier dynamics, which are strongly influenced by the nature and quantity
of meltwater entering the subglacial system. Contemporary sub-ice sheet
meltwater drainage systems are notoriously difficult to study, but we can
utilise exposed beds of palaeo-ice sheets to further our understanding of
subglacial drainage. In particular, eskers record deposition in glacial
drainage channels and are widespread on the exposed beds of former ice
sheets. This paper presents a 1:5,000,000 scale map of >20,000 large
eskers (typically > 2 km long) deposited by the Laurentide Ice Sheet
(LIS), mapped from Landsat imagery of Canada, in order to establish a
dataset suitable for analysis of esker morphometry and drainage patterns
at the ice sheet scale. Comparisons between eskers mapped from Landsat
imagery and aerial photographs indicate that, in most areas, approximately
75% of eskers are detected using Landsat. The data presented in this map
build on and extend previous work in providing a consistent map of an
unprecedented sample of eskers for quantitative analysis. It offers an
alternative perspective on the problems surrounding ice-sheet meltwater
drainage and can be used for: (i) detailed investigations of esker
morphometry and distribution from a large sample size; (ii), testing of
numerical models of meltwater drainage routing that predict esker
characteristics (e.g. channel spacing, sinuosity), (iii) assessment of the
factors that control esker location and formation; and (iv), a refined
understanding of ice margin configurations during retreat of the LIS.

Title: Set in concrete: the historic and spatial distribution of concrete sidewalks in Vancouver, BC
Abstract:
Modern concrete sidewalks have existed for approximately a
hundred and fifty years in urban centers. The city of Vancouver, British
Columbia has date-stamped its concrete sidewalks when they are freshly
laid for just over one hundred years. Almost 800 of these concrete
sidewalk date-stamps from 1906 to 1992 were collected as points. Many
studies regarding urban development and growth utilize historic atlases
and maps with their changing road networks over time. This study uses GIS
to map Vancouver's concrete sidewalk stamps dated from 1906 to 1992 and
re-constructs its early original concrete sidewalks from 1901 to 1911 to
establish the historic and spatial distribution of concrete sidewalks in
the city. The use of concrete sidewalk date construction data offer
another view of the development of Vancouver's urban built environment as
compared to relying on the growth of street networks over time as shown in
historic atlases and maps.

Title: Exploring geo-genealogy using internet surname search histories
Abstract:
We present an interactive flow map to visualize aspects of
the ways in which surnames have dispersed and migrated around the globe.
This work utilizes Internet search queries from the Worldnames Project and
uses the density of search locations to determine the node and leaf
structures of a flow map. The mapping technique utilized in this work is a
variant of geometric minimal Steiner arborescences called the
spiral tree. Our implementation is developed in
JavaScript to allow for interactive online exploration. Nodes and flow
lines can be interactively modified to allow for esthetic changes of color
and layout. The results can provide interesting insight into the geography
of amateur genealogy.

Title: Geologic map of the Valencia del Ventoso Variscan igneous complex (SW Iberian Massif, Spain): an example of multi-stage intrusion building by contrasted magma compositions
Abstract:
A map of the areal distribution of lithotypes within the
Valencia del Ventoso igneous complex (ca. 130 km-super-2) is presented.
The complex is located in the southern Ossa-Morena Zone of the Iberian
Massif (Variscan Foldbelt, Spain). Field and laboratory data reveal an
intricate geological context resulting from multiple, compositionally
contrasted, melt pulses emplaced over a short time period. According to
field relationships and lithotype characteristics, four main plutonic
intrusions and two dyke swarms are discerned within the complex. Firstly,
three small (>10 km-super-2) stocks (Medina de las Torres, Valencia del
Ventoso, and Pozuelo) were emplaced aligned N40E. These are composed of
massive and banded gabbro, gabbrodiorite, diorite, quartzdiorite,
quartzmonzodiorite and tonalite. The Valencia del Ventoso main pluton (ca.
100 km-super-2) has been intruded, in order of emplacement, a Basic Unit
of gabbro and quartzdiorite in the central area of the complex, and an
Acid Unit of quartzmonzodiorite, granodiorite and monzogranite in
outermost areas and through the Basic Unit. Finally, two E-W trending dyke
swarms were emplaced. The first one, rhyolitic in composition, relates to
the most evolved residual liquids of the plutonic association. The second
one accounts for a different magmatism, Late Permian to Triassic in age,
and includes rhyolite, trachyte, latite, andesite and basalt lithotypes.
The geologic map of the Valencia del Ventoso plutonic complex at 1:25,000
scale is presented on a high-resolution digital terrain model base as a
reference for field-oriented geologic studies in igneous petrology.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Tian Shan
Abstract:
The glacial geomorphology of the Tian Shan has been mapped,
with the study area covering almost 638,000 km-super-2. The map, designed
to be printed at A0 size due to the elongated shape of the mountain range,
is presented at a scale of 1:1,100,000. Five glacial landform categories
are presented; glacial valleys, marginal moraines, glacial lineations,
hummocky terrain and meltwater channels. These landform categories were
mapped using the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation
model (90 m resolution), Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery (30 m
resolution), and images contained in Google Earth. The mapped landforms
were created by glaciers that were restricted to mountain areas and their
immediate surroundings.

Title: Fluvial terraces of the northwest Iberian lower Miño River
Abstract:
A new fluvial terrace map with a tectonic framework for the
northwest Iberian lower Miño River is presented. It is the first
integrated map to cover the entire lower, 67-km reach of the Miño River,
and to cover both the Spanish and Portuguese side of the river. The map is
presented at a scale of 1:200,000, although its features were mapped at a
scale of 1:5000. Various map layers can be viewed, such as a digital
elevation model (DEM), fluvial sediment thickness layers, a palaeoflow
direction layer, a lineament and fault layer, and two terrace and tectonic
basin layers, showing up to 10 fluvial terraces and a floodplain level.
Interpretation of the map shows that next to regional tectonic uplift and
glacioeustacy, local basin subsidence and small-scale block movement are
very important for the fluvial network, localised fluvial terrace
formation, and preservation.

Title: The structural glaciology of southwest Antarctic Peninsula Ice Shelves (ca. 2010)
Abstract:
The Antarctic Peninsula has recently seen a rapid breakup of
its peripheral ice shelves, attributed to atmospheric and oceanic warming
in the region. Previous work has illustrated that the final breakup
mechanisms are often controlled by the structural glaciology of the ice
shelf, and thus understanding the structure of the remaining 'stable' ice
shelves is of fundamental importance to assess their future response to
continued environmental changes. The accompanying map presents the
structural glaciology of Bach, George VI and Stange Ice Shelves in the
southwest Antarctic Peninsula, from ca. 2010, with a description of each
feature presented here.

Title: Geomorphology of the El Alamein Battlefield (Southern Front, Egypt)
Abstract:
This map outlines the main processes and related landforms of
the stretch of the Western Desert from Deir El Munassib to El Taqa
Plateau, south of El Alamein (Egypt). Freely available digital elevation
data derived from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, image processing
of the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection
Radiometer and field surveys have led to the geomorphological map
at 1:40,000 scale. Landforms constitute the result of the complex
interplay of gravitational, aeolian, coastal and fluvial processes
strongly influenced by geological structure. Particular attention was
devoted to the recognition, identification and mapping of military remains
dating to 1942, which occur all over the study area.

Title: Environmental Values: the Dunajovický and the Kos˘átecký Stream Catchments, Czech Republic
Abstract:
Based on research of the river landscape, spatial variability
of environmental values and their changes over time, it is possible to
identify parameters which are in some way involved in the formation of
runoff processes. In this paper the issue of the natural values
disturbances in an environment of watercourse and its floodplain is solved
on the example of two model sites. These are the lowland catchment areas
of small watercourses in the Czech Republic. On basis of the map
visualization of collected data, the authors deal with interpretation of
the landscape spatial pattern within the context of its ecological
stability. To analyze the areas, series of maps are used in the
appropriate scale showing the selected indicators related to the
environmental values. These indicators are a combination of the field
research results and information gathered from the available data sources.
The space is devoted to the analysis of relationships between selected
environmental indicators of spatial character and their impact on the
state of the river network. Analyzed are the consequences of human
activities in the riparian zone of watercourses, with regard to the
phenomenon of the river continuum degradation and changes in other
hydrological variables that may affect the overall security of the
floodplain area.

Title: Sequential Indicator Simulations maps of porosity, depth and thickness of Miocene clastic sediments in the Kloštar field, Northern Croatia
Abstract:
Data from selected Lower Pontian sandstone reservoir in the
Kloštar Field, situated in the Sava Depression (Northern Croatia),
were used for mapping with Sequential Indicator Simulations rather than
using a classical approach. Such approaches offer better insight in
distribution of geological variables or zonal uncertainties in the cases
with larger datasets (15 points or more). Obtained maps of porosity and
reservoir thickness are presented here along with probability maps of
certain selected cut of values of petrophysical parameters. Maps showed
distinct sedimentological features that can clearly be observed on the
both sets of maps.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of Marguerite Bay Palaeo-Ice stream, western Antarctic Peninsula
Abstract:
This paper presents a glacial geomorphological map of over
17,000 landforms on the bed of a major palaeo-ice stream in Marguerite
Bay, western Antarctic Peninsula. The map was compiled using various
geophysical datasets from multiple marine research cruises. Eight glacial
landform types are identified: mega-scale glacial lineations,
crag-and-tails, whalebacks, gouged, grooved and streamlined bedrock,
grounding-zone wedges, subglacial meltwater channels, gullies and
channels, and iceberg scours. The map represents one of the most complete
marine ice-stream signatures available for scrutiny, and these data hold
much potential for reconstructing former ice sheet dynamics, testing
numerical ice sheet models, and understanding the formation of subglacial
bedforms beneath ice streams. In particular, they record a complex bedform
signature of palaeo-ice stream flow and retreat since the last glacial
maximum, characterised by considerable spatial variability and strongly
influenced by the underlying geology. The map is presented at a scale of
1: 750,000, designed to be printed at A2 size, and encompasses an area of
128,420 km-super-2.

Title: Geological map of Pliocene-Pleistocene deposits of the Ambra and Ombrone valleys (Northern Siena Basin, Tuscany, Italy)
Abstract:
The study area is located across the Chianti Ridge (Tuscany,
Italy), between the Upper Valdarno Basin and the Siena Basin. This area
covers about 25 km-super-2, forming a narrow belt oriented N-S and drained
by the Ambra and Ombrone creeks, which flow northward and southward,
respectively. Field mapping was carried out at 1:10,000 scale through an
allostratigraphic-sedimentological approach. The study area deposits
represent the infill of a SW-draining paleovalley, cut both in pre-Neogene
bedrock and marine Pliocene deposits of the Siena Basin. The valley-fill
succession consists of two main allounits (V1 and V2), which are
conformably stacked in the northern sector of the study area, and
unconformably offset in the southern sector. V1 comprises gravelly to
sandy fluvial deposits, whereas V2 deposits show noticeable downvalley
variability. V2 consists of poorly drained floodplain deposits in the
northern sector of the paleovalley, whereas gravel and sand-bed river
deposits fill its southern part. Alluvial-fan and palustrine deposits are
also associated with V2 fluvial facies. A normal fault trending NW-SE is
the main structural feature of the area. This fault cuts the V2 unit
lowering the upstream reach and is thought to have promoted the marked
facies changes observed in the fluvial deposits of unit V2.

Title: Coastal landforms and environments in the central sector of Gallocanta saline lake (Iberian Range, Spain)
Abstract:
Gallocanta Lake (NE Spain), with a high ecological value, is
the largest and best preserved saline lake in Western Europe. The aim of
this study is to map the landforms developed in the margins of the central
sector of Gallocanta Lake, at adequate scale for the study of soils and
habitats, which is needed for the delineation, management and protection
of the wetland. Photointerpretation was combined with topographical,
geological, and satellite data in a geographical information system. This
study, applied in two selected areas of the central body of the lake,
allowed the identification of contrasting landforms and processes in the
lake margins. The southern margin, which receives most of the fluvial
materials in the zone exhibits coastal progradation by means of
barrier-island generation and sedimentation in the resulting coastal
lagoon, a process that can be inferred from the map presented in this work
and was confirmed by comparison of aerial photographs taken in different
decades. With virtually no sediment supply on the margin, coastal erosion
and shoreline retreat prevail. In summary, coastal landforms are a result
of a complex combination of fluvial and lacustrine processes operating
during high and low water-level periods.

Title: Bathy-morphological setting of Terceira Island (Azores) after the FAIVI cruise
Abstract:
High-resolution morpho-bathymetric data at 1:200,000 scale
obtained during the FAIVI cruise (2011) and the resulting geomorphologic
map of the Terceira island offshore area (central Azores, Portugal) are
presented for the first time. The uneven morphology around Terceira is
primarily related to volcanic features, such as linear and cone-shaped
eruptive centres and lava flows. Such features are mostly concentrated on
volcanic ridges and are aligned along preferential axes, suggesting a
strong interaction between tectonics and volcanic processes. The
occurrence of active tectonics is also demonstrated by systems of faults
cutting the seafloor to the north, east and south of the island. Mapped
erosive-depositional features include an insular shelf located at > 150 m
water depth (wd), small landslide headwalls, erosive scarps, channelized
features and crescent-shaped bedforms. The presented map may represent the
base for a first-order geo-hazard assessment.

Title: Geological map of the central Pyrenees between the Tena and Aragon valleys (Huesca)
Abstract:
The Pyrenees are an Alpine chain, located between France and
Spain. This map covers 592 km-super-2 (27 × 22 km) at
1:40,000 scale of the Central Pyrenees. The map comprises the South
Pyrenean Zone, an Upper Cretaceous to Paleogene succession of complex
thrust-fold systems, southward directed and the southern border of the
Axial Zone, mainly deformed in the Variscan Orogeny. In the Axial Zone,
the map reflects kilometric interference fold patterns as a result of
Alpine and Variscan fold superimposition, with characteristic crescent and
mushroom shapes, recognized for the first time in the cartography of this
region.

Title: Geomorphological map of the central sector of the Matese Mountains (Southern Italy): an example of complex landscape evolution in a Mediterranean mountain environment
Abstract:
A 1:28,000 scale geomorphological map of the central sector
of the Matese Mountains (Southern Italy) is presented in this paper.
Geomorphological investigation by means of remote sensing, cartographic
analysis and field surveys allowed the identification of the main
geomorphic processes and to map the related landforms which are both of
monogenetic and polygenetic origin. Most of them are erosional landforms
generated by the action of periglacial, glacial and karst processes which
often occur under the control of the geological structure. Glacial relics
and polygenetic landforms of glaciokarst and fluviokarst origin provide
good evidence of the strong influence of variable climatic conditions on
landform genesis during the Quaternary. They also highlight the influence
of extensive tectonics during the Quaternary which caused progressive
uplift, fragmentation and disarticulation of the developing mountainous
landscape and its consequent polycyclic evolution. The map illustrates the
geomorphologic peculiarities of the Mediterranean mountain landscape that
typically characterizes the Apennine chain, and contributes to the
understanding of its tectonic evolution and the influence of climate and
climatic changes on landscape evolution. It further provides a basic map
for land planning policy including the exploitation of the geological
heritage and the development of sustainable mountain tourism and
geo-tourism.

Title: Mapping the whole errors of Tomas Lopez's geographic atlas of Spain (1804)
Abstract:
The Geographic Atlas of Spain (AGE) designed by Tomas Lopez
in1804 consisted of an anthology of maps of the Spanish regions that was
drawn in the second half of the eighteenth century. It was the most
ambitious and successfully completed cartographic work undertaken to date.
Nowadays there is no study that examines this work as a whole. This paper
analyzes the complete cartographic errors of this work in Spain. A total
amount of 90 sheets of maps, from 36 kingdoms or provinces of Spain in
1804 have been analyzed. A total of 21,800 settlements or towns have been
digitized, which have been linked to the current ones about 75%. Linear
error of each settlement has been calculated by comparing the historical
mapping coordinates to the current ones. The average linear error obtained
for all analyzed settlements was 6.5 km. Linear errors of all
settlements have been represented for Spain by GIS. Finally, an inverse
relationship between the higher density of settlements and the largest
linear error has been found; as well as the communication networks of that
time act as corridors that connect areas of lower errors.

Unit, the Lago Superiore Shear Zone, the Viso Mozzo Unit, the Forciolline
Unit and the Vallanta Unit) and different Quaternary deposits (i.e.
alluvial, gravitative, glacial and periglacial deposits) have been
distinguished. The Monviso Meta-ophiolite Complex is an important remnant
of the Mesozoic Tethyan lithosphere stacked in the Western Alps, and
consists of various sequences of serpentinized peridotites, metagabbros,
metabasalts and metasediments, that are deformed by syn- to
late-metamorphic folds and displaced by syn- to post-metamorphic faults.
The geological map presented here provides new detailed lithological,
structural and morphological data regarding (i) the tectonostratigraphy of
the central sector of the Monviso Meta-ophiolite Complex and (ii) the
Quaternary glacial and post-glacial evolution of the Monviso massif.

Title: Morphometry of the Campi Flegrei caldera (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
A high-resolution Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of Campi
Flegrei caldera, obtained from an airborne LiDAR mission, has been
analyzed in order to produce a 1:20,000-scale morphometric map of this
volcanic area. The map consists of different thematic layers, which
include: profile curvature, terrain ruggedness index, elevation range, as
well as an up-to-date structural map and building distribution in the
densely populated area. Results evidence that most of the relief is
related to the occurrence of tuff-cones, tuff-ring, and the outer flanks
of the caldera. Higher values of elevation characterize the upper portions
of cones, while higher terrain ruggedness index values concentrate on the
inner flanks of cones and in areas affected by gravity and erosional
processes. The map also evidences the topographic expression of crater
rims and of the major morphological scarps, which reflect ancient and
uplifted shorelines and present-day cliffs.

Title: Maps for the reclamation of industrial and mining wasteland in Daye County, Hubei province, China
Abstract:
Reclamation of industrial and mining
wasteland can help to address the current urgent challenge of land
resource needs in China. In order to ensure well-developed reclamation
planning, a large number of field surveys of industrial and mining
wasteland were undertaken in Daye County, which is located in the
south-east of Hubei province. Through a series of indexes, the reclamation
potential of the industrial and mining wasteland was determined. Based on
the surveys and evaluation, a specific reclamation plan was then produced,
and it is shown on four major maps, which are the industrial and mining
wasteland status map, the reclamation planning map, the reclamation
potential distribution map, and the major reclamation project distribution
map. The scale of the first two maps is 1:250,000, and the scale of the
latter two maps is 1:300,000. The main purpose of this project is to
provide a detailed planning scheme for local government, which will assist
with important decision making in land-use policy, and to provide a unique
perspective and experience for scholars all over the world.

Title: Thematic maps for land consolidation planning in Hubei Province, China
Abstract:
Land consolidation is the most effective
land management approach to optimize land-use structure and improve the
natural environment. This study aims to shed light on land consolidation
planning processes in China, and to highlight the characteristics and
contents of thematic maps in provincial-level planning. The study area,
Hubei Province, has an area of 1,85,900 km-super-2 and is located
in Central China. The land consolidation potential, that is, the net
increase area of arable land was calculated according to the land
consolidation types in each county. The spatial characteristics of land
consolidation potential, key areas, and key engineering and projects were
presented on a scale of 1: 5,00,000 utilizing counties as evaluation
units. The thematic maps can provide important information for
policymakers and planning workers, and guide any subsequent land
consolidation planning at the county level in China.

Title: Mapping and monitoring unemployment hot spots towards identification of socially excluded localities: Case study of Ostrava
Abstract:
This paper is focused on mapping and
monitoring of unemployment hot spots using registers of local authorities
in the Ostrava City (Czech Republic) to identify socially excluded
localities at the micro-scale. The register of unemployed persons and the
population register provide data for quantification of specific indicators
of a local labour situation. A share of the registered unemployed in
reference to residents in productive age can substitute the rate of
unemployment due to the high correlation of both indicators. The mapping
of unemployment hot spots has been based on data from 2007, 2009, 2010 and
2011 using kernel density estimation. Various settings of bandwidths have
been tested to identify socially excluded localities in the city in hopes
of identifying the most accurate way to visualise the pattern. These
localities have been identified in two expert studies and the most
significant sign is considered to be increased unemployment. Appropriate
settings of kernel density estimations of the unemployment indicator
enable to identify the majority of experts' localised spots. The hot spots
have been delimited by an isoline with a suitable boundary value obtained
from an optimisation technique based on a coefficient of areal
correspondence and an indicator of spatial extension. This method of
isolines is recommended for mapping and monitoring of the development of
localities in time.

Title: The connectivity of South Asian cities in infrastructure networks
Abstract:
This map summarizes information on the
connectivity of 67 important South Asian cities concerning infrastructure
networks. The map combines four information layers to reveal a city's
overall stature in the region's infrastructure networks, i.e. rail, road,
air, and information technology networks. Three dimensions of connectivity
are shown: edge thickness reflecting tie strength between pairs of cities;
node size reflecting a city's betweenness centrality; and node color
reflecting the dominant geographical orientation of a city's connections.
A threshold is used for the edges to ensure the map does not appear
clogged. The map shows that major connections tend to be within-country
linkages between large cities. There are five communities in South Asia's
urban infrastructure networks, which largely follow national borders.
Delhi, Mumbai, Lahore, Karachi, Chennai, Colombo and Dhaka are shown to be
important nodes for the infrastructural integration of South Asia, as
these cities mediate flows between relatively unconnected communities and
cities.

Title: Mythical creatures of Europe
Abstract:
The map of Mythical Creatures of Europe
represents information on 213 mythical creatures of 68 types that are
described in folk-lore of European countries. It is compiled from data
collected by MSc students in Cartography at Vilnius University in
Lithuania in 2011, totalling approximately 1200 man hours. Among numerous
sources of information on mythical creatures, this map and database are
unique as they contain geographic references and information on the living
environment of so many creatures. Only the most reliable information has
been included in the informative and visually attractive wall map. The
project included planning, analysis of feasibility, data collection,
verification, generalisation and filtering, classification of information
on mythical creatures, building the GIS database, analysis of data, and
cartographic visualisation. The map described in this paper was finalised
in 2012 and designed with special focus on attractiveness for the user.
The reference scale of the printed map is 1:7,200,000 and contains an
inset of Greece at scale 1:4,000,000. The size of the map image is 62.5
× 83 cm. It is complemented by textual descriptions of each
of 213 creatures. The relational database and exhaustive project
documentation are available for further updates and development.

Title: The Australian counterinsurgency campaign in the Vietnam war: the ambush battle
Abstract:
From 1966 to 1971 Australia deployed the
1st Australian Task Force (1ATF) to the Vietnam War. Australia's
involvement in the war took the form of a protracted counterinsurgency
campaign. Counterinsurgency campaigns often consist of thousands of
seemingly unrelated minor combat incidents. Military historians using
traditional techniques can find it difficult to make sense from this
plethora of contacts that, individually, may seem inconsequential. Using
the statistical mapping techniques we demonstrate here can tease out a
comprehensible story from these thousands of otherwise apparently
unrelated combat events. We tested the extent to which the Vietnamese were
able to exploit the advantages of the ambush against 1ATF. Military
commanders can use our methods to better understand the ebb and flow of
their campaigns and to structure their operations to achieve the desired
form of contact.

Title: Map of Long-Term Changes in Land Sensitivity to Degradation of Italy
Abstract:
The study introduces a map of the
long-term changes in the level of land sensitivity to degradation for
Italy, presented at a scale of 1:1,300,000. According to the Environmental
Sensitive Area (ESA) approach, the national territory was divided into
different classes of land sensitivity by assigning a score based on the
observed changes in four themes (climate, soil, vegetation and land
management) related to land degradation processes. The observed increase
in the level of land sensitivity was rapid and spatially heterogeneous and
reflects the decrease in land quality mainly due to human-derived
landscape transformations. Maps illustrating the change in land
sensitivity over a sufficiently long time period should be developed at
country scale as a contribution to monitoring and dissemination of
scientific results in the framework of the 'Zero Net' Land Degradation
strategy introduced by the United Nations Convention to Combat
Desertification.

Title: The geomorphologic and pedo-morphologic maps of Skhirat (Feriana, Tunisia) at the 1:50,000 scale
Abstract:
Land planning and land restoration in
drylands affected by desertification require a good understanding of the
active geomorphic processes, their intensities and spatial patterns.
Traditional Soil and Land Suitability maps do not incorporate this
information and may be partially inadequate in that regard, because they
necessarily give a 'static' representation of the land. The geomorphology
of the study area (Feriana district, Central Western Tunisia) is complex,
including relict landforms, such as Quaternary pediments, fossil sand
dunes, and the evidence of ancient endorheic systems. On the other hand
the area is characterized by active and intense geomorphic processes:
water and wind erosion, aeolian deposition, and localized present-day
endorheism accompanied by water logging and salt accumulation processes.
The soils reflect the imprints of multiple past and present pedogenic and
geomorphic processes.In this study a Geomorphologic and a Pedo-morphologic
Map were produced to provide the local decision makers with cartographic
tools to best plan land use options and land restoration. The Maps were
drawn at the 1:50,000 scale based on detailed photo-interpretation and on
dedicated field surveys.

Title: Bathymetry of a new-born submarine volcano: El Hierro. Canary Islands
Abstract:
We present here a bathymetric map of a new
underwater volcano which began its growth on 10 October 2011 to the south
of El Hierro Island (Canary Is., Spain). The map scale is 1:25,000 and the
map covers 210.9 sq. km. In July 2011, the seismic monitoring
network of Spanish National Geographic Institute (IGN), began to detect an
increase in low-intensity earthquakes around El Hierro Island along with
ground deformation. This seismic crisis culminated on 10th October with a
submarine eruption 2 km south of the small port of La Restinga, and
lasted until March 2012 when IGN determined the end of the eruption
process. After eight surveys monitoring the morphological and bathymetric
evolution during the eruptive phase that ended in March 2012, Spanish
Oceanographic Institute and the Hydrographic Institute of the Navy,
carried out a survey from the 6th to the 8th of December 2012 to map the
bathymetric and morphologic situation after the 2011-2012 eruptive period.
The map presented here is based on full seafloor coverage by multibeam
swath data echosounder carried out when the submarine volcano was in a
quiet phase, using a grid mesh size of 12 × 12 meters.

Title: Landslide inventory map of north-eastern Calabria (South Italy)
Abstract:
Landslides are one of the most widespread
natural hazards in many areas of Calabria region (Southern Italy), due to
the combination of its peculiar geological, morphological, and climatic
characteristics and very often to unsustainable land management. This
study reports the reconnaissance and the characterization of landslides of
north-eastern Calabria (south Italy). The landslide inventory map was
obtained by combining field surveys with the analysis of topographic maps
and multi-temporal air photos, taken in the period ranging from 1954 to
2006. This analysis has provided the spatial and temporal evolution of
mass movements. The integration and elaboration of the data obtained in a
GIS environment provided the inventory map of landslides on a scale
1:50,000. Landslides are widespread in the study area and play an
important role in the present-day landscape evolution. A total of 1003
landslides were recognized, occupying a surface of
230.4 km-super-2, about 30.5% of the whole study area. The
landslides were mapped on the basis of the movement type, as follows:
slides, flows, falls and complex landslides. Slide and complex type
mass-movements are very common, and represent more than 87% of the
landslides mapped. The pelitic lithologies show the highest density of
landslides, mainly complex type. Multi-temporal air photo interpretation
and field surveys provided data for distinguishing the state of activity
of the landslides; therefore, 29% of the landslides mapped has been
assessed active while the remaining 71% has been considered inactive. This
kind of map is an useful tool for land planning policy. As all the data
are digitized and stored in GIS database, this will provide the basic
input needed to generate the landslide susceptibility assessments besides
evaluate the landslide hazard and risk.

Title: Geomorphology of the Arrábida Chain (Portugal)
Abstract:
Geomorphological maps are crucially
important in geomorphology studies, allowing the representation of
topographic and geological data in an interpretative, dynamic and
appealing way. In this paper, a medium-scale (1:70,000) geomorphological
map is presented with the objective of facilitating the analysis and
interpretation of the Plio-Quaternary landscapes of the Arrábida Chain,
central-west Portugal. The map results from the combination of field and
laboratory techniques, including aerial-photo interpretation, digital
terrain data analysis and the morphometric study of landforms.

Title: Phytoclimatic map of Calabria (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
This study updates Pavari's phytoclimatic
map in a region of southern Italy, Calabria (between 37° 50′ and
40° 10′ N and 15° 30′ and 17° 20′ E). A set
of homogeneous monthly precipitation and temperature series registered in
Calabria and relative to the period 1916-2010 were used. First,
temperature data from 28 thermometric stations, over a 30-year period,
were homogenized and processed. A multiple regression analysis was carried
out between temperature data (annual average temperature, average of
minimum temperature and average temperature of the coldest month of the
year) as dependent variables and some geographical variables (altitude of
the station, continentality and solar radiation) as independent variables.
Then, temperature maps of the region were calculated and, finally,
temperature and rainfall maps were intersected to define Pavari's
phytoclimatic map. The results obtained in this study allow the
identification and the delineation of three phytoclimatic belts.

Title: The marine and alluvial terraces of Tavoliere di Puglia plain(southern Italy)
Abstract:
This manuscript outlines the different
sedimentary deposits that characterise the Tavoliere di Puglia plain (the
second largest Italian plain). The plain is largely covered by Quaternary
terrace deposits that unconformably lie on older deposits, most commonly
the argille subappennine unit.The outcropping units have been divided into
categories of descending rank: the first subdivision is made on the basis
of geological domain; within each domain a subdivision of lower rank is
based on age; within each age a further subdivision is based on the nature
of the sediments.The main map presents an updated synthesis of the geology
and geomorphology of the Tavoliere di Puglia plain and provides a firm
foundation for further, more detailed studies.

Title: Facies associations of the northern Dandiero Basin (Danakil depression, Eritrea, including the Pleistocene Buya homo site)
Abstract:
The Dandiero Basin is located on the
northern part of the 300 km-long Danakil depression. The geologic
succession filling the Dandiero Basin is up to 1000 m thick and
consists of three synthems, inascending order: the Early-to-Middle
Pleistocene Maebele Synthem of fluvio-lacustrine origin; the Late
Pleistocene Curbelu Synthem of alluvial deposits and the Late Pleistocene
to Holocene Samoti Synthem alluvio-eolian sand. This study and map (1:5000
scale) focuses on the Maebele Synthem exposed in a 3.8 km-super-2
area near Mt. Alat. Regionally, the Maebele Synthem consists of six
lithostratigraphic units, in ascending order: (1) the Bukra Sand and
Gravel, (2) the Alat Formation, (3) the Wara Sand and Gravel, (4) the
Goreya Formation, and (5) Aro Sand, (6) Addai Fanglomerate. The Bukra Sand
and Gravel is about 150-200 m thick and made up mainly of fluvial
sand. The Alat Formation is 70-100 m thick and consists of
alternating fluvial, lacustrine and deltaic deposits. Fluvial deposits
consist of sand-filled channels that occur as amalgamated or isolated
bodies within floodplain mud. Lacustrine sediments consist of mud, whereas
deltaic deposits are represented by sandy shallow-water and Gilbert-type
deltas. The Wara Sand and Gravel (250 m thick) is made up of
fluvial sand. The Goreya Formation (50 m thick) consists of
lacustrine, deltaic and fluvial deposits. The fluvial deposits consist of
sand-filled channels the lacustrine sediments consist of mud with
subordinate limestone, and the deltaic deposits are represented by sandy
shallow-water deltas. The Aro Sand consists of fluvial sand up to
120 m thick. The Addai Fanglomerate (250-300 m thick)
consists of coarse-grained alluvial fan.

Title: Geomorphology of the Rees Valley, Otago, New Zealand
Abstract:
We present a 1:33,333 geomorphological map
of the Rees Valley, Otago, New Zealand. The Rees River drains an area of
∼405 km-super-2 and feeds into the head of Lake Wakatipu. This
area has been affected by a range of geomorphological processes including
tectonic activity, glacial erosion and deposition, mass movement, fluvial
action, and base (lake) level change. Mapping was achieved by a
combination of interpretation from SPOT 5 HRG satellite imagery and
ground-truthing. The map presents the current distribution of landforms
and sediments associated with the wide variety of contemporary and past
geomorphological processes. It represents the most detailed and finest
resolution geomorphological map of this region to date, and hence a number
of features have been mapped and described for the first time. The map
will assist on-going studies in the Rees catchment that seek to understand
fluvial sediment transport and associated flood hazards, the dynamics of
former glaciers, base level change associated with a drop in the level of
Lake Wakatipu, and mass movement hazards.

Title: Bathymetry of the Adriatic Sea: The legacy of the last eustatic cycle and the impact of modern sediment dispersal
Abstract:
The Istituto di Scienze Marine (ISMAR-CNR)
has conducted several research projects on the Italian side of the
Adriatic Sea over more than 15 years, collecting bathymetric, geophysical
and sediment core data to perform multidisciplinary studies of modern
sediment dynamics and of past environmental changes during the last
eustatic cycle. A crucial step in this direction was the construction of a
detailed bathymetry, a time-consuming task due to the extensive shallow
water portion of the basin. Given the setting of the Adriatic Sea and the
long-lasting research effort, the bathymetric map is necessarily based on
heterogeneous data with uneven spatial distribution of Single-Beam
echo-soundings. The main objective of this work is to illustrate the
methodology applied to compile the bathymetric map of the west side of the
Adriatic Sea at basin scale (1:750,000) and to describe the main
morphological units that characterise the seafloor and reflect its main
geological features. This bathymetry can also be used in oceanographic
modelling both at regional and local scale, focussing on the interaction
between bottom currents and seafloor morphology.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Great Glen Region of Scotland
Abstract:
This paper presents a detailed glacial
Main Map of the Great Glen region of Scotland, UK, covering an area of
over 6800 km-super-2 extending from 56°34′7″ to
57°41′1″ N and from 3°44′2″ to
5°33′24″ W. This represents the first extensive mapping of
the glacial geomorphology of the Great Glen and builds upon previous
studies that conducted localised field mapping or ice-sheet wide mapping
using remote sensing. Particular emphasis is placed on deriving
medium-scale glacial retreat patterns from these data, and examining
differences in landsystem assemblages across the region. Features were
typically mapped at a scale of 1:8000 to 1:10,000 and will be used to
investigate the pattern and dynamics of the British-Irish Ice Sheet during
deglaciation. Mapping was conducted using the NEXTMap digital terrain
model. In total, 17,637 glacial landforms were mapped, with 58% identified
as moraines, 23% as meltwater channels, 10% as bedrock controlled glacial
lineations, 3% as eskers, 2% as cirques or arêtes, 2% as kame
topography or kame terraces, and 1% as drumlins. Additionally, 10
palaeo-lake shorelines were identified. Complex landform assemblages in
the form of streamlined subglacial bedforms, moraines and glaciofluvial
features exist across the region. Extensive subglacial meltwater networks
are found over the Monadhliath Mountain Range. Transverse and longitudinal
moraine ridges generally arc across valley floors or are located on valley
slopes respectively. Hummocky moraines are found almost exclusively across
Rannoch Moor. Finally, eskers, meltwater channels and kame landforms form
spatial relationships along the axis of Strathspey. These glacial
landsystems reveal the dynamics and patterns of retreat of the
British-Irish Ice Sheet during the last deglaciation.

Title: Forest vulnerability zones in the Czech Republic
Abstract:
The accompanying Main Map shows forest
vulnerability zones calculated for the Czech Republic, covering a total
area of almost 79,000 km-super-2. Calculating forest vulnerability
zones over such a large area requires a unique approach due to its
complexity. The map includes additional information on forest areas and
topography. The model of forest vulnerability zones (FVZ) constitutes an
alternative to existing zones of forest health hazard caused by emissions.
It was created based on subjective classification of existing incidence of
damage in forests. Moreover, the model of forest vulnerability zones
estimates the risk of forest health degradation caused by abiotic factors.

Title: Mapping environmental risks: Quantitative and spatial modeling approaches
Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a growing application of advanced methods
and techniques such as geographical information systems (GIS), remote
sensing and spatial analysis methods in research aimed at understanding,
analyzing and visualizing environmental risks. Areas of interest are
particularly focused around climate change: the increase in the frequency
of extreme weather conditions; the impact of natural disasters; the change
to human development make the latter even more relevant. Progress in
computer hardware and software allows the application of mathematically
complex and computationally intensive methods over relatively small
timescales. This special issue of the Journal of Maps is devoted to recent
innovations and techniques in the exploitation of mapping and
geoinformatics in the field of Environmental Risk Assessment.

Title: Gridded cartograms as a method for visualising earthquake risk at the global scale
Abstract:
The assessment of natural events that can turn into disasters where people
live is usually accompanied by maps visualising the specific topic in its
spatial setting and putting the physical environment into the main focus.
Such conventional mapping approaches, however, can often
fail to give an intuitive understanding of the underlying quantitative
dimension of the associated risk to people and a fuller appreciation of
the interrelation between humans and their natural environment. The method
presented here demonstrates an alternative way of mapping environmental
risk. A gridded cartogram approach is introduced and illustrated with
examples drawn from data documenting globally significant earthquakes that
have occurred since 2150 BC. Gridded cartograms are a new
map projection. They are created by starting with an equally distributed
grid onto which a density-equalising cartogram technique is applied. Each
individual grid cell is resized according to specific quantitative
information. The underlying grid ensures the preservation of an accurate
geographic reference to the real world. It allows gridded
cartograms to be used as basemaps, new projections, onto which other
information can be mapped. Earthquake intensity on a gridded population
cartogram highlights those zones where most people live in these risk
environments and minimises information about where earthquakes still
occur, but where they matter less for human populations. Gridded
cartograms also allow any other quantitative data to be used in the actual
transformation. This is demonstrated with gridded cartograms from
earthquake intensity data, resulting in very unusual depictions and new
perspectives of the surface of the planet.

Title: Maximum macroseismic intensity map of Greece for the time period 1953-2011
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to present the spatial distribution of
macroseismic intensities assigned in modified Mercalli (MM) scale, across
the Greek territory. For this purpose, a digital database with more than
30,000 local seismic intensity recordings from 156 major earthquake events
that affected Greece and adjacent areas during the period 1953-2011 was
developed. These events have focal depths up to about 150 km and
surface-wave magnitudes (Ms) greater than 4.4. Various GIS-based
techniques for data analysis and map creation were applied. A number of
seismic intensity maps have been produced taking into account different
attributes like intensities for shallow or deep events, maximum
intensities by administrative units, maximum intensity for significant
earthquakes, etc. The main map produced is the national map of maximum
seismic intensities for shallow earthquakes (scale 1:1.500.000). The final
layout also contains the maximum seismic intensities for deep earthquakes,
the tectonic lines of Greece, the earthquakes of the database as well as
the seismic intensities for two significant earthquakes in the last six
decades.

Title: A proposal for avalanche susceptibility mapping in the Pyrenees using GIS: the Formigal-Peyreget area (Sheet 145-I; scale 1:25.000)
Abstract:
The aim of this work is to show a proposal for avalanche susceptibility
mapping (scale 1:25.000) using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The
map to which the article accompanies (Formigal; Sheet 145-I) follows
strictly the dimensions of the Spanish Topographic Cartography series at
scale 1:25.000. The Formigal-Peyreget area, located in the Central Spanish
and French Pyrenees, is one of the Pyrenean regions where avalanche risk
is more noticeable. The methodology involves the use of GIS to model
avalanche starting zones, including the multi-criteria cateogorisation of
four variables: (i) minimum altitude of the regional isotherm of 0°C
for the winter months; (ii) slope; (iii) ground cover; (iv) morphology of
the slope (curvature). The information presented in the map classifies
avalanche start zones susceptibility into four categories: low, moderate,
high and very high. This methodology is intended to be used as a reference
for the production of future maps of avalanche susceptibility in other
regions where the method is deemed appropriate.

Title: Landslide susceptibility, Peloponnese Peninsula in South Greece
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to investigate landslide susceptibility mapping
in regional scale, considering the spatial stationarity of the
relationship between landslide susceptibility and its influencing factors.
Landslides are among the most severe natural hazards and their management
has a key role to human safety. During the last decades, a significant
number of GIS-based methods for landslide susceptibility assessment and
mapping have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, contemporary
methods for landslide susceptibility analysis have been applied. The
latter include global and local regression analysis aiming to study the
relationship between landslide occurrence and its determinants. This paper
also examines if this relationship is spatial non-stationary via the
application of the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). The proposed
methodology has been applied in the Peloponnese peninsula, in South
Greece. To examine the factors responsible for the occurrence of a
landslide event; topographic (slope angle, elevation), geological and
other environmental variables (land cover, rainfalls) were considered. The
results suggest that GWR provides a potential improvement in landslide
susceptibility assessment compared to traditional global regression
analysis methods.

Title: Ground movement risk in 'Las Batuecas-Sierra de Francia' and 'Quilamas' nature parks (central system, Salamanca, Spain)
Abstract:
Ground movements constitute active processes that modify the disposition
and morphology of the earth's surface. This work establishes a cartography
procedure to obtain a ground movement risk map at a 1:50,000 scale. Such a
map would be useful for establishing mitigation measures for land use
planning and management in natural spaces, using Geographic Information
Systems (GIS). A number of steps are taken to produce the map in GIS.
First, a susceptibility map is created by considering passive or
conditioning factors, which depend on the nature, structure and morphology
of the ground. Second, a hazard map is created by considering active or
trigger factors, which cause instabilities within hillsides and determine
the magnitude and speed of their movements. Finally, the ground movements
risk map is obtained by combining the susceptibility and hazard maps with
risk and vulnerability map (degree of potential damage) and risk exposure
map (estimate of damage, human casualty and economic loss). The resulting
ground movements risk map shows very high risk at the foot of escarpments
and abrupt reliefs where urban areas, fractures and/or roads are present.
High risk prevails in the geomorphologic domains of fluvial incisions,
where the slopes are high, as well as in areas with escarped hillsides.
Medium-risk areas are distributed around the marked reliefs, forming zones
of filling and slightly flat surfaces. Low-risk areas appear in
topographically flat areas, since they are domains of terraces, pediments
or degraded surfaces. Very scattered and less-extended areas present very
low risk.

Title: Classification of circulation types over Eastern mediterranean using a self-organizing map approach
Abstract:
In this study an Artificial Neural Network called Self-Organizing Map
(SOM) is used in order to classify the synoptic circulation over Europe
and especially Eastern Mediterranean. The classification of circulation
types is an effective way of summarizing and describing the atmospheric
circulation and it is useful in climatology because it provides a better
understanding of the climatic variability over an area. Here, the SOM
methodology is applied on winter daily geopotential height anomalies of
the 500 hPa level, for the period 1971-2000. Twelve unique circulation
patterns are identified. Eight of these types are characterized as
cyclonic, representing 61% of the total days examined and four types are
characterized as anticyclonic, representing 39% of the study period. The
results of this classification are comparable to other objective
classifications applied on the same study region and present a similar
image. Therefore, the SOM methodology is found to be applicable and useful
in the classification of circulation types.

Title: Territorial evolution and volcanic hazard, Ischia Island (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
The Ischia Island, located in the north-western zone of Napoli bay
(Southern Italy), is exposed to many natural events that represent sources
of risk for both the tourists visiting the island all over the year and
the local inhabitants. In this paper, we take advantage of spatial and
temporal analysis available in a Geographic Information System framework
in order to compare the spatial distribution of volcanic hazard zones to
the temporal evolution of population and urban development over the last
80 years. The volcanic hazard map refers to pyroclastic flows from low to
intermediate size explosive events, that could affect the Ischia Island in
the next future. The main result of the study centered on the finding that
the territorial system development was not sensitive to volcanic hazard as
testified by the expansion of urbanized areas within the medium-high
hazard zones. The seriousness of the present territorial system status
indicates an urgent need for planning aimed at a proper cohabitation of
the inhabitants with the hazardous events and at the achievement of
acceptable safeness levels.The map presented here gives a synoptic view of
the territorial system evolution related to volcanic hazard and it can
therefore be considered a valuable tool to support a sustainable
territorial planning. The urban development data can be suitably used to
assess their relationship with other natural events which could affect the
island.

Title: Methods for mapping volcanic events overlaid across time
Abstract:
This article describes a number of issues encountered when developing maps
of past natural phenomena in the field of volcanology. In order to enable
experts to exploit geographical data related to this topic, maps showing
the temporal chronology of such events are required. Developing useful
maps are made more complex by the coexistence of numerous phenomena in the
geographic same space over time, which entails the management of spatial
overlays, and includes the difficulty of integrating temporal information
in static maps. In this article, we present our approach to the overlaying
and temporal ordering of natural phenomena presented as information in
maps, using the example of lava flow data. These data are derived from a
case study of volcanic hazard affecting La Réunion Island in the Indian
Ocean. We explore different methods for mapping evolution over time, for
instance 'map collections' or 'small multiple maps', the use of both color
or hue and saturation to represent the dates of events, and the use of
'semi-transparency' to preserve the representation of past events overlaid
one on the other. Legibility and effectiveness of the map were a prime
concern in this exploratory analysis.

Title: Flood impact in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Abstract:
The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) has an important role in terms of food
security and socio-economic development of the region. The VMD is a
densely populated area and is a social and economic hotspot for coastal
hazard risks and vulnerability. The amount of people exposed to flooding,
storm surges and seasonal river floods in VMD is estimated to increase as
the sea level rises, land-use changes and urbanization in flood-prone
areas is growing. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on assessing and
mapping flood hazard, risk and vulnerability of the Mekong delta. There
are many flood hazard and risk studies carried out in the VMD, however
very little is done with respect to vulnerability. The region is facing a
rapid economic growth and vulnerability to floods becomes an important
issue to be addressed.The study presented here focuses on mapping of the
vulnerability of the VMD, based on the situation in the area and on the
available data. The study evaluates the VMD districts from vulnerability
point of view and presents maps, which will be helpful to the decision
makers who need to take measures on how to reduce and mitigate the flood
impact in the area. Collaboration between deltas' administrations,
multiple stakeholders and organizations, at national and international
level (delta alliances), has to be undertaken to support the most
vulnerable areas and to learn from each other. Mapping vulnerability
offers the opportunity to get a broad overview on affected areas and on
possible adaptation options that could be applied, directing resources at
more in-depth investigation of the most promising adaptation strategies.
Moreover, at a later stage, it can also serve to evaluate the
effectiveness of the adaptation measures.The present study presents a map
of flood vulnerability for the VMD for the years 2000 and 2050 (see Main
Map). The map is created by applying Coastal Cities Flood Vulnerability
Index (CCFVI) methodology; the flood map will overlay flood hazard in
order to create flood risk maps using tools such as ArcGIS.

Title: Participatory mapping of flood hazard risk in Munamicua, District of Búzi, Mozambique
Abstract:
Detailed maps, appropriate for decision making at the local level are
outdated or currently not available in Mozambique. The community map
presented in this paper is built on participatory mapping and
Participatory GIS practices (especially photo mapping) and links to
advanced spatial analysis in the context of disaster risk reduction and
flood hazard assessment. Based on a very high-resolution satellite
imagery, community members mapped different features such as the community
boundary, settlement areas and their names, agricultural areas, important
infrastructure and most importantly 'low' and 'high risk' zones for
floods. It has been for the first time that a community was mapped in
Mozambique in such a way integrating local knowledge. The identification
of hazard zones in a participatory manner was seen as one way to overcome
the bottleneck of limited available data for a proper GIS-based hazard
modeling. Next to the digitization of the community mapped features, an
image classification on land use, settlement areas (houses), and the
integration of GPS collected points (infrastructure, photos) was carried
out. In a final step the map was printed and handed-over to the community
members. In the applied methodology it has been demonstrated that the
assessment of risks through the integration of community knowledge and
paper-based satellite images is valid. Next to the result of deriving a
community-based hazard map, the process of mapping is understood as
essential to sensitize and learn about local flood hazard risk.

Title: Rapid mapping of urban development from historic Ordnance Survey maps: An application for pluvial flood risk in Worcester
Abstract:
Between 2004 and 2008 the city of Worcester, UK experienced a number of
pluvial flood events. The causes of this kind of flooding are the topic of
ongoing research. This paper describes a study that aimed to investigate
the urban development of Worcester over time in relation to the location
of recorded pluvial flood incidents. A novel rapid mapping method has been
developed to derive urban development over five time periods between 1886
and 1995 from scanned Ordnance Survey historical maps. The technique
compared well with manual digitisation results with k-hat values ranging
from 0.67 to 0.87 for the land use maps created for different time
periods. The technique performed least well for the oldest map series, due
to misclassification of the abundant symbols and annotation. The method
will be particularly beneficial for investigation of town/city development
in time over large areas. The resulting map of urban development in
Worcester (scale 1:20,000) shows that almost half of the recorded pluvial
flood incidents occurred in areas developed between 1956 and 1975, which
contradicts local belief that an outdated (Victorian) drainage system
causes most of the problems. The quality of the post World War II
developments is more likely to be a source for concern.

Title: Weevil Viewer: An interactive mapping application for geographic and phenological exploration of Wisconsin's primitive weevils
Abstract:
Geographically referenced faunal surveys are essential for land managers,
conservation biologists, and entomologists to understand the distribution
and diversity of organisms in the landscape. Further, the provision of
faunal surveys through online and interactive mapping tools may generate
new insights into species occurrence and location, ultimately leading to
better informed decisions about how best to manage these species and their
habitats. With these considerations in mind, we developed Weevil Viewer,
an online, interactive mapping application for displaying the results of a
faunal survey conducted on the four primitive weevil families found in
Wisconsin. Design of Weevil Viewer was informed by Shneiderman's
information seeking mantra, providing a pair of map overviews that can be
filtered or zoomed iteratively by species, location, and time to glean new
insights into the faunal distribution and diversity as well as to identify
potential sites for future surveys. Weevil Viewer continues to be
populated with new survey information and serves as a proof-of-concept
application that can be extended to support the visual exploration of
other biodiversity surveys.

Title: What is the spatial link between the Roman civilisation and cultural landscape in Romania?
Abstract:
Exploring the dimensions of landscape history, particularly those
reflected in the present spatial reconfiguration, requires the use of
models to facilitate its evaluation. Considering heritage as a
contemporary production result, in this paper the traces of Roman
colonisation in the landscape are apprehended in regard to the present
time. More precisely, we focused on the southern Romanian territory which
was located at the periphery of the Roman Empire at the time of its
maximum extent. Its peculiarity is that, even though it experienced a
rather short organisation under the Roman administration, clear spatial
traces emerge in the present cultural landscape. The identification of
visible landmarks within the landscape was achieved through a combined
framework of ancillary documents, cartographic material and archaeological
gazetteer data, in an interdisciplinary attempt to produce a spatial
correlation between the historical territorial planning and the present
landscape. Thus, the most important results of the study include modelling
the spatial pattern of Roman continuity in the present landscape.

Title: Integrating spatial and time sensitive data to monitor social patterns: A dynamic methodology for studying social issues
Abstract:
This research introduces a dynamic methodology that can be used to monitor
social issues using spatial and time sensitive data. The methodology was
used in a project funded to assess the Highway Watch® program
administered by the American Trucking Associations, United States
Department of Homeland Security. The application of the methodology is of
interest to a much wider social science audience, and is the focus of this
manuscript. The Highway Watch® program was established to be America's
'eyes on the road' in the wake of a post-9/11 society. The program was
implemented to train trucking professionals to be on alert and report
suspicious activity as a means of public safety. In an assessment of this
program, our research team combined two unique datasets to measure the
density and frequency of freight truck traffic in a sample of urban and
interstate roadways to measure the coverage of potential 'eyes on the
road.' Of interest to social scientists and spatial analysts is the use of
social, spatial, and industry segment data, integrated with interactive
data visualization software to analyze at-risk places and populations. The
method serves as a useful tool for monitoring social issues in time and
space.

Title: Geomorphology and geomorphological landscapes of Fuentes Carrionas
Abstract:
A 1:12,000 geomorphological map of Fuentes Carrionas (Northern Spain) is
presented. Geomorphological landscapes maps are also shown to support map
interpretation and show the area's geomorphological diversity. The maps
were developed using the IGUL (Institut de Géographie, Université de
Lausanne) geomorphological mapping legend. This has been adapted to GIS
scheme in order to use the map as a basis for further work. The IGUL
legend has been demonstrated to be highly effective for mountain
environments where the main morphogenetical agents are dynamic and
climatic processes.

Title: Petro-structural map of the Money Unit (Gran Paradiso Massif, Valnontey valley, Western Alps)
Abstract:
The Gran Paradiso Massif is one of the Internal Crystalline Massifs
(Penninic Zone) in the Alps. This Massif comprises the widely investigated
Gran Paradiso Unit and the underlying, much less-explored Money Unit,
which is a well-exposed tectonic window below the Gran Paradiso Unit. This
contribution provides a new detailed petro-structural map of the Money
Unit. An integrated structural and metamorphic study can relate different
structures to the evolving metamorphic stages. There is also recognition
of evidence of Permo-Carboniferous sedimentation, contact metamorphism and
polyphase Alpine evolution, mainly developed under blueschist to
greenschist facies conditions.The 1:5000 scale map (and the cross
sections) display evidence for the Alpine evolution of the Money Unit and
for the structural and geological setting of this area. From these data, a
3D model of the Money Unit and its folded contact with the Gran Paradiso
Units is constructed.

Title: Geochemical reactivity of rocks of the Czech Republic
Abstract:
In this study, we present a map of the geochemical reactivity of rocks of
the Czech Republic at a scale of 1:1,000,000 based on a geodatabase of
regional geological maps at a scale of 1:50,000, as well as description of
the method of how the map was developed. Research for this study was
performed by compiling information between a database of regional
geological maps and data from the lithogeochemical database to calculate
and classify the rocks into eight groups according to carbonate content
and coefficient of alkalinity. Rocks in these groups were further
subdivided according to the susceptibility to weathering, forming a total
of 28 categories. Knowledge of geochemical background is essential for
making informed landscape management decisions, as this information
determines the areas with higher levels of susceptibility to soil
acidification and/or nutrient degradation. The map from this study will
therefore provide essential information, albeit incomplete, to aid
landscape management practitioners.

Title: Geological map of the Miocene-Pleistocene successions of the Mejillones Peninsula, Northern Chile
Abstract:
The Mejillones Peninsula (northern Chile) has undergone a complex
tectono-sedimentary history from the Miocene onward and is dissected by a
network of normal faults that generated three asymmetric half-grabens
located in a forearc position with respect to the Chile subduction system.
A new 1:50,000-scale geological map of the peninsula, covering an area of
ca 800 km-super-2 and based on a detailed facies analysis
and field mapping (1:20,000 scale) in conjunction with a comprehensive
interpretation of aerial photographs (1:33,000 scale), gives new and
updated information about the nature of marine sedimentation and
deformation during the Miocene to Pleistocene and permits the geological
history of the peninsula during this time period to be reconstructed. An
important aspect of organising the Miocene to Pleistocene stratigraphy has
been the recognition of three regional allostratigraphic units in the
hangingwall basin-fill sediments (the Miocene Caleta Herradura, Pliocene
La Portada, and Pleistocene Mejillones alloformations) and two major
morphostratigraphic units (PlioMMU and PleiMMU) including extensive
flights of Pliocene and Pleistocene marine terraces carved on crestal and
flanking areas of adjacent footwall blocks.

Title: Tectonic-geomorphological map of the middle Aterno River valley (Abruzzo, Central Italy)
Abstract:
After the 6 April, 2009 normal faulting L'Aquila earthquake (Mw 6.3), the
attention of many scientists was drawn to the Abruzzo Apennines. Until
that time few studies had addressed the geomorphological and
morphotectonic features of this area and none to extensive
geomorphological mapping.The tectonic-geomorphological map (scale
1:40,000) presented in this work is the result of a morphotectonic
investigation of the middle Aterno River valley, which includes the area
from the western L'Aquila-Coppito basin (to the northwest) to the
Paganica-San Demetrio basin and to the Castelnuovo-Civitaretenga basin (to
the southeast).The map is implemented within a GIS environment by means
of: DEM and map-based cartographic analysis and morphometry of orography
and hydrography (raster and vector data scale 1:25,000, 10 m grid DEM),
photogeological analysis (scale 1:10,000), structural geomorphological
field mapping (scale 1:10,000), basin fill geometry analysis (geophysical
and borehole investigations) and tectonic-geomorphological profiles that
couple landforms, deposits and surfaces. The map incorporates orography
and hydrography, basin fill geometry, tectonic-geomorphology and
tectonic-geomorphological profiles.The result provides a basis for the
recognition of morphotectonic features at basin scale, detection of
tectonic control on the landscape, and reconstruction of paleo-landscapes
and basin geometry.

Title: Mapping the annual evolution of snow depth in a small catchment in the Pyrenees using the long-range terrestrial laser scanning
Abstract:
This paper presents the methodology used to develop snow depth
distribution maps for a small catchment in the Central Spanish Pyrenees
covering 55 ha in a 1:10,000 scale. The Main Map was obtained using LiDAR
(light detection and ranging) technology from a long-range Terrestrial
Laser Scanner (TLS) in six field surveys undertaken during the 2012
winter-spring period. This technique enabled the acquisition of
information at a very high resolution concerning the spatial variability
of snow cover, providing snow depth information for remote areas where
data acquisition is complex and hazardous. We describe the methodological
steps and the quality assessment applied in developing the maps.
Comparison with manual measurements confirmed the reliability of the snow
depth maps, including areas located at large distances from the scanner
(800 m). This method provides a promising tool for future investigations
of snow dynamics in mountainous environments.

Title: Geomorphology of the Rotolon landslide (Veneto Region, Italy)
Abstract:
In this paper a geomorphological map of the Rotolon landslide is
presented. This cartographic product was obtained using a combination of
accurate field surveys together with airborne Lidar analysis, aerial photo
interpretation and thermographic field surveys within a GIS. The map was
prepared in order to analyze the morphological features of the landslide
and therefore improve interpretation of the GB-InSAR data. This monitoring
device was installed on the site after the detachment of a debris mass of
225,000 m-super-3 on 4 November 2010. The main purpose of the post-event
activities, including the geomorphological characterization, was to detect
the processes acting on the landslide, evaluate the hazard related to each
phenomenon, understand the landslide kinematics and define the residual
risk for the area.The geomorphological map suggests that debris production
and detachment are hazardous phenomena that involve the surficial detrital
cover of a bigger and more complex landslide. The latter has the typical
characteristics of a deep-seated gravitational slope deformation. The
distinction between secondary processes, which appear to be the most
hazardous in the short-term, and deep seated ones, demonstrates that
accurate mapping provides important information for local administrations
and decision makers, allowing them to prepare landslide susceptibility and
hazard models.

Title: Geology of the Anecón Grande area, Patagonia (Río Negro), Argentina
Abstract:
This contribution presents a 1:200,000 scale geologic map of the Anecón
Grande area in northern Patagonia (41°00′-41°30′
S/70°00′-70°30′ W, Río Negro province, Argentina),
covering around 2300 km-super-2. The map results from a combination of
classical visual stereoscopic interpretation of aerial photographs and
remote sensing data, later corroborated by field surveys. The geology of
the Anecón Grande is composed of a thick succession of intermediate to
acidic volcanic and pyroclastic rocks (Late Triassic to Paleogene), and a
thick pile of basaltic lava flows of the Somuncura Plateau (Neogene to
Quaternary). Volcanic landforms, flat lava flows called
'escoriales', and regional peneplains are typical
Patagonian landscapes in the Anecón Grande area. The map is of further
interest for its socio-cultural relevance because the Anecón Grande area
was settled by the Anikhon Grande Mapuche community, being one of the
Native South American People and First Nations in Patagonia. Seven sites
of geological interest are shown on the map which informs the reader of
source areas of lithic materials (geodes, obsidian, peridotite mantle
xenoliths) which may be potentially useful in the manufacturing of
handicrafts by Mapuche people.

Title: Little Ice Age and contemporary glacier extent in the Western and South-Western Piedmont Alps (North-Western Italy)
Abstract:
Glaciers are widely recognized as the best terrestrial indicators of
climate change. Nevertheless, changes that have occurred since the end of
the Little Ice Age (LIA) are often poorly understood. In Italy, glacier
front variations in the last 100 years have been well documented, thanks
to the efforts of the Italian Glaciological Committee (Comitato
Glaciologico Italiano, CGI), which coordinates annual surveys on all
glaciers, since 1927, in order to measure their front positions. However,
although front variations are the easiest measurements to take in the
field, they only partially describe changes that occur on the entire
glacial mass. Moreover, the last national glacier inventory dates back to
1957-1958, which was promoted by the CGI on the occasion of the
International Geophysical Year. Authors of the present work herein provide
an updated inventory of present-day (2006) glaciers in the Western and
South-Western Piedmont Alps (situated in the provinces of Turin and
Cuneo). Along with the present-day glacial outlines, the map also includes
a reconstruction of the extent of the glaciers during the Little Ice Age,
inferred from morphological features such as LIA and post-LIA moraine
ridges as well as the aid of historical archive data. Some basic glacier
morphometric parameters (surface, length, width, mean slope, highest and
lowest altitude, exposure) were computed for the two specified time
periods (LIA and 2006). This study was carried out under the framework of
the project 'GlaRiskAlp - Glacial Risks in Western Alps', project n.°
56 under the 2007-2013 ALCoTra programs.

Title: A highly detailed land-use vector map for Madrid region based on photo-interpretation
Abstract:
Land Use - Land Cover (LULC) maps have developed remarkably since the
global community became aware of the importance of knowing where LULC
change is taking place on the Earth's surface. The rapid evolution of
geographic information data handling and the automation of satellite image
interpretation through remote sensing techniques and algorithms is
providing increasingly abundant and up-to-date information on LULC. In
addition, at large detail scales, it is important to link LULC maps to
available statistical information, such as census information and business
activities, which allow land parcels to be more accurately classified.
Though automated classification methods can produce useful maps at smaller
detail scales, it is not usually possible to accurately map urban areas at
large scales without considerable investment of human resources. The
development of large-scale information for urban areas is very important,
especially in urban areas with accelerated rates of urban change which may
jeopardize natural resources and citizens' quality of life. In this paper,
the creation of a set of large detail scale LULC maps and accompanying
geodatabase for one such dynamic urban change region, the Madrid
Autonomous Community (AC), Spain, is discussed.

Title: Integrated geological map of the São Roque Domain, North of São Paulo City - Brazil
Abstract:
The São Roque Domain has an extensive geological cartographic base
that began in the nineteenth century with the works performed by the
Geographic and Geological Commission of São Paulo
Province. The first more detailed geological maps of geological
substrate of the São Paulo city and neighboring areas were executed
in the decades of 1940-1950, and culminated in the integrated maps by
José Moacyr Vianna Coutinho published in the 1970s. As
part of a systematic geological mapping campaign led by
PRÓ-MINÉRIO, most of the São Roque Domain was mapped at
1:50,000 scales; these maps, and others at the same or more detailed scale
published mostly in the 1980s, are only available in unpublished academic
theses and reports. This article presents an integrated map of most of the
São Roque Domain based on all the available maps and some new
stratigraphic and geochronological data that appeared in recent local
literature.

Title: The Tatra Mountains during the Last Glacial Maximum
Abstract:
The Tatra Mountains extend along the border between Slovakia and Poland in
the Western Carpathians. It is the highest and formerly one of the most
glaciated massifs in the entire Carpathian mountain chain. We present a
paleoglaciological map of the Tatra Mts. and its foreland (ca. 1270
km-super-2) for the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at the scale 1:50 000. We
re-evaluate geomorphological evidence for all Tatra glacial systems
identified in the literature based on new field mapping and remote sensing
data analysis. Utilizing geographic information systems (GIS) and 10 m
resolution digital elevation model (DEM) as a base topography, we have
reconstructed, for the first time, the detailed extent and surface
geometry of all Tatra LGM glaciers (55 glacier systems, total area ca. 280
km-super-2) based on the distribution of glacial erosional and
depositional landforms. Our research results confirm stronger glaciation
on the southern slopes of the Tatras due to local topography. We also
conclude that distinct morainic amphitheaters, which predominate on the
southern side of the highest, eastern part of the Tatras, were formed by
debris-covered glaciers.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Tweedsmuir Hills, Central Southern Uplands, Scotland
Abstract:
The Quaternary glacial history of the Tweedsmuir Hills, Central Southern
Uplands, Scotland, has received little attention since the 1980s, with
earlier studies focussing on single lines of geomorphic evidence in
isolated valleys. This study presents the first systematic glacial
geomorphological assessment of the region, covering approximately 300
km-super-2 with the map designed to be presented at A0. Mapping from
remotely sensed imagery and field investigation reveal a large number of
moraines and meltwater channels, both within valleys and occasionally
extending to the plateau, alongside a range of peri- and para-glacial
features, including solifluction lobes, alluvial fans, debris cones, river
terraces and rock slope failures. Aspects of the mapped geomorphology are
consistent with plateau icefield landsystems mapped elsewhere in Britain
and this will hopefully form the basis for palaeoglaciological
reconstructions which will improve our understanding of the extent and
dynamics of former ice masses in the region.

Title: Natural terroir units, Siena province, Tuscany
Abstract:
This work aimed at setting up a multivariate and geostatistical
methodology to map viticultural terroirs at the province scale
(1:125,000). The methodology is based upon the creation of a GIS storing
all the viticultural and oenological legacy data of experimental vineyards
(1989-2009), long-term climate data, digital elevation model, soilscapes
(land systems) and legacy data of soil profiles.Environmental parameters
related to viticulture, selected by an explorative PCA, were: elevation,
mean annual temperature, mean soil temperature, annual precipitation,
clay, sand and gravel content of soils, soil water availability,
redoximorphic features and rooting depth.The variables interpolated using
geostatistical methods, were used for a k-means
clustering aimed to map the Natural Terroir Units (NTU). Vineyards of the
province of Siena was subdivided into 9 NTU.Both the historical DOCG
(Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and Nobile di Montepulciano) and
other DOCs were characterized by three or four NTU, whereas the wider
Chianti and Chianti Colli senesi DOCG was mainly constituted by seven NTU.

Title: Morphostructure of the Lucania Apennines front between the Basento and Salandrella rivers (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
We have produced a morphostructural map to explore the tectonic
geomorphology of the Lucania part of the southern Apennines mountain front
to assess the relative role that tectonic and erosion processes played in
shaping the topography of this part of the orogen. Data were collected
mainly through field work and airphoto interpretation. The main
morpho-tectonic elements seem to be affected by out-of-sequence thrusting
and wide regional uplift which played an important role in the latest
stage of orogenic wedge evolution.The geomorphic expression of the local
tectonics of individual structures reflects the structural and
stratigraphic heritage and were overprinted in the Middle Pleistocene when
regional rock uplift lifted the entire mountain front and its foredeep
above sea level, imparting a new tectonic slope that dictates erosion and
landscape evolution to the present day. Distinct geomorphological features
such as asymmetrical ridges, relict valleys and paleosurfaces, have
developed on rocks of variable durability and are exposed by regional
uplift and erosion along non-cylindrical structures, fault transfer zones,
and lateral ramps.This map also identifies for the first time a relict
strike valley at the mountain front and a set of geomorphic markers that
highlight the particular relationship between drainage evolution and
thrusting.

Title: Geology of the Ariadnes Basin, NE Eridania quadrangle, Mars - 1:1Million
Abstract:
Here we present a 1:1,000,000 geological map of the Ariadnes basin
(31-38° S, 170-179° E) (Mars), which is one of the topographic
depressions located between Terra Sirenum and Terra Cimmeria in the
Martian highlands. This basin is diverse, both in terms of morphology and
mineralogy, and it is a site of major interest to study the chronological
boundary between the Noachian and Hesperian periods (∼3.71 Ga).
However, a detailed map of the area has not yet been published. The map
described in this paper was produced through the analysis of recent images
and topographic data that allow the definition of the geologic units with
unprecedented detail. We distinguished eight units and diverse tectonic
and geomorphic features. We also examined the regional stratigraphy by age
determination using crater counting in order to constrain the geological
history of the Ariadnes basin. The map provides a basis for which later
analyses can build understanding of the regional paleoenvironment.

Title: A glacial geomorphological map of the southernmost ice lobes of Patagonia: the Bahía Inútil - San Sebastián, Magellan, Otway, Skyring and Río Gallegos lobes
Abstract:
This paper presents a glacial geomorphological map of the landforms
created by five large ice lobes that extended eastwards from the
southernmost reaches of the Patagonian Ice Sheet during the Quaternary
period. The study is focussed on Tierra del Fuego, but also updates
previous mapping of the Skyring and Otway lobes, and the resulting level
of detail and extent is a significant advance on previous work in the
region. The map has been created as the necessary precursor for an
improved understanding of the glacial history of the region, and to
underpin a programme of dating glacial limits in the region. It was
produced using Landsat ETM+ and ASTER satellite imagery and vertical
aerial photography, supplemented by Google Earth™ imagery and
field-checking. Eleven landform types were mapped: moraine ridges, subdued
moraine topography, kettle-kame topography, glacial lineations, irregular
and regular hummocky terrain, irregular dissected ridges, eskers,
meltwater channels, former shorelines and outwash plains. The map reveals
three important characteristics of the glacial geomorphology. First, the
geomorphic systems are largely dominated by landforms associated with
meltwater (channels, outwash plains and kettle-kame topography). Second,
there is a difference in the nature of landforms associated with the
northern three ice lobes, where limits are generally marked by numerous
clear moraine ridges, compared to those to the south, where hummocky
terrain and drift limits prevail. Finally, cross-cutting landforms offer
evidence of multiple advances, in places, which has implications for the
timing of limit deposition, and thus for the design and interpretation of
a dating programme.

Title: Quaternary geomorphology of the Siljan area, central Sweden
Abstract:
We present a 1:100,000 scale Quaternary
geomorphic map covering 2500 km-super-2 in Central Sweden and
including the Siljan Impact Structure. Because of the crater, the area is
currently under consideration to become a geopark, and this project was
undertaken to document Quaternary geology that may be of interest to park
organizers and future visitors.A high-resolution digital elevation model
with a vertical resolution of 0.25 m and a lateral resolution of
2.0 m was used as the base to map sub-, pro-, and post-glacial
landforms. Consideration of the suite of landforms indicates ice flow from
the northwest, multiple paleo-lake levels, and unstable landscapes into
the Holocene. Additionally, the impact structure has played a role in
routing both glacial and post-glacial drainage.

Title: Drought events at different timescales in southern Italy (Calabria)
Abstract:
This study reports an analysis of the
spatial drought patterns for a region of southern Italy (Calabria) based
on a homogenous monthly precipitation data set of 129 rain gauges for the
period 1916-2006. Drought was expressed using the Standardized
Precipitation Index (SPI), and drought events were analyzed using both the
short-time (3 and 6 months) and the long-time (12 and 24 months) SPI. In
particular, in order to characterize the SPI spatial pattern, index data
of the three most severe drought events were interpolated and mapped using
a geostatistical approach. Results show that these heavy drought episodes
have widely affected the Calabria region and the drought that occurred in
2002 was the worst in terms of spatial extent both at short- and long-time
scales.

Title: Bioclimate of Italy: application of the worldwide bioclimatic classification system
Abstract:
The worldwide bioclimatic classification
system (WBCS) of Rivas-Martínez was applied to the Italian territory and
surrounding areas between latitudes 35°47′-46°60′ N
and longitudes 5°92′-21°39′ E. The 'WorldClim'
precipitation and temperature dataset was used as the source data.
Application of the WBCS in a geographic information system allowed the
production of macrobioclimates, bioclimates, ombrotypes, continentality,
compensated thermicity index and ombro-evaporal index maps at a scale of
1:5,500,000, and a map of thermotypes at a scale of 1:2,250,000. Moreover,
the isobioclimates of Italy are identified and quantified in terms of
areas. These maps are available here as raster datasets (1 km
spatial resolution) and are useful for: (i) rapid bioclimatic diagnosis of
the Italian territories; and (ii) vegetation-environment relationship
modeling at the national scale.

Title: Mapping geomorphological values from a landscape perspective
Abstract:
An easily applied methodology is developed
for mapping geomorphological values from a landscape modelling
perspective. The method is based on exhaustive fieldwork in which data are
gathered relating to the structure and characteristics of relief, with the
information weighted according to: (1) importance and significance in the
area studied and (2) the viewsheds of prominent places. The procedure is
applied in Muntanyes d'Ordal (Barcelona), with a large number of
low-category values obtained.

Title: Gravimetric gradient, Sicily and southern Calabria, Italy (Central Mediterranean)
Abstract:
A powerful cartographic tool in
identifying major tectonic lineaments and/or ancient margins along the
Sicilian and southern Calabria Orogenic system (southern Italy) has been
obtained by producing the 1:250,000 scale digital contour map of gravity
anomalies available for the Italian region. By processing contour maps, an
'elevation model' of the gravity anomalies for Sicily and southern
Calabria was produced. The 'elevation model' was used to generate a slope
representation of the gravity trend that is presented in this paper at
1:500,000. The map covers an area of about 95,000 km-super-2 and
includes both the inland areas of Sicily and southern Calabria and the
adjacent seas. The color of the pixels varies from blue, where no
significant variation of the gradient occurs, to red with the steepest
gradients. Taking into account (i) the nature of rocks which are involved
in the analyzed orogenic system and (ii) the juxtaposition of rocks with
different densities is usually controlled by faults, the thematic map here
presented can provide an additional tool for a regional scale tectonic
interpretation of this sector of the Central Mediterranean.

Title: Geology of the middle and upper Pleistocene marine and continental terraces of the northern Tavoliere di Puglia plain (Apulia, southern Italy)
Abstract:
The Tavoliere di Puglia is a large
alluvial plain located in southern Italy (Foggia Province, Apulia Region).
From a geological perspective view, it represents the northern part of the
Bradanic trough located between the southern Apennine Chain and the
Apulian Foreland. A detailed geological survey of the middle-late
Pleistocene terraces has been performed in this area and a new geologic
map, at 1:150,000 scale, is here described. Criteria to distinguish these
units are based on the recognition of basal unconformity surfaces: seven
different synthems (UBSU, Unconformity-bounded Stratigraphic Units) have
been discriminated. The data are presented in a synthesis map in which the
geometrical relationships between the different sedimentary units are
shown. New results for this sector of the Bradanic trough are
significantly different from previous literature data. Furthermore, the
map allows a reliable reconstruction of the Tavoliere di Puglia
paleogeography during the Late Quaternary. Moreover, a detailed map of the
Pleistocene terraces is fundamental to analyze and solve environmental
problems associated with soil loss and desertification processes and river
flood events.

Title: Average shear wave velocity of the plain of the province of Treviso (Northern Italy)
Abstract:
The accompanying map is the result of a
regional survey to present average shear wave velocity in the uppermost
layers (20-40 m in depth) of a large area situated in the province
of Treviso, northeastern Italy. The research was conducted using the
Refraction Microtremors (ReMi) seismic technique. Data from a total of 250
recording stations, scattered over an area of 2000 km-super-2, was
collected during a two months in early 2006. The final Vs map shows the
tight correlation between the seismic response of the area and the
structure of alluvial deposits formed during late Pleistocene and
Holocene. The ReMi technique, as well as the other techniques based on the
survey of the surface wave, can be valuable tools for regional mapping
average values of the shear wave in near surface deposits. These data,
from a seismological perspective, along with measurements of the
fundamental period, represent an excellent alternative for the site
modeling.

Title: Geology of the Aventino River Valley (eastern Majella, central Italy)
Abstract:
The Apenninic fold-and-thrust belt in
Italy represents one of several interconnected circum-Mediterranean
orogens developed after the Late Cretaceous - early Cenozoic closure of
Tethys and convergence between the European and African plates. The
Geological Map of the Aventino River Valley, at 1:25,000 scale, provides
original mapping of the outermost sector of Central Apennines in the
Abruzzi region. Focusing on detailed mapping of the crosscutting
relationships between the main regional thrust faults and tectonically
driven stratigraphic unconformities, the map describes the complex
structural and stratigraphic relationships between the Outer Abruzzi units
(i.e. Porrara Unit), Apulia - Adriatic deformed units (i.e. Majella and
Casoli Units), and the allochthonous Molise and Sicilide units. These
tectono-stratigraphic relationships result from four main tectonic stages
that occurred sequentially over a short time interval from late Messinian
to early Pliocene.

Title: Geomorphology of the Durmitor Mountains and surrounding plateau Jezerska Površ (Montenegro)
Abstract:
The geomorphological map of the
northeastern Durmitor Mountains and the plateau Jezerska Površ
(1:10,000, 47 km², Montenegro, Dinaric Alps) was prepared from
an intensive fieldwork campaign and remote sensing analysis, and was
compiled within a GIS. The basic components of the legend are (i)
processes/genesis, (ii) materials, (iii) morphometry/morphography, (iv)
hydrography, (v) vegetation and (vi) anthropogenic features. The
geomorphological setting of the area consists of Mesozoic limestones which
are physically deformed by Quaternary glacial and periglacial activity and
chemically affected during interglacials. Glacial deposits on the plateau
of three middle-to-late Pleistocene glacial phases are intersected by a
well-developed network of palaeo meltwater channels. In the mountains,
Holocene glacier retreat left behind a series of well-preserved
recessional moraines. The map serves as a valuable tool for Quaternary
research in the Durmitor Mountains, and also in other mountains of the
Western Balkans.

Title: Shifting shoreline of Sagar Island Delta, India
Abstract:
Shoreline mapping is extremely important
in order to determine the dynamic nature of coastal areas. This paper
presents shoreline mapping of the Sagar Island delta, Sundarban region,
India. The island is part of mangrove ecosystem and is facing constant
erosion and deposition from tidal action and cyclonic storms which have
made this an area of unique importance. Mapping of shoreline has been
performed 1951 to 2011 and change in the land-water boundary of the island
calculated. Further shoreline prediction is performed on the basis of the
extracted shorelines using the End point Rate model with a micro-level
grid-based approach. The predicted maps have been validated using ground
control points. Three images from 1951, 1990 and 2011 have been used for
the mapping and detection of changes in the island area and shoreline over
60 years.

Title: Fire occurrence zones: kernel density estimation of historical wildfire ignitions at the national level, Greece
Abstract:
The focus of our study was to create a
Main Map of fire occurrence zones from historical wildland fire ignition
observations at national level in Greece using a Kernel Density estimation
procedure. Kernel density estimation, a non parametric statistical method
for estimating probability densities, has been widely used for home range
estimation in wildlife ecology. It has the advantage of directly producing
density estimates that are not influenced by grid size and localization
effects. Furthermore, it produces densities of any shape and analyzes any
data distributed multi-modally or non-normally. Under this perspective,
kernel density surfaces have been created to construct fire occurrence
zones. Their observed distribution was statistically significantly
different than the expected one that arises under complete spatial
randomness. A smoothing effect is certainly observed when increasing the
bandwidth size of the kernel density interpolation. Excluding the kernel
size of 1000 meters, then the results do not prove any influence of
kernel size or control points on the kernel density surfaces.

Title: Contour map of the top of the regional geothermal reservoir of Sicily (Italy)
Abstract:
An integrated review of existing geological and geophysical data - partly
acquired during oil and gas exploration - combined with new data provided
by deep geothermal studies of selected key areas, was used for the 3D
modeling and mapping of the top of the geothermal reservoir developed at a
regional scale in Sicily (Central Mediterranean). The resulting 1:500,000
scale map covers the area of the whole Sicily (about 25,700 km-super-2)
and is devoted to represent the main input for both the thermal modeling
and the evaluation of geothermal potential at a regional scale. As the map
indicates the distribution at depth of a likely target for geothermal
drilling, it can be also used as a rough indicator of expected drilling
cost for geothermal projects. Such a map can be seen as a useful planning
tool for any geothermal project, and related exploration to be carried out
in the Sicily region in the future.

Title: Geological-structural map of the Orobic and Porcile thrust junction, central Southern Alps (N Italy)
Abstract:
The central Southern Alps retrobelt was built trough a polyphase tectonic
evolution that developed in the hangingwall of the SE-directed Alpine
Tethys subduction. In the northern sector of the central Southern Alps the
earliest stages of shortening resulted in the inversion of structures
inherited from the Permian and Triassic rifting phases, together with
southward thrusting and large-scale folding. In the San Marco Pass area (N
Italy) the Variscan basement overrides the Permian-Triassic sedimentary
cover along regional thrusts. Here the E-W trending Orobic Thrust joins
the NE-SE Porcile Thrust. Initial thrusting phases formed greenschist
facies mylonites in the basement and S-verging folds in the sedimentary
covers. The Porcile line, a feature likely inherited from the Permian
extension, was re-activated as a steep mylonite shear zone. Fault activity
continued at brittle conditions: cataclastic shear zones overprinted the
mylonites. During this phase, shortening was preferentially accommodated
along the Orobic Thrust. A final transpressive re-activation observed
along both thrusts is linked to the Oligocene activity of the Insubric
Fault.

Title: Geology of the Villalvernia - Varzi Line Between Scrivia and Curone valleys (NW Italy)
Abstract:
The External Ligurian and Epiligurian Units in the Northern Apennines of
Italy are tectonically juxtaposed with the Tertiary Piedmont Basin along
the Villalvernia - Varzi Line, which represents a regional scale fault
zone, E-striking. Our map, at the 1:20,000 scale, describes the
tectono-stratigraphic evolution of this sector that resulted from
multistage faulting along that fault zone. Four main tectonic stages are
defined on the basis of the crosscutting relationships between mapped
faults and stratigraphic unconformities: late Priabonian - Rupelian,
Chattian - early Miocene, late Serravallian - Tortonian, and late
Messinian - early Pliocene. Our results demonstrate that since the late
Burdigalian, the Villalvernia - Varzi Line was sealed by the gravitational
emplacement of a chaotic rock body. The deposition of the late
Serravallian - early Messinian succession is controlled by NW-striking
strike-slip faults that crosscut to the west the Villalvernia - Varzi
Line. Extensional tectonics related to regional scale N-dipping tilting
characterized the late Messinian - early Pliocene time interval.

Title: Structural and geomorphological map of the Passo San Marco - Pizzo di Trona area (Western Orobic Alps, Southern Alps, Italy)
Abstract:
We present a structural and geomorphological map of the Passo San Marco -
Pizzo di Trona area (Northwestern Orobic Alps). This area was studied in
order to make a contribution to the mapping and interpretation of the
landforms and the mesoscale structures in the basement and sedimentary
cover. The aim of this study is to provide a useful insight for a better
understanding of the geological and geomorphological evolution of the
Orobic belt during the Alpine orogenesis. The original geological survey
was carried out at a 1:5000 scale while the presented map is at a 1:8000
scale. In particular, a detailed structural survey of brittle and ductile
structures was carried out. The structural analysis has led to the
identification of six phases of deformation: three pre-Alpine and three
Alpine. During these deformation phases, ductile (folds and foliations)
and brittle (faults, cataclasites and pseudotachylites) structures
developed both in the Variscan basement and in the Permo-Triassic
sedimentary cover.

Title: Geological map of the Tellaro River Valley (Hyblean Foreland, southeastern Sicily, Italy)
Abstract:
The Geological map of the Tellaro River Valley, at the 1:25.000 scale,
portrays the main stratigraphic and structural features that developed in
a 300 km-super-2 wide area of the African foreland in southeastern Sicily
(Hyblean Foreland). The NW-SE-oriented Tellaro River Valley marks the
transition between the eastern (Siracusa Plateau) and western (Ragusa
Plateau) domains of the foreland, where a post-Tortonian structural
depression, here designated as Tellaro Basin, originated. The map pictures
the geometry and kinematics of the border faults and the structure
affecting the basin infilling. The mapped structural pattern denounces a
poliphase tectonic evolution of the region, suggesting the occurrence of a
major NW-SE-oriented crustal discontinuity that, being active during the
different periods of the post-Tortonian evolution of the area, could play
a primary role also in the present seismotectonic picture.

Title: Structural map of Variscan northern Sardinia (Italy)
Abstract:
In this paper, we present a geological structural map (1:100,000 scale,
∼2300 km-super-2 surface area) of the Variscan basement of northern
Sardinia. The map integrates field structural analysis, extensive
gamma-ray spectrometry, and high-resolution ELA-ICP-MS U/Th-Pb zircon and
monazite dating. A set of 10 samples of granitic rocks collected from
different plutons were characterized for their crystallization age. This
provided an accurate timing of magmatic events related to the development
of the Corsica-Sardinia Batholith. The structural map, complemented with
geochronological results represents a benchmark for future studies on
Variscan geodynamics.

Title: Tectono-metamorphic map of the south-western flank of the Aspromonte Massif (southern Calabria -Italy)
Abstract:
The structural-geological field survey (1:10,000 scale) of the
south-western portions of the Aspromonte Massif (southern Calabria, Italy)
clearly reveal a nappe-pile stack made of three main tectono-metamorphic
units piled-up by means of tectonic contacts with associated cataclastic
or mylonitic rocks developed at various crustal depth. These three units
are from top to bottom: the Stilo Unit, the Aspromonte-Peloritani Unit
(APU) and the Madonna di Polsi Unit. As part of an ongoing project, we
have constructed a structural and metamorphic GIS database based on 285
sampling stations, which allows for metamorphic and structural maps to be
obtained in the form of the metamorphic zoning of the SU.. This unit, made
up of low greenschist- to low amphibolite-facies Palaeozoic metamorphic
rocks, lies through a brittle tectonic contact over the APU, which is made
up of amphibolite-facies metamorphic rocks intruded by late Hercynian
peraluminous both locally overprinted by Alpine type metamorphism. The
petrographic-derived metamorphic zonation chart here presented has been
created after the detailed petrographic analysis of about 80 thin sections
and the recognition of mineral assemblages of a thermal metamorphic
aureole (biotite, muscovite and andalusite blastesis) produced by Late
Hercynian magmatic bodies intruded into metapelites (Punta d'Atò
granitoids, outcropping in the northern part of the mapped area).

Title: Geology of the Pontinvrea area (Ligurian Alps, Italy): structural setting of the contact between Montenotte and Voltri units
Abstract:
This geological map at the 1:10,000 scale shows the structural setting of
two poly-deformed metaophiolite units, with different metamorphic peak
conditions, i.e. the blueschist facies Montenotte Unit and the eclogite
facies Voltri Unit, in a selected area of 8.2 km-super-2 within the
Ligurian Alps (northern Italy). This study focuses on the tectonic contact
between the two tectono-metamorphic units and on their relationships with
the Oligocene sediments of the Tertiary Piedmont Basin. The map is a
composite report of our field and laboratory study of structures and
metamorphism, that explains our interpretation of the tectonic history of
the study area. It shows that the two units were coupled during their
exhumation path, along a blueschist facies mylonitic contact. This contact
has been later involved in thrust faults that caused the superposition of
the metamorphic basement on top of the Oligocene sediments.

Title: Geology map of the central area of Catena Costiera: insights into the tectono-metamorphic evolution of the Alpine belt in Northern Calabria
Abstract:
The 1:25.000 scale geological map of the central area of Catena Costiera
aims to provide a picture of the tectonic setting of the metamorphic units
belonging to the Alpine collisional belt of Northern Calabria, Italy. The
exposed successions of the study area have been investigated by structural
analyses, petrographic, petrological and geochemical studies whose results
are summarised in the geological map.In this area, two HP-LT metamorphic,
oceanic-derived units, referred as the Mongrassano and Cozzo Cervello
units, have been distinguished on the base of their stratigraphic and
tectono-metamorphic evolution. Both the oceanic-derived units show a
polyphase deformation history developed under retrograde metamorphism in a
subduction zone by underplating and exhumation into an accretionary wedge.
These units are overthrust by continental-derived units, referred as the
Sila and Castagna units, consisting of medium and high-grade metamorphic
rocks. While the Castagna unit displays an Alpine HP/LT metamorphic
overprint, the Sila unit escaped any subduction-related metamorphism.

Title: Geological map of the Mount Avic massif (Western Alps Ophiolites)
Abstract:
The Mount Avic massif consists of serpentinized peridotite exposed in the
southern Aosta valley (Northwestern Alps), covering an area of ca. 180
km-super-2. The 1:10,000 scale geological map is located in the southern
portion of the massif, where serpentinite is in contact with ophiolitic
rocks pertaining to the Piemonte Zone, which represents the fossil
Mesozoic Tethyan ocean. Southwards, ophiolites are overthrusted by the
continental-derived Austroalpine Mont Glacier unit. Serpentinite consists
of antigorite, magnetite, and coarse grained Ti-clinohumite, olivine, and
diopside, which are reminiscent of the original mantle texture. Rodingitic
mafic dykes are intruded within serpentinite; other mafic rocks,
consisting of (not rodingitized) metagabbro and metabasalt with relict
eclogitic minerals, occur as tectonic slices associated with serpentinite,
calcschist and sulphide-rich epidosite. The map gives detailed and updated
information on the structure and lithostratigraphy of the Mount Avic
ophiolites, providing an insight to the mantle-crust transition of the
Tethyan oceanic lithosphere.

Title: Structure of the Variscan metamorphic complexes in the central transect of the Posada-Asinara Line (SW Gallura region, Northern Sardinia, Italy)
Abstract:
This study represents the first detailed tectono-metamorphic map of the
metamorphic complexes cropping out in the inner portion of the Variscan
belt in north-central Sardinia Island (Italy). The Main Map is at a
1:30.000 scale and covers an area of c. 148 km-super-2.
It is based on 1: 10.000 scale classic field mapping and represents an
overview of the lithological and structural complexities documented in the
metasedimentary and migmatite domes cropping out along the central
transect of the Posada-Asinara Line (PAL). The PAL is a crustal scale
discontinuity that divides migmatites from the metasedimentary sequences
affected by greenschist- to amphibolite-facies metamorphism. The map shows
the orientations of the superimposed foliations, fold axes and mineral
lineations on the basis of geometric crosscutting relationships and, for
the first time, the location of ductile-brittle and brittle shear zones
developed during the long-lived activity of the Posada-Asinara Line.

Title: Geology of the Variscan basement of the Laconi-Asuni area (central Sardinia, Italy): the core of a regional antiform refolding a tectonic nappe stack
Abstract:
The study area extends in central Sardinia between the coordinates
8°56′00″/39°55′00″ (NW corner) and
9°03′00″/39°50′00″ (SE corner). It forms
part of the Sardinian Variscides that are characterized here by the
western-most aspect of a regional structure known as the Flumendosa
Antiform, which runs ENE-trending for more than 50 km along its axis. It
represents the envelopment of several, upright km-scale minor folds that
refold the different tectonic units of the Variscan Nappe zone
characterized by a number of isoclinal folds, with axial plane foliation
and thick ductile shear zones. The antiform is in turn deformed by
late-orogenic extensional structures, namely asymmetric folds and narrow,
low angle ductile shear zones that generally reactivate earlier
collisional structures.The 1:12,500 scale map completes the mapping of
this important regional structure, meaning that a detailed survey of the
entire mega-structure is now available. This enables more detailed
structural analyses of poly-deformed areas in low-grade metamorphic
conditions to be conducted, given the robust knowledge available of the
lithostratigraphic succession and the geometric and kinematic outlines.

Title: Large sheath folds in the Briançonnais of the Ligurian Alps reconstructed by analysis of minor structures and stratigraphic mapping
Abstract:
This study presents a geometric and structural analysis of curvilinear
sheath folds exposed in blueschist rocks of the Ligurian Alps. Field data
are presented in a geological map of the structural synthesis with related
geological sections (at the 1:10,000 scale) that illustrate the
relationships and evolution of large-scale, sheath folds within
metamorphic rocks. We based our analyses on the geometric parameters of
more than 40 minor folds, as shape (hinge-Lm1 angle, main axial plane/S1
angle, interlimb angle and hinge curvature), asymmetry, fold
hinge/stretching lineation obliquity and structural facing pattern. The
summary of the whole data depicts a coherent 3D structure showing several
orders of minor folds. Sense of asymmetry of minor folds and stratigraphic
order has been used to reconstruct a reliable large-scale structure, and
to define the sheath fold shape.

Title: Superposed syn-metamorphic structures of the Alpine and pre-Alpine convergent cycles in the Southalpine basement of the Orobic Alps (Northern Italy)
Abstract:
New detailed maps of two key areas of the Southalpine basement unravel the
superposition of pre-Alpine deformation stages associated with different
metamorphic imprints, and distinguish Alpine thrust and fold structures
involving basement and Permian-Mesozoic sedimentary cover. Basement rocks
consist of metasediments (micaschists, quartzites and paragneisses) and
metagranitoids and cover rocks comprise Permian volcanics and sediments.
The boundaries between two tectono-metamorphic units have been
distinguished at the map scale, thanks to the integrated use of structural
and petrological analyses, on the basis of foliation trajectories
supported by metamorphic assemblages. Two different pre-Alpine metamorphic
evolutions characterise a basement portion that seemingly appears as a
monotonous sequence dominantly affected by a greenschist-facies imprint.
The volcano-sedimentary sequence of Permian age has been used as the time
marker that separates Alpine from pre-Alpine superposed structures; Alpine
deformation consists of two superposed groups of structures, the first of
which is locally associated with a very low-grade metamorphic imprint and
related at the regional scale to a south-verging thrust system.

Title: Petro-structural geology of the Eastern Aspromonte Massif crystalline basement (southern Italy-Calabria): an example of interoperable geo-data management from thin section - to field scale
Abstract:
The presented maps provide an example of the synoptic display of
multi-scale geological features characterizing the tectono-metamorphic
evolution of the crystalline basement terranes in a
poly-orogenic-multistadial evolutionary scenario. The petro-structural map
of the eastern Aspromonte Massif (southern Calabrian Peloritani Orogen) is
characterized by a nappe-like edifice composed by the superimposition of
three crystalline basement tectonic units which, sharing the same
Alpine-Apennine reworking, underwent a different metamorphic evolution,
mostly derived from the Hercynian orogenic cycle. This geological
framework is completed by the suture deposition of a Oligocene-Miocene
syn-orogenic clastic formation, partly roofed by the back-thrusting of a
clay-rich mélange. In order to understand the potential relationships
within the complex dataset deriving from the geological investigations of
this crystalline basement area, a geo-database, capable of handling
multi-scale information from field-derived structural data (i.e.
foliation, lineation, fold- and fault-related structures) to micro-scale
derived ones (i.e. thin-section analysis, electron microscope and
microprobe investigations, thermodynamic modeling outputs) has been
constructed, according to the international standards using the
Geo-Scientific Markup Language developed by the Commission for the
Management and Application of Geo-science Information. Proposed outputs
will show the relationships between field-related geological features,
showing collected samples and the subsequent laboratory investigations.
These are fundamental to achieving reliable results in geological
contexts, such as those for reconstructing the tectono-metamorphic
evolution of crystalline basement terrains.

Title: Geology of the Brenner Pass-Fortezza transect, Italian Eastern Alps
Abstract:
We present a 1:30,000 geological map resulting from detailed geostructural
surveys carried out along the Italian segment of the design corridor for
the Brenner Pass railway base tunnel (BBT), extending from Fortezza
(Italy) to Innsbruck (Austria). The map covers the southern part of the
Austroalpine-Penninic collisional wedge, the Periadriatic Fault System,
associated Oligocene igneous bodies (Periadriatic magmatism) and part of
the Southalpine basement. The Penninic Zone in the western Tauern Window
is represented by the double domal structure of the Europe-derived Tux and
Venediger-Zillertal basement and cover nappe system, capped by the
ophiolitic Glockner nappe. The overlying Austroalpine nappe system is here
represented by the polymetamorphic Merano-Mules basement and minor cover
sheets. The Southern Alps domain includes the Bressanone Granite and
pre-granite quartz-phyllites. Four Alpine ductile deformation phases have
been recognized, followed by ductile-brittle shear zones, and finally
brittle deformations along faults with extensional and strike-slip
kinematics. The Quaternary is characterized by glacial deposits, large
gravitational mass movements and landslides.

Title: Land cover of Mauritius Island
Abstract:
In this digital era, high-resolution imagery offers a rapid and
inexpensive means of monitoring land use changes. Digitally monitoring
dynamic landscape change is a versatile way of facilitating rapid
strategic decision making in a sustainable manner in a world of increasing
complexity. Whilst a cadastral land information system is useful as a
database, its use is limited for research purposes involving the
manipulation of images - such as in studying flood-prone areas or land
erosion susceptibility. In this paper, we report a land cover map for
Mauritius Island (1859 km-super-2), in the Indian Ocean, at a scale of
1:100,000 (A1-size paper). Inputs used to create the map are a SPOT
satellite image, published map series at 1:25,000 scale, and selected
ground truth surveys for validation. In total, 11 feature types, which are
representative of the island's surface cover, have been mapped.

Title: Land use change propensity maps
Abstract:
Land-use control and planning instruments face new challenges amid growing
pressure for urbanization and annexation of valuable agricultural land and
natural areas. This paper presents the land-use change propensity map,
which shows the local potential for specific land-use changes. Propensity
is derived empirically on the basis of historical land-use changes, with
an explicit evaluation of characteristics that contributed to land-use
change.Each step in creating a propensity map is described: selecting data
that best represents land-use changes, identifying potential drivers of
land-use change and the statistical inference of their impact on land-use
change on the basis of observed historical land-use changes. The resulting
propensity for land-use change is represented in the form of a binary
logit model that evaluates the probability of specific land-use changes.A
series of propensity maps for the territory of the Tábor microregion in
the Czech Republic was created to demonstrate the method. The scale of the
propensity maps is 1:310,000, and they cover an area of 1002 km-super-2.
Each propensity map represents the specific propensity for conversion from
non-urban uses to family, multi-family and individual recreation houses.
The evaluated propensity can be further compared to existing or proposed
land-use regulations.

Title: Using a fuzzy inference system to delimit rural and urban municipalities in the Czech republic in 2010
Abstract:
Due to the suburbanisation process, it is becoming more difficult to
properly define rural and urban areas in the Czech Republic. This
delimitation problem has been intensively studied in Europe, including the
Czech Republic, for decades, but only so-called 'crisp' rules have been
set for the categorisation of urban and rural. This is no longer
satisfactory because of substantial population movements. Our research
focuses on applying fuzzy set theory to the delimitation of rural and
urban areas and on the subsequent advanced cartographic visualisation. We
used the principles of fuzzy regulation, or fuzzy inference systems, on
socio-economic data to show the transitional character of municipalities.
The generated Main map is at scale of 1:500,000, whereas secondary maps
are at scale of 1:2,500,000. Map visualisation of municipalities in the
Czech Republic provides a very unique combination of geographical
information science, cartography and modern geo-computational methods.
Information perception via a map is an adequate way to analyse geographic
information, and the problem of delimiting rural and urban areas can be
suitably visualised using these methods.

Title: World map of potential areas for the use of water cooling pitchers (botijos)
Abstract:
A 1:80,000-scale world map of the suitable areas for
botijos (a Spanish word for traditional pitchers used for
cooling water by evaporation) is presented in this paper. The map has been
obtained combining four variables that define the convenience of these
sweating jugs, namely: dew point depression, temperature, access to
drinking water and presence of local ceramic raw materials. The resulting
world map shows the great potential interest of this chilling technique in
every continent, especially in Africa, Asia and Australia.

Title: Expected traffic speed in Poland using Corine land cover, SRTM-3 and detailed population places data
Abstract:
The paper presents a novel application of detailed satellite imagery (and
derived products) in estimating traffic speeds on public roads over large
areas and for large numbers of road sections. The data used were taken
from Corine Land Cover 2006, a digital elevation model based on SRTM-3, as
well as from sources offering detailed information on population
distribution. This helped quantify the impact of land use (primarily
development) and landform on the speed of uncongested vehicle traffic on
roads of different categories, including motorways, other dual
carriageways, regular highways, local roads, etc. The study produced a map
of potential vehicle speed in Poland at the scale of 1:1,000,000, which
could be used to study temporal accessibility, in particular isochrone
analysis.

Title: DEM-derived markers of drainage network changes in the Eastern Alpine Foothills
Abstract:
The study area is situated between the uplifting Alps and the subsiding
Little Hungarian Plain, between 16°-17° E and 47°-47.5° N.
The differential vertical motion implies neotectonic activity and some
associated geomorphologic features (e.g. wind gaps, small streams in large
valleys, etc.) may be observed as a result of drainage reorganization.
After ∼8.7 Ma the area was characterized by a wide alluvial plain and
a marsh zone. Later on, rivers spread their gravelly sediment over the
whole area, creating gravel terraces in the west and an almost continuous
gravel cover in the eastern, planar terrain. The drainage network in the
hilly region is oriented to the NW-SE alluviation direction, but each
river has several abrupt turns in its lower course.In order to identify
wide and planar features some DEM-derived markers were used. First, two
parameters were considered for each pixel: slope angle and relative
height. Second, two parameters were used to classify wind gaps: incision
of the valley bottom and relative elevation. In our case, the less
uplifted, but more deeply incised valleys are the most obvious markers of
drainage reorganization. Using the mentioned methods, terraced valleys,
wide alluvial valleys and deeply incised valleys, as well as wind gaps,
are recognizable and help interpretation of former river connections.The
spatial pattern of the identified wind gaps suggests that drainage
reorganization was significantly influenced by north-facing escarpments.
Therefore, the map provides additional information to the scientific
debate concerning the post-Miocene tectonic activity of the Eastern Alpine
Foreland.

Title: Geomorphological evolution of the plain between the Livenza and Piave Rivers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries inferred by historical maps analysis (Mainland of Venice, Northeastern Italy)
Abstract:
The ancient hydrographical network and geomorphological framework of the
fluvial and coastal plain encompassed between the Livenza and Piave Rivers
in the mainland of Venice (Northeastern Italy) were reconstructed, based
on historical maps, georeferenced, and overlaid on available
geomorphological maps and aerial photographs. A selection of 59 maps was
accurately analyzed (32 from the sixteenth century, 31 from the
seventeenth century, and 6 from the eighteenth century). They were
selected by author, commitment, date, and scale, from among more than 1000
maps edited by Savi e Esecutori alle Acque (the 'hydrographical' service
during the Republic of Venice) in the 16th and seventeenth century. The
most representatives (7 from the sixteenth century and 6 from the
seventeenth century) were georeferenced and redrawn. Finally, four
1:50.000 maps were created, picturing the ancient morphology and
hydrographical network in the years 1550, 1600, 1650, and 1700, covering
an area of about 130 square kilometers. Geographical information was
compared with historical documents and geological, geomorphological, and
geochronological data. Further comparison of geodetic maps from the
eighteenth to the twenty-first century produced new maps with important
information on the paleogeographical and environmental framework across
two centuries, and particularly on the artificial diversion projects
performed by the Venetian Republic, their effectiveness, and the
geomorphological changes both related to human intervention and recent
climatic changes.

Title: Geomorphological map of the area between Craco and Pisticci (Basilicata, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents the results of geomorphological investigations carried
out in Basilicata region (southern Italy) from the most external thrust
front of the Apennines, where the town of Craco is located, to the
adjacent sector of the Apennines foredeep (Fossa Bradanica; Pisticci
area). The importance of the chosen area mostly resided in the presence of
really diffuse running-waters and gravity-induced landforms which strictly
affect urban areas. The geomorphological processes are linked with the
Quaternary tectonic uplift affecting the Apennine front-Bradanic foredeep
sectors. Series of field surveys, supported by aerial
photo-interpretation, have led to the production of a geomorphological map
at 1:16,000 scale which outlines the main processes and related landforms
recognized in the study area. The latter are the result of the complex
interplay of structural, gravitational and fluvial processes. Particular
attention was devoted to the recognition, identification and mapping of
landslides which affect the slope of the main villages (Craco and
Pisticci), locally giving rise to hazardous conditions.

Title: Coastal and marine geomorphology between Albenga and Savona(NW Mediterranean Sea, Italy)
Abstract:
In this paper, we present a map describing the main geomorphological
features of the coastal and marine area between the towns of Albenga and
Savona (Ligurian Sea, NW Mediterranean) corresponding to a coastal stretch
of ∼40 km. To produce this map, we collated data from the literature,
orthophotos, perspective photos, multibeam and side scan sonar data, and
undertook direct surveys to ground truth data obtained using indirect
techniques. We divided the information into nine thematic layers,
including bathymetry, natural coastal types, geomorphological elements,
seafloor coverage (both geological and biological), coastal and nearshore
dynamics, human influence on coastal and marine environments, coastal
occupation and protected areas.

Title: Geological Map of the Monte Grighini Variscan Complex (Sardinia, Italy)
Abstract:
The study area, belongs to the Nappe zone of the Sardinian Variscan chain
at the NW termination of the Flumendosa antiform. The Monte Grighini
Complex is a NW-SE trending metamorphic complex made up of three tectonic
units and synkinematic magmatic intrusions that show a section of the
deepest portion of the Nappe zone. The tectonic units stacked and folded
under lower greenschist and upper amphibolite facies conditions, were
finally juxtaposed by a kilometer-wide NW-SE trending dextral transtensive
shear zone during the Late Variscan tectonics. The 1:25,000 scale
geological map, cross sections and shear zone deformation map illustrate
the tectonic and metamorphic setting of the area, resulting from the
polyphasic Variscan collisional evolution including early nappe stacking
and later strike slip and extensional tectonics coeval with a late
Carboniferous magmatism. Deformation structures and metamorphic
assemblages recorded by the tectonic units as well as synkinematic
intrusions, provide constraints of fundamental importance for the
reconstruction of southern Variscan chain tectono-metamorphic history.

Title: Near-surface deposits and hillslope evolution of the Adriatic piedmont of the Central Apennines (Feltrino Stream basin and minor coastal basins, Abruzzo, Italy)
Abstract:
This work presents a geomorphological map of the Feltrino Stream basin and
minor surrounding coastal basins (scale 1:20,000), located in the
south-eastern Abruzzo area (Central Italy), across the Adriatic piedmont
of the Maiella massif (Central Apennines). This geomorphological mapping
is focused on near-surface deposits and hillslope evolution analysis and
includes three sections: main geomorphological map; orography and
hydrography; and geomorphological models of hillslope evolution.In the
study area, landforms and continental near-surface deposits are mainly
linked to slope and fluvial processes, even though structural, marine, and
anthropogenic landforms are also present. The mapping is primarily focused
on near-surface deposits and landforms related to the evolution of
hillslopes, resulting from the combination of tectonic (regional uplift)
and surface processes. At a local scale, it can contribute to an
understanding of the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of the changes
of landforms and hillslopes and help solve engineering geomorphological
problems. Finally, it is also a tool for the assessment of
geomorphological hazards in landscapes characterized by widespread
near-surface deposits and intense and rapid geomorphological processes, as
well as a tool for land management.

Title: Geology of Martin Vaz Island, South Atlantic, Brazil
Abstract:
Martin Vaz Island is one of the oceanic islands of the homonym archipelago
linked to the Vitoria-Trindade volcanic seamount ridge, an important South
Atlantic physiographic feature. It is located at
20°28′28″S latitude and 28°51′05″W
longitude, approximately 1200 km away from the Brazilian coast. Its
geology is an important preserved indicator of Pleistocene alkaline
volcanic activities.This work presents lithologic mapping and microscopic
observations of Martin Vaz Island rocks. The geological map was developed
and prepared at the 1:5000 scale using Esri ArcGIS. Some geological
features and structures can be highlighted: two necks, several phonolite
dykes and sub-horizontal layers formed by phonolitic pyroclastic rocks and
basanites.

Title: Soil erosion risk, Sicilian Region (1:250,000 scale)
Abstract:
Assessing the risk of soil erosion caused by water at the regional level
is important for current and future planning of land use and environmental
actions to combat land degradation. The gravity of the risk depends not
only on the rate of soil erosion by water, but also on other factors,
primarily soil depth and workability of the underlying rocks and
sediments, which may be used to calculate the eroded soil. We estimate the
rate of erosion by water (tons ha-super- - 1 year-super- - 1) applying the
Universal Soil Loss Equation model. The map of soil content (tons
ha-super- - 1) to the effective rooting depth was divided by the map of
soil erosion rate to obtain the risk of erosion by water in Sicily,
expressed in terms of years of complete loss of soil cover. This map was
intersected with a map of workability of the underlying bedrock to give
advice on where the cost of soil recovery by deep ripping and rock
grinding are very high. 8382.9 km-super-2 (32.6% of the Sicilian
territory) were rated as at high or very high risk (>100 years), of which
1230.9 km-super-2 developed on bedrock with low workability and so very
costly to be recovered.

Title: Geomorphology of the Lozoya river drainage basin area (Community of Madrid, Spanish Central System)
Abstract:
The Lozoya river catchment is located in the NE part of the Spanish
Central System intracratonic orogen (Community of Madrid, Spain). A
detailed geomorphological map of this area was designed at 1:50,000 scale,
in order to analyze surface processes and Late Cenozoic landscape
evolution. The map covers 925 km-super-2 and it was produced within a
geographic information system (GIS) using several spatial datasets
including a 5 m resolution digital elevation model (DEM), aerial
photographs, digital anaglyphs, and lithological, topographic and historic
maps. These datasets were used to form a preliminary interpretation, which
was checked and completed through field work. This geomorphological
mapping has allowed us to analyze landform spatial and temporal
distribution. Landforms were differentiated according to the following
geomorphologic processes: structural, gravity, fluvial, glacial,
weathering and polygenetic.

Title: Mapping car ownership in Great Britain over four decades
Abstract:
This article describes a methodology for mapping the level of household
car ownership for the island of Great Britain, using data from five
population Censuses. The basic units of display are 'Tracts', which are
aggregations of local municipality electoral wards that were in place for
each of the three Censuses conducted in 1981, 1991 and 2001. In addition,
this article documents the utility of these Tracts to represent a
consistent geography across two additional Censuses, those of 1971 and
2011. This analysis enables a consistent and complete picture of changes
in car ownership over a 40-year period to be visualised as both
geographical maps and cartograms of Great Britain. The advantages and
disadvantages of each type of representation are discussed. The paper
finishes by providing evidence of a downward trend in car ownership in
central London and increasing spatial homogeneity in car ownership through
time.

Title: Glaciated valleys in Europe and western Asia
Abstract:
In recent years, remote sensing, morphometric analysis, and other
computational concepts and tools have invigorated the field of
geomorphological mapping. Automated interpretation of digital terrain data
based on impartial rules holds substantial promise for large dataset
processing and objective landscape classification. However, the
geomorphological realm presents tremendous complexity and challenges in
the translation of qualitative descriptions into geomorphometric
semantics. Here, the simple, conventional distinction of V-shaped fluvial
and U-shaped glacial valleys was analyzed quantitatively using multi-scale
curvature and a novel morphometric variable termed Difference of Minimum
Curvature (DMC). We used this automated terrain analysis approach to
produce a raster map at a scale of 1:6,000,000 showing the distribution of
glaciated valleys across Europe and western Asia. The data set has a cell
size of 3 arc seconds and consists of more than 40 billion grid cells.
Glaciated U-shaped valleys commonly associated with erosion by warm-based
glaciers are abundant in the alpine regions of mid Europe and western Asia
but also occur at the margins of mountain ice sheets in Scandinavia. The
high-level correspondence with field mapping and the fully transferable
semantics validate this approach for automated analysis of yet unexplored
terrain around the globe and qualify for potential applications on other
planetary bodies like Mars.

Title: Dominant soil map in 'Las Batuecas-Sierra De Francia' and 'Quilamas' nature parks (Central System, Salamanca, Spain)
Abstract:
To correctly and rationally plan human activities in fragile conservation
areas, an exhaustive study of the soil-forming factors (climate,
lithology, geomorphology, topography, hydrology and vegetation) including
the soil relationships, should be conducted. We analysed the geospatial
distributions of different soil types in the 'Las Batuecas - Sierra de
Francia' and 'Quilamas' natural areas using soil sampling and laboratory
analyses to determine the soil associations and dominant soil types and so
create toposequence maps. These maps were used to assess potential soil
uses and resources and to identify environmental problems from natural
and/or anthropogenic causes. The GIS techniques used in this study provide
georeferenced maps of forming factors and soil distribution that can be
used to create databases that include fact sheets and photographs of the
soil profiles. This soil information was exported in 'kmz' format to
geospatially visualise the different soil units in 3D virtual tours using
the Google Earth platform. This method of soil mapping allows a
multidisciplinary approach that utilises other thematic layers and
facilitates decision-making processes by the managers and directors of the
natural areas studied in this work.

Title: Ice streams in the Laurentide Ice Sheet: a new mapping inventory
Abstract:
Rapidly flowing ice streams dominate the drainage of continental ice
sheets and are a key component of their mass balance. Due to their
potential impact on sea level, their activity in the Antarctic and
Greenland Ice Sheets has undergone detailed scrutiny in recent decades.
However, these observations only cover a fraction of their 'life-span' and
the subglacial processes that facilitate their rapid flow are very
difficult to observe. To circumvent these problems, numerous workers have
highlighted the potential of investigating palaeo-ice streams tracks,
preserved in the landform and sedimentary record of former ice sheets. As
such, it is becoming increasingly important to know where and when
palaeo-ice streams operated. In this paper, we present a new map of ice
streams in the North American Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS; including the
Innuitian Ice Sheet), which was the largest of the ephemeral Pleistocene
ice sheets and where numerous ice streams have been identified. We compile
previously published evidence of ice stream activity and complement it
with new mapping to generate the most complete and consistent mapping
inventory to date. The map depicts close to three times as many ice
streams (117 in total) compared to previous inventories, and categorises
them according to the evidence they left behind, with some locations more
speculative than others. The map considerably refines our understanding of
LIS dynamics, but there is a clear requirement for improved dating of ice
stream activity.

Title: Mapping a pollution index for the transboundary Red River Valley, Asia, 2009-2011
Abstract:
A transboundary river is a river that flows through two or more countries.
Due to the international policies of the government in each country, it is
difficult to investigate the pollution conditions in a transboundary
watershed. In this study, pollution sources in the Red River Valley,
Southeast Asia were derived from Google Earth by visual interpretation.
Based on the derived pollution sources and a simple scoring system, a
pollution index map was produced, which provides useful information for
intergovernmental cooperation on the water environment in this
transboundary watershed. In addition, the method mentioned in this article
suggests an efficient and low-cost way to investigate pollution conditions
at large scale, which can also be applied to other transboundary
watersheds in the future.

Title: Extreme rainfall relationship in Mexico
Abstract:
Precipitation statistics are inherent to the design of water resource
systems by the prediction of two aspects of hydrological processes: the
extremes and the averages. Extreme rainfall with high temporal resolution
(i.e. an hour or less) is necessary for the design of urban drainage
systems, as urban areas are generally characterized by their fast
response. However, most weather stations only register daily rainfall. The
relationship between the hourly intensity of rain and the daily rain
intensity is called parameter K. Thus, if extreme daily rainfall data is
available, the parameter K allows the estimation of
extreme short-duration rainfall intensities. This study offers a map with
the regionalization of the relationship between the maximum intensities of
precipitation occurring over intervals 1 and 24 hours (parameter K) for
the whole country of Mexico, facilitating the description of the
geographical variability of precipitation. In this country a high spatial
variability of the parameter K was observed, according to
the large area studied.

Title: Heinabergsjökull and Skalafellsjökull, Iceland: active temperate piedmont lobe and outwash head glacial landsystem
Abstract:
A 1:15,000 scale map of the glacial geomorphology and surficial geology of
the Heinabergsjökull and Skalafellsjökull glacier forelands in southeast
Iceland depicts a landsystem imprint of actively receding temperate
glaciers in a mountain terrain with a high glacifluvial sediment yield.
The landsystem is characterised by the three diagnostic depositional
domains for active temperate glacier systems (marginal morainic;
subglacial; glacifluvial/glacilacustrine) together with site-specific
landform-sediment assemblages indicative of jökulhlaup drainage from
ice-dammed lakes. Other features are overridden moraines and fluted kame
terraces, indicative of ice-marginal and glacifluvial palimpsests
preserved beneath temperate glacier ice. A significant outwash head in
front of Heinabergsjökull records the long-term accumulation of proglacial
outwash and was responsible for a radical change in proglacial drainage
patterns (topographically unrestricted to restricted) once the glacier
snout had receded from the ice-contact face of the landform. The
Heinabergsjökull/ Skalafellsjökull foreland constitutes a modern analogue
for active temperate piedmont lobes associated with the construction of
large outwash heads fed by high glacifluvial sediment yields. This is one
of the most common glacial depositional scenarios associated with the more
restricted, mountain-based, average glaciation style during a typical cold
stage.

Title: Geological - structural outlines of the southern Madonie Mts. (Central northern Sicily)
Abstract:
Geological and structural surveys were undertaken in central-northern
Sicily along the southern slope of the Madonie Mts., a portion of the
Sicilian Fold and Thrust Belt. Collected data have allowed the compilation
of a new map of this region at 1:30,000 scale. The map is the result of a
classic field survey supported by a combined analysis of 1:33,000 aerial
photographs, 1:10,000 ortho-photos, and the use of a high-resolution
Digital Elevation Model.The cartographic product displays the distribution
of the distinct sedimentary successions and the geometric setting of the
major tectonic lineaments, providing further constraints on the geology of
the area. The mapped rocks mostly consist of Neogene syn-tectonic
sedimentary successions deposited within basins developed in a
SE-migrating piggy-back/foredeep system. Thrust-top deposits are floored
by a clayey substratum pertaining to a former oceanic domain.The tectonic
setting has been reconstructed through the mapping of structural
lineaments and compared to available seismic sections. The geometries and
orientation of the observed/measured faults and folds and the age of the
sediments involved, suggest that since Miocene times the area experienced
a multi-phased deformation with previously formed (middle Miocene) large
flat thrusts and associated folds, re-deformed by a younger (Upper Miocene
to Early Pliocene) and deep-seated thrust and folds system.Strike-slip
deformation affected the area after the Early Pliocene with the nucleation
of NW-SE-oriented right-lateral faults whose propagation produced vertical
axis rotations with a general re-orientation of previously formed
structures.

Title: Landslide inventory map of the upper Sinni River valley, Southern Italy
Abstract:
In this paper, we present a geomorphological landslide inventory map for
an intermountain catchment in the southern Italian Apennines. The study
area is seismically active, and it is characterized by high uplift rates
produced by Quaternary tectonics. A total of 531 landslides of different
types, relative age, and sizes, including some kilometer-scale relict
landslides were mapped through the visual interpretation of 1:33,000-scale
stereoscopic aerial photographs, and dedicated field surveys. Analysis of
the inventory map revealed that recent landslides consist chiefly of
reactivations of older landslides, and of the new landslides formed in
pre-existing landslide deposits, triggered primarily by intense rainfall
events, or prolonged rainfall periods. We expect that the inventory will
be used for the evaluation of landslide susceptibility and hazard in the
area, and to investigate the long-term geomorphological evolution of a
portion of the southern Apennines.

Title: Mass movements inventory map of the Rubbio stream catchment (Basilicata - South Italy)
Abstract:
In the Basilicata region (South Italy) slope movements, caused by soft
rocks, rapid tectonic uplift, earthquakes, and seasonally heavy
precipitation, constitute one of the major geologic hazards. For this
reason a detailed inventory map of mass movements has been created in a
test area of south-eastern Basilicata. The map was compiled from field
surveys and multi-temporal air photo interpretation. For each landslide,
the map depicts the state of activity and dominant type of slope movement.
The integration and analysis of the data obtained by using a geographic
information system has produced the mass movements inventory map at a
scale of 1:25,000.Mass movements are widespread and play a key role in the
landscape evolution of the study area. A total of 175 landslides were
recognized, occupying a surface area of 16.2 km-super-2, about 9% of the
whole basin of interest. The spatial distribution and type of mass
movements are mainly related to the lithology and structural features.
Field surveys coupled with interpretation of multi-temporal aerial photos
allowed us to distinguish between active (20.6%) and inactive (79.4%)
landslides. Mass movements, mapped on the basis of movement type, are
represented by slides, flows and complex landslides. The complex and slide
type movements are very common, and represent more than 86% of the
landslides mapped.

Title: Hydrolithology of the area between Tuscany, Latium and Umbria regions (Italy)
Abstract:
Hydrogeological research lacks a standard methodology for supporting the
management of groundwater resources in territory planning. The mapping of
geological units in terms of their hydrogeological properties (such as
permeability, effective infiltration, hydro-capacity) may provide a
propaedeutical tool for calibration and validation of regional scale
hydrogeological components (aquifer, aquiclude, aquitard). This work
presents a hydrolithological map based on analysis of the 1:100,000
official cartography (provided by the Italian Geological Survey). The
study area includes three distinct administrative regions (Tuscany, Latium
and Umbria) and is a part of the central Apennines (Italy), an orogenic
segment with distinctive tectono-stratigraphic sequences characterized by
different degrees of permeability. A methodological approach is described
that revises the geological information from the original cartography and
builds a multicriteria database. The results are schematized in the
attached map (at 1:100,000 scale) where the 'hydrolithological complex'
(i.e. complex grouping lithologies with genetic and tectonic affinities
and showing internal textural and compositional similarities that produce
a comparable behaviour regarding groundwater flow and storage) is used as
the key unit. Thematic maps illustrating permeability variation in the
area and 'macro-complexes' are also included. The information is presented
to outline the importance of revising, updating, and homogenizing
geological cartography for providing direct multiscalar analysis suitable
for territory planning.

Title: Capacity of photovoltaic power plants in the Czech Republic
Abstract:
Over the last five years several European countries have experienced a
rapid development of photovoltaic power plants. In the Czech Republic more
than 20,000 new photovoltaic power plants have been built with the total
nominal power capacity of 2100 MWp. The spatial distribution of these
installations is very uneven. Built-up areas are dominated by a large
number of small installations while large installations (over 1 MWp) are
usually located in agricultural areas. To express a spatial distribution
of these installations we have used a synthetic approach combining the
spatial density of installations with the power plant capacities. The
resulting map in the scale of 1:750,000 shows a continuous distribution of
the installed power capacity.

Title: Mapping uncertainty from multi-criteria analysis of land development suitability, the case of Howth, Dublin
Abstract:
This paper presents a method for determining and mapping suitable
locations for development using Multi Criteria Analysis and the Analytical
Hierarchy Process and considering uncertainties in the process. The method
is applied to the case study of Howth (Dublin), where development
suitability is assessed against specific protection and conservation areas
as well as ground water vulnerability. Uncertainty is incorporated using a
Monte Carlo simulation into the Analytical Hierarchy Process calculations
to determine criteria weightings. A map is derived, which includes, for
all locations, both site suitability for development and the level of
uncertainty attached to this suitability. The map combines a double
categorization of suitability and uncertainty. The method allows for
increased transparency in decision making regarding site suitability for
development, as well as increased confidence in decision making to allow
for reduced risk in terms of the potential impact of development.

Title: Map of the Diocese of Požega (Dioecesis Posegana)
Abstract:
The project is aimed at upgrading existing and outdated maps from the time
when the present-day area of the Diocese of Požega in Croatia was
under the Archdiocese of Zagreb. We could not find a single map of the
Diocese of Požega since its establishment in 1997. That is why in
2001 we began to create one at the Faculty of Geodesy. It has been
developed in stages and this work is still ongoing. The paper describes
how the new map was created, it explains its purpose and the motivation
behind the idea to create the first map of this diocese, and mentions
obstacles that had to be dealt with during the research of certain
specific thematic content. It also describes several working versions of
the map. The project on which the paper is based is unique because it
investigates sacral topics and facilities which have not yet been
identified or depicted cartographically. The authors have successfully
created a map which is built around sacral themes and emphasized
cartographic details relating to this diocese. The procedure, though
complicated due to the lack of available data, entailed collection and
analysis of commonplace data and depicts authors' exposure to the
difficulties of making and designing map.

Title: Unique grid cell identification of Croatian official map grids
Abstract:
The Unique Grid Cell Identification (UGCI) system was created using the
Croatian cartographic map grid system as a basis for development. A short
description of the Croatian map grid system is therefore provided.
Cartographic map nomenclature is used to uniquely identify map sheets;
e.g. grid cells. Nonetheless, because such nomenclature uses alpha-numeric
and special characters and complex coding/decoding systems, it is not well
suited for use with GIS, databases, internet services and other
Information and Communications Technologies applications. UGCI has been
developed to uniquely identify all spatial grid cells, no matter their
scale. It should enable easy connections with spatial grid cell identifier
systems of other Spatial Data Infrastructure communities, such as ecology,
geology, meteorology, etc. Easier identification and use of spatial grid
cells contributes to the interoperability of maps and other spatial data.
Map is cowering Croatian grid area in the scale 1:1 800,000. It is
representing grids scales from 1:250,000 to 1:5000.

Title: A map of astronomy in Europe
Abstract:
The Map of Astronomy in Europe has been designed to demonstrate how
diverse information about a specific topic can be put together and
presented in an attractive way in order to raise interest of society in
the topic - in this case astronomical observations. The map represents
information on several phenomena and objects related to astronomical
observations in Europe and have been compiled from data collected from
numerous publicly available sources during 2012-2013. The data were
collected, transformed and processed using different methods to create
geographic information on the visibility of solar eclipses and maximum
possible percentage of sunshine hours for the geographic extent of Europe.
Upon requests of amateur astronomers that made up the primary target
group, the map was complemented by astronomical observatories, planetaria,
astronomical clocks, meteorite craters and eventually by the most famous
UNESCO World Heritage sites related to ancient or modern astronomical
observations. Explanatory graphs, charts and lists of the objects were
added for better understanding of the map information. Data verification,
generalization and filtering, classification of the objects, building the
GIS database, analysis of data, and cartographic visualization was
performed at the Centre for Cartography at Vilnius University. Special
attention was given to map design with an attempt to represent both very
modern and historical objects in a consistent manner. The reference scale
of the printed map is 1:8,000,000. It contains supplementary maps at scale
1:40,000,000 and 1:35,000,000. The size of the map image is 53×63
cm.

Title: Who owns paradise? Using web mapping to enhance a geography course exercise about tropical forest conservation
Abstract:
Here we present Tambopata: Who Owns Paradise?, a
map-centric, multimedia website created to enrich an educational role
playing exercise about biodiversity, conservation, and development in the
Amazon www.geography.wisc.edu/tambopata). The exercise assigns
students a character from the Tambopata region of the Peruvian Amazon, and
asks them to evaluate four proposed zoning plans from their assigned
perspective. Using principles of web cartography, we designed the four
proposal maps to communicate complex information and allow for increased
exploration. Compared to the previously used static maps, the website
increases opportunities for student engagement with the material,
incorporates multimedia, and clarifies spatial relationships and land use
patterns. The website is available publicly and can be integrated freely
into other university and high school courses.

Title: Geomorphology of the Sierra de Atapuerca and the Middle Arlanzón Valley (Burgos, Spain)
Abstract:
The Sierra de Atapuerca is Mesozoic inlier composed of an anticlinal ridge
belonging to the NW extreme of the Iberian Chain (North-Central Spain,
Burgos). In this work, we present a geomorphological map of this area,
developed using fieldwork, a 5 m resolution digital elevation model,
aerial photographs and geological maps. The map covers 207 km-super-2,
synthesizing the geodynamic evolution of this area at 1:25,000 scale,
where the geological and geomorphological characteristics of the Sierra de
Atapuerca and the Middle Arlanzón Valley have facilitated the formation
and preservation of archaeo-palaeoanthropological sites for over one
million years. The morphogenesis of this region is determined by
polygenetic landform development during the Neogene, with four planation
surfaces preserved as plateaus in the landscape. During the Quaternary the
incision of exoreic fluvial valleys dominated, forming a downcutting
staircase model, where a sequence of 14 strath terraces dating from the
Early Pleistocene developed. Other landforms in the area include
landslides, cones, semi-endoreic areas, colluvial deposits and karstic
landforms.

Title: Total natural radioactivity, Veneto (Italy)
Abstract:
We present the first detailed map of the terrestrial natural radioactivity
of the Veneto Region (Italy), a 18,264 km-super-2 densely populated area,
previously investigated through indoor radon surveys. The activity
concentration in 709 representative samples of the main Alpine
lithostratigraphic units was measured by using a high-purity germanium
(HPGe) Gamma-ray spectrometer to characterize the radioactivity content of
the 41 cartographic units of the Veneto Lithostratigraphic map at
1:250,000 scale. An area accounting for 61% of the territory, comprising
alluvial plains was investigated through airborne Gamma-ray measurements.
The large-volume NaI detectors were mounted on an ultralight aircraft,
flying a 7000 km line. The data were interpolated using Ordinary Kriging,
and a distribution model of the radioactivity content was produced. The
result of the data analysis is a total natural radioactivity map of Veneto
at 1:250,000 scale in which the activity concentration of the territory is
visualized in seven classes, according to the percentile values calculated
on the total dataset of measurements.

Title: Geology of Ammouliani Island (Northern Greece) - implications for the tectono-magmatic evolution of the Serbo-Macedonian Massif
Abstract:
Ammouliani Island is located in Northern Greece with its exposed rocks
belonging to the Serbo-Macedonian Massif of the Hellenic hinterland. Its
geology is of great importance because it lies in an area where a striking
change in trend of the orogenic fabric from NW-SE to ENE-WSW occurs. For
this purpose, a geological map at a scale of 1:10,000 is presented based
upon detailed fieldwork and the interpretation of satellite imagery. In
addition, special interest has been paid to the tectonic elements of the
map units. This detailed mapping results in the definition of a new unit,
the Ammouliani Unit, which is placed between the underlying Kerdilion and
the overlying Vertiskos Unit of the Serbo-Macedonian Massif. The main
features of the Ammouliani Unit are the predominance of leucosomes and the
intense migmatization and strong shearing. Three main folding events (F1,
F2 and F3) have been defined in the exposed rocks of the island with the
first related to intense migmatization and shearing, whereas the last two
are progressive to each other and are related to Mesozoic orogenic
processes. In addition, NE-ENE striking shear zones were observed with the
Ammouliani granite placed parallel to these. The bending of the orogenic
fabric from NW-SE to ENE-WSW is younger than the F2 and F3 folding events
and is related to Tertiary orogenic (tectono-magmatic) processes due to
the convergence between Apulia and Eurasia and the ongoing retreat of the
Hellenic subduction zone.

Title: Bedforms on the northwest Irish Shelf: indication of modern active sediment transport and over printing of paleo-glacial sedimentary deposits
Abstract:
Recent mapping programmes in Irish territorial waters, such as the Irish
National Seabed Survey and the Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable
Development of Ireland's Marine Resource programme, have generated high
resolution multibeam bathymetry, backscatter and sediment sample datasets
at an unprecedented resolution and coverage. Building upon previous
mapping of glacial landforms on the northwest Irish continental shelf, a
1:225,000 scale map identifying contemporary bedforms has been produced
between 54°40′N/56°10′N and
10°2′W/6°45′W. The analysis of bathymetric derivatives
and backscatter interpretation has enabled the classification of several
types of depositional feature including six sediment wave assemblages.
Erosional features have also been identified across the shelf in the form
of surface sediment lineations, as well as more spatially confined
formations such as furrows. Based on wave asymmetry, sedimentary
composition and orientation, in agreement with published modelled
hydrodynamic conditions, these bedforms are assumed to be contemporary
features. Data interpretation, particularly of backscatter imagery reveals
that these sediments mask the acoustic signatures of an underlying glacial
architecture and may alter their apparent morphology due to burying.

Title: Glaciers and equilibrium line altitudes of the eastern Nyainqêntanglha Range, SE Tibet
Abstract:
A set of maps that illustrate the key results of a study on glaciers and
late Holocene glacier change in the eastern Nyainqêntanglha Range,
southeastern Tibet, is presented. The cartographic challenge was to
present this information in a way that focuses on the most important
findings but retains as much detail as possible. The layout is based on
two main maps showing two different sets of information for the same area;
one map of glacier types and distribution and one map of calculated
equilibrium line altitudes (ELA). Additionally, two inset maps provide a
regional topographic overview and information on ELA change since the
Little Ice Age maximum glacier advance. Through this approach, the viewer
is able to combine the different sets of information individually for
different parts of the study area. Insights into the complex couplings of
climate, relief, and glaciers can thus be obtained. The maps reveal
heterogeneous spatial patterns of glacier and ELA distributions. These
reflect the interplay of the high-mountain topography and the primary
moisture sources, the Indian Summer Monsoon and the East Asian Summer
Monsoon. Specifically, luv-lee effects and the channeling of monsoonal air
masses through the valley system can be observed at catchment to regional
scales. The patterns of ELA change since the Little Ice Age indicate that
glacier sensitivity to climate change is decreasing toward regions with
increasingly continental climate in the eastern Nyainqêntanglha
Range.

Title: Mapping with strings attached: Kite aerial photography of Durai Island, Anambas Islands, Indonesia
Abstract:
A 1:2,000 scale orthophoto map of the southern coast of Durai Island,
Indonesia, was created using kite aerial photography and computer vision
software. Photographs were taken using a consumer-grade digital camera
suspended from the line of a kite that was towed by boat along Durai's
coastline. Three hundred and fifty-seven aerial photographs were combined
into a mosaic, orthorectified and georeferenced using Agisoft PhotoScan
software with ground control points collected via a GPS field survey. The
map was created in conjunction with underwater ecological surveys of the
coral reefs surrounding the island, and it supports ongoing monitoring and
educational outreach efforts. Kite aerial photography provides a low-cost,
portable, and technologically straightforward means of collecting
large-scale aerial imagery in situations where a conventional,
aircraft-based photographic survey is not practical.

chain, North Italy). Although a less spatially frequent landslide typology
within the region, rock falls represent severe threats to buildings, roads
and persons due to their high propagation velocity. This paper presents an
extract of the Emilia-Romagna regional map of the rock fall runout areas
at a scale of 1:25,000. The analysis of rock fall runout areas was based
upon a three-dimensional morphological method (TDM). The zone presented in
the http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2014.956154 Main
Map encompasses the area surrounding Mount Cimone, in the
Emilia-Romagna Region. The proposed regional map of rockfall runout is
noteworthy for planning actions and strategies aimed at the prevention and
reduction of landslide risk at a regional scale.

Title: Weathering grade and geotectonics of the western-central Mucone River basin (Calabria, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper illustrates the compilation of an engineering geological map
based on structural architecture and weathering grade of crystalline rocks
occurring in the central-western portions of the Mucone River basin (Sila
Massif, Calabria, Italy). The map, drawn at 1:10,000 scale and covering an
area of about 100 km-super-2, was compiled by combining new geological and
structural data with the results of a weathering-grade field survey. Five
weathering classes, each characterized by comparable mechanical behaviour,
have been mapped, from the class VI (residual and colluvial soils) to
class II (slightly weathered rock). Both qualitative and semi-quantitative
criteria (e.g. rock colour, discolouration processes, samples broken by
hand and hammer, sound of the rock when it is struck by a geological
hammer, Schmidt Hammer tests) were used to distinguish and map
weathering-grade classes at outcrop scale.The thematic map presented in
this paper aims to provide a useful tool for land planning policy, for the
evaluation of geological and geotechnical hazard and for environmental and
engineering perspectives of land use.

Title: Thickness distribution of quaternary deposits in the formerly glaciated part of the East European plain
Abstract:
A thickness map of Quaternary deposits in the south-eastern sector of the
last Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) and in areas of Middle Pleistocene
Moscow (Warthe) and the Dniepr (Drente) stages of the Late Saalian
glaciation on the East European Plain is presented
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2014.954646 Main
Map. The map of the thickness and related statistics of the
Quaternary deposits were calculated from the difference between the
current digital terrain model and the bedrock surface topography model.
The distribution of Quaternary deposits shows that 29% of the mapped
territory has sediments less than 25 m thick, 16% more than 100 m and 1.2%
more than 200 m. Within the SIS area, the thickness of sediments in the
southern sector exceeds threefold the sediment thickness in the eastern
flank. This difference is attributed to the bedrock depression in the
south-east of the Baltic Syneclise rather than to glacial dynamics. The
calculated average thickness of the sediments within the SIS area is ca 50
m, in the formerly glaciated area outside the LGM it is ca 61 m and
outside the glaciated area ca 14 m. Our study confirms that, in formerly
glaciated areas, the spatial distribution of sediments did amplify the
differences in glacial bed topography with the exception of the southern
and eastern flanks of the Moscow glaciation area where exceptionally thick
Quaternary deposits have inverted bedrock depressions into elevated areas
in recent terrain. We suggest that the map presented improves existing
knowledge of this area by adding detail and thus contributing to the
on-going development of numerical ice-sheet models.

Title: Spatial risk assessment of hydrological extremities: Inland excess water hazard, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, Hungary
Abstract:
Inland excess water hazard was regionalized and digitally mapped using
auxiliary spatial environmental information for a county in Eastern
Hungary. Quantified parameters representing the effect of soil, geology,
groundwater, land use and hydrometeorology on the formulation of inland
excess water were defined and spatially explicitly derived. The complex
role of relief was characterized using multiple derivatives computed from
a DEM. Legacy maps displaying inland excess water events were used as a
reference dataset. Regression kriging was applied for spatial inference
with the correlation between environmental factors and inundation
determined using multiple linear regressions. A stochastic factor derived
through kriging the residual was added to the regression results, thus
producing the final inundation hazard map. This may be of use for numerous
land-related activities.

Title: Geology and Jurassic paleogeography of the Mt. Primo-Mt. Castel Santa Maria ridge and neighbouring areas (Northern Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents the results of a geological mapping project across the
Mt. Primo ridge and neighbouring areas (Umbria-Marche Domain - Northern
Apennines), where a thick Meso-Cenozoic carbonate succession is exposed. A
geological map on the 1:15,000 scale, illustrates the main stratigraphic,
paleogeographic and structural features of the area. The geometries of
Jurassic stratigraphic units, were mainly controlled by the complex
submarine topography resulting from an Early Jurassic extensional phase.
The three-dimensional distribution of Jurassic rocks in turn conditioned
the structural evolution of this part of the Apennines during the chain
building phase.

Title: E-book atlases for tablet computers: the Atlas of the Columbia River Basin
Abstract:
More e-books than traditional paper books are sold today, and tablet
computers have become ubiquitous in recent years. Digital cartographic
atlases have replaced traditional paper atlases, but cartographers have
not yet fully embraced the potential of multi-touch tablet computers, such
as the iPad. This article explores the characteristics of e-book atlases,
which are positioned between traditional printed atlases and digital atlas
information systems. We document available hardware and software for
creating interactive maps and atlases for tablet computers, and illustrate
the steps in building an interactive e-book atlas using the Atlas of the
Columbia River Basin as an example.

Title: An alternative method to constructing time cartograms for the visual representation of scheduled movement data
Abstract:
In a cartogram, the map elements are purposely modified with respect to an
attribute. A time cartogram is a type of cartogram in which the
geographic-distance between locations is replaced by a time-related
attribute such as travelling-time, deforming the geography accordingly.
This study concentrates on centred time cartograms that visualize
travelling-times from a fixed starting location to other locations in the
region. Several methods to construct time cartograms have been proposed,
however these methods are not entirely satisfactory. In particular, none
of them describes how to deform both the network and the map's boundaries
based on travelling-times, which is necessary to maintain recognizability.
In many cases, homeomorphism and topology are not maintained. The
resultant maps from such methods are highly deformed and are difficult to
read. Some of these methods are computationally demanding, while the
procedures of others are not fully described. We present a method to
construct time cartograms for the visual representation of scheduled
movement data using the Dutch railways network as a case study. The method
was developed by approaching the construction of time cartograms as a
two-step process. In the first step, vector calculus is used to displace
the train stations according to travelling-times from a fixed starting
station. In the second step, moving-least-squares based affine deformation
is applied to deform the railroads and the map's boundaries accordingly.
To enhance understanding, concentric circles are drawn from the starting
station to depict travelling-times. The method maintains homeomorphism and
topology and yields time cartograms that are easily recognizable.

Title: Quaternary geology of the Middle Aterno Valley, 2009 L'Aquila earthquake area (Abruzzi Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
We present a new 1:25,000-scale geological map of the Middle Aterno Valley
basin, the epicenter of the 2009 L'Aquila MW 6.1 earthquake.
This earthquake highlighted the incomplete understanding of the geology of
the area, in particular the Quaternary continental deposits and active
tectonics, which caused the Paganica fault system to be ignored by
researchers.The map, utilizing airborne LiDAR analysis and traditional
field survey approaches, is the first example in Italy (and one of the few
in Europe) that integrates high-resolution topography in active tectonic
studies. With unprecedented detail and precision on the spatial
distribution of deposits, the map of the geomorphic and tectonic features
provides new insight for the reconstruction of the Quaternary basin
evolution and estimation of long-term deformation rates for the the
Paganica fault system. Detailed fault mapping of Quaternary deposits
represents an essential input for seismic hazard assessment and surface
faulting hazard evaluation.

Title: Geomorphology map of the marine and transitional terraces and raised shorelines of the Península Juan Mazía, Tierra Del Fuego. Straits of Magellan - Chile
Abstract:
This manuscript presents a detailed map (1:50,000) of the geomorphology of
the marine and transitional terraces and raised shorelines linked to
Holocene-Pleistocene (?) glacio-eustatic variations in Península Juan
Mazía situated on the Segunda Angostura in the western area of the Straits
of Magellan. The http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2014.970592 Main
Map, centered on approximately 52° 40' and 52°60', was
compiled through geomorphological survey in the field integrated with
interpretation of aerial photographs and remote-sensing imagery. The
survey has allowed mapping of a regular sequence of terraces and raised
shorelines represented mainly by marine, and partially by transitional
terraced deposits, located in four orders at the respective elevations of
18÷25 m, 6÷11 m, 3÷5 m and 1÷2 m above mean sea level.
The http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2014.970592 Main
Map also provides other features such as landforms and
deposits, due to littoral, running water, glacial and wind processes.

Title: Bioclimate map of Sardinia (Italy)
Abstract:
Bioclimatology deals with the interrelation between climate and living
organisms, in particular, plants and plant communities, considering the
main climate variables that are relevant for species distribution. In this
context spatial interpolation of monthly temperature and precipitation
data using 203 rain gauges and 68 temperature gauges for Sardinia (Italy)
was undertaken. As interpolation technique, we used regression kriging
which combines multiple linear regression (MLR) with ordinary kriging of
the residuals. MLR procedures include as independent variables: altitude,
latitude, longitude, coast distance and a topographic factor of relative
elevation. Elevation data were obtained from digital elevation model at 40
m resolution. Following the approach of the Worldwide Bioclimatic
Classification System, a bioclimatic diagnosis of the entire territory was
derived using map algebra calculations of the bioclimatic indices proposed
by Rivas-Martínez et al. [(2011). Worldwide Bioclimatic classification
system. Global Geobotany, 1, 1-638]. Two
macrobioclimates (Mediterranean pluviseasonal oceanic and Temperate
oceanic), one macrobioclimatic variant (Submediterranean), and four
classes of continentality (from weak semihyperoceanic to weak
semicontinental), eight thermotypic horizons (from lower
thermomediterranean to upper supratemperate) and seven ombrotypic horizons
(from lower dry to lower hyperhumid) were identified, resulting in a
combination of 43 isobioclimates. The resulting map represents a useful
environmental stratum, for regional planning, ecological modeling and
biodiversity conservation.

Title: Manual mapping of drumlins in synthetic landscapes to assess operator effectiveness
Abstract:
Mapped topographic features are important for understanding processes that
sculpt the Earth's surface. This paper presents maps that are the primary
product of an exercise that brought together 27 researchers with an
interest in landform mapping wherein the efficacy and causes of variation
in mapping were tested using novel synthetic DEMs containing drumlins. The
variation between interpreters (e.g. mapping philosophy, experience) and
across the study region (e.g. woodland prevalence) opens these factors up
to assessment. A priori known answers in the synthetics
increase the number and strength of conclusions that may be drawn with
respect to a traditional comparative study. Initial results suggest that
overall detection rates are relatively low (34-40%), but reliability of
mapping is higher (72-86%). The maps form a reference dataset.

Title: Shallow landslides triggered by consecutive rainfall events at Catanzaro strait (Calabria-Southern Italy)
Abstract:
This paper describes the activities conducted for the development of a
thematic map of shallow landslides (and other landforms) resulting from by
consecutive rainfall events during the fall-winter seasons of 2008/2009
and 2009/2010 in the Catanzaro Strait (Central Calabria, South Italy). The
methodology is based on the interpretation of Google Earth high-resolution
satellite images (post-event images are dated 19th March 2010), followed
by processing and management of the collected data through a geographic
information system.The inventory covers a wide area (692 km-super-2) and
includes 3483 shallow landslides and many other geomorphological features
(zones of incipient shallow landslides and areas affected by soil erosion)
related to the 2008-2010 rainfall events.The map produced may provide
useful data to define shallow landslide events, develop landscape
evolution models and characterise active geomorphic processes.
Furthermore, the map may also be used as a basic tool to produce landslide
or erosion susceptibility maps, which can be used for land-use planning
strategies and landslide hazard analyses.

Title: Quantitative assessment of the sensitivity to desertification in the Bradano River basin (Basilicata, southern Italy)
Abstract:
Desertification is a complex environmental phenomenon that affects many
regions worldwide, including the Mediterranean area. Its effects,
primarily resulting from climate variations and also influenced by
human-induced changes, impact upon potential regional progress due to
significant economic losses, social problems and ecological damage. The
aim of this study was the identification of sensitive areas to
desertification at watershed scale, in the Bradano River basin
(Basilicata, southern Italy). The analysis was carried out by means of the
model developed within the European project MEDALUS (MEditerranean
Desertification And Land USe), which identifies prone areas to
desertification through the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) index.
The model parameters were implemented and processed using a GIS-based
approach to evaluate climate, soil, vegetation and management system
quality factors, which represent the input for the ESAs assessment. The
results indicate that 35% of the study area is highly sensitive to
desertification, 49% of the study area has moderate sensitivity to
desertification, 12% has low sensitivity and only 4% is non-sensitive to
desertification.

Title: Flood hazard, Santa Cruz do Bispo Sector, Leça River, Portugal: a methodological contribution to improve land use planning
Abstract:
This paper presents a 1:4000 scale flood hazard map, covering 4,2
km-super-2 of a sector belonging to the Leça river watershed (Portugal),
named the Santa Cruz do Bispo sector. The map is the outcome of the
combination of several hydrodynamic parameters - velocity, water column
height and flood-prone - defined for three return periods (T10, T50,
T100), which were calculated.An intensity-probability matrix supports the
hazard map which combines the modelling results as a base layer to
classify flood hazard along the alluvial plain and to identify exposed
elements located inside the T100 prone-flood area, notably roads, bridges
and buildings. The hazard map is an important document to support land
planning, assisting the definition of correct land use and occupation
restrictions that should be applied along this floodplain.

Title: Geomorphological Map of the Tadrart Acacus Massif and the Erg Uan Kasa (Libyan Central Sahara)
Abstract:
Here we present a geomorphological map of the Tadrart Acacus Massif and
Erg Uan Kasa (SW Libya, central Sahara). The geomorphological mapping of
the area was carried out by means of satellite imagery analysis followed
by detailed control of units in the field. The Tadrart Acacus is a
sandstone massif delimited to the West by a high scarp and cut by a
dendritic fossil drainage network of W-E-oriented wadis. The massif has
been shaped since the Tertiary by etchplanation and solutional processes;
the latter is demonstrated by the ruiniform landscape and the high number
of caves and rock shelters that dot the vertical cliffs of the wadis. To
the East, the Tadrart Acacus merges below a complex system of sand ridges
that form the Erg Uan Kasa. The large interdune corridors of the sand sea
are dotted by lake sediments, which formed during the Pleistocene
interglacials and the African Humid Period of the Holocene, when
piezometric lakes were sustained by intense monsoonal rainfall.
Geomorphological investigation demonstrates that the extant landscape
originated thanks to the overlap of surface processes triggered by
divergent (humid/arid) environmental conditions.

Title: Urban fragmentation map of the Chamberí district in Madrid
Abstract:
High levels of mobility have given rise to land-use patterns that are
difficult to navigate for non-motorised transport users. Fragmentation in
a transport system can be considered as a lack of connectivity (or
permeability), as infrastructures reduce the connectivity between places.
Fragmentation has been extensively studied in landscape ecology, and can
be understood as a loss of connectivity. Connectivity is defined as the
degree of permissiveness offered by the landscape for the displacement of
organisms, energy flows and dispersive movements. This article presents a
map of urban fragmentation for pedestrians using a habitat fragmentation
indicator. It represents difficulty for pedestrian mobility as a function
the of the accumulative cost distance over a cost surface under the
current motor traffic-oriented street/mobility layout. The map is
developed for the Chamberí district in Madrid (Spain). The process
consists of first developing the resistance matrix of the territory
database. The resistance value is the time taken to travel through the
streets. The street axis network is converted into pavements, as this is
the part of the street used by pedestrians, including pedestrian crossings
and traffic lights. The resistance value -travel time - is calculated,
including waiting time. Once the resistance matrix has been created, GIS
functions are used to calculate the least accumulative cost distance for
each origin to a set of attractive locations/destinations for pedestrians.

Title: Illegal land use risk assessment of Shenzhen City, China
Abstract:
In the eastern coastal cities of China, the need for supervision of
illegal land use is urgent requiring new ways to promptly identify and put
a stop to the practice. In this paper, we present a practical example
through the generation of thematic maps for illegal land use risk
assessment in Shenzhen city with the assistance of GIS. Thematic maps are
useful in relation to the following points. First, they could be a
template for generating illegal land use risk assessment maps. Second,
illegal land use risk assessment maps indicate the different risk levels
of each community, which allows for more effective illegal land use
supervision to protect the cultivated and ecological land. Third, with the
assistance of GIS, the process of spatial analysis and mapping becomes
more efficient as a tool in this supervision.

Title: Geology of the late Miocene south-eastern Volterra Basin (Northern Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
We present a 1:10,000 scale geological map for the south-eastern sector of
the Volterra Basin (Northern Apennines, Italy), together with supporting
stratigraphic-structural data. The Volterra Basin consists of a major
structural depression within the Northern Apennines hinterland,
NNW-SSE-oriented and filled with more than 2000 m of late
Miocene-Quaternary deposits. Its south-eastern sector is classically
considered as a type area for late Tortonian non-marine strata, here
mapped and refined in terms of internal stratigraphy adopting a scheme of
depositional and lithostratigraphic units. Stratigraphic assessments
helped in redefining the character of the lower boundary of the non-marine
succession, as well as in mapping a newly recognized angular unconformity.
Deformation structures affecting the basin fill include blind normal
faults rooted to a deep detachment, outcrop-scale transtensional faults
and clusters of gentle folds. Faults and folds appear to be kinematically
linked. Our structural observations largely agree with those present in
the literature, supporting a model of post-orogenic crustal stretching.

Title: High-resolution forest mapping for behavioural studies in the Nature Reserve 'Les Nouragues', French Guiana
Abstract:
For animals with spatially complex behaviours at relatively small scales,
the resolution of a global positioning system (GPS) receiver location is
often below the resolution needed to correctly map animals' spatial
behaviour. Natural conditions such as canopy cover, canyons or clouds can
further degrade GPS receiver reception. Here we present a detailed,
high-resolution map of a 4.6 ha Neotropical river island and a 8.3 ha
mainland plot with the location of every tree >5 cm DBH and all structures
on the forest floor, which are relevant to our study species, the
territorial frog Allobates femoralis (Dendrobatidae). The
map was derived using distance- and compass-based survey techniques,
rooted on dGPS reference points, and incorporates altitudinal information
based on a LiDAR survey of the area.

Title: Ring maps applied to hydrogeological and environmental studies in alluvial aquifers, central Italy
Abstract:
Analysis of hydrogeological data of aquifers requires assessment of
multiple variables and this is difficult to visualise in a single map with
commonly used techniques. Ring maps are presented in this paper as a
useful option to overcome this limitation.Four alluvial aquifers from
Central Italy were assessed and are presented as case studies, evaluating
the hydrogeological setting, the groundwater chemistry and the
distribution of representative contaminants (Boron, Iron, Manganese and
Nitrates). The final result is a graphical representation showing the ring
maps, which simultaneously depict 12 numerical variables and two other
variables: the geographical position and the main lithological properties
of the aquifers.The research indicates that coastal alluvial aquifers show
higher contamination when compared to the intramontane alluvial aquifers.
Boron is exclusively present in the coastal alluvial aquifers where
maximum concentrations are associated with the uprising of deeper saline
groundwater with a chloride-sodium chemistry. Iron and manganese are
generally associated and their presence is inversely correlated to that of
nitrates. The presence of Nitrates is less common in the intramontane
aquifers.The ring maps presented in this paper have been effectively used
as a geovisualisation tool for multivariate hydrogeological and
environmental data. The technique simultaneously and clearly shows several
variables in one single graphical representation.

Title: Remapping of depth of e-log markers between Neogene basement and Lower/Upper Pannonian border in the Bjelovar Subdepression
Abstract:
Within the Croatian part of the Pannonian Basin System, there are several
depressions and subdepressions. A geostatistical analysis was performed in
the Bjelovar Subdepression, which is part of the larger Drava Depression.
Data for the analysis were obtained from structural maps of the
subdepression, previously made by hand interpolation. Square grid cells (2
× 2 km) were laid over the maps. The analysis of cell data included
a sufficient number of data (>700 per map) and the semivariogram analyses
after which experimental and theoretical semivariograms were made.
Consequently a new map set was interpolated by the Ordinary Kriging
technique including the pre-Neogene palaeorelief border ('Tg') and e-log
markers ('Rs7' and 'Rs5'). New maps were subsequently compared with the
older, hand-interpolated maps. It was shown that the method of
transferring non-computer into computer interpolated maps via/using an
artificial, regular grid of point data is an effective way of 'digitizing'
older paper-based maps, preserving almost all of the regional information.

Title: Neighborhood physical disorder in New York City
Abstract:
Neighborhood physical disorder, or the deterioration of urban
environments, is associated with negative mental and physical health
outcomes. Eleven trained raters used CANVAS, a web-based system for
conducting reliable virtual street audits, to collect data on nine
indicators of physical disorder using Google Street View imagery of 532
block faces in New York City, New York, USA. We combined the block face
indicator data into a disorder scale using item response theory;
indicators ranged in severity from presence of litter, a weak indicator of
disorder, to abandoned cars, a strong indicator. Using this scale, we
estimated disorder at the center point of each sampled block. We then used
ordinary kriging to interpolate estimates of disorder levels throughout
the city. The resulting map condenses a complex estimation process into an
interpretable visualization of the spatial distribution of physical
disorder in New York City.

Title: Geology and sedimentary facies of the Pliocene succession of the Baronia Mountains (Ariano Basin, southern Italy)
Abstract:
An up to 1500 m-thick clastic succession, the late Zanclean Baronia
Synthem, has been analysed in detail in the Ariano wedge-top Basin
(southern Apennine, Italy). In the Baronia Mountains the studied sediments
are well exposed and laterally mappable due to young uplift and exhumation
and rest unconformably on a complexly deformed pre-Pliocene substratum
formed by Triassic to Miocene allochthonous units. The Baronia Synthem has
been resolved into seven facies associations that are representative of
distinct fluvial, deltaic, nearshore and offshore depositional
environments and can be grouped into lowstand, transgressive, and
highstand systems tracts. Using an integrated approach comprising original
geological field mapping at 1:10,000 scale, conventional sedimentary
facies analysis and a sequence stratigraphic approach, this paper provides
a detailed description and interpretation of facies associations and new
insights on the stratigraphic architecture and the geological history of
this portion of the basin fill.

Title: Morphology of Lipari offshore (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)
Abstract:
High-resolution multibeam bathymetry was recently collected around Lipari,
the largest and most densely populated island of the Aeolian Archipelago
(Southern Tyrrhenian Sea). The data were acquired within the context of
marine geological studies performed in the area over the last 10 years. We
present the first detailed morphological map of the Lipari offshore at
1:100,000 scale http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2014.980858 Main
Map. A rugged morphology characterizes the submarine portions
of Lipari volcano, reflecting both volcanic and erosive-depositional
processes. The volcanic features include cones, lava flows and bedrock
outcrops. Erosive-depositional features include an insular shelf topped by
submarine depositional terraces related to Late-Quaternary sea-level
fluctuations, as well as landslide scars, channelized features, fan-shaped
deposits and wavy bedforms. The different distribution of volcanic and
erosive-depositional features on the various sectors of Lipari is mainly
related to the older age of the western flank with respect to the eastern
one. The map also provides insights for a first marine geohazard
assessment of this active volcanic area.

detailed classification of the Maltese coastline based on the
identification and definition of specific coastal geomorphotypes. The
results of field surveys, supported by air-photo interpretation, have led
to the production of a coastal geomorphological map at 1:30,000 scale
which outlines the processes and related deposits and landforms. The
latter are the result of the complex interplay of structural,
gravitational, coastal and karst processes. Moreover, radiocarbon dates of
marine organisms encrusted on boulders mapped along the NE coast are
presented.

Title: Geology of the Dhaulagiri-Annapurna-Manaslu Himalaya, Western Region, Nepal. 1:200,000
Abstract:
Geological mapping of mountains belts is fundamental to understanding
their structure and evolution. Here, a 1:200,000 scale geological map of
the central Himalaya of Western Region, Nepal is presented. This map
represents a compilation of previously published maps, integrated with new
geological field data. The wide spatial coverage of the map and the
accompanying cross sections reveal the detailed structure of the
Dhaulagiri-Annapurna-Manaslu Himalaya. The addition of modern topographic
and infrastructure data makes this map suitable for navigation through the
region.

Title: Physiography of the Sicilian region (1:250,000 scale)
Abstract:
Physiographic maps summarize and group the landforms of a territory into
homogeneous areas in terms of kind and intensity of the main
geomorphological process. These maps are often produced at semi-detailed
scales, while examples at the regional scale are much less common.
However, because the region is the main administrative level in Europe,
physiographic maps can be very useful for land planning in many fields,
such as ecological studies, risk maps, and soil mapping. This work
presents a methodological example of a regional physiographic map,
compiled at a 1:250,000 scale, representing the whole Sicilian region, the
largest of the Mediterranean islands. The physiographic units were
classified according to the geomorphological processes that were
identified by stereo-interpretation of aerial photographs. In addition,
information from other published maps, representing geomorphological
landforms, eolian deposits, anthropic terraced slopes, and landslide were
used to improve the accuracy and reliability of the map.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Altai and Western Sayan Mountains, Central Asia
Abstract:
In this article, we present a map of the glacial geomorphology of the
Altai and Western Sayan Mountains, covering an area of almost 600,000
km-super-2. Although numerous studies provide evidence for restricted
Pleistocene glaciations in this area, others have hypothesized the past
existence of an extensive ice sheet. To provide a framework for accurate
glacial reconstructions of the Altai and Western Sayan Mountains, we
present a map at a scale of 1:1,000,000 based on a mapping from 30 m
resolution ASTER DEM and 15 m/30 m resolution Landsat ETM+ satellite
imagery. Four landform classes have been mapped: marginal moraines,
glacial lineations, hummocky terrain, and glacial valleys. Our mapping
reveals an abundance of glacial erosional and depositional landforms. The
distribution of these glacial landforms indicates that the Altai and
Western Sayan Mountains have experienced predominantly alpine-style
glaciations, with some small ice caps centred on the higher mountain
peaks. Large marginal moraine complexes mark glacial advances in
intermontane basins. By tracing the outer limits of present-day glaciers,
glacial valleys, and moraines, we estimate that the past glacier coverage
have totalled to 65,000 km-super-2 (10.9% of the mapped area), whereas
present-day glacier coverage totals only 1300 km-super-2 (0.2% of the
mapped area). This demonstrates the usefulness of remote sensing
techniques for mapping the glacial geomorphology in remote mountain areas
and for quantifying the past glacier dimensions. The glacial
geomorphological map presented here will be used for further detailed
reconstructions of the paleoglaciology and paleoclimate of the region.

Title: Evolution of the Gelasian (Pleistocene) slope turbidite systems of southern Marche (Peri-Adriatic basin, central Italy)
Abstract:
Examples of slope channels and canyons being diverted by structurally
related sea-floor topography are commonly found both on the modern seabed
and in the subsurface, in deep-water fold and thrust belts but their
depositional histories have rarely been documented using examples from
outcrop. The synthesis of outcrop (original geological field mapping at
1:10,000 scale) and subsurface data sets from the early Pleistocene
stratigraphic succession of the Peri-Adriatic basin provides a window into
the overall evolutionary pattern of large intraslope turbidite systems
that, during the Gelasian (2.58-1.80 Ma), shed Apennine-derived clastic
sediments into the adjacent deep-water basin. Trends from mapping and
paleocurrent indicators converge to indicate that the sea-floor
bathymetric expression of a thrust-related anticline, the north-trending
Jesi-Nereto-Zaccheo structure, likely influenced the downslope transport
direction of gravity flows and sediment dispersal pattern. During early
and middle Gelasian time, coarse-grained turbidite deposition occurred on
the western flank of the intraslope anticline by westerly sourced,
northward-flowing turbidity currents, indicating that the opposing
sea-floor topography was sufficient to cause the diversion of turbidite
systems, forcing them to travel near parallel to the east-facing regional
paleoslope for significant distances. By very late Gelasian time, the
intraslope accommodation space on the western flank of the anticline had
filled and turbidites were dispersed through dip-oriented conduits
incising across the crest of the underlying structure.

Title: Bathymetry of Ischia Island and its offshore (Italy), scale 1:50.000
Abstract:
Here, we show the bathymetric map of Ischia Island and its offshore area
(Naples Bay, Italy), an active volcanic complex in the NW sector of Naples
Bay. The map presented here is based on full seafloor coverage, carried
out by merging multibeam swath bathymetric data acquired from several
projects using different equipment, single beam echo-sounder data and
topographic data, with a final grid cell size of 20 × 20 metres.
The obtained Digital Terrain Model allows a full view of the main
morphological units, and may help future geomorphologic and geologic
interpretations of the study area. Several previously unknown morphologic
highs of the seafloor are mapped and named, in honour of the main
researchers and/or events which characterized the recent history of Ischia
Island.

Title: Geomorphology of the Hérens valley (Swiss Alps)
Abstract:
This paper presents a geomorphological map of the Hérens valley in the
Western Swiss Alps. With an area of 270 km-super-2 and altitudes ranging
from 470 to 4357 m a.s.l., this valley is one of the main secondary
catchments of the Upper Rhône valley. The high differences in
altitudes, combined with a varied geology, create an important geomorphic
diversity. The main processes active in mountain areas, that is, glacial,
periglacial, gravitational and fluvial processes, are well represented.
The map was produced in ArcGIS using a specific legend developed at the
University of Lausanne.

Title: Geology of Mar Piccolo, Taranto (southern Italy): the physical basis for remediation of a polluted marine area
Abstract:
Four 1:15,000 maps for the coastal area of Mar Piccolo (Taranto, southern
Italy) are presented. The study area is a small, sheltered shallow marine
basin of about 20 km-super-2, located north of Taranto town. It contains
some submarine, karstic freshwater springs (citri) that have determined
the development of intensive aquaculture in the past. Now, the Mar Piccolo
is a highly polluted area due to the presence of both military and
industrial navy docks and various heavy industries located in proximal
areas: (i) the ILVA steel plant in Taranto, the largest in Europe; (ii)
the ENI oil refinery and (iii) the CEMENTIR, the largest cement and
concrete plant in southern Italy. Many studies show that water and
sediments are contaminated (heavy metals, isopropyl alcohol,
polychlorinated biphenyl [PCB], etc.), and various remediation projects
are now in preparation. In this study, we analyze the physical
characteristics of the Mar Piccolo environment by producing several maps:
a geological map; a geomorphological map; a bathy-morphological map and a
map of the thickness of surficial sediment. All these maps are original
products focused on the realization of a reliable geological picture for
the Mar Piccolo area. They represent the first steps toward the detailed
knowledge of the Mar Piccolo physical environment, which we consider to be
a fundamental requirement for developing the most appropriate remediation
techniques.

Title: Mapping spatial variation of population aging in China's mega cities
Abstract:
Based on the statistics of the fifth and sixth censuses in China, this
paper, which focuses on the spatial distribution characteristics of aging
population in China's mega cities, examines the distribution of aging in
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Wuhan. In this paper, an Aging Degree
Index and an Aging Population Mean Center have been used to analyze the
spatial distribution characteristics and spatial variation trends of aging
population in mega cities. According to the research, the spatial
distribution of aging population shows a faster development tendency of
suburbanization from two different perspectives: one tendency is
centrifugal spread associated with seniors who are moving from the city
center to outer suburb areas, and the other is center concentration where
the seniors who lived in the outer suburb areas are moving towards the
city center.

Title: Glacier-related landforms and glacial lakes in Huascarán National Park, Peru
Abstract:
The map of lakes and selected glacier-related landforms in Huascarán
National Park was created describing their spatial distribution and
selected properties related to their development. This work presents
additional information on previous lake inventories that was not available
prior to its completion despite the fact that some of the newly collected
information is important for glacial lake flood hazard assessment. The
ongoing environmental changes documented in the national park are
affecting the number, size, spatial distribution and development of the
glacial lakes. Many of the lakes are also filled with sediment, as well as
subject to outburst floods. The lake typology is based on the character of
their dam, whilst moraine ridge types are defined with specific
geomorphological features that affect their stability. Over 1250 moraine
ridges (longer than 200 m) were mapped and classified along with 2370
lakes each with a specific dam type. This represents the most detailed
inventory which can be used for future statistical analysis or hazard
assessment.

Title: Mapping the visual magnitude of popular tourist sites in Edinburgh city
Abstract:
There is value in being able to automatically measure and visualise the
visual exposure of city sites (monuments and buildings, tourist sites) --
for example, in urban planning, as an aid to automated way finding, or in
augmented reality city guides. Here we present the outputs of an algorithm
able to calculate visual exposure -- both as an absolute measure of the
façade area and in terms of a building's perceived size (its lesser
importance with distance). Both metrics influence the photogenic nature of
a site. We therefore compared against maps showing the locations from
where geo-located Flickr images were taken. The results accord with the
metrics and therefore help disambiguate the meaning of Flickr tags.

Title: Wetland habitats of the Kis-Sárrét 1860--2008 (Körös-Maros National Park, Hungary)
Abstract:
The manuscript presents maps of internationally important wetlands located
in the Kis-Sárrét (Hungary) from 1860 to 2008. The study area is
located in south-east Hungary, in the Körös-Maros National Park
and covers 8048 ha. For the historic map review, we used digitized data of
topographic maps from the period of two military surveys and the Second
World War. We also made habitat maps of the area in 2007 and 2008. Data
processing, and the establishment of a database of the mapped area, was
made using QuantumGIS 1.7.0 and Esri ArcView GIS 3.2. Maps were produced
using Esri ArcGIS 10.0 and show where and in what ratio the once extensive
wetlands occurred, how they changed and in which part of the area they
survived in different mapping periods. They provide a point of reference
for the monitoring of wetlands, contributing to the long-term conservation
of these valuable habitats. Maps and diagrams show that between 1860 and
1944 wetland extent decreased by half. The ratio of natural,
‘purely’ wet habitats reaches only 4.67% now. Wetlands
typically occur in habitat complexes, therefore not ‘purely’
wet habitats (20.77%) also have to be taken into account. Considering
this, and a recent habitat reconstruction, the extent of wetlands is more
favourable today than it was in 1944. However, to sustain them requires
care and well-planned management to which the maps presented here provide
an important basis.

Title: High-resolution morpho-bathymetry of Pozzuoli Bay, southern Italy
Abstract:
We present the results of a detailed bathymetric survey of Pozzuoli Bay
(Gulf of Naples, Italy). This shallow marine area, along with the Campi
Flegrei inland, is a highly active volcanic district in the coastal zone
of SW Italy. The area has been active since at least 78 ka B.P.,
and is structurally dominated by a caldera collapse (∼8 km
in diameter) associated with the eruption of the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff
(NYT), a 30--50 km-super-3 dense rock equivalent (DRE) ignimbrite
dated ∼15 ka B.P. The main cartographic product consists of
a 1:10,000 scale morpho-bathymetric map of Pozzuoli Bay, derived from
1 m cell-size, colour hill-shaded, digital terrain model of the
seafloor. Multibeam bathymetry data reveal the precise extent of Roman
underwater archaeological remains located in the N--NW infralittoral zone
of the Bay. Morphometric analysis allowed for the development of thematic
representations, including slope and aspect maps. A complete data set of
active fluid vents seafloor locations were also recorded during the survey
and reported in the final map. The multibeam bathymetric survey
illustrated in this study provides an unprecedentedly detailed image of
the seafloor morphology of Pozzuoli Bay and represents a contribution to
the understanding of the dynamic evolution of the Campi Flegrei caldera, a
high-risk volcanic area densely populated by almost one million people.

Title: The propagation of noise in a built-up area (on the example of a housing estate in Poznań)
Abstract:
The issue of the negative impact of noise on the natural environment is
frequently ignored (in spite of its universality), in particular as
regards urban and heavily built-up areas. The research presented herein
was concerned with a housing estate located in Poznań (Poland). Its
area totals approximately 0.55 km-super-2. The area contains
structures covered by acoustic protection (multi-family building
development and multi-family residential development). Noise level
measurements were performed at designated points. The research made use of
the Database of Topographical Structures -- a digital study with a level
of detail corresponding to a map on a scale of 1:10,000. It served as a
backdrop for presenting the location of measurement stations and the sound
level distribution; structures subject to protection against noise and
areas with unfavourable acoustic conditions were both indicated. The
results of the study may prove useful in administrative urban planning
undertakings concerned with decreasing the noxiousness of noise or
preserving areas characterised by a relative acoustic comfort.

Title: Geology and stratigraphy of the south-eastern Lake Edward basin (Petroleum Exploration Area 4B), Albertine Rift Valley, Uganda
Abstract:
The Lake Edward basin lies within the Albertine Rift Valley of Uganda and
the Democratic Republic of Congo which forms the northern end of the
western arm of the East African Rift System. It is a frontier petroleum
prospective area, which, at the outset of this study, had no exploration
wells drilled within it or any deep reflection seismic surveys. There have
been some previous studies in the basin, but none produced a geological
map subdividing the onshore rift-fill sediments or established a workable
stratigraphic framework for them. Between 2007 and 2010, Dominion Uganda
Ltd., in collaboration with Trinity College Dublin and the Petroleum
Exploration and Production Department of the Ministry of Energy, Uganda,
undertook a geological mapping survey of the south-eastern onshore part of
the basin, known as petroleum ‘Exploration Area 4B’ (EA4B).
Five rift sediment formations were identified and mapped across the area
to produce a new geological map of EA4B. Palynological analyses suggest
that all exposed rift sediments are (Late to Mid) Pleistocene--Holocene.
EA4B is dominated by a north-east to south-west trending fault zone which
underwent significant extension within the last 130,000 years to produce a
trough, or sub-basin, to the south-east against the rift margin. This
trough subsequently filled, initially with ponded swamp clays, followed by
coarse fluvial and alluvial clastics. There is field evidence for minor
inversion and ‘pop-up’ structures along some footwall
crests, suggesting that the neotectonic phase is compressional or
transpressional, and this has caused stream rejuvenation and incision.

Title: Flow-stripes and foliations of the Antarctic ice sheet
Abstract:
Longitudinal surface structures (LSSs) are flow parallel curvilineations
visible on satellite imagery which are commonly observed on ice shelves,
ice streams and glaciers. Their distribution and genesis has the ability
to inform us about ice sheet history and glacial processes. Multiple
hypotheses have been proposed for their formation. Here, we present
continental-scale mapping of these features across the entire Antarctic
ice sheet. The accompanying map details 42,311 polylines representing LSSs
identified on satellite imagery (Landsat, RADARSAT and MODIS). The
subtlety of these features provides many challenges for their
identification and mapping. This work will provide the basis for future
research on the morphology and formative conditions of these features in
order to shed light on their genesis.

Title: Weathering grade in granitoid rocks: The San Giovanni in Fiore area (Calabria, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper illustrates the methodology and techniques for the compilation
of a thematic (engineering) geological map based on detailed mapping of
the weathering grade of crystalline rocks occurring in a portion of the
Sila Massif close to the San Giovanni in Fiore Village (Calabria, Italy).
The map (1:5000 scale), covering an area of about 20 km-super-2,
was compiled combining new geological and structural data with the results
of a weathering grade field survey. The methodology, used to distinguish
and map the weathering grade classes, was performed using qualitative
criteria, semi-quantitative tests, and petrographic analysis of weathered
rock samples. The Main
Map, presented in this paper, aims to provide a useful tool for
land-use planning, for geological hazard assessment and engineering
perspectives.

Title: Coastal landforms and the Holocene evolution of the Island of Samsø, Denmark
Abstract:
The geomorphology of a coastal landscape may reveal an indication of past
shoreline configurations. The spatial arrangement of the preserved
morphologies may further contain indications on the importance of the
different key parameters influencing shoreline evolution over millennial
timescales, such as palaeo sea-level position, longshore currents, energy
gradients, and sediment supply. This paper presents the results and
observations of a surveying and mapping study conducted for the island of
Samsø at a scale of 1:75,000. The objective of the work is to support
the interpretation of core sample data and to extract information on the
factors determining the morpho-sedimentary development of moraine-embedded
coastal lagoon systems during the Holocene. The map is based on an
airborne LiDAR-derived high-resolution digital terrain model that is
combined with spatial information on bathymetry, surface geology and other
features from archived geodata and maps.

Title: Sinkhole susceptibility, Lazio Region, central Italy
Abstract:
Lazio is a region particularly affected by catastrophic sinkhole collapse.
For some areas sinkholes appear to be sporadic, whilst other areas are
particularly affected by sinkholes. These events can cause considerable
damage when they occur in an urban area or in areas with transport
networks. For several years, the Lazio Region has conducted studies on
sinkholes in order to define areas prone to this phenomenon. This study
involved the use of cartographic sources, historical documentation, as
well as field trips, in order to construct an inventory of sinkhole cases
in the region, as well as to identify sinkhole prone areas (SPAs). The
inventory allowed each sinkhole case to be analysed within the geological
and hydrogeological setting, as well as the surrounding vegetation and
degree of urbanisation, in which it occurred. Correlations were also
performed with tectonic and structural trends, and with triggering
factors, such as earthquakes. Some predisposing variables to sinkhole
phenomena are then selected. The application of multivariate logistic
regression and geospatial analyses allows the selection of the most
significant factors, as well as their optimal weights used to construct a
sinkhole susceptibility map of the Latium Region at the 1:250,000 scale.
The identification of the susceptibility grade of SPAs will help in the
management of these areas, based on the risk level.

Title: Average monthly and annual climate maps for Bolivia
Abstract:
This study presents monthly and annual climate maps for relevant
hydroclimatic variables in Bolivia. We used the most complete network of
precipitation and temperature stations available in Bolivia, which passed
a careful quality control and temporal homogenization procedure. Monthly
average maps at the spatial resolution of 1 km were modeled by
means of a regression-based approach using topographic and geographic
variables as predictors. The monthly average maximum and minimum
temperatures, precipitation and potential exoatmospheric solar radiation
under clear sky conditions are used to estimate the monthly average
atmospheric evaporative demand by means of the Hargreaves model. Finally,
the average water balance is estimated on a monthly and annual scale for
each 1 km cell by means of the difference between precipitation and
atmospheric evaporative demand. The digital layers used to create the maps
are available in the digital repository of the Spanish National Research
Council.

Title: Coastal geomorphological cartography of Veracruz State, Mexico
Abstract:
This paper presents a general geomorphological map of the coastal zone of
Veracruz State, Mexico, produced using topographic information, digital
orthophotos and high-resolution aerial photographs, as well as a study of
geological materials and field survey. Hierarchical levels established for
the typological classification are (a) relief categories (mountains, hills
and plains); (b) relief subcategories (low mountains; foothills; large,
medium and small hills; very high, high, medium, low and very low plains);
(c) specific morphogenetic relief type, according to morphology,
morphometry and the genetic formation process, and geological substratum;
(d) relative age of relief, according to correlated data for the
Mexican--Caribbean region; and (e) morphogenetic formations complex. The
geomorphological history of relief development in the region reveals a
period of compression of the palaeo-mesozoic substratum, during the
Laramide orogeny, followed by neotectonic reconstruction of the
morphostructure, primarily in the mountains, giving rise to intense
erosion--denudation processes and the break-up of relief during the
Pliocene and up to the present day. These conditions contributed to the
spread of a varied, complex and interdigitated sedimentation, shaped by
marine, fluvial, lacustrine--palustrine and aeolian processes which, under
glacio-eustatic conditions during the Quaternary, established a system of
terraced plains of different origin, dissected or not dependent on the
prevailing lithology. The study area of 7872 km-super-2 was divided
into five sectors: Tamiahua, Poza Rica, Veracruz, Alvarado and
Coatzacoalcos, and mapped at a scale of 1:110,000.

Title: A geographic approach to carbon accounting of Wisconsin
Abstract:
Carbon accounting is becoming increasingly important in the way it
provides a comprehensive perspective of carbon balance from both carbon
emission and carbon assimilation. Numerous previous researches have
focused on carbon emission inventory, but few have put their effort in
estimating the overall carbon balance as well as analyzing its spatial
distribution. In this study, the fossil fuel consumption from all end-use
sectors was used to estimate the carbon emission, and the carbon
assimilation of vegetation was derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer net primary production. Then, the carbon emission was
integrated with carbon assimilation to estimate carbon balance. The
results were presented in five different maps with a scale of 1:1,480,000
and suggested that, in 2009, Wisconsin was able to assimilate its all
end-use carbon emissions through the vegetation. In addition, carbon
surplus and carbon deficit of Wisconsin demonstrated their respective
spatial patterns. The approach can be generalized and applied to other
regions to estimate carbon balance.

Title: Where is precedent set? An exploratory geovisualization of State Supreme Court cases
Abstract:
Vast data warehouses of legal documents and court decisions present an
opportunity for data visualization and analysis, yet court decisions have
rarely been visualized geographically. We explore the potential for
geographic visualization of judicial case data by mapping a state-level
standardized score calculated from 135 State Supreme Court abortion cases
published in the USA between 1973 and 2013, and again from 228
redistricting cases published between 1962 and 2013. We observe
substantial variation in Z-scores across the USA, with
geographic patterning of high values observed for redistricting cases, but
not for abortion cases. The resulting maps suggest that the
geovisualization of court decisions may aid the generation and testing of
hypotheses about whether or not certain states disproportionately set
legal precedent and subsequently influence the national discourse on a
given issue. This type of geovisualization may also have implications for
forum shopping and other geographically explicit legal strategies.

Title: Large-scale landslide and deep-seated gravitational slope deformation of the Upper Scrivia Valley (Northern Apennine, Italy)
Abstract:
The Scrivia river is a right tributary of the Po river, the main Italian
water course, which flows eastwards into the Adriatic Sea. The head of the
Scrivia valley is located in the Northern Apennines, a very short distance
from the Ligurian Sea. Its catchment is characterized by landslide areas
greater than both the regional and national average. In this work, the
causes of this high landslide density have been investigated and a
large-scale map of landslide phenomena is produced. Based on
geomorphological constraints, several previously unknown deep-seated
gravitational slope deformations (DSGSDs) were also identified. DSGSDs
have been distinguished in sackungen and lateral spreads. Their
characteristics were analyzed in a geographical information system (GIS)
environment and compared with landslide distribution. Field surveys,
aerial photo-interpretation and GIS analyses led to the production of a
large-scale landslide and DSGSD overview map at 1:35,000. The massive
presence of DSGSDs and their connection to landslide distribution and
activity raise important implications for both geological mapping and land
planning.

Title: Geology of the Entracque--Colle di Tenda area (Maritime Alps, NW Italy)
Abstract:
The 1:25,000 geological map of the Entracque--Colle di
Tenda area covers an area of about 130 km-super-2 in the Italian
Maritime Alps, between the Gesso and Vermenagna valleys. The map area is
of great relevance since the Alpine units of this region sampled a
geological nodal point in the Mesozoic, at the transition between two
different sedimentation domains of the Alpine Tethys European palaeomargin
(the Dauphinois basin to the NW and the Provençal platform to the
SE). During the Cenozoic, this palaeogeographic hinge was progressively
incorporated along multiple shear zone systems developed at the southern
termination of the Western Alps arc.

Title: Vulnerability to coastal flood hazard of residential buildings on Noirmoutier Island (France)
Abstract:
Storm Xynthia was responsible for the death of 41 people by drowning after
the flooding by the sea of low-lying areas along French Atlantic coast in
February 2010. This toll was partly explained by inadequacy of houses to
flood hazard: 78% of the deaths occur in single-storey constructions.In
this paper, we propose a map linking architectural typology of
constructions with potential water depth in case of coastal flood event.
The goal is to identify residential houses which present a high level of
vulnerability for people to a potential coastal flood event. This work is
presented on Noirmoutier Island which was few impacted by Storm Xynthia.
However, it presents some common points with the most hit territories
during the storm: 70% of the territory is under Xynthia level; 65% of the
houses located in this low-lying area are single-storey constructionsThis
map shows us different vulnerability between the four towns of the island.

Title: Multiscale map analysis in alluvial fan flood-prone areas
Abstract:
Several case studies of geomorphological mapping at various scales in
order to identify areas prone to alluvial fan flooding are presented in
this paper. The selected areas are located in southern Italy and are
representative of a geomorphic unit (foothills consisting of coalescent
alluvial fans) found throughout the southern Apennines. The medium-scale
approach represents the best tool to identify areas susceptible to
flooding, using detailed geomorphological mapping of fan systems. It can
be considered a preliminary analysis, which provides important information
for large areas and identifies zones which need further investigation.
Large-scale map analysis may be applied to a single fan and used to
distinguish fan portions prone to different degrees of hazard exposure,
thus providing accurate information for decision-makers who are called
upon to plan hazard management. In both cases, analysis based on detailed
geological and geomorphological field surveys is often coupled with
remotely sensed data.

Title: Relicts of the Pleistocene Po Plain on the Western and Southern slopes of Turin Hill (NW Italy)
Abstract:
A detailed geological survey of the Southern slope of Turin Hill reveals a
Pleistocene terraced fluvial succession consisting of flat surfaces
separated by scarps with associated fluvial clayey--silty and gravelly
sediments. This succession is not linked to the present N--S hilly
streams, but is instead related to major Pleistocene W--E rivers. The
collected regional data suggest an ancient trend of the Po River flowing
across Turin Hill, prior to its present course to the north of the hill.
The Pleistocene terraced fluvial succession of the Western slope of Turin
Hill is also mapped, based on a previous survey to allow a full
reconstruction of the ancient rivers. The collected regional data and the
petrographic analysis show that this succession is related to an ancient
tributary of the Po River (Dora Riparia River). Wide saddles of the same
river have been mapped on the main watershed between the two slopes of
Turin Hill. The capping of soils less evolved with decreasing elevation
over the fluvial sediments and landforms indicates that the whole terraced
succession covers a large time range (Middle--Upper Pleistocene). The
reported geologic successions and the current morphology of the relief
result from the uplift and deformation of the Pleistocene Po Plain and the
Dora Riparia Plain that were shaped at the south of Turin Hill. The
proposed age/elevation relationships for the mapped terraces suggest a
remarkable uplift of Turin Hill during the late Quaternary.

Title: Geostructure of Coroglio tuff cliff, Naples (Italy) derived from terrestrial laser scanner data
Abstract:
We present a long-range terrestrial laser scanner application for the
geostructural mapping of Coroglio cliff, a tuff rock face exposed along
the coastal zone of Campi Flegrei, Napoli. The procedure includes several
phases (geomorphological analysis, structural field survey, laser scanner
data acquisition and data processing, 3-D model development and analysis,
geostructural classification of discontinuity orientation data and 2-D
vertical cartographic production). Field data were processed with specific
software dedicated to geostructural and geometric analysis. Spatial data
were managed with a geographical information system and have been used for
the construction of 2-D and 3-D geometric models of the rock cliff surface
and geostructural interpretation. The main product of this study is a
vertical geostructural map of the Coroglio cliff at 1:500 scale that
illustrates the spatial distribution and orientation of the major families
of structural discontinuities detected along the exposed surface of the
cliff. The cartographic product includes base information useful to
identify the main rock failure mechanisms along the cliff and represents a
first step for the zonation of areas susceptible to block failures and the
planning of monitoring activities.

Title: Classification of landforms in Southern Portugal (Ria Formosa Basin)
Abstract:
A Geographic Information Systems-based tool is used for macro-landform
classification following the Hammond procedure, based upon a Digital
Terrain Model (DTM) created from ordinary Kriging. Gentle slopes, surface
curvature, highlands and lowlands areas are derived from the DTM.
Combining this information allows the classification of terrain units
(landforms). The procedure is applied to the Ria Formosa basin (Southern
Portugal), with five different terrain types classified (plains,
tablelands, plains with hills, open hills and hills).

Title: Geo-structural map of the Laguna Blanca basin (Southern Central Andes, Catamarca, Argentina)
Abstract:
The Laguna Blanca basin is a rhomb-shaped basin located at the SE margin
of the Puna plateau in the southern Central Andes (Catamarca, Argentina).
An interactive analysis using remote sensing and field mapping enabled us
to produce a geo-structural map at a 1:350,000 scale. Satellite images
from multispectral sensors (ASTER and Landsat 7 ETM+) and medium
resolution Digital Elevation Models (SRTM and ASTER GDEM) were used in
order to recognize the structures and main lithologies, which were
validated in the field and through laboratory tests (e.g. spectral
analysis). The final result is a geo-structural map of the Laguna Blanca
basin with a new geological unit subdivision, highlighting its tectonic
origin, which appears to be related to a releasing stepover along N-S
sinistral strike-slip master faults.

Title: Geomorphology of the floodplain at the confluence of the Aventino and Sangro rivers (Abruzzo, Central Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents a geomorphological map of the floodplain at the
confluence of the Aventino and Sangro rivers (scale 1:10,000), located
across the Adriatic piedmont of the Maiella Massif (Abruzzo Region,
Central Italy). This area is in the lower reach of the Sangro--Aventino
drainage basin, which in the mid-1900s was affected by the creation of
four main artificial water reservoirs by damming of the basin's major
rivers and the related network of spillway pipes for hydropower purposes.
This, combined with climatic factors, induced a strong rearrangement of
river channels and floodplains. The fluvial geomorphological features have
been analyzed through a detailed-scale multi-temporal analysis based on
geomorphological field mapping, topographic analysis, and a remote sensing
analysis carried out on aerial photos, orthophotos and Lidar images. The
map includes three sections: physiographic and geological setting; main
geomorphological map; multi-temporal (1954--2009) and morphometric
analysis of the floodplain. The mapping is focused on landforms and
continental deposits, mainly linked to fluvial, slope and anthropogenic
processes, and to 1954 and 2009 river channels planform analyses and the
related morphometric parameters, in order to outline the changes in the
river dynamics, strongly influenced by anthropogenic intervention. At a
local scale, this type of map can contribute to the understanding of the
causes, mechanisms and consequences of the changes in fluvial form and
support river management. Finally, it may represent a tool for the
assessment of natural hazards in landscapes characterized by intense and
rapid geomorphological (fluvial) processes, as well as a tool for correct
land management.

Title: The subglacial imprint of the last Newfoundland Ice Sheet, Canada.
Abstract:
The former Newfoundland Ice Sheet was situated on the fringes of the
northeast Atlantic Ocean during the Wisconsinan glaciation
(∼80--10 ka BP). Its geographic position indicates that it
was likely to have been influenced by a number of external and internal
forcing mechanisms including configuration changes in the Laurentide Ice
Sheet with which it converged during the last glacial maximum, ice
streams, changes in oceanic circulation and fluctuating sea levels. This
makes Newfoundland a key location for investigating the dynamic response
of ice sheets to these types of internal and external drivers. An
established methodology for investigating ice sheet dynamics is to use the
landform record to reconstruct the dynamic behaviour and configuration of
the ice sheet. This provides a relative chronology of former ice sheet
events during glacial cycles. A fundamental requirement of this approach
is a detailed glacial geomorphology map that records the spatial
distribution of individual subglacial bedforms across the former ice sheet
bed. This paper presents a new subglacial bedform map of the Island of
Newfoundland. It was produced as part of a mapping programme which used
10 m resolution Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre satellite
imagery, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission and Canadian Digital Elevation
Data. The map records the spatial distribution of ∼126,000
individually mapped glacial lineations and ribbed moraines and extends the
number and spatial extent of each landform across the island. It is a new
data set which has the potential to provide important insights into former
ice sheet behaviour in this region.

Title: Evidence of increase in woody vegetation in a river corridor, Northwest England, 1984--2007
Abstract:
Based on observations on rivers in England over a 30-year period, it was
hypothesised that the extent of woody vegetation in riparian areas has
increased in many locations. Methods to map and measure changes in
vegetation cover from aerial photographs were developed and tested on a
5 km reach of the River Dane in Northwest England. Riparian
vegetation was divided into seven classes, and these were mapped from
aerial photographs of four dates, 1984, 1996, 2001 and 2007. The results
indicate an increase from 9% woody vegetation cover in the river corridor
in 1984 to 32% cover in 2007, with a 40-fold increase in areas of mature
woody vegetation. The results have implications for river processes,
because of effects on bank erosion and sediment supply, and for land
management policies, with grazing control hypothesised to be a major cause
of the changes.

Title: Detailed Natura 2000 and CORINE Biotopes habitat maps of the island of Elba (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy)
Abstract:
The island of Elba (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy) Natura 2000 habitat map
(1:25,000) and the CORINE Biotopes habitat map (1:25,000) were derived
from the phytosociological map of Elba integrated with recent studies and
field knowledge of the vegetation units. Conventional geographical
information system queries were used to manage and select the spatial
information. For each map polygon, the following attributes were assigned:
(i) habitat typology and (ii) percentage cover of each habitat type. Where
multiple habitat types were associated with the same polygon, the
percentage cover of each habitat type was estimated. A total of 27 Natura
2000 habitat types and 58 CORINE Biotopes habitat types were identified,
these being distributed in single and/or multiple typological units.
Distribution and covers of the different habitat types are discussed. The
usefulness of this kind of map for monitoring and managing conservation
actions is discussed.

Title: Recent alluvial fans in Calabria (southern Italy)
Abstract:
The present work aims at identifying the location of recent
debris-flow-dominated alluvial fans at a regional scale in Calabria
(southern Italy). Here, alluvial fans widely occur as both tributary
junction and mountain front types and represent a potential hazard to
human settlements and transportation links near or on them. The alluvial
fans inventory map at 1:250,000 scale was obtained by means of a
stereoscopic interpretation of aerial photos shot in 1954--1955. To
establish the activity of the detected alluvial fans, recent documentary
evidence (scientific reports, local newspapers and journals, and Internet
blogs) on debris-flow events and historical satellite imagery available on
Google Earth, covering the period 2001--2014, were analysed. Subsequently,
the activity of the alluvial fans over the last 60 years has been divided
into four classes. A total of 1170 alluvial fans have been mapped, 545
(46.58%) of which have been active over the last 60 years. The alluvial
fans with a length from apex to toe > 200 m
predominate, constituting 70% of the total. In the feeder basins, the
dominant lithologies are represented by medium to high-grade metamorphic
rocks and igneous rocks, gravel and debris and, shales and low-grade
metamorphic rocks. Finally, the inventory map shows that 103 settlements
are located on alluvial fans, 18 of which are active or have been active
during the last 60 years. This map is a useful tool for land planning
policy and for the assessment of risk deriving from debris-flows on the
alluvial fans of the Calabria region.

Title: Stratigraphic framework of the late Miocene to Pliocene Pisco Formation at Cerro Colorado (Ica Desert, Peru)
Abstract:
This paper describes a ∼200 m-thick section of the Pisco
Formation exposed at Cerro Colorado, an important fossiliferous site in
the Ica desert. In order to properly place the fauna in its correct
relative position, this study establishes the stratigraphic framework
within which the different fossil-bearing intervals of this site can be
compared and may prove invaluable in future high-resolution studies on the
faunal change. Most of the Pisco Formation deposits exposed at Cerro
Colorado consist of gently dipping fine-grained sandstones, diatomaceous
siltstones and diatomites with minor ash layers and dolomites deposited
within nearshore and offshore settings. To facilitate detailed
stratigraphic correlations within the Pisco strata for a
30 km-super-2 area, eight marker beds have been defined and
large-scale (1:10,000 scale) geological mapping conducted to determine
fault positions, styles and offsets. The geological map shows that there
are two important angular unconformities in the study area. The first one
is the interformational basal unconformity of the Pisco Formation against
folded, faulted, and planated Oligo-Miocene rocks of the Chilcatay
Formation. The second is a low-angle intraformational erosional
discontinuity of up to 4° angular discordance that allows the
subdivision of the Pisco stratigraphy exposed in the study area into two
informal allomembers. Dating of the exposed succession by diatom
biostratigraphy suggests that the age of the lower allomember is late
Miocene, whereas the upper allomember is late Miocene or younger.

Title: Landscapes of polyphase glaciation: eastern Hellas Planitia, Mars
Abstract:
The mid-latitudes of Mars host numerous ice-related landforms that bear
many similarities to terrestrial ice masses. This collection of landforms,
termed viscous flow features (VFFs), is composed primarily of
H2O ice and shows evidence of viscous deformation. Recent work
has hypothesised that VFFs are the diminishing remains of once larger ice
masses, formed during one or more previous ice ages, and the landscape
therefore records evidence of polyphase glaciation. However, debate
persists concerning the former extent and volume of ice, and style of
former glaciations. The accompanying map (1:100,000 scale) presents a
geomorphic and structural assessment of a glacial landscape in eastern
Hellas Planitia, Mars. Here, we present a description of the features
identified, comprising four geomorphic units (plains, lobate debris apron,
degraded glacial material, and glacier-like form) and 16 structures
(craters, moraine-like ridges, flow unit boundaries, arcuate transvers
structures, longitudinal surface structures, ring-mold craters, terraces,
medial moraine-like ridges, raised textured areas, flow-parallel and
flow-transverse lineations, crevasses and crevasse traces, and ridge
clusters).

Title: Distribution of fossil marine vertebrates in Cerro Colorado, the type locality of the giant raptorial sperm whale Livyatan melvillei (Miocene, Pisco Formation, Peru)
Abstract:
Hundreds of fossil marine vertebrates cropping out at Cerro Colorado
(Pisco Basin, Peru) are identified and reported on a 1:6500 scale
geological map and in a joined stratigraphic section. All the fossils are
from the lower strata of the Pisco Formation, dated in this area to the
late middle or early late Miocene. They are particularly concentrated
(88%) in the stratigraphic interval from 40 to 75 m above the
unconformity with the underlying Chilcatay Formation. The impressive
fossil assemblage includes more than 300 specimens preserved as bone
elements belonging mostly to cetaceans (81%), represented by mysticetes
(cetotheriids and balaenopteroids) and odontocetes (kentriodontid-like
delphinidans, pontoporiids, ziphiids, and physeteroids, including the
giant raptorial sperm whale Livyatan melvillei). Seals,
crocodiles, sea turtles, seabirds, bony fish, and sharks are also
reported. Isolated large teeth of Carcharocles and
Cosmopolitodus are common throughout the investigated
stratigraphical interval, whereas other shark teeth, mostly of
carcharinids, are concentrated in one sandy interval. This work represents
a first detailed census of the extraordinary paleontological heritage of
the Pisco Basin and the basis for future taphonomic, paleoecological, and
systematic studies, as well as a much needed conservation effort for this
extremely rich paleontological site.

Title: Morpho-sedimentology of a Mediterranean microtidal embayed wave dominated beach system and related inner shelf with Posidonia oceanica meadows: the SE Sardinian coast
Abstract:
This article presents a morpho-sedimentological map of a Mediterranean
embayed microtidal wave-dominated beach system and related inner shelf.
The study area is located between Capo Boi and the Torre de su Fenugu
sector, and focuses on Solanas beach in SE Sardinia. All of the collected
data were processed to draw a main 1:7,000 scale map, which shows the
general characteristics of the entire area, including its hydrodynamic,
morphological, and sedimentological features (distribution of
siliciclastic and biogenic/bioclastic sediments), rocky outcrops, beach
rocks, and marine phanerogam meadow coverage (mainly Posidonia
oceanica). Several secondary maps such as routes and paths,
side-scan sonar photomosaic interpretations, and sedimentary facies have
also been included. In addition to its scientific value, the map can be an
important tool for beach management purposes.

Title: Sensitivity to desertification of a high productivity area in Southern Italy
Abstract:
Calabria (Southern Italy) is one of the Italian regions most affected by
desertification phenomena. This study presents a detailed analysis of the
sensitivity to desertification of an economically important agricultural
area in the province of Crotone. The Environmentally Sensitive Areas
methodology, developed during the European Union MEDALUS project, has been
applied by means of a consistent set of pedological, vegetation, climatic
and management data of the study area. Analysis of 15 biophysical and
social-economic indicators and an evaluation of 4 Quality Indices allowed
the classification of the study area into potential, fragile and critical
areas in relation to desertification. The main result is a pronounced
sensitivity to desertification of the area: about 46% of the land emerges
as being already affected by degradation phenomena, falling within the
worst class (‘critical’), while about 39% of the area
belongs to the ‘fragile’ class.

Title: Glaciological and geomorphological map of Glacier Noir and Glacier Blanc, French Alps
Abstract:
This paper presents and describes a glaciological and geomorphological map
of Glacier Noir and Glacier Blanc, French Alps. Glacier Noir is a
debris-covered glacier and is adjacent to Glacier Blanc, a clean-ice
(debris-free) glacier. The glaciological and geomorphological evolution of
Glacier Blanc is well known, but the evolution of Glacier Noir is poorly
understood, as is the case for many debris-covered glaciers globally,
despite their importance in a number of mountain ranges around the world
(e.g. European and Southern Alps, the Himalayas and the Rockies). The
accompanying map was created by manually digitising aerial ortho-images
and historical georeferenced photographs from 1952 to 2013. The main
glacial and geomorphological features of both glaciers were mapped,
including debris cover, crevasses, moraines, hummocky terrain and scree
areas. Hydrological features (supra- and pro-glacial streams and meltwater
ponds) were also mapped. The map illustrates the key differences between
Glacier Noir and Glacier Blanc, and is important for understanding future
glaciological and geomorphological changes.

Title: Structure and petrography of the southwestern margin of the Biella pluton, Western Alps
Abstract:
This work presents a new form surface map of the southwestern margin of
the Biella pluton at the scale 1:10,000. The Biella pluton is part of the
Periadriatic intrusives of the Alps and is emplaced in the continental
Sesia-Lanzo Zone of the western Austroalpine domain. The country rocks
consist of metapelites and different metagranitoids. Pre-intrusive HP
(high pressure) mineral assemblages are dominant in country rocks with the
exception of metagranitoids dominated by HT (high temperature)
assemblages. The plutonic rocks consist of monzonite with minor syenite.
The ductile polyphasic deformation of the country rocks predates the
pluton emplacement, with the exception of syn-intrusive folding and
shearing, which were recorded in the country rocks of the deeper part of
the pluton. Syn-intrusive deformation may be represented by brittle
structures that bear mineralisation; however, the majority of the brittle
deformation postdates the final emplacement of the pluton. The orientation
of the pervasive foliation in the country rocks controls the space
available for magma intrusion and possible magmatic flow during
emplacement. The inferred diffusion of the thermal aureole in the country
rocks is based on the variation in contact metamorphic minerals, which is
described by microscopic analysis. The extent of the aureole appears to be
controlled by the type of dominant mineral assemblages, rock permeability,
and the orientation of the regional foliation in country rocks with
respect to the pluton margin. The multiscale structural analysis reveals
that the Biella pluton emplaced at a depth as shallow as the greenschist
facies conditions or shallower.

Title: Geology of the Scalaro valley -- Sesia Zone (Italian Western Alps)
Abstract:
In the Sesia Zone (Italian Western Alps), slivers of continental crust
characterised by an Alpine high-pressure imprint are intermingled with
abundant mafic rocks and Mesozoic metasediments. An extensive study of the
central Sesia Zone was undertaken to identify and reconstruct the
lithological setting of the mono-cyclic sediments of the Scalaro Unit. A
new geological map (1:5000) and schematic cross sections across the
Scalaro Unit and the adjoining Eclogitic Micaschist Complex are presented
here. In order to delimit the size and shape of the mono-metamorphic unit
and understand its internal geometry with respect to the poly-metamorphic
basement, an integrated approach was used. Linking observations and data
across a range of scales, from kilometres in the field down to
petrological and chronological data obtained at micrometre scale, we
define for the first time the real size and internal geometry of the
Scalaro Unit, as well as its large-scale structural context.

Title: Confluence of the Morava and Dyje Rivers: a century of landscape changes in maps
Abstract:
The area of the Morava and Dyje Rivers confluence is one of the most
biologically diverse localities in the Czech Republic, recognised under
many international forms of nature protection. In this paper we analyse
and present land use/land cover (LULC) changes that took place over the
last century. Using aerial photographs from the years 1938, 1953, 1976 and
2009, we differentiate 24 categories of LULC with a special focus on
forest management. The most important detected changes are (i) closure of
open/structured woodlands, (ii) change from an agricultural mosaic into
large-field arable land, (iii) regulation of water courses, (iv) decrease
in grassland area and (v) increase in forest logging intensity. LULC
trends in this area differ significantly from the general LULC development
within the Czech Republic. The results are presented in six map sheets
showing LULC in (a--d) the studied years, (e) processes of LULC changes
and (f) LULC change intensity. The thematic maps are accompanied by aerial
photographs selected to show characteristic features of landscape
structure in a certain period and by graphs including those visualising
landscape metrics.

Title: Geomorphology of the Agri intermontane basin (val d'Agri-Lagonegrese National Park, Southern Italy)
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to show the most important landforms of the Agri
intermontane basin, a large continental tectonic trough included within
the Val d'Agri-Lagonegrese National Park, southern Italy. The map was
produced using aerial photo interpretation and field survey at a 1:25,000
scale and is composed of a main geomorphological map and three smaller
submaps that provide more information on the geology of the basin. The
geomorphological map includes seven groups of landforms, each of them
modelled by a different surface process that worked on both the Mesozoic
to Cenozoic bedrock and Quaternary clastic successions of the Agri basin.
Based on the dominant morphogenetic process active in the past, the
landforms have been grouped as follows: (1) structurally controlled and
tectonic landforms; (2) fluvial landforms; (3) karst and fluvio-karst
landforms; (4) gravity-induced landforms; (5) glacial landforms; (6)
anthropogenetic landforms; (7) polygenetic landforms. These landforms
allow discrimination of the main geomorphic processes that have worked on
the basin and have provided information about long- to short-term
landscape evolution since the Pliocene. The map can be a useful tool for
studies on landscape evolution, hazard evaluation, and land management of
a drainage basin, and in the production of planning guidelines of the
protected area.

Title: Analytical material for planning in Olomouc, Czech Republic
Abstract:
Urban planning in the Czech Republic is governed by the Act No. 183/2006
Coll., the Construction Act and the Ministry Decree No. 500/2006 Coll.
These laws make it an obligation to create and maintain up to date
Analytical Materials for Planning (Územně analytické
podklady -- UAP) containing four specific maps showing Territories
Requiring Preservation, Territorial Challenges, Territorial Limits and
Territorial Concepts. Currently, there is no uniform approach to the
cartographic visualization of these maps. This article describes the
process of designing the symbology and then the creating of four thematic
maps that meet the requirements. The maps that have been produced through
the current project are the result of collaboration between the Department
of Geoinformatics, the Regional Authority of the Olomouc Region and the
City of Olomouc. The joint project was focused on the creation of a
comprehensive symbology for the UAP maps required by law. The new
symbology respects basic cartographic rules and meets the needs of
decision-making. Simultaneously the procedure for updating maps with new
ones was designed. The output of the project represents the first attempt
to standardize the creation of UAP maps in the Czech Republic. The
Regional Authority of the Olomouc Region certified the new symbology as a
recommended methodology for creating UAP maps. The symbology is currently
in use in 9 of the 13 districts of Olomouc region: Olomouc, Jeseník,
Lipník nad Bečvou, Šumperk, Přerov, Litovel,
Hranice, Prostějov a Šternberk. All the maps are available on
the public website of the Olomouc region.

Title: Changes in the population distribution in Poland in the years 1946--2012
Abstract:
This paper presents a method of development concerning maps of changes in
the population distribution in Poland after the Second World War
(1946--2012). The phenomenon is presented by means of isolinear maps based
of the population density index. The resulting maps illustrate the
population distribution in intervals of approximately 10 years. Moreover,
the changes themselves are presented in balance maps corresponding to
periods between the selected dates. The maps highlight spatial changes in
the population distribution in Poland. The key task was to develop a
method of preparing maps providing an objective and comparable image of
the population distribution. This was obtained by means of the isoline
method with the application of a multipoint representation of
administrative units (basic fields) differing in terms of area and shape.
Comparability was also achieved through the appropriate preparation of
standardised map legends (colour scales and isoline interval). The maps
were prepared in scales of 1:8,000,000 (state maps) and 1:400,000
(change/balance maps).

Title: From infrastructure to service: mapping long-distance passenger transport in Italy
Abstract:
In order to promote an effective level of coordination between physical
investments, technology and soft policies in transport planning, a deep
knowledge of supply and demand is desirable, if not necessary. Unlike
other countries, the national scale of supply and demand for the Italian
transport systems as a whole is barely known and in the case of
long-distance mobility, there is not a unique quantitative and
geographical description available. In this paper, we present a map
regarding the Italian long-distance transport supply and generalised cost
simulations, for the period 2013--2014. The information shown in the map
comes from a multimodal transport model, which presents the peculiarity of
using real public service timetables to simulate the entirety of the
Italian long-distance transport industry. This tool enables one to map the
entire transport supply and to estimate the generalised costs among any
route: this also allows one to identify which transport mode is better
suited to make a specific trip.

Title: Mapping multi-day GPS data: a cartographic study in NYC
Abstract:
Multi-day Global Positioning System (GPS) data are increasingly being used
in research -- including in the field of spatial epidemiology. We present
several maps as ways to present multi-day GPS data. Data come from the NYC
Low-Income Housing, Neighborhoods and Health Study
(n = 120). Participants wore a QStarz
BT-Q1000XT GPS device for about a week (mean: 7.44,

Title: Local self-government structure in the EU member states in 2011
Abstract:
This paper aims to point out the current size structure of the smallest
self-government units in the European Union (EU) countries. Municipal
reform is currently an ongoing process which has already taken place in
several EU member states and resulted in a differentiated structure of
these units. Local self-government units have legitimately elected
representatives whose action influences the day-to-day life of local
residents. From the perspective of comparative analysis, it is important
to understand the size structure of local self-government units which has
an enormous impact on the functioning of the self-government and it is a
key factor in terms of the amount of funding available in these units. The
dynamics of integration and disintegration changes are relatively strong
as confirmed by the results of our analysis where in almost every EU
member state the number of these units has changed more or less
significantly in the last decade (2001--2011). For the sake of better
mutual comparison, the final map interpretation (the number of local
self-government units in the EU) was drawn up to 2011 when all EU member
states conducted a census.

Title: Interactive mapping for large, open demographic data sets using familiar geographical features
Abstract:
Ever-increasing numbers of large demographic data sets are becoming
available. Many of these data sets are provided as open data, but are in
basic repositories where it is incumbent on the user to generate their own
visualisations and analysis in order to garner insights. In a bid to
facilitate the use and exploration of such data sets, we have created a
web mapping platform called DataShine. We link data from the 2011 Census
for England and Wales with open geographical data to demonstrate the power
and utility of creating a conventional map and combining it with a simple
but flexible interface and a highly detailed demographic data set.

Title: Mapping the location, design and decline of London's psychiatric asylums (1831--2012)
Abstract:
This research analyses the location of psychiatric hospitals, previously
known as ‘mental asylums’ built in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth century in London, UK. Twenty of the largest facilities
are geo-referenced using a mixed-methods approach including the use of
archival documents, historical Ordnance Survey mapping, and a variety of
recent digital datasets. The hospital locations are plotted on Ordnance
Survey-super-© [2013. Retrieved July 26, 2013, from ht
tp://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/opendata/viewer/]
Meridian™2 vector data. Inset maps provide comparative mapping of
historic and current hospital sites using historic Ordnance
Survey-super-©, and recent Google™ Satellite data. Two of the
largest former asylums of the ‘Epsom Cluster’ are explored
in detail, Long Grove Hospital and West Park Hospital. Architectural
design details and on-site photographs from 2007 and 2011 are used to
demonstrate changes to luxury housing and of hospital decay. Of the 20
hospital sites mapped, 14 were converted into luxury housing, while only 2
remain as mental health facilities.

Title: Mapping cost distance using air traffic data
Abstract:
Recent trends in transport and communication infrastructures have had a
profound impact on the spatial organization of the world city network,
which have long been of interest to geographers. Considering the former
issue, our study is based on previous works on air transport geography and
world city network studies. We introduce a new method to map the gap
between geographical distance and cost distance by using air traffic data.
In this paper, we created an international database for a large number of
world cities and developed a way to map cost distance using conventional
and Geographic Information System-based mapping techniques. The main
result of this work is a set of maps showing the cost distances of world
cities, which can be used as a significant source of information by world
city network analysis.

Title: Spatial patterns of unemployment in Central Europe: emerging development axes beyond the Blue Banana
Abstract:
In this paper, we focus on mapping and analysing the spatial patterns of
unemployment in four Central European countries -- Austria, Czechia,
Germany, and Poland, on municipal level in 2010. Specifically, based on
the geo-social differentiation patterns, we are searching for secondary
axes stretching from the Blue Banana (the major European economic
development axis running from London to Milan) towards Eastern Europe.
Unemployment is supposed to approximate economic development, thanks to
its close relation to GDP and other economic indicators. To study spatial
patterns and development axes on a micro scale, we use the concept of
spatial autocorrelation, specifically Moran's I and LISA
analysis. While we analyse more than 44,000 units, the resulting maps are
very detailed and difficult to interpret on small scales. In this paper,
we take advantage of the opportunity to present large-scale maps
(1:2,500,000 and 1:6,000,000), which are also more suitable for the
analytical conclusions that follow.

Title: A relational and processual re-cartography of infrastructure: E17 Motorway Landscapes
Abstract:
E17 Motorway Landscapes proposes a relational and
processual re-mapping of the E17 as it crosses the south of West Flanders
in Belgium. Motorways are usually conceived, perceived and most often
mapped as alien elements superimposed on the territory. To be able -- at
least partially -- to break free from this settled cartographic orthodoxy,
the re-mapping of the motorway follows three specific strategies of
cartographic exploration. First of all, the motorway landscape is
cartographically de- and recomposed according to a relational rather than
to a topographical logic, thereby revealing alternative measures of rhythm
and contextual reinterpretations of scale. Second, the motorway landscape
is mapped as a process by incorporating the previous state of the selected
elements into the maps and by furthermore stressing their transformations
in relation to the E17. Lastly, the motorway landscape is reimagined as a
thick, albeit fragmented body, by means of a content-specific
symbolization scheme, designed to reflect attunement and relationality
between different object categories.

Title: Art-geoscience encounters and entanglements in the watery realm
Abstract:
This paper critically explores a 40-year collaboration between a geomorphologist and a relief printmaker from the perspective of the emerging art-science paradigm in the geosciences. Drawing on the authors’ work and practice worldwide, ‘standard art-science’ (the artist as communicator and observer) and emerging ‘transdisciplinary/paradisciplinary’ practices are explored in the watery realm. While standard art-science ‘encounters’ were viewed favourably from the viewpoint of community engagement, especially by commissioning bodies, they did not measurably improve the explanation of science to the public nor offer new avenues for creative investigation. In light of this, the authors undertook a series of explicitly interdisciplinary/transdisciplinary ‘entanglements’ by co-conceiving projects, carrying out joint fieldwork and ‘data’ collection and, most importantly, working together in the studio and laboratory. These projects suggest that multi-scalar approaches are required when using art-geoscience to explore environmental issues which impact significantly on individuals and communities.

Title: ‘Boundary’: mapping and visualizing climatically changed landscapes at Kaskawulsh Glacier and Kluane Lake, Yukon
Abstract:
This paper describes a collaboration between a visual artist and geoscientists, who together viewed the same rugged, high mountain landscape through different, yet complementary, lenses. We pair scientific mapping and historic comparative photography with a series of site-specific sculptural installations to interpret the dramatic geological changes that occurred at Kaskawulsh Glacier, Yukon, in the spring of 2016. In the summer of that year, artist K.A. Colorado accompanied geoscientists D.H. Shugar, J.J. Clague, and J.L. Best to the terminus of Kaskawulsh Glacier, as well as Kluane Lake downstream of the glacier, to document the landscape changes that occurred earlier in the year. The Boundary images were created as on-site, three-dimensional, artistic interpretations of the markedly changed boundaries that occurred as a result of climate-induced glacier retreat and the sudden subcontinental-scale reorganization of drainage. Both the scientific study conducted by the geomorphologists and the art installations created by the artist were performed simultaneously. The Boundary installation art project, together with satellite imagery and historical photographs, conveys the death of Slims River as a result of climate change.

Title: Interdisciplinary palimpsest: visual representations of coastal change combining digital craft and geomorphology
Abstract:
From rocks to clay, a shared interest in natural materials and their physical transformation provided the initial common ground for an interdisciplinary art-geoscience collaborative project that also opened up a novel and engaging public communication channel. Scientific data collected for a location-based geomorphology mapping project was collaboratively re-interpreted and re-presented as a craft installation by using digital technologies and hand-crafted processes. The project explored how creative practice can uncover and broaden narratives, layering interpretations whilst respecting and embracing the need for accurate visual representation of scientific data. As the practice-based element of a broader digital craft PhD research programme, the project effectively demonstrated an enlarged field of practice for digital craft. The collaboration resulted in a large-scale, porcelain panelled, wall-mounted installation for public exhibition and has led to subsequent significant unforeseen developments in the scope and outlook of research work undertaken by the collaborators. This paper reflects on the synergies between disciplines that were uncovered and how project challenges were met. We conclude that the project work acted as a ‘boundary object’ for the two collaborating parties, able to represent different values and fulfil different objectives for each party at the same time, while also moving forward practice for both.

Title: Malawi Stories: mapping an art-science collaborative process
Abstract:
This paper outlines a project drawing together an artist working on creative GIS, a geomatics scholar, an NGO leader, a rural geographer and soil scientist, an environmental geochemist, and a political geographer. With a shared interest in the social and physical processes affecting people’s lives in Malawi, and the possibilities for interdisciplinary collaboration, the team engaged in practice-based mapping of our data sources and respective methodologies. The project relates to two sites in Malawi: Tikondwe Freedom Gardens and the Likangala River. The paper details our practices as we shared, debated, and repurposed our data as a means of situating these practices and data. Using paper and pen, whiteboard, PowerPoint, and web-design software, we note here our effort to map a ‘space of experimentation’ highlighting, and reflecting on, our diverse disciplinary orientations, training, instrumentation, recording, and reporting procedures, as well as bodily practices that enable and give animation to these factors.

Title: Chasing the line: Hutton’s contribution to the invention of contours
Abstract:
This article describes one aspect of the history, invention and use of contour lines. We present a case that Charles Hutton – working for the Greenwich Royal Observatory – might have created one of the first accurate and useful contour maps, based on a survey of Schiehallion in Perthshire, Scotland. Hutton’s description of this map and his calculations (used to determine the density of the Earth) were published by the Royal Society in 1778. The map is missing; however, this paper provides all the information, based on the surveyors’ measurements, to create a fairly accurate contour map of Schiehallion. Our collaboration, between mathematician and artist, led to a visual reinterpretation of the data based on the original calculations in Hutton’s paper, and his other maps. In this article, we document our re-creation of the map of Schiehallion and subsequent and corresponding three-dimensional contour models of the mountain.

Title: ‘Reading landscape’: interdisciplinary approaches to understanding place
Abstract:
This paper outlines a collaborative project between a group of Fine Art and Geography students who helped develop and contribute to a conversation about recording ‘place’. Introducing methodologies from both disciplines, the project started from the premise of all environmental ‘recordings’ being ‘inputs’ and so questioned what could be defined as ‘data’ when encountering a location. Brunel’s Grand Entrance to the Thames Tunnel (London) provided the motivation for 10 objective and subjective ‘recordings’ which were subsequently distilled into a smaller subset and then used to produce a short film that was presented at an international conference. Important to the collaborative nature of the project were ongoing opportunities to share equipment, techniques, material and references across disciplines. It was an experiment to measure the potential for ‘mapping’ to capture physical and historical information, as well as embodied experience.

Title: Localisation of the painter’s canvas: landscape paintings from the Iron Mountains (Czech Republic)
Abstract:
Landscape has always been the focus of artistic interest. Landscape is also the object of research interest of geographers, and it offers a field for cooperation between art and geography. Our study focuses on landscape painting as an important source in identifying landscape changes. We focused on discovering the location where the painter placed his canvas. We used Czech landscape paintings from the end of the nineteenth century in the Iron Mountains. We have combined information about paintings and their authors with terrain analysis in GIS. We have carried out field research and consulted a painter to localise the locations where the landscapes were painted. Main map depicts the sites of selected landscape paintings from where the painters captured the image of the landscape. Our proposed combination of terrain analysis with the information about the paintings and the painters is a convenient way to identify the sites of the paintings.

Title: Geovisualization geoscience of large river floodplains
Abstract:
Alluvial river landscapes of the lower Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers in the south-central USA are flood prone and have shifted historically in position and form, resulting in interventions for flood reduction, navigation, and water supply. Fisk mapped these landscapes in the middle of the twentieth century as a series of artistic colourful map plates. Selected areas are revisited with modern data sets (LiDAR from 2003, hydrographic surveys from 2006 and 2007) including two sites along the Mississippi River (near the Old River juncture and near Morganza Floodway) and one in the middle Atchafalaya River. By using 2D and 3D geovisualization, we find that the extent, variety, and dimensions of anthropogenic landforms have grown in prominence since Fisk’s mapping. The volumes of the highest positive landforms are quantified to provide some indication of direct and indirect anthropogenic activity in these landscapes.

Title: Seeing double in art and geoscience: 3D aerial portraits of ‘lost’ Anthropocene landscapes
Abstract:
Relationships between humans and environments are deeply challenged by recognition of the Anthropocene, which implicates humans as major drivers of planetary-scale environmental changes. Responding to these challenges requires technical expertise, but also creativity in dealing with complex social, cultural and political relationships of place. This paper introduces Relief as an art project that repurposes historical aerial photographs for the creation of affective, low-tech 3D experiences of landscapes and their histories. The creation of these works, and the experience of viewing them, offer a process for witnessing change in the Anthropocene. Content and aesthetics bring viewers into different ways of seeing landscapes, with implications for outreach and communication, as well as approaches to situating science and scientist in relation to society, politics and place. This art project leads into discussion of human agents and non-human agents as co-producers of landscapes, and the opportunities for art and science to respond to environmental concerns.

Title: Geology of the late Pliocene – Pleistocene Acoculco caldera complex, eastern Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (México)
Abstract:
We present a new 1:80,000-scale geologic map of the Acoculco caldera (Ac) located between the states of Puebla and Hidalgo in eastern México. The map, encompassing an area of 856 km2, is grounded on an ArcMap data set and is supported by nine new 40Ar/39Ar dates. The caldera lies upon Cretaceous limestones and Miocene to Pliocene volcanic rocks (13–3 Ma). The caldera consists of 31 lithostatrigraphic units formed between 2.7 and 0.06 Ma that include a wide variety of volcanic landforms (cinder cones, lava domes). The caldera has a semi-circular shape (18–16 km) bounded by the Atotonilco scarp to the north, the NW–SE Manzanito fault to the west, and scattered vents to the east and southern parts. The distribution of the Acoculco ignimbrite, the lithic breccia, and lacustrine sediments define the caldera ring fault. Late Pleistocene activity and pervasive hydrothermal alteration suggest a high geothermal potential in the area.

Title: Geomorphology of the continental shelf of Tavolara Island (Marine Protected Area ‘Tavolara-Punta Coda Cavallo’ – Sardinia NE)
Abstract:
In this document a geological – geomorphological map in scale 1: 25,000 is presented. The study area is located inside the Protected Marine Area Tavolara – Punta Coda Cavallo, in north-eastern Sardinia. The study was done through integrated analysis of multibeam bathymetric and very high-resolution side scan sonar data, acquired in an area of 163 km2 with the purpose of mapping the main biocoenoses and with particular reference to the coralligenous bioconstructions and the distribution of Posidonia oceanica. The interpretative hypotheses, based on the analysis of geophysical data, have been validated through diving surveys. This map represents a fundamental knowledge base and it constitutes an important technical-scientific support for long-term planning and management of the studied seabed.

Title: Inventory of geo-hydrological phenomena in Genova municipality (NW Italy)
Abstract:
In Italy geo-hydrological phenomena are the most common hazards: every year landslides and floods cause damage and fatalities; Genova city is one of the most affected areas. Since 2000 scientific studies have demonstrated an increase in events, due to the rainfall regime variation and to the urbanization. Thematic maps are an essential tool for evaluating the interaction between geomorphological processes and the elements at risk. In the present work, we have prepared an original geo-hydrological phenomena inventory map of Genova at 1:45,000 scale (the ‘A1’ size). The map shows the floodable areas, landslides and deep-seated gravitational slope deformation, the urban fabric and the cultural heritage sites. The map gives an overview of the geo-hydrological phenomena through the integration of the different hazard sources, of the exposed elements and of their spatial distribution, allowing for a first analysis of the risk: in a 240 km2 area, more than 3600 residential buildings are located on the 4 km2 high hazard floodable areas and more than 360 on the about 500 active landslides.

Title: Geology of the eastern part of the Tso Morari nappe, the Nidar Ophiolite and the surrounding tectonic units (NW Himalaya, India)
Abstract:
The Tso Morari nappe is well known for having suffered ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism in the northwest Himalaya. Its pressure-temperature evolution has been widely studied and debated since the end of the 1990s. However, the lithostratigraphy, structures and metamorphism of the tectonic units around the Tso Morari nappe are poorly known, especially in the eastern part of the nappe. Here, a detailed geologic map based on recent field work is presented. The survey area is the eastern part of the ultrahigh-pressure Tso Morari nappe, the surrounding tectonic units and the Nidar Ophiolite.This map improves the knowledge of the geology and geometry of the North Indian continental plate and the ocean-derived units south of the Eurasian continent in eastern Ladakh. Knowledge of the present-day geometry will help to reconstruct the initial setting in the kinematic models of the formation and exhumation of the Tso Morari nappe in relation to its surrounding tectonic units.

Title: Morphological and geological features of Drake Passage, Antarctica, from a new digital bathymetric model
Abstract:
The Drake Passage is an oceanic gateway of about 850 km width located between South America and the Antarctic Peninsula that connects the southeastern Pacific Ocean with the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. It is an important gateway for mantle flow, oceanographic water masses, and migrations of biota. This sector developed within the framework of the geodynamic evolution of the Scotia Arc, including continental fragmentation processes and oceanic crust creation, since the oblique divergence of the South American plate to the north and the Antarctic plate to the south started in the Eocene. As a consequence of its complex tectonic evolution and subsequent submarine processes, as sedimentary infill and erosion mainly controlled by bottom currents and active tectonics, this region shows a varied physiography. We present a detailed map of the bathymetry and geological setting of the Drake Passage that is mainly founded on a new compilation of precise multibeam bathymetric data obtained on 120 cruises between 1992 and 2015, resulting in a new Digital Bathymetric Model with 200 × 200 m cell spacing. The map covers an area of 1,465,000 km2 between parallels 52°S and 63°S and meridians 70°W and 50°W at scale 1:1,600,000 allowing the identification of the main seafloor features. In addition, the map includes useful geological information related to magnetism, seismicity and tectonics. This work constitutes an international cooperative effort and is part of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean project, under the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research umbrella.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Gaick, Central Grampians, Scotland
Abstract:
The Gaick is an enigmatic glaciated landscape in the Central Grampians, Scotland, dominated by an expansive dissected plateau. Previous studies have postulated widely differing interpretations of the glacial landforms and current understanding of the glacial events in this area is partly restricted by the absence of detailed glacial geomorphological mapping. To address this issue, we present a comprehensive 1: 46,000-scale glacial geomorphological map, covering an area of ∼520 km2. A combination of detailed field mapping and interpretation of aerial photographs and Digital Surface Models (DSMs) has revealed a variety of glacial, periglacial and fluvial landforms, including an abundance of moraines and meltwater channels within valleys. We also identify a glacial sediment-landform assemblage, dissected glaciogenic material, that has not previously been reported in the Scottish Highlands. The geomorphological map provides the necessary foundation for elucidating the extent, dynamics and timing of former glaciation in the area.

Title: A low-cost and repeatable procedure for modelling the regional distribution of Natura 2000 terrestrial habitats
Abstract:
The present paper describes a procedure for mapping the distribution of Natura 2000 terrestrial habitats (Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC) at the regional scale (Lombardy, Northern Italy) by means of open-source software (QGIS and R). The habitat map within Natura 2000 sites was used for modelling the regional distribution of three selected habitats, by applying classification trees on freely available and fine-scale resolution environmental layers. Land use and forest type maps were combined to refine the regional distribution of selected habitats. The statistical validation showed a fairly substantial overall accuracy of predicted habitat distribution, which was used to determine the regional extent of the habitats and to evaluate the regional effectiveness of Natura 2000 network. We provide an easy and inexpensive procedure, replicable in other contexts in which just basic information on Natura 2000 terrestrial habitats are available, and usable for habitats monitoring according to the Habitats Directive.

Title: Historical land use and land cover for assessing the northern Colorado Front Range urban landscape
Abstract:
We describe historical land-use and land-cover (LULC) maps for the northern Colorado urban Front Range. The Front Range urban landscape is diverse and interspersed with highly productive agriculture, as well as natural land cover types including evergreen forest in the Rocky Mountain foothills and Great Plains grassland. To understand the dynamics of urban growth, raster maps were created at a 1-meter resolution for each of four time steps, nominally 1937, 1957, 1977, and 1997. In total, 38 detailed LULC classes were identified using manual interpretation techniques, aerial photographs, historical maps, and other available information. The maps provide high-resolution spatial data for understanding the historical progression of urbanization and will allow further analysis of the effects of urban growth on social and ecological systems.

Title: Geomorphology of the Upper General River Basin, Costa Rica
Abstract:
In spite of the geomorphological diversity of Central America and Costa Rica, there are few detailed geomorphological maps. A 1:25,000 scale map of the Upper General River Basin (UGRB) in Costa Rica is presented, based on the interpretation of aerial photographs and field geomorphological mapping. A total of 43 types of landforms divided genetically into endogenic (tectonic features), and exogenic (fluvial, gravitational, and glacial features) are mapped for an area of 1560 km2. This cartography is important in terms of disaster prevention and mitigation (floods and hillslope processes), as well as for land use planning.

Title: The composite Sierra Bermeja Pluton (southern Iberian Massif): science, heritage and geoconservation
Abstract:
The Sierra Bermeja Pluton (∼60 km2 surface area) exemplifies a type of controversial granites of the Iberian Massif (European Variscan Belt), the cordierite-bearing ‘Serie Mixta’ (mixed series) monzogranites. The pluton is included almost completely in the Cornalvo Natural Park (Badajoz, Spain), a relevant target area in Roman times. The geological mapping summarised in the presented map at 1:10,000 scale has revealed a complex intrusive assemblage. Three main cordierite-bearing monzogranite types that show local varieties constitute most of the massif. Monzogranite intrusions are younger towards the centre of the pluton and gave rise to outstanding mappable mingling/mixing zones in some areas. A NE–SW trending reduced dyke complex composed by vaugnerite series rocks, lamprophyres, aplites and quartz dykes, completes the lithological assemblage of the pluton. An inventory of Geologic Points of Interest to promote the geological knowledge of this remarkable protected area and its geoconservation is also presented.

Title: Geomorphology of the northern sector of the Alfambra-Teruel depression (Iberian ranges, NE Spain)
Abstract:
The area of Alfambra (NE Spain) is very representative of the relief evolution of the Eastern Iberian ranges. The geomorphological cartography (Main Map) includes the northern sector of the Alfambra-Teruel Neogene depression and its mountainous surroundings. The cartographic process started by using aerial photographs (1:30000 scale) and fieldwork. The structural reliefs, erosion surfaces, karst landforms, Quaternary pediments and terraces, and fluvial network are represented over a lithological background. The main cartography is complemented with two maps of lithological and geomorphological units. The obtained information enabled the main geological and geomorphological stages of the regional relief to be established.

Title: Land Capability for Agriculture, Hermel District, Lebanon
Abstract:
For the purpose of mapping land capability by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) criteria, this paper presents a validated model to map land capability at a scale of 1:20,000 using a digital elevation model and the available soil information for Hermel District (525.6 km2) in Lebanon. The model was validated through fieldwork and it indicates a good overall accuracy of 89% and the significance of the model for mapping land capability at a district level. The study shows that 11.5 km2 (2.2%), 284.6 km2 (54.2%), 66.8 km2 (12.7%), 147.9 km2 (28.1%) and 14.9 km2 (2.8%) of the region were categorized in I, II, III, IV, and V land classes respectively. The comparison between the zoning map already produced for Hermel city and the land capability map demonstrates that the land use patterns need to be modified according to identified land capability classes to sustain the remaining productive lands for future generations.

Title: Landslide inventory and main geomorphological features affecting slope stability in the Picentino river basin (Campania, southern Italy)
Abstract:
The landslide inventory of the Picentino basin was realized at 1:25,000, with focus on main geomorphological features affecting slope stability. It is based on different sets of air-photos (scales 1:33,000–1:18,000, dated up to 1998), and on field surveys. Among shallow landslides, channelized debris flows strongly prevail, originated as debris slides on moderately steep slopes. Further sectors are affected by deeper slope movements of greater extent. Items related to tectonics, erosion processes, and anthropized sectors are also mapped. Relevant predisposing factors to slope instability are shown in 1:100,000 thematic maps. In addition, shallow landslides of the 1998 inventory were compared to those derived from two event-based inventories (PSAI 2002, PSAI 2011, dated 1998–2005 at 1:13,000–1:10,000). Discrepancies are mainly ascribable to types of employed air-photos, age of surveys, scale of mapping, and freshness of forms, remarking the relevance of suitable shallow-landslide inventories for susceptibility evaluations.

Title: Little Ice Age glacial systems and related natural instability processes in the Orco Valley (North-Western Italy)
Abstract:
Glaciated and recently (post-Little Ice Age) deglaciated areas are very dynamic environments, undergoing continuous changes, in particular as a consequence of climatic fluctuations and cryosphere changes. The intense geomorphic activity that takes place here conditions natural hazard, sediment transport and tourist fruition. A geo-morphological mapping with applicative purposes has to take into account the peculiarities and the dynamism of these specific areas. We here propose a methodological approach based on the interpretation of a multitemporal set of aerial photos (from 1983 to 2012), in a GIS environment, with application to the sectors modeled by Little Ice Age glaciers in the upper Orco Valley (NW Italy). The result is a geo-morphological map focused on the elements that are most relevant for application purposes, complemented by a map of the spatio-temporal distribution of the natural instability processes identified in the study area for the reference period, aimed to highlight the recent dynamism of the geomorphological elements in the map.

Title: Seabed classification around Lampione islet, Pelagie Islands Marine Protected area, Sicily Channel, Mediterranean Sea
Abstract:
We present the first seabed map of the shallow-water areas of Lampione, the islet of the Pelagie Islands Marine Protected Area (Sicily Channel, Italy). The seafloor was mapped from the coast to a depth of about 75 m, using high-resolution multibeam systems (both for bathymetry and backscatter) along with ground-truth data in the form of grab samples and ROV video-observations. By integrating these original data, a first seabed classification was produced through the use of the Remote Sensing Object Based Image Analysis, a semi-automatic segmentation approach. The resulting 1: 5.000 scale map includes sediment types and habitat distribution contributing to the knowledge of the peculiar marine ecosystem observed at Lampione. In particular, the map provides the first indication of the wide occurrence of rhodolith/maërl habitats at Lampione, which are among the most important ecosystems in the Mediterranean Sea.

Title: Geomorphology, beach classification and seasonal morphodynamic transition of a Mediterranean gravel beach (Sardinia, Gulf of Cagliari)
Abstract:
This paper presents an innovative multi-thematic map (1:2500) that integrates morpho-sedimentological data, hydrodynamic processes, seasonal morphodynamic transitions and the distribution of the benthic habitat of a Mediterranean microtidal, wave-dominated gravel beach system. It is part of a larger cartography of coastal areas, and is based on an interdisciplinary sea-land approach that is applicable worldwide and aims to facilitate coastal management practices and future scientific research. The applications to coastal management include: the facilitation of coastal vulnerability assessments; easy-to-access, up-to-date digital geospatial data; and baseline studies for the future assessment and monitoring of environmental changes.The main environmental features that control the marine processes of this gravel beach appear to be linked to geological and morphological contexts such as the presence of the river mouth, the outcropping of a beach-rock along the coastline, the deposition of gravelly sediment in the beachface and the seagrass cover.

Title: Geomorphology of Tafi valley (Tucumán Province, Northwest Argentina)
Abstract:
Tafí valley is an elongated tectonic basin of about 450 km2 located in NW Argentina in a mountainous frame of metamorphic and granitic Precambrian-Paleozoic rocks belonging to Sierras Pampeanas. This study presents the first detailed geomorphological map of the area. The most representative landforms date to the Lateglacial-Holocene, with four differentiating aggradative units separated by incision phases. Among these phases, it is possible to identify the units H1 (Lateglacial-Early and Middle Holocene) and H2 (Upper Holocene until ca. 600 cal BP). These units are composed of slopes, fluvial terraces, and alluvial fans, forming a coupled system. In some areas, this system is complemented with fluvioglacial and glacial landforms. More recent units (H3 and H4), together with active processes, contribute to the great variety of morphologies represented in the area.

Title: Geomorphology of the Inskip Peninsula, Queensland, Australia
Abstract:
The Inskip Peninsula is the link between two major coastal dune fields; Fraser Island (the world’s largest sand island) and the adjacent Cooloola Sand Mass. There has been a notable lack of research into the geomorphology of the sand masses and the relationship between the two dunefields. This paper presents a detailed geomorphological map of the Inskip Peninsula at a scale of 1:10,000. The Peninsula can be divided into three parts; an eastern section dominated by late Holocene strandlines and foredunes with an active spit at the northern limit of the peninsula; a central zone composed of broader foredune ridges and swales and an eastern zone comprised of remnants of older parabolic sand dunes and foredune remnants. The map provides a framework for ongoing work on landscape reconstruction.

Title: Geology of the central part of the Amatrice Basin (Central Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
A 1:5,000 scale geological map and 31 geological cross-sections are presented for the surroundings of Amatrice village (central Apennines, Italy), epicentral area of the first damaging earthquake of the 2016–2017 seismic sequence. This detailed geological dataset focuses on: (i) the extent, the thickness, and the internal stratigraphic architecture of the Quaternary continental deposits; (ii) the bedding and the thickness of the Miocene substratum; and (iii) the spatial distribution of the main fault systems. The provided dataset would update the available regional geological maps in deciphering the syn-to-post-orogenic history of the Amatrice Basin. Eventually, the accuracy of the geological mapping would represent a basic tool for interpreting and integrating the multidisciplinary dataset deriving from post-seismic activities.

Title: A combined approach for a modern hydrogeological mapping: the case study of Tennacola stream catchment (central Apennine, Italy)
Abstract:
The current European water legislation, specifically the one addressed to groundwater for human consumption (EU Water Framework Directive, WFD-2000/60/EC), provides clear indications on the objectives and actions to be taken for the proper management and protection of water resources. In Italy, as well as in other countries of the EU, the implementation of this Directive, in the face of an adjustment of the legislation at national level, is still far behind, as regards the obligations on the part of local administrations. Among the reasons there is a lack of cognitive tools, adequate and, above all, univocally accepted by the scientific point of view. The hydrogeological mapping here presented, which covers an area of around 44 km2 and is edited at 1:10,000 scale, goes in this direction, combining different approaches and methodologies (field surveys, spring hydrograph analysis, surface flow measurements, numerical models …) to arrive at a complete and functional study of an aquifer exploited for drinking purposes.

Title: Living at the wadi – integrating geomorphology and archaeology at the oasis of Qurayyah (NW Arabia)
Abstract:
The archaeological site Qurayyah, situated in the NW of the Tabuk Province of Saudi Arabia, has been repeatedly described as one of the largest and most significant oases of Northwestern Arabia. Human occupation in the oasis started at least from the early Holocene and continued to the Nabatean, Roman and late Byzantine period. The hydrologically favored position results from its specific geomorphological location where the plateaus fade towards the east and the landscape opens towards the Tabuk Basin so that a balanced water supply was ensured. We present a geomorphological map (1:20,000; main map) based on the interpretation of a high-resolution satellite image and detailed control in the field. The map integrates archaeological, hydraulic and natural features in order to show how the people at Qurayyah structured their landscape and developed water management strategies in relation to prevailing geomorphological processes during the incipient phase (Bronze Age) of the oasis.

Title: Geology of the late Pleistocene Tres Vírgenes Volcanic Complex, Baja California Sur (México)
Abstract:
The geological map of the Tres Vírgenes Volcanic Complex (TVVC) Baja California Sur, México consists of three northeast-southwest aligned stratovolcanoes named from older to younger, El Viejo, El Azufre, and La Virgen. The map (scale 1:20,000) comprises an area of 856 km2 edited on an ArcMap data set. The map compiles previous studies combined with new mapping and stratigraphy supported by 5 new 230Th/U geochronology in zircons. The TVVC sits on top of Cretaceous granite, Cenozoic volcaniclastics, the Esperanza basalt (7.64 Ma), and the Aguajito ignimbrite (1.17 Ma). The TVVC commenced its activity around 300 ka by constructing El Viejo volcano, followed by El Azufre volcano (∼173–128 ka), la Virgen scoria cones (∼128–112 ka), and La Virgen stratovolcano (∼112–22 ka). The La Virgen volcano emplaced the La Virgen rhyolitic tephra (∼31 ka), and the Upper Andesite lavas (∼22 ka).

Title: Geomorphology of the Ubiñas Massif, Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain (1:22,000)
Abstract:
A Geomorphological Map of the Ubiñas Massif, Cantabrian Mountains, at a scale 1:22,000 and covering 94.52 km2, is presented. The ‘Natural Park of Las Ubiñas-La Mesa’, a completely deglaciated glaciokarst, containing the highest peaks in this part of the Cantabrian Mountains, has been also declared ‘Biosphere Reserve’ by UNESCO. A previous geomorphological map (13.17 km2), recording glacial and periglacial, karst, slope, fluvial and anthropic features, is now enlarged to include the whole massif. An initial analysis of the present map, planned as a basic instrument to fulfil the needs of no particular end-users, provides information about rock avalanches during glaciation, preglacial deposits, and the absence of rock glaciers formed by calcareous debris, among other characteristics of the area. This cartography, considered as a fundamental base for environmental management, could be employed as a basis document to obtain other geomorphological derived maps.

Title: Monthly RUSLE soil erosion risk of Swiss grasslands
Abstract:
This study presents the first mapping of soil erosion risk modelling based on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) at a sub-annual (monthly) temporal resolution and national scale (100 m spatial resolution). The monthly maps show highest water erosion rates on Swiss grasslands in August (1.25 t ha–1 month–1). In summer, the mean monthly soil loss by water erosion is 48 times higher than the mean soil loss in winter. Considering the annual average fraction of green vegetation cover of 54%, the predicted soil erosion rate for the Swiss national grassland area would add up to a total eroded soil mass of 5.26 Mt yr–1. The RUSLE application with an intact 100% vegetation cover would largely reduce the soil loss to an average annual rate of 0.14 t ha–1 year–1. These findings clearly highlight the importance to consider and maintain the current status of the vegetation cover for soil erosion prediction and soil conservation, respectively.

Title: Morphotectonics of the Tasso Stream - Sagittario River valley (Central Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
This work presents the morphotectonic map of the Tasso Stream-Sagittario River valley, located in the Central Abruzzo area (Marsica region), in one of the areas of highest average elevation in the Apennines chain between two main intermontane basins (i.e. the Sulmona basin and Fucino basin). It is bounded by one of the main drainage divides of Central Italy, separating the Adriatic side of the Apennines from the large endorheic Fucino area. The morphotectonic map of the Sagittario River valley is the result of an geomorphological analysis of the drainage at the basin scale in Central Italy and incorporates three main sections: orography and hydrography (upper right on the map), the main morphotectonic map (center and left on the map), and the morphotectonic profile section (lower on the map). This map provides a basis for the recognition of morphotectonic features at the basin scale, the detection of tectonic vs. surface processes’ control on the landscape, and the reconstruction of the landscape evolution of the Sagittario gorges, one of the main gorges incising the carbonate ridges of the Apennines. It contributes to defining the main phases of the Quaternary landscape evolution of the inner mountain landscape of the Apennines, resulting from the combination of alternating morphotectonics (i.e. rock uplift and local tectonics) and surface processes (i.e. slope, karst, glacial and fluvial processes).

Title: Paleotopography and anthropogenic deposition thickness of the city of Aachen, Germany
Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to reconstruct the pre-Roman topography under the city of Aachen, Germany. Aachen has a 2000-year settlement history, and enormous amounts of anthropogenic deposits have accumulated during this time; these deposits are thus also visualized. The key data used are archeological excavation records and geological drilling documents that contain elevation and spatial data, and the Kriging algorithm was used to interpolate these data to produce two high-resolution raster datasets showing both the paleotopography and thickness of anthropogenic deposits. The paleo-DEM was then employed to reconstruct the course of former streams running through the study area. This research provides new insights into the topographic preconditions encountered by the first Roman settlers. As the accumulation of anthropogenic deposits in distinct areas of the city is linked to specific historical periods, the results also reveal the developmental stages of the ancient city.

Title: Biophysical landscapes of the Ejido Tzurumútaro, Michoacán, Mexico
Abstract:
The Ejido of Tzurumútaro is within the municipality of Pátzcuaro in the central part of the state of Michoacán, Mexico. An ejido is an agrarian settlement with a community-based land tenure system, which is common in Mexico. The Ejido of Tzurumútaro in particular, has a historical significance in the Lake of Pátzcuaro region, because it played an important role during the post-revolutionary land reform. The objective of this study is to describe the structure of the biophysical landscapes of this agrarian settlement. To accomplish this, biblio-cartographic data collection of biophysical components was done, which included information on geology, lithology, hydrology, climate, and pedology. Three taxonomic units were defined; specifically, five superior units or localities; nine Land areas and 30 Sub-land areas. Landscapes of volcanic origin are widely prevalent, although geo-systems of river and lake origin are also present. The map constitutes an important basic information basis on landscape units.

Title: Geology of the southern Monviso metaophiolite complex (W-Alps, Italy)
Abstract:
The Monviso metaophiolite complex (W. Alps) is an almost intact fragment of Tethyan oceanic lithosphere metamorphosed to eclogite-facies peak metamorphic conditions during Alpine subduction. This 1:20.000 scale geological map encompasses, in an area of ∼35 km2, the Monviso Unit (MU) and the Lago Superiore Unit (LSU). Major focus was given to the Lower Shear Zone sub-unit (LSZ), where in the strongly deformed serpentinite-rich matrix are embedded blocks of variably brecciated metagabbros. Here, the occurrence of eclogite-facies mylonitic foliation (paragenesis: omphacite + rutile + garnet ± ex-lawsonite ± quartz) cut by breccia planes (cemented by omphacite + garnet ± ex-lawsonite) indicates brecciation at pristine eclogitic conditions. This map (i) provides new lithological, structural and morphological insights regarding the stratigraphy of the Monviso metaophiolite complex and (ii) supplies an unprecedented detail on the distribution of eclogite-facies breccia blocks inside the Lower Shear Zone that crosscuts the Lago Superiore Unit.

Title: Geological tourist mapping of the Mount Serrone fault Geosite (Gioia dei Marsi, Central Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
The Geological tourist map of the Mount Serrone fault Geosite (Gioia dei Marsi, Italy) has been realized for describing, in an educational perspective, the surface expression of one of the main active faults of the Central Apennines, connected with the 1915 Fucino earthquake (magnitude 7, historically, one of the strongest in Italy). The Central Apennines are a mountain range whose landscape is deeply connected to active tectonics and seismicity, as documented by recent earthquakes. In this framework, the map is a useful tool for the dissemination of the geological knowledge of the Fucino area and faults in general and for the promotion of a geological landscape through a modern, sustainable and environmentally aware tourism. The map is double-sided with simple texts and cartoons on the front outlining general info about the geosite, faults and earthquakes, how to behave in seismic areas and historical notes. The back shows the Main Map with its visual legend featuring the main geological and tectonic elements of the Mount Serrone fault Geosite and the long term history of the landscape. Through simple keywords and concepts, tectonics, faults and earthquakes are shown to be natural features that have contributed to shape the landscape of the Apennines over geological time, as well as something to be afraid and worried of, as they are connected to natural hazard and disasters. This approach is aimed at increasing people's awareness of geological processes and hazards (i.e. seismic), which with adequate knowledge and proper land management, can be lived with.

Title: Flooding, channel dynamics and transverse infrastructure: a challenge for Middle Ebro river management
Abstract:
This study documents the impacts of engineering works on flood risk and channel dynamics of the maximum geomorphic flow reach of the Middle Ebro River (Spain) over the last ninety years. The map reveals how the construction of transversal transport lines and their ineffective design and maintenance has contributed to an elevated risk of flooding and channel avulsion at this location. In addition, the development of flood protection structures has restricted the natural dynamics of the river. These modifications have restricted the passage of flood waters, ultimately increasing flood hazards, by changing the area and depth of inundation and extending the flood hydrograph. The map allows for the interpretation of key processes, forecasting of flood hazards, and the evaluation of possible mitigating actions. These findings reconfirm that reducing space for the mobility of a river is not a good management solution and further aggravates the current situation.

Title: Geology and stratigraphy of the Mexico Basin (Mexico City), central Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt
Abstract:
We present a new geological map of the Mexico Basin (Mexico City) based on field descriptions, a compilation of data from previous publications, and new 40Ar/39Ar geochronology data. The oldest rocks described in the Mexico Basin are Cretaceous limestones, overlaid by Oligocene (26.0 Ma) and Miocene (22.8–5.0 Ma) volcanic successions, followed by Pliocene-Pleistocene (3.7–1.2 Ma) to Recent volcanic rocks around the basin. The Mexico basin is surrounded by volcanic ranges mainly andesitic and dacitic in composition: Sierra de Guadalupe (∼20 to ∼13 Ma), Sierra de las Cruces (3.7–0.03 Ma), Sierra Nevada (1.4 Ma to Recent), and Sierra de Chichinautzin (1.2 Ma to Recent). The basin has formed and evolved through complex tectonic and volcanic events: A NNW and NNE-Cañón de Lobos trending reverse fault affected the Cretaceous basement, the NW-SE Mixhuca normal fault displaced Oligocene-Miocene volcanics, the NE-SW Tenochtitlan fault system displaced Plio-Pleistocene rocks, and finally E-W normal faults affected the most recent volcanic rocks, paleosols, and lacustrine sediments.

Title: Shallow landslide susceptibility, Rupinaro catchment, Liguria (northwestern Italy)
Abstract:
The shallow landslides assessment is a hard task in territories featuring composite influence of natural and anthropic factors. In Liguria region (northwestern Italy), the landscape presents widespread human intervention prevalently represented by terraces. The assessment of predisposing factors in such landscape deserve a multidisciplinary approach. We implemented a classification methodology based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process. In GIS environment we overlaid several layers: (i) slope, (ii) land use, (iii) lithology, and (iv) aspect. Slope and aspect have been computed on a filtered (based on TPI) high-resolution DTM with the removal of terraces, in order to obtain the pristine slope pattern. Each spatial data was then reclassified according to the weighting procedures thus producing a landslide susceptibility map. This methodology represents a starting point for the correct assessment of shallow landslides occurrence, capable to generate a map, taking in account of the peculiar features of this extremely man-made territory.

Title: Geometry and paleo-ice content of rock glaciers in the southeastern Alps (NE Italy – NW Slovenia)
Abstract:
Rock glaciers in the southeastern Alps of Slovenia and Italy have been mapped in detail using high resolution digital elevation model and orthophotos, supported by field-based observations. A total of 52 rock glaciers with an area of 3.40 km2 have been delineated on a rock glacier map, divided in 18 sections at a scale of 1:15,000. Several geometrical parameters of rock glaciers have been calculated and their activity degree has been inferred. 90% of rock glaciers have been classified as relict, while the rest are assumed to be of uncertain activity and might still contain some ice. The volumetric ice content and water volume equivalent of the studied rock glaciers for the period of their activity has been calculated to 0.055 ± 0.011 km3 and 0.049 ± 0.010 km3, respectively, which is very close to the ice volume of glaciers reconstructed for this area during the little ice age to 0.069 km3.

Title: Assessment of soil erosion risk in a typical Mediterranean environment using a high resolution RUSLE approach (Portofino promontory, NW-Italy)
Abstract:
Particularly the Liguria region in Northern Italy is highly affected by soil erosion processes. This study was conducted in the Portofino promontory in eastern Liguria, to predict potential annual soil loss using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). Moreover, we evaluate the relative accuracy of the predictions at detailed scale, using high resolution spatial information for model calibration. The RUSLE factors were calculated for the study area based on terrain survey data and rain gauge measurements. The results were plotted on a 1:10,000 scale soil erosion map and subsequently compared with the European soil loss estimation method (RUSLE2015) developed by the European Joined Research Centre. This study shows that the RUSLE2015 model can be applied in a typical Mediterranean environment such as the Portofino promontory. However, the accuracy of the single factors we calculated using high resolution data sets might improve the results substantially and thus, also model efficiency.

Title: Geomorphology of the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica
Abstract:
Costa Rica’s Caribbean coastline is the result of a complex tectonic setting coupled with dynamic geological, climatological, hydrological and ecological processes. Despite their importance in risk prevention and in land use planning, geomorphological maps at detailed scales are scarce in Costa Rica. A geomorphology map of 210 km of the Caribbean coastline was produced at a scale of 1: 25,000 with a 1: 50,000 scale output map. Eleven landforms were mapped and described based upon their morphogenesis (i.e. tectonic, volcanic, fluvial and/or coastal). This work is an important base for coastal management, and is a compilation of the best existing knowledge of the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.

Title: Role of structural inheritance in the gravitational deformation of the Monviso meta-ophiolite Complex: the Pui-Orgiera serpentinite landslide (Varaita Valley, Western Alps)
Abstract:
Depending on its chemical and mineralogical composition, the serpentinite represents a peculiar rocky material, which plays a significant role in influencing pedogenetic weathering, vegetation ecology, geo-mechanical and tectonic processes, as well as gravitational slope failure. In serpentinite-bearing environments the response to gravitational stress is more effective than in other rock types. In the Monviso meta-ophiolite Complex (Western Alps), a close relation between landsliding and serpentinite rock occurrences is particularly evident. Our geological map (Main Map), at a scale 1:10,000, illustrates the geology and geomorphological features of the Pui-Orgiera giant (2.98 km2) complex landslide, located on the southern slope of the Monviso Massif. This map clearly documents that the characteristics and kinematics of the landslide are closely associated to the anomalous thickening and widening increase of the Baracun Shear Zone, a remnants of an intra-oceanic detachment fault which separates serpentinite and meta-intrusives from metabasalt and metasediments of the Monviso meta-ophiolite Complex.

Title: Litho-structure of the Oltrepo Pavese, Northern Apennines (Italy)
Abstract:
In this article we present a detailed litho-structural map of the Oltrepo Pavese, a sector of the Northern Apennines, Southern Lombardy, Italy. Lithology and geological structures are an important basis for different disciplines of Earth Sciences. In particular, for the assessment of earth surface processes such as soil erosion, mass movements, flooding, etc. The Oltrepo Pavese is characterised by a complex geology and related tectonic settings. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive lithological mapping approach considering existing geological maps, and detailed field surveys. The lithotypes have been subdivided into 11 classes based on the dominant outcropping lithologies. Integrating bibliographic data and a detailed Digital Terrain Analysis of a high-resolution DTM (5 m) we detected faults, folds and tectonic lineaments in the study area. The final result is represented by a litho-structural map of the Oltrepo Pavese-area, consisting in two shape files elaborated in an open source GIS environment.

Title: Allostratigraphy and paleontology of the lower Miocene Chilcatay Formation in the Zamaca area, East Pisco basin, southern Peru
Abstract:
Based on mapping of laterally traceable stratigraphic discontinuities, we propose a high-resolution allostratigraphic scheme for one of the world’s foremost fossil marine vertebrate Lagerstätten: the lower Miocene strata of the Chilcatay Formation exposed along the Ica River near Zamaca, southern Peru. Measured sections combined with 1:10,000 scale mapping of a 24 km2 area provide an overview of the stratal architecture, as well as a general facies framework and interpretation of the various depositional settings. As a whole, the Chilcatay alloformation is bounded by the CE0.1 unconformity at the base and the PE0.0 unconformity at the top. An internal Chilcatay surface, termed CE0.2, splits the alloformation into two distinct allomembers (Ct1 and Ct2). The Ct1 allomember comprises three facies associations recording deposition in shoreface, offshore, and subaqueous delta settings. The Ct2 allomember comprises two facies associations, recording deposition in shoreface and offshore settings. Using these data, we place the rich marine vertebrate assemblage in a precise spatial and stratigraphic framework. The well-diversified vertebrate assemblage is dominated by cetaceans (mostly odontocetes) and sharks (mostly lamniforms and carcharhiniforms); rays, bony fish, and turtles are also present. Taxonomic novelties include the first records of baleen whales, platanistids, and eurhinodelphinids from the Chilcatay Formation.

Title: Geology of the Central Sivas Basin (Turkey)
Abstract:
This paper presents a revised geological map at the 1/50,000 scale of the Central Sivas Basin together with a synthetic stratigraphic chart and cross-sections. The map covers an area of approximately 9840 km² within the Eastern Anatolian orogen. The structure of the studied area is dominated by three major tectonic domains: (i) to the south, a north-verging thrust wedge involving Maastrichtian – Eocene sediments deposited onto an ophiolitic basement, (ii) in the center an Oligo-Miocene domain shaped by salt tectonics detached above the thrust wedge, along a late Eocene salt layer, and, (iii) to the north the Pliocene depocenter onlapping onto the Kırşehir basement. The central halokinetic domain exhibits two generations of minibasins (respectively, early Oligocene and late Oligocene to late Miocene), separated by an evaporite canopy. The map includes new stratigraphic correlations for the pre-salt stratigraphy and improve the comprehension of the southern fold-and-thrust-belt.

Title: Changes in forest cover in Sierra Nevada, Mexico, 1994–2015
Abstract:
Sierra Nevada, 153,437 ha, has the second and third highest mountains in Mexico and the most conserved coniferous forests of central Mexico. It comprises the Los Volcanes Biosphere Reserve, designated by UNESCO in 2010. A map was produced at 1:100,000 scale. Recent changes in forest cover were identified by visual interpretation of orthophotographs from 1994 and Spot 7 images from 2015. Changes were detected in forest cover density (closed, semi-closed, semi-open, open or deforested), together with a non-forest category that includes other land uses. Over the 21 years, 25% of the forest had undergone change: 14% recovery and 11% disturbance. Recovery outweighed disturbance in the Protected Areas, with possible factors being payment for environmental services, periodic reforestation and fire control. Outside this protected area, improvement outweighed degradation, mainly because of forestry programs. Overall in the Sierra Nevada, the trend appears to be forest recovery.

Title: Water in most important towns of the Czech Republic
Abstract:
An analysis of surface water presence of one hundred most important towns of the Czech Republic has been conducted with respect to their proportion to town area. The results of the analysis, which was performed on the basis of data from specialised water management database, were visualised in a poster clearly showing ‘blue areas’ in given towns. In relation to the visualisation purpose, which was the comparison of towns, the towns were presented so that their area was identical. The order of towns in the poster was established in accordance with the representation of blue areas. As supplementary information, the total area of blue areas per capita was displayed in visual form. The poster is accompanied by a map showing the location of the towns within the Czech Republic.

Title: Geomorphology of the coastal alluvial fan complex Guanillos, northern Chile
Abstract:
The evolution of alluvial fans on the narrow coastal plain of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile is so far poorly investigated. Therefore, a detailed geomorphological map at a scale of 1:7500 of a coastal alluvial fan complex at Guanillos (21°58′S, 70°10.5′W) is provided as a first step to understand the fan’s morphogenesis. Geomorphological mapping was based on a digital elevation model with a resolution of 2 m generated from Pleiades-1 tri-stereo satellite imagery, derived terrain parameters, and on-site field mapping. The resultant map is used to characterize and categorize the overall morphology of the alluvial fan complex. In particular, linear features constructed by primary alluvial fan processes can be differentiated successfully from those developed by secondary processes. Furthermore, the advanced evolutionary state of the fan complex is revealed. We introduce a morphostratigraphic model comprising the fan’s prograde evolution, dissection, and successive abandonment of surface generations.

Title: Hydrogeology of a high Alpine carbonate aquifer (Pale di San Martino, Dolomites, Northern Italy)
Abstract:
A 1:50,000 hydrogeological map of the Pale di San Martino Mountains (Northern Italy) was created. The map presents the merge of various pre-existing data with new field data collected between the years 2014 and 2016. Through the use of symbols and specific colours, the map shows various groundwater-related data such as the hydrogeological complexes, the location and size of the main springs, the extension of the recharge areas, the hydrogeological boundaries, as well as information on groundwater usage. Given the absence of hydrogeological maps in the entire mountain range of the Dolomites, the approach followed in this study could be used as a guide for future representations in this alpine region. At the local scale, the map could serve as a conceptual base for future research involving groundwater and for water management planning.

Title: Detailed alluvial fan geomorphology in a high-arctic periglacial environment, Svalbard: application of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys
Abstract:
A 1:850 detailed map of the geomorphology of the Dynamisk Creek alluvial fan on Svalbard was produced based on very high-resolution data collected using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in 2014. The map documents features within the surface of the fan (0.35 km2), emphasizing their relative temporal activity. Fluvial flows were the most important geomorphological processes responsible for aggradation and modification of the fan surface. However, at present most of the fan area is inactive (about 75% of the whole fan surface) and stabilized by vegetation and mosses. Furthermore, in some places, niveo-aeolian (6% of the fan surface) and snow avalanches (1.5% of the fan surface) deposits have been noticed. In addition to the map, detailed morphometric characteristics of the fan and its catchment are also provided. The presented work illustrates the enormous usefulness of small UAVs for the study of fan surfaces in periglacial environments.

Title: Geology of the Alpha Regio (V-32) Quadrangle, Venus
Abstract:
We present a 1:2,500,000 geological map of the Alpha Regio (V-32) quadrangle, Venus. The V-32 quadrangle extends from 0° to 25 S, 0°to 30° E with an area of approximately 7,600,000 km2. Geological mapping was conducted using full resolution (maximum 75 m/pixel) SAR, altimetry and stereo-derived topography data from NASA's Magellan mission in ArcGIS 10.5. Nearly 40,000 lineaments were mapped. The oldest unit, tessera terrain, is present in two major regions: Alpha Regio and Minu-Anni Tessera. Two major fracture belts, both oriented approximately NNW-SSE, and four minor fracture belts have been identified and characterized. Two previously unrecognized wrinkle ridge trends of radiating and circumferential orientation have also been identified in the northeastern corner of the quadrangle. A total of 77 geological units were mapped. Plains material, previously mapped as global regional plains units, was divided into 27 units. Earlier estimates of the diameters of several coronae have been extended by hundreds of kilometres.

Title: Geology of La Reforma caldera complex, Baja California, Mexico
Abstract:
A new geological map at 1:50,000 scale of La Reforma Caldera Complex has been produced applying modern survey methodologies to volcanic areas. This map aims to represent a reliable and objective tool to understand the geological evolution of the region. La Reforma Caldera Complex is a Pleistocene nested caldera located in the central part of the Baja California peninsula, Mexico. The twelve formations defined within the Quaternary volcanic record were grouped into three phases (pre-caldera, caldera, and post-caldera). The pre-caldera phase (>1.35 Ma) is characterized by scattered eruptions, mostly occurred in submarine environment. The caldera phase (1.35–0.96 Ma) groups several distinct explosive and effusive eruptions that formed the present-day caldera depression. The post caldera phase includes scattered effusive eruptions (ended at 0.28 Ma) and resurgence, characterized by several hundred meters of uplift of the central block within the caldera depression.

Title: Geomorphology of the Pieria Mtns, Northern Greece
Abstract:
The present study is an attempt to comprehend and interpret the geomorphological factors that contributed to the landscape formation and evolution of the broader area of Pieria Mtns in Northern Greece. Detailed geomorphological mapping was performed utilizing both automated - GIS oriented and traditional geomorphological techniques. In order to scientifically determine the formation and evolution of present day landscape, topography, geology, tectonics and climatic status were taken into consideration. The broader area of Pieria Mtns is a landscape with heterogeneous geomorphological environments. The geomorphological formation and evolution is the result of primarily active tectonics, and exogenic processes from Lower Miocene until present. The combined methodology of GIS oriented and traditional geomorphological mapping was proved to be scientifically accurate although time consuming. Detailed field work was considered mandatory in order to validate the GIS derivatives, and interpret the genesis of the landforms.

Title: Geology of the Hokusai quadrangle (H05), Mercury
Abstract:
The Hokusai (H05) quadrangle is in Mercury’s northern mid-latitudes (0–90°E, 22.5–65°N) and covers almost 5 million km2, or 6.5%, of the planet’s surface. We have used data from the MESSENGER spacecraft to make the first geological map of H05. Linework was digitized at 1:400,000-scale for final presentation at 1:3,000,000-scale, mainly using a ∼166 m/pixel monochrome basemap. Three major photogeologic units of regional extent were mapped: intercrater, intermediate, and smooth plains. Materials of craters ≥ 20 km in diameter were classified according to their degradation state. Two classification schemes were employed in parallel, one with three classes and the other with five classes, for compatibility with existing MESSENGER-era quadrangle maps and the first global geologic map. This map will provide science context and targets for the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury.

Title: Matilda’s castles, northern Apennines: geological and geomorphological constrains
Abstract:
The positioning and construction of castles in ancient times responded not only to strategic opportunity, but also to the issue of geomorphological risk. We investigated castles and strongholds built in the era of the Great Countess Matilda of Canossa in part of the northern Apennines (Italy), in order to study the relationship between their positioning and the distribution of geomorphological and geological hazards. We observe how the location of castles follows clear patterns of avoidance of potential hazards: castles are kept far from the main fault systems and stream networks, and are mainly at a safe distance from landslide- and badlands-susceptible terrains. The knowledge of Medieval communities on landscape hazards was sufficiently advanced to minimise risks, while maintaining the strategic value of fortifications.

Title: Inventory of Vietri-Maiori landslides induced by the storm of October 1954 (southern Italy)
Abstract:
On 25 October 1954, a storm hit the area surrounding the villages of Vietri sul Mare and Maiori of the Amalfi Coast (southern Italy) causing more than 300 deaths and severe damage to infrastructures and agriculture. This event has been among the most catastrophic historically documented in Campania Region. On this basis, and considering the lack of an existing complete characterization of the event in terms of triggered slope processes, we used multiple sets of stereoscopic aerial photos and a LiDAR-derived high-resolution topography to produce an event landslide inventory map. Our map provides an overview of the landslide distribution and extent in the area that mainly suffered the effect of the storm and is the basis for a morphometric characterization of landslide source areas that we present in this paper as simplified statistical analysis. In addition, we compared the rainfall distribution with the spatial density of source areas.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Chirripó National Park, Costa Rica
Abstract:
Several regions of tropical America show imprints of past glacial activity. These relict landforms can support the understanding of past climate conditions, such as during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and the implications that these paleoclimatic conditions could have had on landscape change. Here, we present and analyze glacial morphologies for the Chirripó National Park in Costa Rica based on aerial imagery (1:25,000), detailed Digital Elevation Models, geomorphic mapping, as well as geomorphic assessments in the field to determine and validate landforms. This study adds valuable insights into the reconstruction of the maximum expansion of tropical glaciation during the LGM in Costa Rica and into tropical America glacial landscapes in general.

Title: Geomorphology of the Rio Cisles basin (Odle Group, Dolomites, Italy)
Abstract:
The results of geomorphological investigations carried out in the Rio Cisles basin in the Odle Group (Italian Alps) are presented. This is one of the most famous and spectacular mountain groups of the Dolomites, located in the north-western sector of the Gardena valley, an area of high tourism appeal. Field surveys and multitemporal aerial-photo interpretation led to the production of a geomorphological map at a 1:12,000 scale. This map outlines the features of an area of about 20 km2, characterised by high relief energy, mainly due to the overlapping of large dolomite rocks masses on clayey rocks. The present morphology is the result of intense postglacial and paraglacial geomorphic activity, which has affected the area since the Upper Pleistocene. The geomorphological evolution of this area has been reconstructed and a new contribution is given to the comprehension of the geomorphology of the eastern Dolomites.

Title: Phytoavailable phosphorus (P2O5) and potassium (K2O) in topsoil for apple orchards and vineyards, South Tyrol, Italy
Abstract:
Accurate fertilization management is a present-day challenge and can conciliate profitability and sustainability in agriculture production. This study presents topsoil concentrations of P2O5 and K2O in apple orchards and vineyards in South Tyrol, Italy. Sixteen thousand georeferenced soil samples were collected and spatialized using ordinary local kriging. Measured average and maximum concentrations of P2O5 were 260 and 1500 mg/kg, respectively, in apple orchards, and 280 and 880 mg/kg, respectively, in vineyards. Similarly, measured average and maximum concentrations of K2O were 210 and 1040 mg/kg, respectively, in apple orchards, and 250 and 820 mg/kg, respectively, in vineyards. Overall, K2O concentration was mostly within the recommended thresholds, while P2O5 concentration was frequently higher than the target level for optimal production. The resulting maps (1:25,000 scale) of P2O5 and K2O showed modest accuracy with RMSE of 115.7 and 78.3 mg/kg, respectively. These maps can support evidence-based decision making by multiple stakeholders.

Title: Patterned ground above the alpine timberline in the High Sudetes, Central Europe
Abstract:
Patterned ground in mountainous areas has a high palaeogeographic significance as it is associated with cold environments and frequently with permafrost conditions. Most patterned ground (i.e. sorted polygons, sorted nets, sorted stripes) in the High Sudetes is overgrown by vegetation and is relict. However, wind-blown summit areas with low snow cover allow for the activity of sorted circles, earth and peat hummocks, and some non-sorted stripes. The extent of patterned ground above the alpine timberline in the High Sudetes presented here is based on detailed field geomorphologic mapping. Patterned ground occurs on summit planation surfaces and surrounding gently sloping terrain, and covers 5.23 km2. Sorted polygons are the highest-elevated patterned-ground type. The spatial distribution of patterned ground is shown in the map, which could be helpful for future research of the Quaternary geomorphologic evolution of the mountain landscape and for nature protection planning in the High Sudetes.

Title: Nitrate contamination risk of the Zagreb aquifer
Abstract:
Nitrates present one of the main groundwater contaminants in the world and in the Zagreb aquifer. In order to reduce nitrate concentrations in groundwater, it is necessary to spatially define main nitrogen sources and areas which have the highest risk of nitrate contamination. This paper presents a map of nitrate contamination risk in the area of the Zagreb aquifer. It was constructed based on nine different layers that include natural characteristics and anthropogenic pressures. For the construction of the Main map, which has been defined as the most representative one, 15 different variations have been tested. The Main map has shown that the urban part of the City of Zagreb, especially central and eastern parts, together with the area of Jakuševec landfill and marshalling station, present areas with the highest risk of nitrate contamination, which is consistent with the results of previous research.

Title: High-resolution remapping of the coastal dune fields of south east Queensland, Australia: a morphometric approach
Abstract:
The sand islands and shore-attached dune fields of south east Queensland form the world’s oldest and largest coastal sand dune system. Here we present updated morphological maps for the dune fields based on topographic expression and geomorphic relationships. Individual dunes were delineated using high-resolution elevation data and were grouped into morphosequences based on the elevation, drainage characteristics and slope characteristics of the individual dunes. The slope characteristics focussed on high resolution derived slope-curvature and slope-elevation parameters. Morphosequences were recognised from cross-cutting relationships and relative position in the dune field. Our method was developed for the Cooloola Sand Mass and then applied to Fraser Island, Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island, the other major sand islands in south east Queensland. In total, five Holocene and four Pleistocene units have been identified. The new mapping underpins current work on the geomorphic evolution of the dune fields.

Title: Geomorphology of the Sierra del Aramo (Asturian Central Massif, Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain)
Abstract:
A detailed geomorphological map of the Sierra del Aramo (Asturian Central Massif) is presented at a scale of 1:25,000. The Sierra del Aramo is one of the major middle-altitude mountains of the Asturian Central Massif (maximum altitude 1,791 m a.s.l.). Specifically, the lithology and the structural landforms, as well as karst, fluvial, periglacial and other landforms and deposits, have been mapped based on meticulous fieldwork, photointerpretation and a geographic information system. The final printing has been drawn carefully following the RCP 77 geomorphological mapping system of the French CNRS to achieve a graphic design that adequately expresses the true nature of the landforms. Thus, the geomorphological map is a precise scientific tool that serves as a basis for geoheritage studies, and the analysis of natural hazards; in short, for territorial planning.

Title: Geomorphology of Las Derrumbadas dome complex, Puebla Mexico
Abstract:
This paper comprises a geomorphologic map of the Las Derrumbadas (LDR) volcanic complex in Mexico. The complex stretches over more than 285 km2, the stratigraphic column encompasses a range age from Cretacious to Quaternary. The methodology used involved the analysis of digital morphometric models, satellite imagery and absolute datings. The result is a 1:40,000 scale map, which is divided into two large geomorphologic groups in terms of the dominant processes: exogenic and endogenic This, in turn, are divided into various subgroups representing the morphological complexity of the study area, principally related to volcanic processes and their coherence with slope processes.

Title: New bathymetry of the Linosa volcanic complex from multibeam systems (Sicily Channel, Mediterranean Sea)
Abstract:
This paper presents new bathymetric data acquired around Linosa Island, in the Pelagie Archipelago, revealing the submarine extension of the volcanic edifice, more wide and complex than previously known. The seafloor of Linosa, from the coastal area to about 1000 m depth, was mapped with multibeam systems during the ‘Linosa 2016’ and ‘BioGeoLin 2017’ surveys. A bathymetric map of the surveyed area (about 298 km2) was drawn at the original 1:30,000 scale. Overall, the submarine portions of Linosa extend on a total area of about 159 km2 and are preferentially developed in a NW-SE direction, in agreement with the regional main tectonic trend in the area. The new bathymetric data allow to recognize different sectors in the submarine extension of the volcanic edifice where constructional (volcanic) activity alternates with erosive-depositional processes affecting the submarine flanks of the island.

Title: PS-driven inventory of town-damaging landslides in the Benevento, Avellino and Salerno Provinces, southern Italy
Abstract:
The Apennine provinces of Campania Region (southern Italy), Benevento, Avellino and Salerno, are known for their ‘unstable towns’ suffering periodic damage from landslides. Their identification and mapping are very challenging tasks, since boundary mapping under urban settlements is not always possible without time-consuming field analysis of building damage and/or expensive mid-term diffuse ground-surface deformation monitoring. To overcome this problem, an inventory of town-damaging landslides, guided by available Permanent Scatterers (PS) ground-deformation data, was prepared. It provides an updated tool suitable to guide future land planning and historical site restoration in the Apennine provinces of Campania Region. Our fourteen Map Sheets show active and local reactivation of suspended/dormant landslides. Overall, 356 landslides were identified, amongst which 162 were identified as flows, 101 as slides, 1 as a spreads and 92 as complex landslides. To supplement our maps, a simplified distribution analysis based on major landslide morphometric characteristics was completed.

Title: Geohazards of Saudi Arabia
Abstract:
Geohazards play an important role in land development and have serious impacts if not considered at early planning stages. Identification of potential geohazards, assessment of their likelihood and severity is a complex task that requires integration of various information through a multi-disciplinary approach. An introductory level assessment of potential geohazards in Saudi Arabia with compilation and interpretation of publicly available data using geographic information system tools is presented in this study. The outcome is a geohazard map presenting reported and predicted geohazards including tectonics and volcanism, rock subsidence, expansive and collapsible soils and slope instability, which summarize all available information for further interpretation. The 1:2.500.000 scale composite geohazard main map provides a valuable tool for initial assessment and review in early planning stages of land development projects.

Title: Bouguer anomalies of the NW Iberian continental margin and the adjacent abyssal plains
Abstract:
The NW Iberian continental margin has a complex structure, resulting from the succession of several rifting episodes close to a ridge triple junction, and a superimposed partial tectonic inversion stage. The wide-ranging physiography matches the diverse tectonic deformation domains related to its evolution. Each deformation domain has a distinctive gravity signal, so the detailed Bouguer anomaly map presented here is a good first approach to the regional study of the whole margin. Moreover, as the presented chart is a complete Bouguer anomaly map (including terrain corrections), its analysis and interpretation can be done in terms of density, geometry and depth variations below the seafloor. This map is mainly based on the dataset obtained during seven one-month surveys carried out in the frame of the Spanish Economic Exclusive Zone project, and also includes two 2 + 3/4D density models illustrating the deep structure of the margin.

Title: Vegetation patterns in a South American coastal wetland using high-resolution imagery
Abstract:
The aim of this study was to identify and characterize the main plant communities in a temperate coastal wetland using high-resolution imagery. We produced a map of Samborombón Bay at 1:25,000 scale using a WorldView-2 image. An Object-based Image Analysis approach was chosen, and an unsupervised classification algorithm was applied. Overall classification accuracy was 81%, and the Kappa index was 78.1%. Six land cover types were mapped including four main natural monospecific plant communities. The lower intertidal area was dominated by mudflats without vegetation and stands of Bolboschoenus maritimus. The middle intertidal area was dominated by Sarcocornia ambigua, while, in the higher intertidal area, Sporobolus densiflorus and grasslands with Cortaderia selloana prevailed. We found four spatial patterns at a landscape scale, based on the presence and spatial distribution of the natural plant communities. This map represents a valuable tool for future studies on wetland environmental indicators.

Title: Geoenergy potential of the Croatian part of Pannonian Basin: insights from the reconstruction of the pre-Neogene basement unconformity
Abstract:
Presented work focuses on the importance of unconformity that separates the Neogene infill from older Palaeozoic and Mesozoic rocks in the Croatian part of Pannonian Basin. Structure map of this horizon nearly represents the thickness map of the Neogene and Quaternary basin fill. Rock formations just below the unconformity are significantly weathered, which results in favourable petrophysical properties, making them interesting from the aspect of geoenergy potential. The pre-Neogene surface was constructed in 1:400,000 scale using publicly available subsurface maps of different scale and different level of detail. Harmonization and compilation of these maps enabled construction of a structured surface with near-vertical fault planes. Supplemental maps were constructed via basin modelling, showing the temperature distribution in the subsurface, potential source rock maturity near the mapped horizon, surface heat flow and geothermal gradient distribution. Constructed maps illustrate the importance of the mapped interval for regional planning of future geoenergy-related research..

Title: Submarine geomorphology of the northeastern Baffin Island fiords and cross-shelf troughs
Abstract:
This paper presents a series of 50 geomorphological maps of the seabed of northeastern Baffin Island fiords and cross-shelf troughs, in eastern Arctic Canada. The mapping was produced using swath bathymetry imagery from multiple bathymetry datasets. A total of 24 types of landform were systematically mapped (>55,000 landforms) and reflect processes linked to subglacial, ice-marginal or paraglacial to postglacial environments. The landforms record the transition of the seabed from being covered by a marine-terminating ice sheet to the establishment of postglacial conditions. The landform assemblages allow the distinction of ice-flows orientation and ice-stream pathways along fiords and cross-shelf troughs. The multiple moraines and grounding-zone wedges indicate that the ice margin stabilized during retreat and that the overall deglaciation occurred by steps. These maps provide a framework for future investigations in northeastern Baffin Island fiords and shelf and can also provide a template for future seabed geomorphological studies in Arctic Canada.

Title: The morpho-sedimentology of an artificial roadstead (Cherbourg, France)
Abstract:
Because of its size and geographical position, the Cherbourg roadstead appears as a favourable site for Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) industry. As a result, Cherbourg harbour has undergone profound changes (2015 and 2016) due to the installation of industrial infrastructures to service the needs of expanding MRE further offshore. However, little is known about the morpho-sedimentary distribution and associated dynamics of seabed sediments before and after harbour transformations. This study focuses on sedimentary dynamics using detailed morphological and sedimentological analyses based on data acquired before changes (2012). The main map includes a unique bathymetric map (1:35,000) and sedimentary maps showing the percentage of the characteristic grain size fractions of 184 seabed samples. Despite the high tidal conditions, the roadstead construction had a significant impact on the sedimentary facies and distribution. This study provides a basis for future investigations on geomorphological evolution linked to the impact of anthropogenic development.

Title: Seabed sediments of Søre Sunnmøre, Norway
Abstract:
An increasing number of activities compete for space in the Norwegian coastal zone, making access to detailed seabed information particularly valuable. We present a suite of thematic marine base maps of the near-shore areas of five municipalities in west Norway (567 km2; at 62°N/5°E). This set of full-coverage seabed maps includes sediment grain size, seabed terrain (shaded relief), slope, sediment accumulation basins, anchoring conditions, and diggability (trenching properties). The sediment grain size map is a geological interpretation of multibeam echosounder data supported by video observations and physical samples of seabed sediments. The other maps in the suite are derived from this sediment map, and/or directly from the bathymetry data. All maps are at a scale of 1:20,000 and are freely accessible for download or online viewing. Marine base maps are intended for all end-users with a need for knowledge of seabed conditions and may be especially valuable for marine spatial planning.

Title: Geo-archaeology of the Grozzana area (N–E Italy)
Abstract:
The extensive analysis of remote-sensed data (among which ALS-derived images) and fieldwork carried out in the Trieste Karst (N–E Italy) have shed light on archaeological landscapes largely unknown until recent years. The chronological definition of this complex palimpsest was based on the collection of findings associated to the archeological evidence, shape and orientation of detected structures and stratigraphic relations among features. This allowed to evaluate the interplay between landforms through time and to reconstruct some long-term economic strategies pursued by past communities. As a result, we present a 1:5000 map of the easternmost sector of the Trieste area, next to the border between Italy and Slovenia, approximately corresponding to the area of the map Carta Tecnica Regionale ‘Grozzana’. The map aims at providing a tool for the protection of the cultural and environmental heritage, land use planning and touristic valorization of the area.

Title: High-resolution bathymetry of the Alderney Race and its geological and sedimentological description (Raz Blanchard, northwest France)
Abstract:
We present a high-resolution 1:15,000 bathymetric map (Main map) of Alderney Race located offshore of northwestern France, with the strongest currents in Europe. We use this map, underwater video transects and Shipek grabs to improve geological maps previously published. We distinguished Proterozoic crystalline rocks, Paleozoic and Cretaceous sedimentary rocks on the present-day sea floor. Some structures as faults and folds are also mapped. We identified a Quaternary cover made of pebbles, boulders and blocks interpreted as corestones resulting in differential erosion and alteration of the substratum. This cover is commonly encrusted by fixed fauna, such as bryozoans and barnacles. Finally, we describe the present-day mobile sediment cover characterized by sand patches and pebble dune fields (up to 10 m in height). Our videos show the presence of mobile fine-grained sediment patches under the resolution of our map lying between the cobble and pebble cover. We summarize our interpretations on a non-exhaustive geological-sedimentary map.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Šumava / Bayerischer Wald mountains, Central Europe
Abstract:
During Quaternary glacial periods, the Šumava / Bayerischer Wald mountains were subject to mountain glaciations. Recent studies have focussed mainly on the several well-developed cirques. However, the glacial geomorphology of the mountain range as a whole has not yet been mapped from digital data. Here we use high-resolution digital elevation models to identify over 300 erosional and 40 depositional landforms of glacial origin. Our study provides a map of glacial geomorphology for the whole mountain range across the Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria, with an up-to-date overview of previously investigated sites and newly identified glacial features in areas that have not previously been surveyed. The results of our mapping study can further be validated by field surveys and will serve as a basis for future reconstructions of palaeoglaciation in the Šumava / Bayerischer Wald mountains.

Title: Plants and animals in the oikonyms of Lithuania
Abstract:
Two toponymical maps presented in this paper show 2332 inhabited places of Lithuania that have names (oikonyms) associated with vegetation and animals. The maps and the dataset are the outcomes of a project that is aimed at combining the outcomes of professional onomastic research with an environment that fosters exploration. The oikonyms were extracted from the reference base dataset of Lithuania by means of an automated algorithm. Original cartographic symbols have been designed for depicting categories and species. The multiscale map application, with its exploratory tools, makes it easy to see spatial distribution of geographic names related with particular groups of plants and animals. Analysis of map data enables the assertion that local toponymy reflects a distribution of species that were characteristic to the territory over past centuries. The maps are supplemented by comparative density maps and statistical charts. The reference scale of the main maps is 1: 500,000.

Title: Interpretation of the tectonic evolution of the western part of the Sava Depression: structural analysis of seismic attributes and subsurface structural modeling
Abstract:
This paper presents the results of an extensive structural investigation of the western part of the Sava Depression (SW part of the Pannonian Basin System) and provides insights in the tectonic evolution of the investigated area. Structural analyses were based on the 3D seismic volume of the study area, analysis of seismic attributes, and construction of 3D structural model and structural maps. Our results pinpoint to three tectonic phases in the structural development of the Sava Depression. The first tectonic phase is characterized by extensional tectonic features developed from the Early to Middle Miocene. The second tectonic phase follows thermal subsidence and general deepening of the study area and inherited tectonic features during the Late Miocene, while the final tectonic phase is characterized by structural reactivation and tectonic inversion of inherited and newly formed tectonic features from the Pliocene to the Quaternary.

Title: Geological settings of the Jajce bauxite bearing-area (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Abstract:
In the bauxite-bearing area of Jajce (Bosnia & Herzegovina), exploitation of karst bauxite has occurred for more than 40 years, during which time extensive geological and mining research was also conducted. Here, the geological map of the Jajce bauxite bearing-area (Bosnia & Herzegovina) at a scale of 1:25.000 is presented, accompanied by a geological column and regional geological cross-sections. The map shows the main stratigraphic and tectonic features and positions of the bauxite deposits of the area. This research area covers 343 km2, divided into two structural units with four bauxite districts, Liskovica, Bešpelj, Crvene Stijene and Poljane. The Liskovica-Bešpelj structural unit is tectonically very complex, characterized by W-E trending structures in subvertical, vertical and overturned positions. The Crvene Stijene-Poljane structural unit is characterized by gentle folds and normal faults. The geological map summarizes all the available data and represents the necessary basis for further geological and mining research of the area.

Title: Bouguer gravity field of the Tuscan Archipelago (central Italy)
Abstract:
In this paper, we present a new Bouguer gravity map of the Northern Tuscan offshore (central Italy), based on original gravity data acquired on the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. Our dataset integrates 274 unpublished gravity field measurements with 126 available marine gravity data of the northern Tyrrhenian Sea. The Bouguer anomaly map shows a westward and southward increase of the regional gravity field associated with the uplift of the Moho boundary from central Apennines towards the Tyrrhenian Sea. At a local scale, several Bouguer anomalies are well associated with the igneous plutons of the Elba, Montecristo and Capraia islands, as a result of a deep density contrast between the granitoid intrusive rocks and the embedding metamorphic basement. The presented Bouguer anomaly map represents a useful tool for future studies of the complex geological and geodynamical setting of the Tuscan Archipelago and of the buried and deep igneous structures.

Title: Shallow geophysics of the Asinara Island Marine Reserve Area (NW Sardinia, Italy)
Abstract:
We present a high-resolution swath bathymetric and backscatter map of the entire sector of the Marine Reserve Area (MRA) of the Asinara Island, along with a geological and sediment thickness map derived from the interpretation of a large set of high-resolution seismic profiles, and an airborne-derived hyperspectral image of the Asinara Island. Acquired data show that most of the eastern marine sector of the Asinara Island is characterized by quite gentle bathymetric gradients, whereas the western coastline appears to be very indented, with an articulated and rough morphology of the seafloor, which deepens sharply towards the open sea. The maps presented in this study at the 1:50.000 scale do not only provide the first, high-resolution bathymetry of the MRA of the Asinara Island but also may furnish the base for the creation of a benthic habitat map and a more comprehensive maritime spatial planning of this protected area.

Title: Landslide inventory mapping using LiDAR data in the City of Zagreb (Croatia)
Abstract:
Landslides in the Podsljeme area of the City of Zagreb cause significant economic losses, which have been increasing over the last several decades due to the urbanisation of hilly areas and the influence of climate changes. An airborne LiDAR digital terrain model (DTM) with a spatial resolution of 30 × 30 cm was used to prepare a landslide inventory map of the pilot area (21 km2) with more than 700 identified landslides. The area of the smallest identified landslide is 43 m2, while 90% of the landslides are between 100 and 2,000 m2. The frequency–size distribution of all mapped landslides in the pilot area shows a very high level of landslide inventory completeness. Therefore, it is concluded that the LiDAR-based terrain model is a valuable tool for the preparation of detailed landslide inventories in heavily vegetated regions such as the hilly area of Medvednica Mt.

Title: Geomorphology of the central Po Plain, Northern Italy
Abstract:
A micro-relief map (1:90,000 scale) and a geomorphological map (1:25,000 scale) of the central sector of the Po Plain (northern Italy) are presented. The geomorphological map represents fluvial and anthropogenic landforms as well as the distribution of the textures of superficial alluvial deposits. It resulted from the integration of different study methods, including remote sensing data analysis, field surveys and grain size analysis of superficial deposits.The micro-relief map was a fundamental tool for identifying many inconspicuous landforms. The geomorphological map can provide local authorities with useful information for correct territorial management and planning, in particular for seismic and flood hazard assessment.

Title: The De Martonne aridity index in Calabria (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
In this paper, the annual rainfall and temperature values, measured in the period 1951-2016 in a region of southern Italy (Calabria), have been spatially interpolated using deterministic and geostatistical techniques in an R environment. In particular, Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Ordinary Kriging (OK), Kriging with External Drift (KED) and Ordinary Cokriging (COK) were compared to evaluate the best suitability method in reproducing the actual surface. Then, the spatial variation of aridity in Calabria has been evaluated using the De Martonne aridity index (IDM), which is based on rainfall and temperature data. As a result, geostatistical methods incontrovertibly show a better estimate than the IDW. Specifically, the KED was identified as the best predictor method for both rainfall and temperature data. Moreover, the spatial distribution of the IDM evidenced that the majority of the study area can be classified as humid, with semi–arid conditions mainly identified in the coastal areas.

Title: Geomorphological processes, forms and features in the surroundings of the Melka Kunture Palaeolithic site, Ethiopia
Abstract:
The landscape of the surroundings of the Melka Kunture prehistoric site, Upper Awash Basin, Ethiopia, were studied intensively in the last decades. Nonetheless, the area was mainly characterized under a stratigraphic/geological and archaeological point of view. However, a detailed geomorphological map is still lacking. Hence, in this study, we identify, map and visualize geomorphological forms and processes. The morphology of the forms, as well as the related processes, were remotely sensed with available high-resolution airborne and satellite sources and calibrated and validated through extensive field work conducted in 2013 and 2014. Furthermore, we integrated multispectral satellite imagery to classify areas affected by intensive erosion processes and/or anthropic activities. The Main Map at 1:15,000 scale reveals structural landforms as well as intensive water-related degradation processes in the Upper Awash Basin. Moreover, the map is available as an interactive WebGIS application providing further information and detail (www.roceeh.net/ethiopia_geomorphological_map/).

Title: Distribution and classification of pockmarks on the seabed around western Scotland
Abstract:
Pockmarks are seabed depressions that represent primary evidence of rapid biogenic/thermogenic gas build up and fluid release from seabed sediments to the water column. We use a Geographical Information System (GIS) to analyse multibeam echo-sounder bathymetric data and use a range of semi-automated tools to map seabed pockmarks in fjords and adjacent coastal waters around western Scotland. We map 1019 individual pockmarks in 12 different hydrographic areas covering ca. 2019 km2. We use morphological metrics and statistical procedures to classify and analyse the variety of pockmark forms. A k-means clustering algorithm identifies three classes of pockmark morphology: deep, elongate and regular. The recognition of separate pockmark classes could aid understanding of their age, activity and origin. This work presents the first detailed mapping of pockmark fields in Scottish west coast waters and highlights the use of pockmarks as an indicator of the quantity, mobility and fate of stored carbon.

Title: Landslide-inventory of the Cinque Terre National Park (Italy) and quantitative interaction with the trail network
Abstract:
The Cinque Terre National Park (38 km2) has recently recorded a remarkable increase in tourists involved in outdoor activities such as hiking. However, due to the actual slope degradation issues that affect this outstanding terraced landscape, hiking trails are increasingly threatened by the impact of landslides. This produces severe landslide-related risk scenarios for hikers. In this study, a landslide inventory map (at 1:45000 scale) has been prepared through the revision/update of previous database and the analysis of air-photos and satellite images coupled with field surveys. Furthermore, a quantitative evaluation of the interaction between landslides and hiking trails has been performed by the definition of a Footpath Landslide Index. More than 400 landslides were identified highlighting that these phenomena represent the main source of hazard. The findings of this study reveal that side-hill trails are the most hazardous since hikers can be potentially affected by flow-like or fast-moving landslides.

Title: Surface ruptures following the 26 December 2018, Mw 4.9, Mt. Etna earthquake, Sicily (Italy)
Abstract:
We present a 1:10,000 scale map of the coseismic surface ruptures following the 26 December 2018 Mw 4.9 earthquake that struck the eastern flank of Mt. Etna volcano (southern Italy). Detailed rupture mapping is based on extensive field surveys in the epicentral region. Despite the small size of the event, we were able to document surface faulting for about 8 km along the trace of the NNW-trending active Fiandaca Fault, belonging to the Timpe tectonic system in the eastern flank of the volcano. The mapped ruptures are characterized in most cases by perceivable opening and by a dominant right-oblique sense of slip, with an average slip of about 0.09 m and a peak value of 0.35 m. It is also noteworthy that the ruptures vary significantly in their kinematic expression, denoting locally high degree of complexity of the surface faulting.

Title: Geography of legal water disputes in Chile
Abstract:
Water resources are the main productive source in Chile. Growing competition for water use causes conflicts which end up in courts (Courts of Appeal and The Supreme Court). Legal disputes end when the courts issue a judgement which is recorded. The volume of court decisions made makes the task of searching, analyzing, and extracting knowledge from these texts challenging. This research is aimed at developing a mapping tool to explore spatio-temporal patterns from legal records, as court decisions are an objective proxy for conflicts. Natural Language Processing techniques are applied in order to process and extract information from the court decisions to help the map visualization process. The mapping tool allows information to be visualized in different layers ranging from the whole text of the courts' decisions to maps in which one can easily find the location of the conflict or any other places mentioned in the courts' decisions being analyzed by the tool by filtering the courts' decisions through different terms and concepts. To implement the mapping tools, we combined a geographic information system, along with a search engine (Elasticsearch) and an analytic dashboard (Kibana).

Title: HazMatMapper: an online and interactive geographic visualization tool for exploring transnational flows of hazardous waste and environmental justice
Abstract:
HazMatMapper is an online and interactive geographic visualization tool designed to facilitate exploration of transnational flows of hazardous waste in North America (http://geography.wisc.edu/hazardouswaste/map/). While conventional narratives suggest that wealthier countries such as Canada and the United States (US) export waste to poorer countries like Mexico, little is known about how waste trading may affect specific sites within any of the three countries. To move beyond anecdotal discussions and national aggregates, we assembled a novel geographic dataset describing transnational hazardous waste shipments from 2007 to 2012 through two Freedom of Information Act requests for documents held by the US Environmental Protection Agency. While not yet detailing all of the transnational hazardous waste trade in North America, HazMatMapper supports multiscale and site-specific visual exploration of US imports of hazardous waste from Canada and Mexico. It thus enables academic researchers, waste regulators, and the general public to generate hypotheses on regional clustering, transnational corporate structuring, and environmental justice concerns, as well as to understand the limitations of existing regulatory data collection itself. Here, we discuss the dataset and design process behind HazMatMapper and demonstrate its utility for understanding the transnational hazardous waste trade.

Title: Urbanization dynamics of Tehran city (1975–2015) using artificial neural networks
Abstract:
Land-use dynamic is a major challenge for town and country planners especially in developing countries such as Iran. Iran has been under rapid urban expansion and population growth for past three decades which led to lack of resources, environmental deterioration and haphazard landscape development. In this paper, an attempt has been made to map the urbanization dynamics of Tehran in 40 years based on remote sensing imagery and by means of artificial neural networks. The presented scheme could be taken into consideration when planning initiatives aimed at surveying, monitoring, managing and sustainable development of the territory. Moreover, it can serve the experts in the fields of geography, urban studies and planning as a background for number of geographical analyses.

Title: The daily dynamic potential accessibility by car in London on Wednesdays
Abstract:
The map presented in this paper shows the effect of congestion on daily accessibility in the London metropolitan area on Wednesdays. Because of its dynamic nature, it is challenging to both calculate the effects of this phenomenon and to represent it clearly on simple maps. Although we can use many traditional techniques for this purpose, they are usually static, and they may lose some essential information on the effects studied. In this paper, we used two cartographic techniques rarely used in accessibility studies – cartograms and 3D maps, which we believe can achieve a more striking representation in static and animations of both the traffic-induced spatial distortion and the accessibility levels obtained. The results are presented in two animated maps and some snapshots of them – static maps. Both types of maps reinforce each other: Together, they can properly show the direct space–time link between congestion and accessibility, and can, therefore, give a more detailed overview of the consequences of this phenomenon.

Title: The use of public spaces in a medium-sized city: from Twitter data to mobility patterns
Abstract:
This research evidences the usefulness of open big data to map mobility patterns in a medium-sized city. Motivated by the novel analysis that big data allow worldwide and in large metropolitan areas, we developed a methodology aiming to complement origin-destination surveys with à la carte spatial boundaries and updated data at a minimum cost. This paper validates the use of Twitter data to map the impact of public spaces on the different parts of the metropolitan area of Concepción (MAC), Chile. Results have been validated by local experts and evidence the main mobility patterns towards spaces of social interaction like malls, leisure areas, parks and so on. The Main Map represents the mobility patterns from census districts to different categories of public spaces with schematic lines at the metropolitan scale and it is centred in the city of Concepción (Chile) and its surroundings (∼10 kilometres).

Title: Automated layout of origin–destination flow maps: U.S. county-to-county migration 2009–2013
Abstract:
Visualizing large movement datasets with flow maps is difficult because overlapping flows create significant graphical conflicts that make accurate interpretation difficult or impossible. Interactive flow mapping applications allow users to explore large movement datasets by automatically generating flow maps from subsets of the data in response to queries by the user. However, even a small number of flows can overlap and cross each other in a way that impedes accurate interpretation. We introduce an interactive flow map of migration in the United States from 2009 to 2013 that uses a force-directed method to automatically lay out migration flows at the county-to-county and state levels. This map, available at http://usmigrationflowmapper.com/, aims at improving readability by automatically creating origin–destination flow layouts according to identified cartographic design principles. Map users explore high-level state-to-state migration patterns as well as detailed county-to-county movements through a custom user interface and interactive map features. We show migration flows between counties of different states by representing other states as nodes with a circular arrangement around the selected state, and connect county flows to those nodes. This constrains the map layout to a smaller area, reducing clutter and the amount of interaction required to view flows.

Title: Accessibility of rail trails in Huelva, Andalusia (Spain)
Abstract:
The rail trails (converted disused railways) are infrastructures which can be reused mainly as non-motorised itineraries for hiking and cycle touring. Andalusia (Spain) has a network of 1442 km of disused railways, out of which 606 km are found in Huelva province (42.1%) as heritage from its former mining activity. The aim of this article is to devise a method which determines the real accessibility to rail trails and the volume of resident population who can reach them in a time period of 5, 10 and 15 minutes by road in a private vehicle. This process involves the determination of real accesses with accuracy and the differentiated calculation of the average speed on the different types of routes. The method is used for the three rail trails which currently exist in Huelva (98.6 km), having as a result a Map at a scale of 1:325,000.

Title: Narrative of the annotated Space–Time Cube – revisiting a historical event
Abstract:
The Space–Time Cube (STC) is a suitable representation to display multiple characteristics of movement data and will especially reveal temporal patterns in the data. By adding annotations to the cube’s paths and stations, the narrative of the display is enhanced. To illustrate the STC’s storytelling capabilities, a historical event, Napoleon’s crossing of the Berezina River during his Russian campaign in 1812 is presented and linked to an event in 2012 when the authors made a similar trip. Also, a set of different visual queries and their results are presented, emphasizing the STC as an alternative addition to a more extended visualization environment.

Title: World political map from OpenStreetMap data
Abstract:
The paper presents the development of an automated procedure for creating a small-scale world political map from OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, and the map itself. A novel approach was used for cartographic processing, while the fitness for use of OSM data for this task was evaluated. It was anticipated and shown that creating a world political map from OSM data is a methodologically and technologically demanding task. The result was a political map of the world at a scale of 1:30,000,000, showing independent states, dependencies and areas of special sovereignty as in the OSM data set, with no adaptation to specific political recognition issues. A high degree of automation built on open-source software was achieved. The resulting map is an intermediate stage of production, requiring modest manual intervention for the final map. By allocating a code to the community (http://github.com/GEOF-OSGL/OSMPoliticalMap), we have provided opportunities for its continuing development.

Title: Mapping spatial patterns of bus usage under varying local temperature conditions
Abstract:
Weather influences our daily travel decisions in a number of important ways. At the individual scale, weather has been shown to influence trip-making behaviours where inclement conditions can induce re-scheduling, re-routing and cancellation of a planned journey. Furthermore at the transit system-level, poor weather can increase traffic congestion and reduce operational efficiencies. While some research has examined the weather–transit relationship, focus on the spatial dimension remain in their infancy. In this paper we adopt a visual analytic approach to spatially explore the complex weather–transit relationship at a micro geographical scale. We demonstrate that through spatially integrating a large disaggregate smart card database of bus ridership with hourly local weather measurements we can reveal how ‘heat stress’ changes the way in which passengers use the public transit system in sub-tropical Brisbane, Australia. Our approach has the potential for broader application across other public and private transport and climatic contexts to unveil the way in which weather influences our daily travel behaviour.

Title: Stage finishes – mapping the locations and results of Tour de France (1903–2016)
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to illustrate the history of one of the world's greatest multi-stage bicycle races, the Tour de France, by mapping all the stage finish places from the first race in 1903 to the present. On the one hand, there is a long list of places that the Tour de France has visited just once in its whole history, but on the other, there are also several places that different editions include fairly regularly. Since the Tour de France is one of the most watched sports events on the planet, spatial variability is a good means for promoting the different regions of France and the surrounding countries where individual stages have been held. The organisation of individual editions does not depend on the existence of purpose-built sports stadiums but makes use of the existing infrastructure and settlement structure that have developed over long periods. By showing the finish places, we are able to capture not only the frequency of the inclusion of the places in the race, but also show the success of cyclists from different countries at each stage finish and thus identify the countries that have historically been most successful at winning stages.

Title: Making ‘Retail Mobility Environments’ visible for collaborative transport planning
Abstract:
Under the context of collaborative transport planning paradigms, maps should be seen as learning instruments that create dialogue spaces between stakeholders involved in policy-making, rather than simply demonstration tools for transport planning diagnosis and outcomes. This paper explores the role of maps in collaborative transport planning through the elaboration process of the ‘Retail Mobility Environments’ map, a planning concept focused on how non-motorised modes and retail activity are interconnected. This map aims to provide a meaningful tool to assists stakeholders during policy-making, creating a common framework for discussion. The city of Zaragoza (Spain) is taken as case study. The map consists of two parts: (1) based on a mixed approach (both quantitative and qualitative), the spatial distribution of ‘Retail Mobility Environments’ is shown; (2) based on design approaches, specific characteristics of those ‘Retail Mobility Environments’ are detailed. The paper closes with some concluding remarks on the role of maps under collaborative planning schemes.

Title: Urban landscape change in Carpathian Mountain Resorts
Abstract:
Mapping of urban landscape change in detail scale is a difficult task when analysis is focused on a longer period with little data available. This is also the case of Romanian resort towns, where the latest development replaces former urban structures characterized by lower densities and larger green areas with a new pattern, consisting of more compact districts. The paper focuses on mapping urban change in one of the most popular mountain resorts in Romanian Carpathians, the town of Bușteni (820–980 m), located along the Upper Prahova Valley, at the bottom of Bucegi Massif. This research integrates data from historical aerial photos, photogrammetrically processed (1969) as well as digital orthophotos (2012). For an adequate representation, we created a database containing two vector datasets (buildings), corresponding to both historical moments, in order to calculate the Built-up Index (BI). The change map features, in detail scale, the difference in urban patterns, concerning their spatial distribution and intensity. This type of analysis is a very useful instrument in urban planning, protected area designing and touristic resort development.

Title: The geographical patterns of Chinese liquors during 1995–2004
Abstract:
Chinese liquors come from a variety of different regions in China. This diversity can be attributed to the difference in microorganisms, but also to the biophysical environment. The latter constitutes a significant basis for the fermentation of products, but has not been adequately understood. Using spatial statistics analysis, we studied the causes of regional differences of Chinese liquors in the perspective of climatic and socio-economic environment. Temporal changes in the density of Chinese liquor manufacturers in each prefecture-level administrative unit from1995 to 2004 revealed no changes in spatio-temporal distribution patterns of Chinese liquors. Most manufacturers were distributed in moderate climatic regions in both developed areas and less developed areas. Socio-economic factors had a significantly positive impact on the development of the Chinese liquor industry, while the climatic environment plays a crucial role in determining their difference a regional scale. Overall, this study provided scientific evidence for the importance of the biophysical environments, especially climate, to determine the geographical patterns of fermentation products.

Title: Liver cancer mapping based on actual medical treatment choices
Abstract:
The allocation of medical resources is usually inappropriate in China because it is mainly based on the population of each administrative area. In real life, individual patients make choices based on numerous other factors, such as the quality of medical service, the service capacity of certain hospitals and their own income level. This study aims to reveal the differences between theoretical medical resource allocation and the actual medical treatment choices of liver cancer patients in Shenzhen, China, based on case data from 2010 to 2012. Two categories with six group maps are used to illustrate this situation, including independent charts and analytical method-based thematic maps. Meaningful conclusions are then proposed to improve medical resource allocation.

Title: Visualising world population density as an interactive multi-scale map using the global human settlement population layer
Abstract:
Recent advances in global population data are enabling new cartographic and analytical opportunities. The Global Human Settlement Layer is the first sub-1 km cell resolution global population density product released as open data, with many applications in the fields of global population dynamics, urban studies and natural hazard risk. There are several cartographic challenges with visualising this dataset due to the range of spatial scales that are of interest, and the extensive variation in the density of settlements patterns that exist across different regions of the globe. These challenges are tackled here using interactive mapping, allowing navigation from global to city-region scales. A detailed classification and colour scheme is developed to distinguish a wide range of densities at multiple scales. Additionally, interactive statistics are presented for direct numerical comparisons at both country and city scales, further enabling global density comparisons. The interactive map produced has received 30,000 users in four months, indicating the widespread interest in understanding global population density.

Title: Spanish mortgage crisis and accumulation of foreclosed housing by SAREB: a geographical approach
Abstract:
SAREB (Sociedad de Gestión de Activos Procedentes de la Reestructuración Bancaria – Company for the Management of Assets proceeding from the Restructuring of the Banking System) has played a key role in the process of restructuring the Spanish banking system and managing the property assets of the banks since the bursting of the housing bubble. This company has concentrated the housing stock that the rescued banks had accumulated through foreclosures. As a result, the identification of the territorial patterns of its assets is key to understanding the spatial logics of the housing crisis in Spain. There are no publicly available data about the location of the housing stock in the hands of SAREB. For this reason, the study explores an alternative secondary source. The resulting map allowed the researchers to check the utility of this source and to carry out calculations of spatial correlation using indicators relating to the impact of the property boom in different municipalities. This made it possible to spatially correlate exposure to the hyperproduction of housing and the concentration of housing in the hands of SAREB as a result of mortgage foreclosures and to open a route towards a novel geographical reading of Spain's mortgage crisis.

Title: Mapping citizens’ emotions: participatory planning support system in Olomouc, Czech Republic
Abstract:
Community mapping and emotional cartography have close links to participatory planning in the urban environment. The case study presented in this paper describes the deployment of the Emotional Maps platform for the collection and visualisation of spatial data related to the participatory planning of public space. The results (Main Map) presented are a combination of paper-based and web-map surveys. 2117 respondents from Olomouc (2% of the city's population) marked 25,760 points, lines and polygons, and made 4801 comments. Six spatial questions were asked in the survey and four of them are presented in the attached map. The questions were related to the general attractiveness of the city, safety, satisfaction with public transport and suggestions for the future development of some areas. The outcomes of the survey served as the groundwork for the Strategic Plan of Olomouc for 2017–2023.

Title: Exposure of manufacturing firms to future sea level rise in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Abstract:
Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is facing notably high levels in current and future flooding. Simultaneously, the ongoing process of rapid industrialization is characterized by the strong emergence of manufacturing firms within the urban area. As manufacturing firms are at the frontline regarding damage caused by flooding, which is often neglected in risk analyses, we argue that the assessment of firms’ exposure to flooding is essential for implementing an integrative flood risk governance. Hence, this study maps manufacturing firms in HCMC, using geocoding based on the Vietnam Enterprise Census (2005, 2015), and assesses whether they are exposed to future sea level rise. The maps developed visualize the expansion of manufacturing firms from 2005 to 2015 and the spatial distribution of firms exposed to future sea level rise in HCMC. Our results reveal that particularly domestic, private micro firms in labor-intensive industries, which represent the backbone of the local economy, are exposed, threatening their competitiveness and viability.

Title: Visualization of Land Mine Danger, Svilaja Region (Croatia)
Abstract:
Mines remaining from the Homeland War are a huge problem in Croatia. The joint work of experts in humanitarian demining and military doctrines in certain geographical areas, and scientists of various profiles, has resulted in a concept for producing mine danger maps, which show areas and levels of potential hazards from mines, i.e. suspected hazardous areas. This paper presents the concept for producing mine danger maps for a suspected hazardous area (Svilaja, Croatia). The input data comprise information stored in mine information systems and additional data collected on the suspected hazardous area (e.g. bunkers and shelters for tanks, artillery and people). The resulting maps (Main Map) seek to improve the identification of areas where there is no threat so that parts of suspected hazardous areas can be proposed for mine reduction, or suspected hazardous areas can be better defined.

Title: Analysis of the evolution of urban three-dimensional morphology: the case of Nanjing city, China
Abstract:
An analysis of the evolution of urban three-dimensional morphology (EUTM) can comprehensively explore the processes and mechanisms of urban evolution and provide a basis for urban design and land use administration. Based on the three-dimensional model of urban built-up areas in two periods, this paper establishes a quantitative index system for the EUTM and discusses the methods of generating isoline maps for each index. The idea of making integrated partition map of urban three-dimensional morphology is developed according to a multidimensional feature space classification method. A quantitative analysis of the EUTM in Nanjing is carried out by using two types of maps.

Title: Accessibility to culture and education. Educative city of Córdoba (Spain)
Abstract:
Universal Access to urban services is an indicator of equity and life quality in our cities. Culture and education services have become crucial because of their contribution to a sustainable economic and social development. This is the case, especially, for medium-sized heritage cities that struggle to survive to the conflicts derived from globalised tourism. The aim of this research is to calculate the pedestrian accessibility to the cultural and educative network of Córdoba (Spain), consisting in all the facilities of the city, in order to check the access possibilities of the whole population to them. Cartographic data collected from diverse sources have been analysed in order to define space–time areas and percentage of population living in each one of them. The results have been gathered in a set of maps (1:38,000) representing the whole urban area of the city, built and planned, as an educative and cultural entity.

Title: Oil and gas development and small business lending in U.S. nonmetropolitan counties
Abstract:
How does the presence or absence of small business loans affect the emergence and development of rural businesses in traditionally underserved areas? Further, how has capital-intensive oil and gas development contributed to these lending patterns? In our ongoing work, we have established that locally oriented businesses such as small manufacturing establishments and retail outlets are associated with many beneficial local outcomes and promote nonmetropolitan community resilience. Using a longitudinal dataset based on annual public disclosures, we employ data on lending in more than 3,000 United States counties to build analytical visualizations. We provide relevant documentation through spatial statistics for future research on small business lending in underserved nonmetropolitan communities.

Title: Handmade tortilla production in the basins of lakes Pátzcuaro and Zirahuén, Mexico
Abstract:
The Main Map presented in this paper is the result of intensive fieldwork and mapping of 43 rural communities of the Pátzcuaro and Zirahuén basins in central-western Mexico. It shows the presence of handmade-tortilla workshops and considers the natural resources they demand but also their social, economic and cultural significance in the region. An in-depth survey of 111 Hand Made Tortilla Workshops gave detailed information of tortilla production, type of maize and fuelwood volume demanded in this activity. Traditional tortilla production contributes to the conservation of native maize and indigenous agriculture, and it promotes local and traditional food systems. However, it also represents a challenge given that many of these handmade tortilla workshops use open fire stoves which have negative implications regarding health, environment and pollution in rural livelihoods. This map serves as a platform for local and regional actions within a program involved in eco-technologies and sustainable livelihoods.

Title: Forgotten fields: mid-nineteenth century land use and characterisation in the South Downs National Park using the tithe surveys of England and Wales.
Abstract:
The map and underlying geodatabase presented here at a scale of 1:25,000 (Main map) covers approximately 300 km2 of the catchment of the lower Rother valley in West Sussex, within the South Downs National Park, southern England. It offers a unique view of land use based on the Tithe Surveys created during the early part of 1840s. This new and rigorously compiled empirical material serves as an exceptionally robust research resource to inform river catchment management planning, with potential to guide landscape restoration, steer sustainable farming activities and, conceivably, to facilitate scenario modelling of plausible land use futures during a period of great uncertainty regarding rural land management in the United Kingdom. The current map and geodatabase are the products of the Forgotten Fields Project, the intention being to extend the coverage to neighbouring catchments and thus provide a large-scale mapping resource and information portal for wide-ranging land management applications.

Title: Soaring unemployment in Czechia during the global economic crisis
Abstract:
This study presents an analysis and visualisation of the evolutionary dynamics of unemployment at the municipal level in Czechia during the global economic crisis. The analysis is based on a monthly time series of unemployment data at a detailed territorial level. Namely, there are 6,258 municipalities in Czechia, which makes it particularly suitable for a detailed investigation of the unfolding and evolution of the recent crisis. Our focus is on analysing and mapping the spatiotemporal patterns of unemployment using variability and autocorrelation measures. Given the detailed territorial level of our analysis, large-scale maps will be presented to assist with interpretation and analytical conclusions. The Main Map (1:600 000) shows the categories of municipalities according to the rate of unemployment and its evolutionary dynamics. Three additional maps (1:1 400 000) visualise the results of spatiotemporal analyses.

Title: A bimodal accessibility analysis of Australia’s statistical areas
Abstract:
The map presented in this paper summarises the combined land- and airside accessibility within Australia. To this end, we calculate a bimodal accessibility index at the scale of statistical units by aggregating the (shortest) travel time for three route segments: (1) road travel from the origin to a departure airport, (2) air travel, and (3) road travel from an arrival airport to the destination. The average travel time from a statistical unit to all other statistical units is calculated for the units’ population centroids, after which an accessibility surface is interpolated using kriging. The map shows that southeastern Australia is generally characterised by a high accessibility index with the most populated cities being hotspots of accessibility. Central and northern Australia are – with few exceptions – far less accessible. In addition to this largely-expected pattern, the map also reveals a number of specific and perhaps more surprising geographical patterns.

Title: Rural and non-rural municipalities in the Slovak Republic
Abstract:
Identifying rural, non-rural or urban areas in Slovakia, Central Europe, is a complex task for extensive transformation of countryside during the last decades. The processes of suburbanization, which started in Slovakia in the 1990s after the change of the political regime, also contributed to this complexity. Therefore, the identification of rural / urban regions is even more difficult. Our research focuses on the application of a multidimensional approach to delimitation of rural and non-rural areas where the aim is to establish a rurality index that presents a more comprehensive definition of the rurality. We used the Factor Analysis of socio-economic data to show rural and non-rural transitional character of municipalities. The resulting data were assigned to spatial polygons of municipalities of the Slovak Republic and visualized as choropleth maps categorizing the spatial units based on the strength of the rurality. In this way, the spatial aspects of rural vs. non-rural character in Slovakia can be perceived and compared with other sources of spatial information.

Title: Selective migration of population in functional urban regions of Slovakia
Abstract:
Majority of research on urban development perceive migration as internally homogeneous phenomenon that influences growth and spatial redistribution of population. This enables to identify certain general migration patterns, but understanding regularities and consequences requires looking at internal structure of migration. This paper aims to visualise the impact of selective migration to the population structures across multiple spatial scales and in a complex way taking Slovakia as the case study. By this means spatial patterns of migration are demonstrated in a more efficient way. The resulting maps show the impact of migration is selective at various spatial levels regarding age and educational attainment. In comparison with general migration, selective migration shows stronger spatial polarisation in Slovakia.

Title: Late-glacial and Holocene European pollen data
Abstract:
The European Pollen Database (EPD) is a community effort to archive and make available pollen sequences from across the European continent. Pollen sequences provide records that may be used to infer past vegetation and vegetation change. We present here maps based on 828 sites from the EPD giving an overview of changes in postglacial pollen assemblages in Europe over the past 15,000 years. The maps show the distribution and abundance of 54 different pollen taxa at 500 year intervals, supported by new age-depth models and associated chronological uncertainty analysis. Results show the individualistic patterns of spread of different pollen taxa, and provide a standardized dataset for further analysis, defining a spatial context for the study of past plant and vegetation changes and other aspects of environmental history in Europe.

Title: Geology of the Pergola–Melandro basin area, Southern Apennines, Italy
Abstract:
The Southern Apennines (SA) are part of the Apennine–Maghrebian chain, a segment of the circum-Mediterranean Alpine orogenic system. It is a NE-verging fold-and-thrust belt with an about N150°-striking axis developed since the late Oligocene-early Miocene. The Geological Map at 1:25,000 scale of the Pergola–Melandro basin area, presents a sector of the axial zone of the SA which represents a key area to reconstruct the tectonic evolution of this chain. The map describes the complex structural and stratigraphic relationships between the three main tectonic units forming this sector of the SA: (1) the carbonate slope succession of the Maddalena Mts Unit, interpreted as the eastern boundary of the Apennine carbonate Platform; (2) the Lagonegro Unit, resulting from the deformation of the homonym pelagic basin; (3) the strongly deformed Argille Variegate Group sandwiched between the two previous units. Three main contractional tectonic stages, occurring from middle Miocene to Pliocene, have been recognized. Since Pliocene times low-angle extensional tectonic contacts and tectono-gravitative detachments affected the tectonic pile.

Title: Post flash flood survey: the 14th and 15th October 2015 event in the Paupisi-Solopaca area (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
In this paper, a 1:5000 map of the geomorphic consequences of the 14th–15th October 2015 flash flood is presented. The most severely affected area (about 13 km2) was located at the footslope of Mt. Camposauro (Southern Italy), between the municipalities of Solopaca and Paupisi. In this area high-intensity and very localized cloudbursts of short duration induced hillslope erosion and sediment delivery from the slopes to the Calore River, activating several alluvial fans. The rainstorm lasted 7 h with a maximum recorded rainfall peak of nearly 140 mm in 2 h. The event map resulting from a geological and geomorphological post-event field survey was supported by satellite images and unmanned aerial vehicle image interpretations, respectively taken one day and one week after the event. The flash flood resulted in no casualties but severely affected the local economy, mainly based on agriculture and wine production.

Title: Morphodynamics of a Mediterranean microtidal wave-dominated beach: forms, processes and insights for coastal management
Abstract:
The aim of this study is to present a new morphodynamic map (1:10,000 scale) of a wave-dominated sector of a Mediterranean ria-type coast (NE Sardinia, Italy). The area has been studied since 1995 with respect to its geomorphological and sedimentological processes. Our map is produced using topographic-bathymetric, textural and compositional data collected during different surveys conducted from 1995 to 2014. The Main Map shows forms, processes and deposits of the coastal belt, as well as the main geological outcrops, structural elements and the areal distribution of seagrass, mainly Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile and Caulerpa prolifera (Forsskaal) Lamouroux. The map is useful for beach management purposes. It is noteworthy that the role of P. oceanica in the littoral area is twofold: (1) acts as a barrier to siliciclastic material from the backshore; and (2) a producer of biogenic/bioclastic sediment. Based on side-scan sonar images, the P. oceanica meadow appears to be threatened by direct mechanical damage caused by boat anchoring and mooring activities. The human impact on dune habitats has also been recognized and is related to pedestrian and vehicular transit, boat storage and infrastructure for bathing.

Title: Pseudokarst caves of the Outer Western Carpathians, Czechia
Abstract:
The paper presents complex results of a dataset related to the pseudokarst caves in the area of the Czech Outer Western Carpathians. We collected the data from all 130 discovered and described caves of different types and dimensions in various geomorphic units and lithologies. We mainly focus on the results of the morphometric parameters of the caves as well as of the areas with their entrances. The final map sheet presents the Main Map with the position of the caves, their size category, type, classification of the position within the slope deformation and natural protection status. Moreover, the final map sheet also contains a supplementary map of the distribution of the caves, diagrams of their morphometric parameters, detailed maps of Mraznica and Cyrilka Caves, a graph of overwintering bat species in Cyrilka Cave and structural measurement diagrams. The map is intended to be used as introductory material into the problems of pseudokarst caves.

Title: Soils of Barbués and Torres de Barbués, Ebro Basin, NE Spain
Abstract:
Irrigation is needed for profitable agriculture in the central Ebro valley, one of the driest regions in Europe. In this region, aridity and outcrops of saliferous strata induce soil salinity in some irrigated districts. We present a soil map of two municipalities (about 32 km2) coping with soil salinity and currently changing their irrigation from flood to pressurized systems. The 1:25,000 scale map displays 27 Soil Series following the Soil Taxonomy approach and records local pedodiversity for the first time. The scale of the map and its delineation on orthophotographs enables users to locate each agricultural plot (typical size ∼1 ha) and to assign the soil information relevant for irrigation, and then a Soil Phase for salinity. Saline soils occur in irrigated areas totaling 24% of the total surface of the two municipalities studied. The salinity mapping plus other soil features used for map unit definition (texture, stoniness, and available water holding capacity), allow recommendations about the design of irrigation system enhancements.

This paper demonstrates advantages of remote sensing (RS) technologies and methods for mapping subsurface drainage systems (DS) in the landscape. It describes a method of DS identification that is based on acquisition of multispectral data from several sources at various times in order to determine the relevant conditions and criteria for visualization of DS features in these images. Analysis of RS data is used to create thematic geodatabases and map layers of the DS, locations of their damage, or local soil waterlogging, providing up-to-date and precise digital records of the condition and location of DS in land parcels. This information is presented as map outputs for seven test localities in the Czech Republic with areas of 10–80 km2. Sample maps are processed in greater detail and at a larger scale to better illustrate the features.

Title: Climatic regionalisation of continental Chile
Abstract:
The updated Köppen–Geiger climate classification for continental Chile is a cartographic product of great interest for climate research in the South American context. This study included 200 weather stations and climate surfaces at a scale of 1:1,500,000. The results indicate that the climates of continental Chile are essentially arid (B), temperate (C) and polar (E), the latter due to the elevation of the Andes. The predominant climates are high tundra (ET) and mediterranean (Cs). We have concluded that the use of climate surfaces enables the development of new classifications and indices as a function of scale. With respect to latitude, the climates of northern Chile are arid due to the Atacama Desert, and those of southern Chile are temperate, ranging from mediterranean to marine west coast.

Title: Geomorphology of four wave-dominated microtidal Mediterranean beach systems with meadow: a case study of the Northern Sardinia coast
Abstract:
The results of this geomorphological study, which focuses on four Mediterranean embayed microtidal wave-dominated beach systems and the related inner shelf, are reported on a detailed geomorphological map (1:12,000 scale). The study area is located between Punta di Li Francesi and Lu Poltiddolu in NW Sardinia, W of the Strait of Bonifacio. The Main Map presents geomorphological, sedimentological, hydrodynamical and ecological (underwater vegetation) features indicated in nine sections of the map legend. Integrative maps (1:40,000 scale) of side-scan sonar surveys, sedimentary facies, survey routes and sampling point locations are also represented on the Main Map. This work summarizes 25 years of historical geomorphological datasets and can be considered as a reference for future comparisons of the study area as indicated by current European legislation. In addition to the scientific value of this study, the proposed map can be an important tool for coastal, beach and inner shelf management.

Title: Snow avalanche hazard of the Krkonoše National Park, Czech Republic
Abstract:
This paper presents a snow avalanche hazard map of the most avalanche-prone mountain range in the Czech Republic, the Krkonoše Mountains. The map was prepared using historical records of 1132 avalanches which occurred over the last 54 years and state-of-the-art modelling of avalanche propagation and the spatial distribution of potential avalanche source areas. The map provides not only reliable and easy to understand information for the Mountain Rescue Service of the Czech Republic and mountain tourists, but also for land use managers to identify areas where new avalanche paths may develop under favourable conditions, including the total removal of forest cover.

Title: Organic carbon and total nitrogen topsoil stocks, biogenetic natural reserve ‘Marchesale’ (Calabria region, southern Italy)
Abstract:
It is essential estimating the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen (STN) stocks and their spatial-temporal variations to understand the role of soil in ecosystem services and in the global cycles of carbon and nitrogen. This work was aimed to quantify and map the stocks of SOC and STN in topsoils in an area of the Biogenetic Natural Reserve ‘Marchesale’ (Calabria region, southern Italy). Forest soil samples (0–20 cm depth) were collected at 231 locations and analysed in laboratory for SOC and STN. Moreover, in all samples, bulk density (BD) and soil coarse fragments (SCFs) were determined. Geostatistics was used to map all soil properties (SOC, STN, BD and SCFs) and the stocks of SOC and STN. The mean stock values were 86.3 Mg ha−1 for SOC and 5.1 Mg ha−1 for STN. The total amounts stored in the study area (33.2 ha) were 2865.2 Mg for SOC and 170.1 Mg for STN. Although only the topsoil was considered, the accompanying maps (1:4000 scale) will be useful for the sustainable management of the Biogenetic Natural Reserve ‘Marchesale’ and for undertaking appropriate conservation plans to mitigate the emissions of greenhouse gases.

Title: Changes in glacier surface cover on Baltoro glacier, Karakoram, north Pakistan, 2001–2012
Abstract:
The presence of supraglacial debris on glaciers in the Himalaya-Karakoram affects the ablation rate of these glaciers and their response to climatic change. To understand how supraglacial debris distribution and associated surface features vary spatially and temporally, geomorphological mapping was undertaken on Baltoro Glacier, Karakoram, for three time-separated images between 2001–2012. Debris is supplied to the glacier system through frequent but small landslides at the glacier margin that form lateral and medial moraines and less frequent but higher volume rockfall events which are more lobate and often discontinuous in form. Debris on the glacier surface is identified as a series of distinct lithological units which merge downglacier of the convergence area between the Godwin-Austen and Baltoro South tributary glaciers. Debris distribution varies as a result of complex interaction between tributary glaciers and the main glacier tongue, complicated further by surge events on some tributary glaciers. Glacier flow dynamics mainly controls the evolution of a supraglacial debris layer. Identifying such spatial variability in debris rock type and temporal variability in debris distribution has implications for glacier ablation rate, affecting glacier surface energy balance. Accordingly, spatial and temporal variation in supraglacial debris should be considered when determining mass balance for these glaciers through time.

Title: High-resolution aeromagnetic survey of Calabria (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
We present a 1:350,000 high-resolution magnetic anomaly map of Calabria (Southern Italy), obtained by merging the results from two low-altitude aeromagnetic surveys performed in southern and northern Calabria. Magnetic anomalies of Calabria are of low intensity, and mostly range from 11 to –9 nT. Northern Calabria is characterized by positive anomalies in the Tyrrhenian margin (Coastal Chain) that turn into negative values moving eastward in the Sila Massif. Southern Calabria is characterized by slightly positive anomaly values, interrupted by a null magnetic anomaly corridor roughly corresponding to the eastern margin of the Gioia Tauro basin. Finally, anomaly values turn systematically negative in the Messina Straits. Due to the unprecedented resolution (low flying height, spatial sampling along the flight line of ∼5 m and 1–2 km flight line spacing), the new map highlights, in detail, the geometry and setting of the upper crustal features. As Calabria is one of the most seismically active regions in Italy, hit by several high-magnitude earthquakes in recent centuries, the interpretation of this new map will hopefully contribute to new insights into the crustal geological setting, location and dimension of the main seismogenic sources.

Title: Soil texture derived from topography in North-eastern Amazonia
Abstract:
We present a 1:100,000 scale soil texture map of Paragominas county (Pará, Brazil), covering 19,330 km2. The method allows rapid production of a soil texture map of a large area where the strength of a duricrust controls the relief. It is based on an easily accessible explanatory variable, topography, which is represented using a Digital Elevation Model. The method makes it possible to map the spatial distribution of the texture of the topsoil layer. Modelling was complemented by field observations to identify the laws governing the spatial organisation of soil textures. The spatial variability of the elevation above sea-level of the duricrust was obtained by Kriging. The error rate of the resulting map is 26%, and the observations of the four soil texture units were respectively 78%, 90%, 41% and 60% accurately located.

Title: Geology of Elu Inlet and Melville Sound, Nunavut, Arctic Canada
Abstract:
We present the results of helicopter- and field-based geological mapping of Elu Inlet and Melville Sound, Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut, Arctic Canada. The area includes a ∼150 km-wide belt of Proterozoic sedimentary rocks that unconformably overlie the Archean Slave Province of the Canadian Shield and are cross-cut by Neoproterozoic mafic rocks and covered by early Palaeozoic deposits. This work introduces an updated sedimentologic, stratigraphic, and structural framework for the area and is corroborated by geophysical analysis of natural radioactivity. Three Proterozoic sedimentary sequences have been identified, spanning in age from ∼1.9 to ∼1.2 Ga, and including fluvial–aeolian sandstone and shallow-marine carbonate rocks. Mass-spectrometric analyses identified above-baseline concentrations of uranium along the unconformities underlying the two oldest Proterozoic sequences. Proterozoic deposits display weak deformation, related to syn-orogenic foreland and intracratonic-sag stages of the Kilohigok and Elu basins, respectively.

Title: Geomorphology of the Ceyhan River lower plain (Adana Region, Turkey)
Abstract:
We present a geomorphological map (Main Map) of the lower plain of the Ceyhan River (Adana province, Turkey). Data from three field campaigns and remote sensing observations were managed in a GIS to produce a 1:25,000 scale map. The area, mostly formed by alluvial sediments, is characterized by intense fluvial dynamics with superimposed agricultural activity. Erosional processes prevail on rocky ridges partially bordering the plain on the north-eastern side. The alluvial plain is flanked by large alluvial fans on its eastern side, whereas the western limit consists of a smoothed and undistinguishable watershed. Alluvial and deltaic deposits close to the river mouth are bordered southward by nested coastal dunes, lagoons, swamps and marshes punctuating the coastal belt. This area was an important historical site, as documented by evidence of settlements from the Neolithic. The map is a useful tool to support further archaeological research.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the northern Kivalliq region, Nunavut, Canada, with an emphasis on meltwater drainage systems
Abstract:
This paper presents a glacial geomorphological map of glacial lineations, ribbed terrain, moraines, meltwater channels (subglacial and ice-marginal/proglacial), eskers, glaciofluvial deposits, ice-contact outwash fans and deltas and abandoned shorelines on the bed of the former Laurentide Ice Sheet in northern Canada. Mapping was compiled from satellite imagery and digital elevation data and landforms were digitised directly into a Geographical Information System. The map reveals a complex glacial history characterised by multiple ice-flow events, including fast-flowing ice streams. Moraines record a series of pauses or re-advances during overall SE retreat towards the Keewatin Ice Divide. The distribution of subglacial meltwater landforms indicates that several distinctive scales and modes of drainage system operated beneath the retreating ice sheet. This includes a large (>100 km) integrated network of meltwater channels, eskers, ice-contact outwash fans and deltas and glaciofluvial deposits that originates at the northern edge of Aberdeen Lake. The map comprises zone 66 of the Canadian National Topographic System, which encompasses an area of 160,000 km2. It is presented at a scale of 1:500,000 and is designed to be printed at A0 size.

Title: The influence of geological–morphological and land use settings on shallow landslides in the Pogliaschina T. basin (northern Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
On 25 October 2011, the eastern Liguria (Vara Valley and Cinque Terre area) and northwestern Tuscany (Magra Valley) were affected by an extreme rainstorm (almost 600 mm/24 h) that caused floods, thousands of shallow landslides, 13 casualties and damage to villages and infrastructure. This study aims at analysing the main features of the 25 October 2011 shallow landslides occurred in the Pogliaschina Torrent basin (25 km2 wide, Vara Valley), in order to investigate the influence of specific predisposing factors (land use, geological and structural setting, plan and profile curvature, slope angle and aspect) on landslide occurrence. For this purpose, both a landslide inventory map and a geology map (scale 1:10,000) were prepared. In addition, a database including the main geological, geomorphological, structural and land use features of the landslide source areas was implemented. The relationship between landslide source areas and the main predisposing factors was evaluated through spatial and statistical analysis.

Title: Spatial loess distribution in the eastern Carpathian Basin: a novel approach based on geoscientific maps and data
Abstract:
Geo- and palaeoecological studies in the Carpathian Basin require a detailed knowledge of the distribution of aeolian sediments. Existing maps are not detailed enough and erroneous as a result of the basic input data and scale used. Here we present a map showing the detailed distribution of loess sediments in the Carpathian Basin at the border of Hungary and Romania using a Geographic Information System and the vectorized, statistically analysed geological map of Hungary (scale 1:300,000) and the Romanian pedological map (scale 1:500,000). Both, the Hungarian and the Romanian data sets were combined and transferred into a common loess sediment classification system resulting in a seamless cross-border map showing the loess distribution in the Carpathian Basin at a scale of about 1:500,000.

Title: Geomorphology of Mount Ararat/Ağri Daği (Ağri Daği Milli Parki, Eastern Anatolia, Turkey)
Abstract:
This paper presents a geomorphological map of Mount Ararat/Ağri Daği in Eastern Anatolia (Turkey). Mount Ararat/Ağri Daği is a volcanic complex covered by a unique ice cap in the Near East. The massif is the result of multiple volcanic phases, and present day landforms are the result of subsequent and overlapping glacial, periglacial, and slope processes. The geomorphological mapping of Mount Ararat/Ağri Daği was firstly performed on the basis of desktop studies, by applying remote-sensing investigations using high-resolution satellite imagery (PLEIADES and SPOT images). A preliminary draft of the map was crosschecked and validated in the field as part of an interdisciplinary campaign carried out in the 2014 summer season. All the collected data suggest that the Mount Ararat/Ağri Daği glaciation played a crucial role in the evolution of the landscape and that even today glaciers are significant features in this area. Currently, ice bodies cover 7.28 km2 and include peculiar glacier types. Among these are three well-developed debris-covered glaciers, flowing down along the flanks of the volcano.

Title: Geomorphology of the Mount Akdag landslide, Western Taurus range (SW Turkey)
Abstract:
This paper presents the results of a geomorphological investigation of Mount Akdag landslide complex, located on the Western Taurus range, SW Turkey. The landslide, resulting in the collapse of a 5 km segment of Mount Akdag, covers an area of 9.8 km2 and has a volume of about 3 × 108 m3. The 1:15,000 scale geomorphological map (Main Map) of the Akdag landslide presented here was produced from a combination of field studies and unmanned aerial vehicle-based DSM, including aerial-photo interpretation and geomorphometric analysis of landforms. The map shows contemporary and past geomorphological hillslope processes and landforms associated with the landslide complex. Our new map suggests that the Akdag landslide was a complex rockslide consisting of multiple landslide types that developed through various movements. We found that 43 highly developed and active mass movements on the main body and side slopes of the landslide made a major contribution to the sediment input. The sediment produced in the upstream severely threatens the touristic site of Saklikent Canyon in the lower catchment via an increasing magnitude of torrents. This map will provide important data for local and national administrators regarding monitoring up-to-date mass-wasting processes, understanding the landslide and its related sedimentary dynamics, and implementing risk assessment and necessary precautions.

Title: Tectonics, ore bodies, and gamma-ray logging of the Variscan basement, southern Gennargentu massif (central Sardinia, Italy)
Abstract:
We present a structural geological map (1:14,000 scale) that covers a 100 km2 area of Variscan basement rocks exposed in central Sardinia. The mapped area is located between 39°56′20′′ N 9°04′59′′ E (northwestern corner) and 39°51′47′′ N 9°13′16′′ E (southeastern corner) on the southern slope of the Gennargentu massif, surrounding the mining village of Gadoni. This village was the hub of a mining district in central Sardinia. The region extends between the external and inner nappe zones of the Variscan orogenic wedge of Sardinia. Despite significant mining, the area lacked an up-to-date structural and stratigraphic synthesis comparable to that achieved in the southern Sardinia. This gap in knowledge was due to: (i) more complex structural deformation; (ii) slightly higher grade regional metamorphism including a late Variscan high-temperature overprint; (iii) difficulty in distinguishing terrigenous stratigraphic units that belong to different tectonic units; and (iv) the absence of key stratigraphic marker for resolve complex structures in the uppermost tectonic unit. Integration of field mapping, structural analysis, portable gamma-ray spectroscopy, and zircon U-Pb ages of intrusive rocks has enabled a new geological map and cross-sections. These contributions synthesize the collisional and postcollisional evolution of the region and its relationship with ore genesis.

Title: Geology of the ‘Coltre della Val Marecchia’ (Romagna-Marche Northern Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
A detailed geological map at 1:50,000 scale of the Marecchia Valley and adjoining areas (Northern Apennines, NA, Italy) is presented here. The Marecchia Valley represents a geological ‘unicum’ for the NA and it has been the focus of scientific debate for a long time, due to the occurrence in the area of the ‘Coltre della Val Marecchia (CVM)’, a complex stack of allochthonous and semi-allochthonous units emplaced in a foredeep basin during the Late Miocene to Early Pliocene. In order to clarify the geological evolution for this area, the lithostratigraphic relationships and the tectonic framework have been studied, allowing better understanding of the complex relationships between tectonics and sedimentation. The main result has been a new evolutionary framework for this sector of the orogen during the Late Miocene-Early Pliocene. Several new findings about the geological-structural setting and stratigraphy, result from the geological map presented here. These are overall supported by stratigraphic and tectonic evidence, which suggest time and modes of the CVM allochthonous emplacement within the Messinian-early Pliocene foredeep successions. Relationships between the allochthonous and autochthonous formations allowed recognition of two different bodies in the CVM, gravitationally emplaced following different trajectories and timing.

Title: Geology of the Shakespeare quadrangle (H03), Mercury
Abstract:
By using images acquired by the Mercury dual imaging system (MDIS) on-board the MESSENGER spacecraft during 2008–2015 and available DTMs, a new 1:3,000,000-scale geological map of the Shakespeare quadrangle of Mercury has been compiled. The quadrangle is located between latitudes 22.5°–65.0°N and longitudes 270.0°–180.0°E and covers an area of about 5 million km2. The mapping was based on photo-interpretation performed on a reference monochromatic basemap of reflectance at 166 m/pixel resolution. The geological features were digitized within a geographic information system with a variable mapping scale between 1:300,000 and 1:600,000. This quadrangle is characterized by the occurrence of three main types of plains materials and four basin materials (pertaining to the Caloris basin), whose geologic boundaries have been here redefined compared to the previous map of the quadrangle. The stratigraphic relationships between the craters were based on three main degradation morphologies. Furthermore, previously unmapped tectonic landforms were detected and interpreted as thrusts or wrinkle ridges.

Title: Natura 2000 protected habitats, Massaciuccoli Lake (northern Tuscany, Italy)
Abstract:
The Massaciuccoli Lake (northern Tuscany, Italy) Natura 2000 habitat map (1:10,000) was compiled from photo-interpretation and recent phytosociological studies, integrated by field surveys of the vegetation units. Conventional geographical information system procedures were used to select and manage spatial information. The following attributes were assigned to each map polygon: (i) vegetation type, (ii) habitat typology and (iii) percentage cover of the habitat type. Habitat types covering polygons smaller than 50 m2 were treated as points. A total of nine Natura 2000 habitat types were identified and mapped; they cover almost 20% of the study area. The results show that of all sites on the Italian peninsula, Lake Massaciuccoli Calcareous fens with Cladium mariscus covers the largest surface area and is crucial for the national conservation of this habitat type. It is also of priority importance in Europe.

Title: Surficial geology of the Saybrook 7.5-minute Quadrangle, Mclean County, Illinois, USA
Abstract:
This project involved the construction of a surficial (Quaternary) geologic map of part of McLean County, Illinois. The Saybrook 7.5-minute Quadrangle (scale 1:24,000) was the focus area. The quadrangle largely covers rural agricultural land, but also contains the small town of Saybrook. Multiple, major episodes of glaciation over the past 1,200,000 years have controlled the regional geologic history. The most recent (Wisconsin Episode) glaciation almost exclusively shaped the observed surficial geologic and geomorphic features in the quadrangle. Field observations, USDA soil survey data, private water well data, sparse stratigraphic borehole information, and LIDAR elevation data were used to construct the map. Computational methodologies included ACD Systems Canvas™ and Adobe Acrobat™ software. The surficial geologic map includes four lithostratigraphic units. In stratigraphic order (from oldest to youngest) are the Delavan Member, Tiskilwa Formation, Batestown Member, Lemont Formation, Henry Formation, and Cahokia Formation.

Title: Surface morphological types and spatial distribution of fan-shaped landforms in the periglacial high-Arctic environment of central Spitsbergen, Svalbard
Abstract:
A 1:19,500 map of the Petunibukta region documents the spatial distribution of almost 300 colluvial and alluvial fans (together with their catchments) in the periglacial high-Arctic environment of Svalbard. Fan-shaped landforms were mapped using an orthophoto and digital elevation model generated from 2009 aerial photographs and a 2013 high-resolution satellite image using Geographic Information Systems. Four additional maps at a scale of 1:40,000 provide details about the morphometric characteristics of the studied fans: long- and cross-profiles, slope and aspect. Additionally, parameters such as fan and catchment area, relief, length, width, elevation (the lowest point at the fan toe, apex, and the highest point of the catchment boundary), fan mean plan and profile curvatures, fan relation to neighbouring fans, are also presented. Fans were classified according to the dominant processes shaping their surface: colluvial fans (n = 229), alluvial fans dominated by debris flows (n = 49), and alluvial fans dominated by fluvial flows (n = 19).

Title: Geomorphology of marine and transitional terraces and raised shorelines between Punta Paulo and Porvenir, Tierra del Fuego, Straits of Magellan – Chile
Abstract:
This paper presents a coastal geomorphology map of some of the Chilean region of the Straits of Magellan, and is based on a combined geomorphological and sedimentological approach applicable to a larger section of the coast. The mapped area is located in Tierra del Fuego between the Segunda Angostura of the Straits of Magellan and Bahía Inútil. A detailed geomorphological map was compiled at a scale of 1:50,000, describing a sequence of 4 marine and transitional (glacio-lacustrine to marine) terrace orders and raised marine shorelines found between 0 and + 20 m. These features are mainly linked to glacio-eustasy and secondarily to Holocene neo-tectonics. This research derives from the interpretation of aerial photographs and remote sensing imagery along with geomorphological-stratigraphic field surveys and geochemical data. The Main Map illustrates an area with dominant palaeo-glacial and glacio-lacustrine morphology with extensive lacustrine deposits and well-developed lake systems characterising the Porvenir region.

Title: Geomorphology of Ius Chasma, Valles Marineris, Mars
Abstract:
Cartographic products of the Martian trough system, Valles Marineris, are useful to identify the diversity and complexity of geological activity that has occurred there. A huge fraction of the processes that have shaped the surface of Mars are also concentrated there. A geomorphological map of Ius Chasma in western Valles Marineris is presented. The map is published in three sheets at 1:260,000. It was drawn on the basis of 100 Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s Context Camera images of 12 m/pixel resolution, mosaiced using the USGS ISIS Planetary Image Processing Software, and subsequently mapped and interpreted for geomorphology in ArcGIS. The map displays 52 main geomorphological units of which some are further subdivided. They include both well-established features (e.g. spur-and-gully morphology on trough walls, landslide scars, and deposits), and newly reported landforms (e.g. alluvial fans with dendritic channels, moraines in western Ius Chasma). The proposed classifications of landslide deposits, glacial landforms, and floor areas are more detailed than on any previous map of Valles Marineris. The Ius Chasma map is the first cartographic product presenting a full inventory of dune fields, impact craters, light-toned outcrops, and mass-wasting features.

Title: Geology of the Gobi Altai and Tseel terranes in the central part of the Sagsai River Watershed, SE Mongolian Altai
Abstract:
A geological map is an indispensable tool for understanding the structure of the Earth’s crust but high-quality geological maps are usually lacking in remote areas of mountainous Central Asia covered by vast deserts. The progress in remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS), as well as the advancement in analytical methods, have generated new challenges in producing modern geological maps in such regions. The presented 1:50,000 geological map along the Sagsai River summarizes new and more accurate geological data from the geologically interesting region at the contact of the supracrustal and deep crustal Tugrug and Tseel units forming the metamorphosed accretionary wedge on the S and SW slopes of the Mongolian Altai. These geological units are formed by the lower Palaeozoic volcano-sedimentary sequences affected by Devonian Barrovian metamorphism ranging from lower greenschist to granulite facies. This metamorphic basement was subsequently intruded by the post-orogenic late Carboniferous Sagsai Pluton. The presented map shows complex relationships between different crustal levels of the metamorphosed accretionary wedge and post-tectonic intrusion evaluated using a GIS, numerical processing of remote sensing data as well as field documentation and laboratory studies.

Title: Tectono-stratigraphic architecture of the Ionian piedmont between the Arso Stream and Nicà River catchments (Calabria, Southern Italy)
Abstract:
Along the northern Ionian margin of Calabria, three Neogene basins comprise wedge-top depozones containing syntectonic deposits which cover the frontal part of the fold-thrust belt. One of the best exposed onshore allochthonous siliciclastic successions is represented by the Cariati Nappe, cropping out in the Cirò Basin. Field geological mapping and aerial interpretations were used to characterize the stratigraphy and tectonics of the area between the Arso Stream and Nicà River catchments (about 170 km2), including a Paleozoic metamorphic basement complex unconformably overlain by Upper Oligocene to Quaternary siliciclastic deposits and minor carbonates. This paper presents a 1:25,000 scale map of the Ionian study area, providing lithological and structural data towards reconstructing its tectono-sedimentary evolution.

Title: Mountain building in NW Sicily from the superimposition of subsequent thrusting and folding events during Neogene: structural setting and tectonic evolution of the Kumeta and Pizzuta ridges
Abstract:
We present a 1:25.000 scale geological map of the Kumeta-Pizzuta ridge in north-western Sicily (Italy), achieved by integrating stratigraphic, structural and geophysical data. In this area, the tectonic edifice results from the piling-up of deep-water-, carbonate platform- and pelagic platform-derived tectonic units (Imerese and Sicilide, Panormide and Trapanese domains, respectively) resulting from deformations of the former southern Tethyan continental margin. The structural setting shows interference of tectonic events, different types of structural styles and different scales of deformational patterns. Early overthrust of the Imerese on the Trapanese units (since the late Serravallian) was followed by wedging at depth of the Trapanese units (after the Tortonian). The wedging implied re-embrication and shortening into the overlying Imerese tectonic units and so produced the main folding and compressive to transpressive structures along the Kumeta-Pizzuta Ridge. Seismic reflection profiles integrated with field data reveal that the main E-W-trending anticlines have been offset by high-angle reverse faults flattening at depth until they connect with low-angle, regionally widespread, decollement surfaces with a northward tectonic transport. This setting supports backthrusting along transpressional faults in the study area, ruling out that the Kumeta ridge is a positive flower structure related to a near-vertical deep, crustal, shear zone as formerly suggested.

Title: Late Holocene landscape evolution of the Gulf of Naples (Italy) inferred from geoarchaeological data
Abstract:
The mapping of landforms in the Gulf of Naples is fundamental to understanding the recent evolution of this perithyrrenian basin controlled by several systems of Quaternary faults and characterised by the presence of the Campi Flegrei and Somma Vesuvius volcanoes. In this paper a 1:85,000 map of the recent evolution of the Gulf of Naples coasts is presented. This cartographic product has been obtained using a compilation of previously published geoarchaeological coastal studies integrated with new field data. The morphogenetic map suggests a differential evolution of various coastal stretches over the past 2000 years driven not only by measured vertical ground movements and eustatic sea-level rise (of 1 m) but also by eruptions of Mt. Vesuvius, in particular the Plinian eruption of 79 AD and the subsequent reworking of it’s products, as well as by the erosive action of the sea.

Title: Veteran trees and saproxylic insects in the floodplains of Lower Morava and Dyje rivers, Czech Republic
Abstract:
Veteran and solitary trees are key structures supporting biodiversity in many wooded ecosystems. Their global decline threatens numerous organisms associated with them, including several insect species protected by law that serve as umbrella species. The floodplain along the lower Morava and Dyje rivers is considered a hotspot for saproxylic organisms associated with veteran trees. The area is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and part of NATURA 2000. Between 2006 and 2015, we mapped 11,596 veteran and habitat trees in the area. The mapping also included the distribution of several insects associated with veteran trees including three beetle species (Cerambyx cerdo, Osmoderma barnabita, and Eurythyrea quercus) and two ant species (Liometopum microcephalum and Lasius fuliginosus). The data on the position, abundance, diameter, forest structure and health of the veteran trees and trees inhabited by the above species are presented in a map created in ArcGIS Online. These data serve as an important source of information for the management of nature conservation of the area.

Title: Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility of the Pyrenean granites
Abstract:
In this paper, we report on a compilation of more than 2200 sites (more than 10,000 individual measurements) where anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) was studied in granites from the Variscan Pyrenees. The standardization and homogenization of this information has allowed us to produce three Main Maps that synthesize all the information related with the AMS of the Pyrenean granites. We also describe the problems found during the construction of the database (variable geo-positioning, different published information, etc.). The information derived from 21 granite bodies, the database, and the synthesis maps (magnetic susceptibility, Km, and the orientation of the magnetic foliation, plane perpendicular to k3, and of the magnetic lineation, k1) allow us to see for the first time a complete image of this important kinematic and petrographic indicator.

Title: Dune habitats of the Migliarino – San Rossore – Massaciuccoli Regional Park (Tuscany – Italy)
Abstract:
Here we present a map of dune habitats (in accordance with Directive 92/43/EEC, MD 20 January 1999) developed from a long-term survey of dune vegetation in the Migliarino San Rossore Massaciuccoli Regional Park, northern Tuscany, Italy. The 1:7500 map covers a total area of about 394 ha, was created in the geographical information system environment for print and digital versions. The aim of this work, in addition to outlining the current vegetation landscape in the printable map, is to monitor changes in dune habitats on the digital version. Phenomena such as coastal erosion and human pressure can be monitored in order to identify appropriate management tools for mitigating or eliminating disturbance factors. The shape and spatial coverage of habitats, identified by previous vegetation surveys in the field, were drawn on the basis of orthophotos using MapInfo®. The study reveals numerous highly significant habitats in terms of conservation, which are often significantly altered in terms of their distribution and surface area due to human activities and coastal erosion.

Title: Flooding in ephemeral streams: incorporating transmission losses
Abstract:
Streamflow in semi-arid lands commonly occurs in the form of flash floods in dry-bed ephemeral streams. The goal of this research was to couple hydrological and 2D hydraulic model treatments of channel transmission losses, in order to show the impact of not taking transmission losses on flood hazard mapping into consideration. For hydraulic modeling the reach that is located between flumes 2 and 1 in the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed was tested. Two hydraulics models were set up, the first does not incorporate channel transmission and the second was developed to take into account several hydrographs with transmission losses as boundary conditions. The error in volume and peak runoff rate between the observed and simulated data ranges was in the order of –4.5–34.4% for runoff volume and –16.4–9.6% for peak runoff rate. The computation output interval time in the hydraulic model was 60 s and the duration of flood inundation was 6.67 h. There are important differences in depth between the two flood maps, with 0.68 maximum and 0 m minimum. The importance of using models with the dynamic treatment of transmission losses is the ability to provide an improved estimate for flood hazard mapping.

Title: Periglacial geomorphology of summit tors on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, SW England
Abstract:
Three maps are presented that portray the periglacial geomorphology of the three summit areas of Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, SW England, including Brown Willy (scale 1:2630), Kilmar/Bearah/Sharp tors (scale 1:3335) and Rough/Little Rough/Showery tors (scale 1:2175). Landform elements include castellated tors with well-developed cantilevered or precariously balanced corestones, summit blockfields, rock-fronted lobes thought to record former permafrost creep, patterned ground (stripes) and lower slope accumulations of crudely stratified growan or weathered granite residue. The altitudinal arrangement of these periglacial landforms appears to be a signature of a well-established periglacial landsystem and hence the Bodmin Moor granite massif is a suitable exemplar for a mature upland periglacial landsystem unaffected by glacierization.

Title: Skaftafellsjökull, Iceland: glacial geomorphology recording glacier recession since the Little Ice Age
Abstract:
A 1:5700 scale map of the recently deglaciated foreland of Skaftafellsjökull, Iceland as it appeared in 2007, depicts a typical active temperate glacial landsystem with a clear pattern of sequentially changing push moraine morphologies, including remarkable hairpin-shaped moraines, indicative of spatial and temporal variability in process-form regimes in glacier sub-marginal settings. Similar to other Icelandic glacier forelands, this demonstrates that the piedmont glacier lobes of the region have developed strong longitudinal crevassing and well-developed ice-marginal pecten during their historical recession from the Little Ice Age maximum moraines, likely driven by extending ice flow and poorly drained sub-marginal conditions typical of the uncovering of overdeepenings. Additionally, the localized development of a linear tract of kame and kettle topography is interpreted as the geomorphic and sedimentary signature of thrust stacked and gradually melting debris-rich glacier ice, a feature hitherto unrecognized in the Icelandic active temperate lobe landsystem signature.

Title: A geomorphic assessment to inform strategic stream restoration planning in the Middle Fork John Day Watershed, Oregon, USA
Abstract:
A geomorphic assessment of the Middle Fork John Day Watershed, Oregon, USA, was used to generate a hierarchical, map-based understanding of watershed impairments and potential opportunities for improvements. Specifically, we (1) assessed river diversity (character and behavior) and patterns of reach types (and their controls); (2) evaluated the geomorphic condition of the streams; (3) interpreted their geomorphic recovery potential; and (4) synthesized the above into a hypothetical, strategic management plan. Collectively, these maps can set bounds and provide realistic guidance for river rehabilitation, design and implementation efforts. Fifteen distinct reach types were identified, two-thirds of which are found along perennial streams. On the basis of a variety of geo-indicators, approximately two-thirds of all perennial stream reaches were found to be in ‘good’ geomorphic condition, whereas one-third had departed to ‘moderate’ and ‘poor’ condition. Departures from ‘good’ condition were primarily related to riparian vegetation removal, conversion of floodplain to agricultural land uses (farming and grazing), logging, and channel bed dredge mining for gold. Encouragingly, the majority of reaches classified as being in moderate geomorphic condition were found to have high recovery potential. While our geomorphic assessment has practical utility for informing physically realistic expectation management for efforts like salmonid habitat restoration, the maps themselves are the key vehicle for communicating and visualizing among stakeholders.

Title: Quaternary marine and continental unconformity-bounded stratigraphic units of the NW Sicily coastal belt
Abstract:
In the coastal sector of NW Sicily, the regional correlation of relevant unconformities recognised within the Quaternary sedimentary successions allowed the mapping of seven unconformity-bounded stratigraphic units (UBSUs). The regional unconformities are marine or subaerial erosional surfaces, as well as non-depositional surfaces, locally marked by paleosoils. The erosional surfaces were produced from marine abrasion, surface water overland/concentrated flow, river erosion, karst solution, mass movement, or wind erosion. The main lithofacies of the Quaternary UBSUs consist of: (a) marine and coastal bioclastic calcarenites, (b) aeolian sandstones, (c) river deposits, (d) colluvial deposits, (e) talus slope deposits, (f) landslide deposits, and (g) chemical carbonates (travertines and speleothems). Quaternary environmental changes, due to tectonics, climate, and sea-level oscillations, are the causes that favoured the development of erosion/deposition processes responsible for the genesis of unconformities and deposits. As a result, through the UBSU map of the NW Sicilian coastal belt, it is possible to: (i) recognise stratigraphic units controlled by tectonic, climatic, and environmental processes (and their interplay) and (ii) detect Quaternary sedimentary evolution.

Title: Geomorphology of the Curueño River headwaters, Cantabrian mountains (NW Spain)
Abstract:
The article presents the 1:25,000-scale geomorphological map of the upper reaches of the Curueño River, on the southern slope of the Central Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain. The study area spans approximately 125 km2 and corresponds to the 1:25,000-scale Spanish National Topographical Map Sheet 104-I of Lugueros. The area is moderately mountainous with elevation ranging from 1100 to 2100 m.a.s.l. The main landforms are river gorges, karst, and glacial landforms. The map legend contains 78 elements divided into 9 groups: litho-structural, polygenic, karst, fluvial, glacial, periglacial, nival, gravitational, weathering, and anthropic forms. The map was prepared using Esri ArcGIS with the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM, Zone 30) projection. In addition, a database and style set were created for each landform with the goal of using this set of symbols in other areas and performing complementary mapping of geologic and geomorphologic risk, protection of natural geoheritage, land-use classification, and applied geomorphology.

Title: Geology of Piemonte region (NW Italy, Alps–Apennines interference zone)
Abstract:
The geological map of Piemonte Region (Italy) is a graphic representation of the geology of the region, grounded on a large geodatabase, that can be also browsed as an interactive scalable map (GeoPiemonte Map) using a WebGIS application. The Map, produced at 1:250,000 scale, is the first original release of the ‘GeoPiemonte Map’ project. The geological data represented on the map derive from a thorough revision of available geological maps and literature, integrated with unpublished original data. The revision and harmonisation of existing and new data have been based on explicit criteria used for the classification of geologic units and their representation on the Map. These criteria firstly aimed at providing a lithostratigraphic, hierarchic subdivision of Piemonte geologic units and describing them using shared concepts and vocabularies, consistent with IUGS Descriptive Standards for the Geosciences.

Title: Evaporite sinkholes of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region (NE Italy)
Abstract:
Sinkholes are common in the Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG) Region (NE Italy), where the presence of karstifiable rocks favours their occurrence accelerated by intense rainfalls. Their existence has been reported since the end of the 1800s along the Tagliamento Valley, in correspondence with the mantled evaporites (gypsum). Furthermore, tens of evaporite sinkholes have been documented on the reliefs adjacent to the village of Sauris and along the narrow W-E-oriented valleys, where regional faults have played a major role in their spatial distribution. This paper reports for the first time an inventory of the sinkholes affecting the evaporites of the FVG Region. These phenomena were mapped and categorised using a genetic classification. The main output is an A0-format map, which incorporates a 1:50,000 scale Sinkhole Inventory Map (SIM). The SIM encompasses 552 sinkholes. The cover suffosion sinkholes are the most abundant, followed by bedrock collapses. There is a clear prevalence of the circular shape (65%) over other shapes. Diameters are 1–140 m, with depths ranging 0.1–40 m with a mean value of 4.5 m. The SIM can motivate regional planning authorities to perform further investigations aimed to understand the geomorphological evolutions of these phenomena.

Title: Visibility analysis and landscape evaluation in Martin river cultural park (Aragon, Spain) integrating biophysical and visual units
Abstract:
The European Landscape Convention (ELC) has encouraged affiliated countries to develop several assessment methodologies to facilitate land management in an effort to develop compatible, integrative assessment techniques that can be applied in diverse geographic settings. Here we begin to address the question of how to develop comprehensive landscape assessments based on the criteria of the ELC by integrating landscape studies using biophysical and visual characteristics. We assessed visibility, quality, and fragility to determine aptitude for protection based on both biophysical and visual landscape units. We selected the Martin River Cultural Park (Aragon, Spain) as a study area because it is recognized as a site of cultural and geomorphological importance, it is situated in a signatory country to the ELC, but has not been subject to any landscape assessment. The resulting maps of aptitude for protection can be used to prioritize landscapes for protection based on their levels of quality and fragility.

Title: Geomorphological mapping of terrestrial and marine areas, northern Malta and Comino (central Mediterranean Sea)
Abstract:
This paper presents an integrated geomorphological map of terrestrial and marine areas of northern Malta and Comino (central Mediterranean Sea) at 1:25,000 scale. The map is the result of terrestrial and marine analyses of different types of data such as aerial photos, digital terrain model of the seafloor and its acoustic backscatter image. The research is intended to emphasise the relationships and continuity of geomorphological features of both the land- and sea-scape, and outline their evolution. The map highlights the occurrence of fluvial, karst and gravity-induced landforms both on land and on the seafloor, such as palaeo-fluvial channels, sinkholes and landslides, which were shaped during sea level lowstands of the last glacial cycle.

Title: Digital soil map of Quintana Roo, Mexico
Abstract:
A digital soil map of Quintana Roo was compiled at a 50 m pixel resolution using a geomorphopedological approach to produce a map that reflects a synoptic view of the geomorphology, environmental conditions and associated soils. Initially, it was developed using a geopedological approach and then converted to a digital map. The map was derived from soil-forming factors using mathematical methods to infer information in places where data were not available. Its compilation included three stages; the first two follow the geopedological approach that consists of a synthesis of data from the characterization of the geomorphological landscapes (vertical dissection, karst geomorphometrics, failures, geology) and soils, and the third stage incorporating environmental components (climate and vegetation) and related variables through various methods of statistical analysis (cluster, principal components and classification analysis) to obtain the pattern of soil distribution and to develop a model for the digital soil map of the study area.

Title: Landscape diversity of the Czech Republic
Abstract:
This study presents an analysis and visual representation of landscape diversity in the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic is administratively subdivided into regions, which are further subdivided into districts; the basic territorial units used for the calculation of diversity were the districts. Landscape diversity was calculated from the freely available CORINE Land Cover (CLC) data for the Czech Republic. Additional data (the district and region layers) were taken from the digital vector geographic database of the Czech Republic ArcČR® 500. The Main Map (scale 1:600,000) shows landscape diversity calculated on the basis of Shannon entropy. For the purposes of visual representation, the effective number of categories in each district were calculated; the map also shows the prevailing type of land cover in each district. For comparison, an accompanying map shows landscape diversity at the regional level. Other accompanying maps contain information on CLC data, which is closely connected with landscape diversity. The four accompanying maps are at a scale of 1:1,800,000. Further information is also presented in addition to the maps (representation of CLC categories in the Czech Republic, brief texts characterizing the basic methodology used: CLC and the calculation of landscape diversity).

Title: Analysis of fabric evolution and metamorphic reaction progress at Lago della Vecchia-Valle d’Irogna, Sesia-Lanzo Zone, Western Alps
Abstract:
The Lago della Vecchia-Valle d’Irogna rocks are part of the Eclogitic Micaschists Complex (EMC) of the Sesia-Lanzo Zone, western Austroalpine domain. The 1:10,000 scale map includes metaintrusive, minor micaschist, banded gneiss, and metabasic boudins. The multiscale structural analysis reveals successive magmatic and tectono-metamorphic stages: during M0 the metaintrusive protoliths emplaced; D1 took place under eclogite-facies conditions; during D2 stage, a pervasive foliation developed under retrograde blueschist-facies conditions; D3–D4 and D5 structures developed under greenschist-facies conditions; during M6 andesitic dykes intruded. The mapped degree of fabric evolution (FE) and metamorphic transformation (MT) related to D2-foliation shows that the MT was not only controlled by bulk rock and mineral compositions, but also by FE. The development of a pervasive blueschist-facies D2-foliation is in contrast with the eclogitic dominant fabric generally recorded in the EMC. This difference suggests that FE and MT are potentially responsible for km-scale heterogeneities in the tectono-metamorphic record.

Title: Pluvial flood hazard in the city of Rome (Italy)
Abstract:
The map shows the result of a procedure for pluvial flood hazard (PFH) mapping in urban areas, developed by using easy to find data, usually available from local authorities. Data were processed using a sequence of tools in a GIS environment. Two parameters have been evaluated: (1) susceptibility, defined as the probability of a flood occurring in a certain area (‘flood-prone areas’) which depends on the ground morphology (i.e. presence of depressions, fill volume of depressions) and spatial density of previously observed floods and (2) potential impact, formed from all factors influencing the damage (e.g. value of exposed heritage or number of people potentially involved), as well as the induced hazard due to damage. Susceptibility and potential impact were each divided into five classes and a score matrix was constructed; the final PFH is then defined by the summation of the scores within the matrix. The methodology used is suitable for a comprehensive, mostly automatic, first-level analysis of PFH in urban areas, and it is easily replicable. The obtained flood hazard map could provide a useful tool for civil protection purposes, that is, for hazard evaluation and emergency planning.

Title: Geology of the Falcón Basin (NW Venezuela)
Abstract:
This paper presents a geological map and cross-section of the Falcón Basin based both on published and unpublished work and on new data collected in the northern and southern basin margins. The geological map covers an area of 4600 km2 at 1:100,000 scale. The cross-section is oriented NNW-SSE, traversing perpendicular to the main structures. In general, the structure of the study area results from the inversion of a graben (Oligocene-early Miocene back-arc basin), that started in the middle Miocene due to the convergence between the Caribbean and South American plates. The map, the cross-section and the observations made in the field have been used to generate a tectonostratigraphic reconstruction of the Falcón Basin. The Oligocene-early Miocene sedimentary succession mapped and described is relevant to the hydrocarbon exploration in the Caribbean and in the Gulf of Venezuela, where new hydrocarbon resources have recently been discovered (i.e. Perla gas field).

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the south Swedish uplands – focus on the spatial distribution of hummock tracts
Abstract:
We present the first comprehensive glacial-landform map of the south Swedish uplands (SSU), deglaciated 15–13 ka ago, using one consistent method and dataset; a Light Detection and Ranging-derived digital elevation model. In particular, this map focuses on the spatial distribution of hummock tracts. The distribution of hummock tracts reinforces previous thinking of a broad lobate east–west zone of hummocks across the southern part of the SSU. But this map also reveals a pattern of hummock tracts confined in what we call hummock corridors that have a radial pattern sub-parallel to the overall ice-flow direction. Hummocks occur in a wide variety of morphologies, but we also show the distribution of two distinct forms: V-shaped hummocks and ‘ribbed moraine’. Cross-cutting relationships between hummocks and glacial lineations indicate a more complex chronology than previously suggested. In places, lineations are overlain by hummocks and in other places hummocks are overlain by lineations. Additionally, directional variation of glacial lineations together with a complex end-moraine pattern suggests a dynamic ice sheet with multiple small lobes. Finally, mapped end moraines help to better correlate the deglacial timescales of western and eastern Sweden.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Brabazon & Butler Downs, Rangitata Valley, South Island, New Zealand
Abstract:
The inland valleys of New Zealand’s South Island were heavily glaciated during the last glacial cycle. Subsequent fluvial incision has eroded out glacial deposits from the valleys in many locations, making it difficult to reconstruct glacial dynamics and chronology. The Brabazon and Butler Downs lie in a fault-controlled intra-montaine basin that has been largely protected from fluvial erosion and the area contains extensive evidence for multiple glacial margins. This paper presents a detailed glacial geomorphology map of the Brabazon and Butler Downs at a scale of 1:20,000. Glacial landforms have been mapped and subdivided into three main zones: an upper zone distinguished by a flight of kame terraces, a middle zone containing kettles and meltwater channels, and a lower zone of lateral moraines. The new map provides insight into former glacial environments in the region and provides a related framework for future paleoclimate reconstructions.

Title: Morphotectonics of the Pescara River basin (Central Italy)
Abstract:
This work presents a morphotectonic map of the Pescara River basin (1:40,000 scale), located in the piedmont-hilly area of the central-eastern Apennines (Abruzzo Region, Italy), and stretching from the eastern slope of the chain (Maiella Massif, Morrone Mt. and Gran Sasso Range) to the Adriatic coast. It is the outcome of an extensive drainage basin-scale geomorphological analysis and incorporates four main sections: orography and hydrography; morphotectonics; azimuthal analysis of the morphotectonic elements; Quaternary fluvial deposits and morphotectonic profiles. The morphotectonic map provides a basis for the study of morphotectonic features at basin-scale, the reconstruction of paleo-landscapes with special regard to drainage network evolution, and the recognition of tectonic control and selective erosion on the landscape. It also contributes to an outline of the main phases of the post-orogenic landscape evolution of the piedmont-hilly area of the Apennines, resulting from the link of alternating morphotectonic and surface processes.

Title: Geomorphology of the mouth of the Arosa estuary (Coruña-Pontevedra, Spain)
Abstract:
This paper presents a geomorphological analysis of the littoral zone of the Arosa-Pontevedra estuary mouth and identifies geomorphological units and categorizes them into morphogenetic systems. The different morphogenetic systems are used to establish a comprehensive evolutionary analysis, contrasting the depositional systems found in the continental littoral zone with the marine erosional systems (‘rasas’). The compiled cartography groups the geomorphological units into the following: the lithoestructural morphogenetic system with large-scale forms (domes, inselbergs, residual relief, etc.) and small-scale forms (gnammas, tafoni, channels, etc.); the littoral morphogenetic system comprised of marine (marine terraces, beaches, tidal bars, tombolos and coastal arrows), transition (marshes, lagoons and fan deltas) and eolian (dune systems) settings; the fluvial morphogenetic system with channelled (alluvial, flood plain and river terraces), transition (alluvial fans and alluvial cones) and sheet flood (pediments and glacis) systems; the gravitational morphogenetic system (colluvium); and the alteration morphogenetic system (sand-alteration).

Title: Plio-Quaternary geology of L’Aquila – Scoppito Basin (Central Italy)
Abstract:
We present a geological map at 1:25,000 scale of the Plio-Quaternary L’Aquila-Scoppito intermontane basin (central Italy), which corresponds to the epicentral area of the 6th April 2009 L’Aquila earthquake (Mw: 6.29). The map is derived from geological field surveys at 1:5000 scale and takes into account previously published maps. It is supported by a fine-scale LiDAR digital elevation model, paleontological analyses, 14C dating, well log analyses of deep boreholes, and geophysical data interpretation. By taking into account that the remarkable historical and present-day seismicity of the area is the result of its Plio-Quaternary geological evolution, the aim of this study is to produce a fine-scale geological map of the study area through a comprehensive analysis of the occurring Plio-Quaternary synthems and the tectonic processes that are taking place within it.

Title: Impact of massive deep-seated rock slope failures on mountain valley morphology in the northern Cottian Alps (NW Italy)
Abstract:
Deep-seated rock slope failures represent effective mechanisms of natural rock mass-wasting, able to radically change mountain-valley morphology. In the northern Cottian Alps, an extraordinary concentration of instability phenomena occurs in extensive areas of the Susa and Chisone valleys. In the Main Map, at a scale of 1:30,000, a new representation of these deep-seated rock slope failures is proposed. Major effort has been invested in properly distinguishing between sackung-type deep-seated gravitational slope deformations and large landslides. Gravitational phenomena have affected the mountain landscape, with the development of impressive morphostructural features such as multiple-crested ridges and ridge top depressions. In the middle and distal portions of the slopes, sagging and toe bulging impose a marked change in the valley-slope profiles, in turn inducing secondary slope instabilities. Furthermore, mature deep-seated gravitational deformations and large landslides have, in some cases, made a significant impact on valley bottom morphology due to a partial or complete valley dam.

Title: Glacial landforms of northwest Saskatchewan
Abstract:
A comprehensive map of glacial landforms is presented for the area of northwest Saskatchewan, Canada. Remote sensing of 1-arc (∼30 m resolution) Shuttle Radar Topography Mission digital elevation models over an area of approximately 15,000 km2 were used as the primary data source for landform identification. A total of 16,856 landforms were identified pertaining to Quaternary glacial and postglacial activity. Ten landform types were mapped: ice flow parallel lineations (flutings, drumlins, mega-scale glacial lineations, and crag-and-tail ridges), moraines (major and minor), ice-thrust ridges, crevasse-fill ridges, meltwater landforms (major and minor meltwater channels and eskers), palaeo-shorelines and dunes. Collectively, these landforms constitute a glacial and postglacial landform record, which exhibits a more complex pattern than previously recognised, with evidence of multiple cross cutting ice flow directions. This geomorphological mapping of the regional landform record provides the prerequisite for future reconstructions of the glacial dynamics and chronology of northwest Saskatchewan.

Title: Geology and mass movements of the Licetto River catchment (Calabrian Coastal Range, Southern Italy)
Abstract:
The paper presents a detailed mass movement inventory map of the Licetto River basin, an intermountain catchment of 50 km2 formed during the Quaternary in response to extensional tectonics dissecting fold-and-thrust belts of the Calabrian Coastal Range (Southern Italy). The map (Main Map) is the result of both an integration between geological and morphological data derived from the visual analysis of aerial photographs at different times and scales, and the collection of new data obtained from multi-temporal field surveys. The study area is affected by a total of 824 mass movements, frequently made by superimposed bodies of different types, states of activity and sizes, including some kilometre-scale Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope. The majority of the mapped landslides, mainly of slide type, involve low-grade metamorphic rocks which also show the exclusive presence of deep-seated gravitational slope deformations. Analysis of the inventory map revealed that 40% of the mapped landslides, often attributable to very slow-moving landslides, can be considered active. The Main Map represents a useful tool for territorial planning and engineering – geological and environmental purposes in this complex geo-structural area, providing a useful contribution for quantitative landslide risk analyses and the design of appropriate risk-mitigation measures.

Title: Seabed sediments (grain size) of Nordland VI, offshore north Norway
Abstract:
This paper presents a seabed sediments (grain size) map of the Nordland VI area (25,000 km2) off the Lofoten islands, north Norway. The map is based on multibeam echosounder data (bathymetry and backscatter), visual analysis of 215 video transects (each 700-m long), and visual and grain-size analysis of seabed sediment samples from 40 sampling stations acquired by grabs, boxcores and multicores. A total of 14 sediment classes were identified, with sediments varying in grain size from mud to boulders. Seabed types also include bedrock and bioclastic sediments from degrading cold-water coral reefs. The continental shelf is mostly characterised by coarse-grained sediments such as gravelly sand and sandy gravel, especially in till areas. In basins and glacial troughs, finer-grained sediments such as sandy mud and muddy sand dominate. The upper continental slope (300–600-m water depth) is characterised by coarse-grained sediments related to the influence of the strong north-east flowing Norwegian Atlantic Current. In deeper areas, finer-grained sediments are prominent. Below 1000-m depth, mostly mud and mud with sediment blocks occur.

Title: Bedrock geology of the Paleozoic rocks of western New Haven quadrangle, Connecticut
Abstract:
The Paleozoic rocks underlying the western third of the New Haven Quadrangle, Connecticut, are mapped at a scale of 1:24,000. This area of ∼41.5 km2, previously mapped only in reconnaissance, contains polymetamorphic argillites and mafic rocks. The northern portion of the mapped area contains the pelitic Wepawaug schist, whereas the southern portion is underlain by the pelitic Savin Schist. Between them lies the Maltby Lakes Complex (MLC) that contains newly identified fault slivers of variably metamorphosed mafic phyllites and amphibolites. Metamorphic foliations in both the MLC and the Savin Schist are truncated by a swarm of basalt dikes: the Allingtown porphyry, which is itself commonly schistose and locally mylonitic. Previous interpretations held that these rocks constitute a conformable, northwest-topping stratigraphic sequence. In contrast, we propose that Ordovician(?) oceanic rocks of the MLC were variably metamorphosed and faulted against the Ordovician(?) Savin Schist. These were intruded by a swarm of stitching Allingtown dikes. This package of rocks was then faulted against Siluro-Devonian(?) Wepawaug forearc sediments. Existing thermochronology indicates a Devonian age of the subsequent regional metamorphism, overprinted by low-grade Permian fabrics associated with dextral transpression and final terrane assembly.

Title: Geology of the area between Golo and Tavignano Valleys (Central Corsica): a snapshot of the continental metamorphic units of Alpine Corsica.
Abstract:
The area between Golo and Tavignano valleys in Central Corsica (latitudes 42°23′12,18″N to 42°18′24,60″N, longitudes 9°07′49,30″E to 9°11′35,90″E) is characterized by the occurrence of continental metamorphic units belonging to the Lower Units of Alpine Corsica. These units, also known as Corte Slices, represent the fragments of the European continental margin involved in the continental subduction and the subsequent collision, both resulting from the closure of the Ligure-Piemontese oceanic Basin. These units are thus characterized by complex, polyphased deformation history developed under blueschist to greenschist metamorphic facies conditions during the Late Eocene to Early Miocene time span. In the study area, the Corte Slices have been investigated by a multidisciplinary approach consisting of a detailed mapping associated with meso- and micro-structural analyses and estimate of the P-T conditions of the metamorphic events. The 1:10,000 scale geological map illustrates the results of this approach that has provided a detailed snapshot of the stratigraphic and structural setting of Corte Slices.

Title: The glacial geomorphology of the Lago Buenos Aires and Lago Pueyrredón ice lobes of central Patagonia
Abstract:
This paper presents a glacial geomorphological map of landforms produced by the Lago General Carrera–Buenos Aires and Lago Cochrane–Pueyrredón ice lobes of the former Patagonian Ice Sheet. Over 35,000 landforms were digitized into a Geographical Information System from high-resolution (<15 m) satellite imagery, supported by field mapping. The map illustrates a rich suite of ice-marginal glacigenic, subglacial, glaciofluvial and glaciolacustrine landforms, many of which have not been mapped previously (e.g. hummocky terrain, till eskers, eskers). The map reveals two principal landform assemblages in the central Patagonian landscape: (i) an assemblage of nested latero-frontal moraine arcs, outwash plains or corridors, and inset hummocky terrain, till eskers and eskers, which formed when major ice lobes occupied positions on the Argentine steppe; and (ii) a lake-terminating system, dominated by the formation of glaciolacustrine landforms (deltas, shorelines) and localized ice-contact glaciofluvial features (e.g. outwash fans), which prevailed during deglaciation.

Title: Topographic Maps of Mount Etna’s Summit Craters, updated to December 2015
Abstract:
New maps of the summit of Mount Etna volcano (1:5000–1:4000), derived from helicopter photogrammetry, thermal images and terrestrial laser scanner survey, are here presented. These maps indicate the main morpho-structural changes occurring during the powerful explosive and effusive eruptions involving the summit craters of Etna over the first two weeks of December 2015. The survey enabled identifying the proximal erupted volume (7.2 ± 0.14 × 106 m3) and the size and location of the vent causing the powerful explosive activity inside the Central Crater. Our survey also outlines the growth of a recent (2011–2015) summit cone on top of a former pit crater, named New SE-Crater. This new cone is by now comparable in size to the former SE-Crater. The shape and size of two small cinder cones that formed on the upper eastern flank of the summit zone in May–July 2014 are also shown. This approach can be used in fast and frequent monitoring of very active volcanoes.

Title: Gaussian simulation of nitrate concentration distribution in the Zagreb aquifer
Abstract:
Nitrates present one of the most common groundwater contaminants in the world and one of the five major groups of contaminants in the study area. Gaussian simulation (GS) algorithm was used for determining the spatial distribution of average nitrate concentrations from 2010 to 2015 on 95 sampling points. Results indicate two main focus areas of nitrate contamination, located on the left and right bank of the Sava River. Those areas generally extend according to groundwater flow, while areas near Sava River have much smaller concentrations. GS showed that they can be useful for this kind of mapping because they favor abrupt changes in data values which are in this case a result of heterogeneous lithological composition of the aquifer.

Title: Structure and petrography of the Valle Mosso pluton, Sesia Magmatic System, Southern Alps
Abstract:
The Valle Mosso pluton (VMP) is a Permian granitic body intruded at intermediate to upper crustal levels in the rocks of the pre-Alpine basement of the Ivrea-Verbano Zone and Serie dei Laghi shortly after the end of Variscan orogeny. As a consequence of Triassic to Jurassic rifting and Alpine orogeny, the VMP and surrounding host rocks have been tilted more than 60° from their original Permian polarity. Thus at present day, the VMP offers the rare opportunity to study a roof-to-floor exposure of a granitic pluton, providing insights into pristine geometry of the magma chamber and its relations to the country rocks. This work presents a new drift and solid map of the VMP and its surrounding host rocks at 1:15.000 scale.

Title: Detailed fluvial-geomorphologic mapping of wadeable streams: a proposal of universal map symbology
Abstract:
Detailed maps are important components of fluvial-geomorphological research, connecting several tools, namely field mapping of presented channel and floodplain forms and the assessment of fluvial processes and hydromorphological conditions of current river management. In this paper, we propose a universal map legend for the complex mapping of small stream channels in a detailed scale, which means including both the channel and adjacent floodplain segments. With the help of the symbology we are able to demonstrate both fluvial forms (i.e. individual features, grain size of bed sediments and fluvial deposits) and fluvial processes (i.e. contemporary trends in channels, character of lateral sediment inputs and flow characteristics) in a single map. In total, nearly 150 symbols were proposed and created as a combination of TrueType font and ArcGIS Style files. However, the principle can be used in various software. The work is accompanied by three map examples from the Nízký Jeseník Mts (the Stará Voda Stream) and the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts (the Lubina and Bystrý Streams).

Title: Geology of the Saint-Marcel valley metaophiolites (Northwestern Alps, Italy)
Abstract:
The geological map of the Saint-Marcel valley at the scale of 1:20,000 illustrates the tectonic setting of metaophiolites from the southern Aosta Valley, in the Italian side of the Western Alpine belt. The map highlights the sharp contact between the metaophiolitic basement and its metasedimentary cover, which mainly consists of quartzites, marbles, and calcschists. In spite of the Alpine tectonics, this contact is regarded as deriving from the original oceanic crust/sediments interface. Metaophiolites mostly consist of metabasalts hosting Fe–Cu sulphide mineralisations, characterised by high-pressure metamorphic imprint. These rocks likely represent the shallowest portion of the Tethyan oceanic lithosphere created near the axis of the slow-spreading ridge where hydrothermal fluid circulation was active. Selected key-sections through metasediments reveal a consistent internal lithostratigraphy, in spite of the pervasive metamorphic and tectonic reworking acting during the Alpine evolution. Metasediments reflect various sedimentation episodes starting from pelagic and proximal settings to the onset of the orogenic stage. The Saint-Marcel valley metasediments thus reflect a changing in the sedimentation environments through time and space during the overall geologic evolution.

Title: Deadwood distribution in European forests
Abstract:
National forest inventories are a primary source of data for the assessment of forest resources and lastly more often biodiversity at national scales. The diversity of adopted sampling designs and measurements reduces the prospect for a reliable comparison of generated estimates. The ICP Forest dataset represents a unique opportunity for a standardized approach of forest estimates through Europe. This work aims to provide a distribution map of the mean deadwood volume in European forest. A total of 3243 ICP Forests plots were analysed and presented. The study area extends over 3,664,576 km2 interesting 19 countries. We observed that the highest percentage of plots show a deadwood volume lower than 50 m3 ha−1, with a few of forests attaining around the maximum of 300 m3 ha−1. Forests with more than 100 m3 ha−1 are concentrated in mountainous regions, central Europe and other regions, linked to high-forest management types, while coppices-derived forest systems (part of the Great Britain, Mediterranean region) show lower deadwood content. The map of deadwood volume on European Forests is of interests for scientists, land planners, forest managers and decision-makers, as a reference for further evaluation of changes, stratified sampling, ground reference for model validation, restoration and conservation purposes.

Title: Fusion of Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-2A data for land cover mapping: a case study in the lower Magdalena region, Colombia
Abstract:
Land cover–land use (LCLU) classification tasks can take advantage of the fusion of radar and optical remote sensing data, leading generally to increase mapping accuracy. Here we propose a methodological approach to fuse information from the new European Space Agency Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery for accurate land cover mapping of a portion of the Lower Magdalena region, Colombia. Data pre-processing was carried out using the European Space Agency’s Sentinel Application Platform and the SEN2COR toolboxes. LCLU classification was performed following an object-based and spectral classification approach, exploiting also vegetation indices. A comparison of classification performance using three commonly used classification algorithms was performed. The radar and visible-near infrared integrated dataset classified with a Support Vector Machine algorithm produce the most accurate LCLU map, showing an overall classification accuracy of 88.75%, and a Kappa coefficient of 0.86. The proposed mapping approach has the main advantages of combining the all-weather capability of the radar sensor, spectrally rich information in the visible-near infrared spectrum, with the short revisit period of both satellites. The mapping results represent an important step toward future tasks of aboveground biomass and carbon estimation in the region.

Title: Hydrogeological mapping of heterogeneous and multi-layered ophiolitic aquifers (Mountain Prinzera, northern Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
A few hydrogeological studies have been carried out worldwide in peridotite aquifer systems, despite their wide distribution. The ophiolites are one of the main groundwater reservoir within the northern Apennines (Italy). This paper suggests the graphical solution to set the hydrogeological map of heterogeneous, multi-layered ophiolitic aquifers mapped on large scale (1:1600). The site investigation area is an ophiolite outcrop of the External Ligurian of the northern Apennines: the Mountain Prinzera rock complex area (44°38′30″N, 10°5′E; Parma Province, Emilia-Romagna Region). The hydrogeological characteristics of the tested aquifer system do not allow setting a hydrogeological map by applying usual graphical approaches. The hydrogeological map in such complex aquifer systems will show the classic hydrogeological data but must put in evidence above all (i) the main heterogeneities of the system, from the hydraulic point of view and (ii) the modifications of groundwater scenarios and pathways over time. The hydrogeological database of Mt Prinzera aquifer was managed in ESRI ArcGIS 10.0 software.

Title: Rock glaciers in the Western and High Tatra Mountains, Western Carpathians
Abstract:
A detailed map of rock glaciers at a scale of 1 : 40 000 is produced for the Western and High Tatra Mts., Western Carpathians, based on remotely sensed mapping. We inventoried a total of 383 rock glaciers, covering a total area of 13.84 km2. Most rock glaciers (85 %) are considered relict (without permafrost). These landforms have an average lower limit of 1684 m asl and occupy a total area of 12.50 km2. In contrast, intact rock glaciers (containing permafrost) cover a total area of 1.34 km2 and their average lower limit is located at 1986 m asl, which is 56 m above the previously suggested lower limit of discontinuous permafrost. The inventory adds new information about rock-glacier occurrence in the European high-mountain areas and improves the understanding of present and past environmental conditions in the region.

Title: Household labelling for flash flood emergency management (Chrastava town, Northern Czechia)
Abstract:
Flash floods are natural hazards that may last only a few hours, but their sudden onset often results in severe impacts on society and the environment. Therefore, efforts to reduce flash flood-related losses have primarily focused on the compilation of emergency operation plans (EOPs). Conversely, there have been only a few attempts to provide cartographic representations of EOPs in order to show the spatial context of crisis operations. In the present map and its commentary, we describe a pilot study of flash flood household labelling for use in emergency operations carried out in Chrastava town, Northern Czechia. Analyses of existing geographical databases, together with detailed field surveys, have been performed to map relevant characteristics of 1110 buildings in terms of their location, function, number of residents and degree of flood hazard, as well as the presence of flood-protection measures. The map sheet is composed of the main map (overview of flood extent and impacts) and three supplementary maps (technical and social vulnerability of buildings), and the map key is designed to facilitate strategic planning and directing of emergency operations in the study area.

Title: Generic identification and classification of morphostructures in the Noachis-Sabaea region, southern highlands of Mars
Abstract:
The Noachis-Sabaea region in the southern highlands preserves some of the oldest Martian crust. It records deformation by both endogenic and exogenic processes. This deformation includes giant impacts and their impact stresses, which could have resulted in both the reactivation and modification of pre-impact tectonic structures, in addition to impact-generated tectonic structures. There are also widespread extensional and compressional tectonic structures, which were formed due to endogenic processes. We have produced the first detailed morphostructural map of the Noachis-Sabaea region, which details the characteristics and spatial arrangements of structures in the region, forms the basis for making inferences about Noachian-Hesperian crustal activity, and provides information for further studies regarding the reconstruction of the evolutional history of the region.

Title: Landslide inventory, Teziutlán municipality, Puebla, México (1942–2015)
Abstract:
This article describes the spatial distribution of landslides in Teziutlán, Puebla, Mexico, which has been historically affected by mass movement processes. The most significant disaster associated with landslides in October 1999. Rainfall-triggered landslides and floods caused more than 100 deaths in Teziutlán and economic losses of US$233 million in Sierra Norte de Puebla. A multi-temporal landslide inventory map (1:25,000) for the period 1942–2015 was constructed by means of field observation and the analysis and interpretation of aerial photographs and satellite images. The inventory map includes 662 landslides and covers 163 km2. The total landslide area is in the order of 0.71 km2. Taking into account the scarp, channel and depositional area, the mean surface of the landslides is 1075 m2. The largest documented area was 17,512 m2. The smallest landslide area mapped was 24 m2. Most movements can be considered as having been small.

Title: Geotechnical map of a coastal and industrialized urban area (Avilés, NW Spain)
Abstract:
Geotechnical mapping of urban environments is usually constrained by the scarcity of outcrops during fieldwork. Such is the case of Avilés, a coastal Spanish city that has been heavily industrialized since the middle of the last century. This research approaches the study of its urban subsoil through the development of a Geographical Information Systems-based relational database containing thousands of unpublished ground data, partially extracted from geotechnical reports. This allowed analysing the distribution and changes of thickness of the superficial deposits and lithostratigraphic formations as well as the evaluation of their main geotechnical properties. Thus, 14 geotechnical units were differentiated (hierarchically displayed in three categories) depending on lithological, geotechnical and constructive criteria. As a result, this investigation provides a geo-engineering map at scale 1:25,000.

Title: Historic flood events in NE Romania (post-1990)
Abstract:
Using open-source satellite imagery like Landsat TM, ETM+ and Sentinel 2 can lead to accurate cartographic products. We mapped flood events from Siret and Prut river basins in the last 30 years based on the availability of Landsat data archive. In this area were recorded historical values in flow rates for the entire Romanian territory: 4650 m³/s on the Siret River in 2005 – the maximum value ever recorded for Romania; 4240 m³/s on the Prut in 2008 – second maximum value recorded for Romania. The most powerful floods that took place in Romania in the last years were in 1970, 1975, 1991, 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2011. In this study four years are distinguished by particularly characteristics: 1991, 2005, 2008 and 2010. Developing geo-hydrological hazard maps and adequate analysis at an appropriate scale and as quickly as possible is extremely important from an economic and social point of view.

Title: European annual cosmic-ray dose: estimation of population exposure
Abstract:
The earth is continually bombarded by high-energy cosmic ray particles, and the worldwide average exposure to cosmic rays represents about 13% of the total annual effective dose received by the population. Therefore, assessment of cosmic ray exposure at the ground level is of great interest to better understand population exposure to ionizing radiation. This paper presents and describes the European Annual Cosmic-Ray Dose Map at 1 km resolution (Main Map). The Main Map displays the annual effective dose that a person may receive from cosmic rays at the ground level, which ranges from 301 to 3955 μSv. Moreover, thanks to the availability of population data, the annual cosmic-ray collective dose has been evaluated and population-weighted average annual effective dose (per capita) due to cosmic ray has been estimated for each European country considered in this study. The accuracy of the present study has been confirmed by comparing our results with those obtained using other models.

Title: Intrinsic vulnerability of the Isonzo/Soča high plain aquifer (NE Italy – W Slovenia)
Abstract:
The paper presents the map of intrinsic groundwater vulnerability of the Isonzo/Soča High Plain, which is located between the Collio Hills and the Classical Karst Region and holds an aquifer shared between Italy and Slovenia. The map, produced at a scale of 1:25,000 and printed in A0 format, was obtained by means of the SINTACS method and shows the intrinsic vulnerability of the aquifer in terms of seven vulnerability classes, from extremely high to low. It is accompanied by four supplementary sketches that illustrate the geological framework, the bedrock top surface, the groundwater flow paths, the Hazard Index map and three diagrams that summarize the percentages of vulnerability classes and of Hazard Index classes of the study area.

Title: An integrated sea-land approach for mapping geomorphological and sedimentological features in an urban microtidal wave-dominated beach: a case study from S Sardinia, western Mediterranean
Abstract:
An integrated cartographic approach has been used to summarize different data (geomorphological, sedimentological, hydrodynamic, ecological and anthropic) from an urban microtidal, wave-dominated beach and adjacent inner shelf in a comprehensive and easily readable mapping output. The study area is located in S Sardinia (Italy, Mediterranean Sea) and focuses on Poetto beach. All the data in this study were processed to produce a Main Map (1:6400 scale) showing the key characteristics of the entire area and three detailed secondary maps (1:56,000 and 1:59,000 scale) that include topographic and eco-graphic profiles, the distribution of sedimentary facies and the main anthropic impact. This map, providing detailed information on the beach dynamics, human impact and the marine ecological status of the Poetto urban beach, represents a useful new tool to facilitate environmental conservation and beach management.

Title: Stages of sedimentary infilling in a hypertidal bay using a combination of sedimentological, morphological and dynamic criteria (Bay of Somme, France)
Abstract:
In the context of rising sea level, many estuaries and bays show an overall trend to sedimentary infilling. Among these coastal environments, the Bay of Somme is a hypertidal tide and wave-dominated estuary, filled in by marine sands, with a superficy of 70 km2. This study proposes a spatial zonation of the intertidal area of the bay based on the combination of information on sediments, seabed morphology and dynamics. Data come from a surficial sediment sampling campaign and six airborne LiDAR topographic surveys, acquired over the period 2011–2013, providing information on grain size, carbonate content, bedform occurrence and seabed dynamics. The Main Map shows the morpho-sedimentary and -dynamic zonation used as a basis to describe infilling stages in the bay.

Title: Geomorphic effects caused by heavy rainfall in southern Calabria (Italy) on 30 October–1 November 2015
Abstract:
A severe rainfall event occurred in southern Calabria between 29 October and 2 November 2015, causing two deaths and serious damage to transport infrastructure. Widespread slope erosion and thousands of shallow landslides were triggered on the slopes, combined with flooding and transport of debris along the streams. Rains recorded by the regional gauge network and the national radar monitoring system were analysed by means of Kriging techniques. Ground effects were surveyed in the field, and mapped using post-event air photos taken along the coastal sector. Shallow landslides, soil erosion (including sheet, rill, and gully erosion), flooding, lateral erosion, and debris deposition along streambeds, overflow on lateral slopes, and fan deposition at the mouths of the streams were mapped at 1:60,000 scale. Isohyets of the rainfall event – in terms of cumulative maxima over 24 h – are also shown on the Main Map. In Annex A, a list of notices of processes and/or damage, arranged by municipalities, with coordinates, types of ground effect, and synthetic descriptions, is also provided.

Title: Recent structural evolution of Forni Glacier tongue (Ortles-Cevedale Group, Central Italian Alps)
Abstract:
Structural glaciology yields important details about the evolution of glacier dynamics in response to climate change. The maps provided here document the occurrence and evolution of brittle and ductile structures on the tongue of Forni Glacier, Ortles-Cevedale Group, Central Italian Alps, between 2003 and 2014. Through the remote sensing-based analysis of structures, we found evidence of brittle fractures such as crevasses, faults and ring faults, and ductile structures such as ogives at the base of the icefall in the eastern glacier tongue. Although each of the three glacier tongues have evolved differently, a reduction in flow-related dynamics and an increase in the number of collapse structures occurred over the study period. Analysis of the glacier structural evolution based on the numbers and the locations of different structures, suggest a slowdown of glacier flow on the eastern tongue. The recent evolution of the glacier also suggests that the occurrence of a disintegration scenario is likely to worsen over the next decades.

Title: Geology of the Curone and Staffora Valleys (NW Italy): field constraints for the Late Cretaceous – Pliocene tectono-stratigraphic evolution of Northern Apennines
Abstract:
In the northwestern part of Northern Apennines, between Curone and Staffora Valleys, the tectonic superposition between the External Ligurian Units (i.e. the ophiolitic-bearing chaotic complex of the Groppallo Unit and the non-ophiolitic Cassio Unit), the Middle Eocene – Miocene wedge-top basin Epiligurian Units succession, and the Late Messinian – Pliocene Po Plain succession, records the multistage tectono-stratigraphic evolution from subduction to continental collision. Our geological map, at the 1:20,000 scale, allows us to define 6 main tectonic stages on the basis of (i) the crosscutting relationships between main faults and local to regional stratigraphic unconformities and (ii) the differentiation among different types of chaotic rock unit (olistostromes and broken formations) deposited since Late Cretaceous to late Messinian. This approach provides a new understanding on the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of this sector, and its meaning in the evolution of the northwestern part of Northern Apennines.

Title: Visualization of pesticide residue data
Abstract:
Compared to common data presentation methods such as tables and diagrams, thematic maps have the advantage of directly presenting complex, multidimensional spatial data. In this study, over 500 thematic maps are planned that present pesticide residue data from the inspection of fruit and vegetable samples. The data contain information on the samples, pesticides, sampling locations, maximum residue limits and inspection. Different calculation strategies are used to transform the original data into highly integrated data for cartography based on the demand investigation. During the map design process, standardized design should be used to ensure rigorous and consistent display of cartographic symbols. Two of the maps are used as examples to explain the data processing and map design procedures. The process can be used on all maps in this study and on more complex data.

Title: The glaciated valley landsystem of Morsárjökull, southeast Iceland
Abstract:
A 1:4470 map of the Morsárjökull foreland, southern Iceland shows the spatial distribution of post Little Ice Age glacial sediment–landform associations pertaining to the operation of a typical active temperate outlet glacier of the south Vatnajökull ice cap. The map depicts an exemplar for the debris-charged glaciated valley landsystem, with characteristics further indicative of ‘uncovered alpine glaciers’, such as the uneven distribution of moraine volume, the localized appearance of a fluted subglacial bed and within-valley lateral moraine asymmetry. Such glaciers are characterized by strong glacier-climate coupling, because temporally and spatially sporadic rock avalanche-type medial moraines can only locally retard ablation. This morainic debris also has a short residence time in the glacier system due to its strong coupling with the proglacial fluvial system and resulting in efficient sediment transfer. Areas of more substantial latero-frontal moraine document phases of rock slope failure onto the snout and the passage of the debris to the ice margin.

Title: Improving geological mapping of the Farasan Islands using remote sensing and ground-truth data
Abstract:
We integrated satellite imagery (Landsat-8) with ground-truth data to produce a detailed and complete geological map of the Farasan Islands, off the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia at a scale of 1:100,000. This new map improves upon past efforts by expanding the mapped lithologies on the islands into four categories. We used different techniques to enhance this lithological differentiation, including band combination with ratio stretching and supervised classification techniques based on direct field validation. The former was used to distinguish differences in reflectance values across sets of bands to create a classification image from typical reflectance patterns. The geological feature boundaries were constrained by open-source high-resolution satellite imagery (WorldView-2) as well as field observations. The resulting map clearly distinguishes between different geomorphic and geologic features, including lineaments and lithologies. As the Farasan Islands are relatively remote and not easily accessible, with an area of 739 km2, these imagery-analysis techniques were an effective tool for using remote sensing data to produce new and better mapping products of this important area.

Title: The geomorphology of Svínafellsjökull and Virkisjökull-Falljökull glacier forelands, southeast Iceland
Abstract:
A detailed, 1:10,500-scale, surficial geology and glacial geomorphology map of Svínafellsjökull and Virkisjökull-Falljökull glacier forelands in southeast Iceland depicts the landsystem imprint of Holocene glacier fluctuations, volcanogenic outburst floods and recent (post-1990) climate-induced rapid ice-front retreat. The map is based on field survey data in combination with 2012 airborne LiDAR data, 2009–2012 terrestrial LiDAR data and 2007 colour aerial photography. The base digital elevation model (DEM) is compiled from an ice-cap wide airborne LiDAR dataset. The mapped glacial landforms are dominated by sequences of recessional moraines laid down in the mid-Holocene, the Little Ice Age, and the last ∼100 years; the state of landform preservation generally decreasing with age. Interspersed with glaciofluvial sedimentation associated with typical ice-marginal retreat sequences is key geomorphological evidence of high-magnitude volcanogenic outburst floods (jökulhlaups) associated with the eruptions of Öraefajökull in 1362 and 1727 CE. Ice-front retreat has accelerated since c.2005 leaving a rapidly evolving buried-ice landscape in front of Virkisjökull-Falljökull – including an ice-cored esker, a large ice-floored (supraglacial) lake, and numerous actively forming kettle holes and ice caverns. This map could act as a ‘reference frame’ for geomorphologists studying the temporal evolution of glacial landform-sediment assemblages undergoing rapid change.

Title: Geomorphology of Talacasto alluvial fan, Precordillera of San Juan, Argentina
Abstract:
We present a 1:50,000 geomorphological map of the Talacasto river alluvial fan (93 km2), located in the Central Andean Precordillera of Argentina. The aim of this map is to identify and classify dynamic and potentially destructive geomorphological processes such as gully erosion, headward erosion, concentrated erosion, laminar erosion and similar features that are present in an alluvial fan, so as to identify unstable sectors for public infrastructure. This map is the result of combining remote sensing data, aerial photographs analysis and fieldwork. Landforms and active geomorphological processes are identified, classified and illustrated for this Quaternary alluvial fan. Four Quaternary landscape subunits were classified, taking into account morphogenetic characteristics and erosional processes such as: (1) Exhumed and erosional landforms inducted by neotectonic activity; (2) Alluvial landforms; (3) Polygenetic landforms covered in glacis; and (4) Playa lake landforms. The presence of desert pavements and salt-hardened subsoil formations contributes to the generation and transmission of surface runoff during summer heavy rains, causing alluvial hazards and damages in routes and roads.

Title: Estimation of shipping emissions using vessel Long Range Identification and Tracking data
Abstract:
Shipping is a growing source of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, which are emitted mainly over an international territory, the seas, for which only shared responsibility by all countries is felt. The international community, in particular the International Maritime Organisation, is called to look for appropriate mitigation of these emissions. This starts with the reporting of emissions in an inventory and its mapping over the international territory to be able to then evaluate the effect of emission reduction policies on the environment. Under the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme, Member States are required to provide gridded emissions for the different sectors but the spatial allocation of ship emissions requires a supranational setup to avoid transboundary inconsistencies. By using vessel density maps extracted from historical Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) data, accurate high-resolution maps of emissions can be obtained in support of policy development, implementation and monitoring in the interrelated fields of air quality and climate.

Title: Bioclimates of Italy
Abstract:
The Worldwide Bioclimatic Classification System according to Rivas-Martínez (WBCS) is a bioclimatic classification that is widely used in vegetation science, geobotany, and landscape ecology. To date, only one complete WBCS map has been produced for Italy at the national scale. Here, we define two major updates to the WBCS map of Italy: improvements to the surface spatial accuracy for the climate, especially for precipitation; and detailed mapping of the Submediterraneity Index and its levels, which mainly characterize the ecotone area between the Mediterranean and the Temperate macrobioclimates. Finally, all WBCS units (i.e. macrobioclimates, bioclimatic variants, bioclimates, continentality types, bioclimatic belts) and the Submediterraneity Index are mapped on a scale of 1:2,500,000. These maps and the bioclimatic indices and monthly climatic surfaces are available here as raster data-sets (resolution, 900 m) and are useful for accurate bioclimatic diagnosis for the entire Italian territory. They will also support vegetation–environment relationship analysis, ecological modeling, and applied studies of climate change at the national scale.

Title: Flooding scenario for four Italian coastal plains using three relative sea level rise models
Abstract:
The coastal areas of the central Mediterranean Sea are sensitive to climate change and the consequent relative sea level rise. Both phenomena may affect densely urbanized and populated areas, causing severe damages.Our maps show the land-marine flooding projections as effects of the expected relative sea level rise for four Italian coastal plains using (i) IPCC AR5 estimations, based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 emission scenarios and (ii) the Rahmstorf 2007 model. Isostatic and tectonic data were added to the global projections to estimate the relative sea changes expected along the coastline by 2100, as well as sea-flooding. The northern Adriatic map shows the study area, extending for about 5500 km2, and is presented at a scale of 1:300,000 with two inset maps at a scale of 1:150,000. The Oristano coastal plain is about 125 km2; the map scale is at 1:60,000 with an inset map scale at 1:33,000. The Cagliari coastal study area extends for 61 km2; the map scale is at 1:60,000 with two inset maps at 1:30,000. The Taranto area extends for 4.2 km2 and is represented at a scale map of 1:30,000, while the three inset maps are at a scale of 1:10,000.

Title: Visualisation of the influence of habitat on lichen occurrence, Toruń, Poland
Abstract:
The main aim of the paper was a visual comparison of lichen distribution with urban environmental factors. This paper presents a cartographic method for representing the spatial distribution of anthropogenic and natural factors in atmospheric air pollution and prevalent elements of the natural environment and their correlation to occurrences of two selected lichen species – the acidophilous Hypogymnia physodes and the nitrophilous Xanthoria parietina in the area of Toruń (Central Poland). Lichens are a good indicator of changes in habitat conditions. Analyses of the occurrence of lichens in Toruń were conducted for data covering a period of more than 60 years. A choropleth map method (a square tile grid map) was used, based on a grid of 144 one-kilometre squares (ATPOL). An inventory of taxa was made in 137 squares (localities). This recorded the type of substrate and abundance (extent) of occurrence.

Title: Multi-temporal transect analysis of peri-urban developments in Faridabad, India
Abstract:
Dynamic land-use changes in peri-urban areas in the Global South are often characterized by a juxtaposition of planned and unplanned, formal and informal, legal and illegal developments. India faces rapid (peri-)urbanization and great challenges to govern these sprawling, spatially fragmented, and socially uneven developments at the fringe of cities. Under these circumstances, up-to-date maps of (peri-)urban development processes are essential for effective governance. However, mapping the processes of urbanization is a challenging exercise. The developed map visualizes the heterogeneous spatio-temporal reality of peri-urban India using the case study of the dynamically growing city of Faridabad, a satellite city of Delhi. The multi-temporal map is based on field mapping and the interpretation of Google Earth imagery. These spatial data sources have been triangulated with findings from qualitative semi-structured interviews with different stakeholders, expert interviews, and secondary data in order to incorporate and visualize contextual spatial knowledge in the map.

Title: A synthetic approach to the delimitation of the Prague Metropolitan Area
Abstract:
The main objective of this paper is to apply a synthetic approach to the delimitation of metropolitan areas, which combines traditional commuting data from the population census with alternative approaches. The presented delimitation, which was originally realized in response to a request from Prague’s planning authority, is based on three methodological pillars: the use of economic and social aspects of metropolization; suburbanization; and daily mobility within the Prague Metropolitan Area. Integrated systems of centers calculated from population census data are complemented with the use of mobile phone data. There was a surprising level of similarity in the spatial patterns gained from the two methods. Zones of residential suburbanization and time spent in the core city provided a complex perspective on the daily urban system within the Prague Metropolitan Area. A synthetic map based on the four methods is provided, accompanied by five analytical maps on a smaller scale.

Title: The pulse of the cycling city: visualising Madrid bike share system GPS routes and cycling flow
Abstract:
With the aim of shifting towards a more sustainable urban transport model, cycling mobility is being promoted in many cities and, in consequence, Bike Share Systems have been the focus of attention in an increasing number of studies over the past years. However, we know very little about the impact of these BSS in cities beyond the station level. What paths do cyclists follow? What are the most important urban arteries in terms of cycling flow? These are important questions to be addressed in order to implement policies and infrastructure where they are really needed. The main goal of this study is to visualise the cycling flow derived from Madrid BSS activity, obtained by processing over 250,000 GPS routes, and to provide an analysis of how this flow is distributed across the urban street network at different moments. We explore the diverse levels of use over the course of the day, and during the weekdays, weekends or holidays, as well as the different cycling patterns of frequent and occasional users.

Title: Solar potential of rooftops in Cáceres city, Spain
Abstract:
Climate change is one of the challenges our society has to deal with nowadays. Photovoltaic is one of the main renewable energies and it is gaining ground all around the world. The prediction of solar radiation is crucial for this kind of energy. The aim of this work is to produce a solar potential map of rooftops the city of Cáceres (Spain) providing an overview of the employed methodology. The estimation of global radiation is based on LiDAR data of high density. Historical radiation records have been also employed to define the calculation parameters. The representation of the estimated global radiation on each building provides a wide range of new possibilities in the use of renewable energies and changes the conception of rooftops to a potential source of photovoltaic energy.

Title: Visualizing water infrastructure with Sankey maps: a case study of mapping the Los Angeles Aqueduct, California
Abstract:
Creating resilience for urban water supply systems requires innovative thematic visualizations of the interface between infrastructure, ecology, and culture to viscerally engage lay audiences in the policy making process. Sankey maps (a hybrid Sankey diagram/flow map) embed the systemic accounting of flows between sources and sinks into a spatial framework. This allows a hierarchy of visual variables to encode environmental conditions and historical data, providing a rich multivariate context supporting public discourse, policy making, and system operations. The article features a Sankey map of the Los Angeles Aqueduct system (California, USA) (not to scale).

Title: Mapping the changing residential geography of White British secondary school children in England using visually balanced cartograms and hexograms
Abstract:
In the context of debates about segregation within the UK, this paper maps the residential geography of two groups of White British school children, one of which was in secondary school in 2011 and the other in 2017. To present that geography, hexograms are introduced as a complement to visually balanced cartograms, both of which seek to address the problems of invisibility and distortion encountered with more conventional choropleth and cartogram maps. The nature of these problems is introduced, our solutions discussed, and the methods applied to the case study, which allow changes in the geography to be seen.

Title: Land suitability assessment of the Olomouc region: an application of an Urban Planner model
Abstract:
This paper and accompanying maps focus on a land suitability assessment of the Olomouc region in the Czech Republic. All results were calculated in Urban Planner, a model designed by the authors of this paper. The method of calculation is based on a multi-criteria analysis (weighted overlay method), respects the principles of sustainable development, and allows for execution of several scenarios. The main result of this work is a set of maps. The first map sheet shows the land suitability for housing, recreation, public services, heavy industry, light industry, and transportation. The second map sheet consists of four maps showing different scenarios of land suitability for housing: one map showing the evaluation of existing proposals for housing from urban plans, and one map showing optimal areas for housing calculated by the Urban Planner model. The maps can be used as a significant source of information about the suitability of development in the Olomouc region in geographic or urban studies, both for experts and the general public. All thematic maps are on the scale of 1:125,000; supplementary maps are smaller.

Title: An accessible Brno city centre for people with impaired mobility
Abstract:
Accessibility mapping is an emerging initiative across the world since people with impaired mobility are becoming more and more integrated into mainstream society. People with impaired mobility include, for example, wheelchair users, elderly people, pregnant women, or people with babies in prams or with children under three years of age. They can constitute up to 30% of the population. This paper therefore aims at creating the map for the ‘Accessibility Guide to Brno City Centre for People with Limited Mobility’ published in a paper and on the Web by Brno City Municipality (Czech Republic) in cooperation with Masaryk University between 2012 and 2016. Issues with respect to methodology, visualisation, as well as perception are discussed (Main Map). The developed map presents complex information about the accessibility of buildings in Brno city centre. General accessibility is displayed by specially developed map symbols presenting two types of information, quantitative information, i.e. the level of accessibility, and qualitative information, i.e. the type of the location.

Title: Marine substratum map of the Causeway Coast, Northern Ireland
Abstract: A 1:30,000 substratum map for an area off the north coast of Ireland is presented. The study area is bounded in the south by the Causeway coastline and in the north by the following coordinates: top left corner (6°43′36″W, 55°17′N) and top right corner (6°27′W, 55°17′N). This mapping has been made possible through the availability of full seafloor coverage multibeam swath bathymetry and backscatter data (both gridded to 1 m), together with ground-truthing data collected over the past 40 years. Bathymetry data were used to generate terrain indices such as slope, rugosity, aspect, fine- and broad-scale Benthic Position Index, whilst the backscatter data were interpreted visually, subjected to an unsupervised classification process using QTC Multiview, and combined with the bathymetry-derived parameters into a clustermap in ArcGIS. The resulting maps allowed us to divide the seabed into 10 distinct acoustic classes, which, linked to sediment samples, diver surveys, underwater video-tows and remotely operated vehicle surveys, were converted into a substratum map. This is the most accurate seafloor substratum map to date for the north coast of Ireland and could form the basis for more in-depth geological, biological and hydrodynamic studies of this highly dynamic coastline.

Title: The Basic Ordnance Observational Management System: geovisual exploration and analysis of improvised explosive device incidents
Abstract: This paper introduces the Basic Ordnance Observation Management System, a prototype application supporting geovisual exploration and analysis of improvised explosive device (IED) incidents. Use of IEDs by terrorist cells has increased in geographic scale, frequency, and sophistication due to the relative cheap cost of acquiring the materials and the ease in keeping such weaponry covert. The Basic Ordnance Observational Management System is designed to facilitate spatiotemporal sensemaking of the IED incident dataset maintained by the National Counter Terrorism Center, Worldwide Incident Tracking System. The application expands upon existing geovisual analytics tools for understanding patterns, trends, and anomalies in IED activity through provision of a suite of capabilities that include: flexible spatial and temporal aggregates of the IED dataset; linked spatial, temporal, and attribute views of the incident information; temporal re-expression, particularly the generation of linear and composite sequences of the IED dataset; and temporal animation across IED activity, with ‘VCR’ controls and an interactive temporal legend to control the animation as well as visual benchmarks to assist with interpretation of the animation.

Title: Mapping of avalanche start zones susceptibility: Arazas basin, Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park (Spanish Pyrenees)
Abstract: In this work, we present avalanche start zone susceptibility (scale 1:25,000) in the Arazas basin, located in the Aragonese central Pyrenees and integrated into the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park. The basic variables considered include: (i) altitude of the regional annual isotherm of 0°C; (ii) slope; (iii) ground cover; and (iv) morphology of the slope (curvature). The information used to analyze these variables came from several sources, which were managed using a geographic information system: (i) digital altimetry (scale 1:5000); (ii) aerial flights photography; and (iii) regional climatological data. To perform the mapping of avalanche start zones susceptibility, a multicriteria analysis was applied. The information showed in the final map was structured in four main sections: (1) avalanche start zone susceptibility (classified as low, moderate, high and very high); (2) hydrological elements; (3) topographic elements; and (4) anthropic elements. This cartography could be a useful instrument in the management and planning of the study area, frequently visited because of its status as a National Park.

Title: Geological map of the Chianti Mts (Northern Apennines, Italy)
Abstract: A detailed stratigraphical-structural survey combined with classical geological mapping has been performed in the northern Chianti Mts, part of the Northern Apennines Orogen (central Italy). The study area can be subdivided in different tectonic and depositional units: (i) the widely outcropping Tuscan Nappe (middle/late Lias–earliest Miocene), thrusted to the west by (ii) Ligurian units (Cretaceous–Eocene) and unconformably covered by (iii) post-nappe deposits (Pliocene–Pleistocene). The Chianti Mts are structured as a mega-antiformal fold, dissected by WSW-ENE transversal lines and by NNW-SSE normal faults linked with the exhumation of the Northern Apennines Range, developing a basin/ridge structure. As results, (i) a new improved stratigraphic frame is here proposed; (ii) several tectonic and stratigraphic domains have been newly recognised; (iii) a large area characterised by severe internal deformation has been recognised and mapped as an imbricate fan thrust system, linked with transversal lines.

Field surveys, accompanied by aerial photo-interpretation, have led to the production of a geomorphological map at 1:7500 scale which outlines the main processes and related landforms. The latter are the result of the complex interplay of structural, gravitational, coastal and karst processes. Particular attention was devoted to the recognition, identification and mapping of landslides which affect large coastal sectors of the study area, locally giving rise to hazardous conditions.

Title: Engineering geological map of the Chiavari city area (Liguria, Italy)
Abstract: An engineering geological map at a scale of 1:10,000 of the Chiavari city area (Northern Italy) – a major tourist and economic attraction of the Ligurian East Riviera – is presented in this paper. The municipality land shows an excellent geomorphological case-study of the well-known Ligurian coast: a floodplain, fairly wide and inhabited, formed by several floods of the two main rivers, a hill hinterland, reasonably inhabited, developed in marly limestones and sandy shales flysch and the coast – featuring cliffs and narrow pebbly beaches – deeply modified. This map was compiled by combining available geological data with a new engineering geomorphological field survey and including geotechnical data which were obtained from studies carried out for town planning and building purposes. On the basis of the critical review of the available lithostratigraphic data from drilling, as well as geotechnical and geophysical analyses carried out between 1981 and 2010 on the municipality land, an engineering geological map was compiled. Nine engineering geological units were established, based on their physical characterizations and geomechanical properties. This paper presents an example of geocartography that could be applied to urban land planning for housing and construction of technical works; it also represents the base for geological hazard evaluation.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Shaluli Shan area, southeastern Tibetan Plateau
Abstract: We present a glacial geomorphological map covering 1.04 × 105 km2 of the Shaluli Shan (Shan = Mountain), southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Using a 90 m digital elevation model from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission and 15/30 m Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus satellite imagery, we have mapped glacial valleys, marginal moraines, hummocky terrain, glacial lineations and ice-scoured terrain. Lineations and scoured areas largely overlap on the low relief granite plateau of the Shaluli Shan and relate to former ice cap glaciation. These landscape features indicate that past ice cap glaciation included basal sliding conditions, and thus warm-based ice. Glacial valleys and marginal moraines are dominant landforms in the high mountain ranges of Shaluli Shan and occur on and fringing the plateau. This glacial geomorphological map forms the basis for paleoglaciological reconstructions of this southeastern Tibetan Plateau region and indicates the former presence of multiple glaciations involving valley glaciers and ice caps. The map is presented at a scale of 1:630,000.

Title: Mapping the visual landscape quality in Europe using physical attributes
Abstract: The inclusion of environmental care data in the decision-making process should be based on the results obtained after scientifically evaluating different environmental variables. Herein, a European landscape geographic model is presented. This landscape map would allow the environmental care variable ‘visual landscape’, along with other information related to vegetation, geology, soils, cultural variables, etc., to be integrated into the planning process. The methodology used is not new since it has already been tested in Spain by the authors. Nevertheless, the model was adapted to cope with the much more extensive territory of the European Union. This meant dealing with computational difficulties, and a lack of information. The result of this work is a raster map (100 m cell size) that evaluates landscape quality in Europe by dividing the area into seven visual quality classes. This is a practical tool for territorial development that will facilitate the environmental assessment of plans, such as infrastructure plans, within a strategic pan-European framework.

Title: Morphotectonic map of the Osento River basin (Abruzzo, Italy), scale 1:30,000
Abstract: This work presents a morphotectonic map of the Osento River basin, located in the southern Abruzzi area, Italy, flowing on the eastern Apennines piedmont into the Adriatic coast. The piedmont area developed in a marine environment from the Pliocene to the early Pleistocene resulting in the deposition of a clayey-sandy sequence. Afterwards, regional uplift with NE tilting, led to the deposition of a regressive conglomeratic sequence, as the area evolved into a continental environment. Since the middle Pleistocene the landscape developed by regional uplift, local tectonics and geomorphic processes, mostly through fluvial and slope modification. The morphotectonic map of the Osento River basin is the result of a drainage basin scale geomorphological analysis and incorporates four main sections: orography and hydrography section (upper left on the map); main morphotectonic map section (central and right on the map); Quaternary fluvial deposits and terraces section (central-left on the map); longitudinal morphotectonic profile section (lower part of the map). The map presented in this work provides the basis for recognition of morphotectonic features at basin scale, detection of tectonic control on landscape, and reconstruction of paleo-landscapes. It provides a contribution to define the main phases of post orogenic landscape evolution of the piedmont area of the Apennines chain, resulting from the link of alternating morphotectonics and surface processes, due to uplift processes, local tectonics and alternating slope and fluvial processes.

Title: Geomorphological map of the Tremiti Islands (Puglia, Southern Adriatic Sea, Italy), scale 1:15,000
Abstract: This paper describes the Geomorphological map of the Tremiti Islands (Puglia, Southern Adriatic Sea, Italy), scale 1:15,000. The Tremiti Islands, located north of Gargano promontory's coast, are part of a complex geological area within the Adriatic basin, facing the junction between the central and southern Apennines. This area is well known for Neogenic-Quaternary stratigraphic, tectonic and seismologic aspects and is crucial for the definition of Late Quaternary Adriatic basin evolution. The map is the result of a geomorphological study carried out on the islands and the inner continental shelf around them. This study incorporates: (1) field recognition of Quaternary continental deposits and geomorphological mapping, supported by radiometric dating, focused on the morpho-lithostratigraphic correlation of deposits among the different islands and the recognition of landforms that controlled landscape evolution; (2) bathymetric analysis; (3) geomorphological analysis of data from a side scan sonar survey, focused on the recognition of the main submerged landforms, from the coastline down to about 70 m b.s.l.; and (4) scuba-dive geomorphological survey, for improving analysis of geophysical data with direct observations. The study outlines a complex geological and geomorphologic setting. Despite the small size of the islands, the Quaternary continental succession of the archipelago is characterized by widespread deposits, a result of slope, fluvial and aeolian environments. The landforms of the islands are related to karst, fluvial, marine, and gravitational processes. The inner continental shelf features marine and coastal landforms, but also tectonic, fluvial, karst, and slope landforms. The correlation of the below sea-level geomorphological features with landforms and deposits of above sea-level areas, has provided a contribution to the reconstruction of Late Quaternary landscape and geomorphological evolution, as the result of tectonics, sea-level fluctuations and marine, coastal, and continental geomorphological processes.

Title: Development of land use and main land use change processes in the period 1836–2006: case study in the Czech Republic
Abstract: Two different sets of maps, on a scale of 1:110,000, show the development of land use and main land use change processes in a 500 km2 study area that occurred over the last 170 years. Analytical maps of land use were derived from old topographical military maps, as well as from base maps, using five time periods by the process of on-screen digitization. These analytical maps formed a basis for synthetic maps of land use change processes, number of changes, stably used areas and land use change trajectories. Maps of land use change processes record the spatial distribution of main processes that occurred between two adjacent time steps. The overall dynamics of land use changes are depicted in the map of land use change trajectories. The map of the number of changes shows how many times land use was changed in the given plot, while the map of stably used areas gives an idea of which land use categories did not change during the researched period.

Title: Map of changes in landscape naturalness in the Fiastra and Salino catchment basins (central Italy)
Abstract: This work assessed the spatio-temporal variation of land use in the catchment basins of Fiastra and Salino (central Italy) and its effect on landscape naturalness over a 30-year period (1978–2008). The study area (centroid coordinates 43°7′29.44′′ N; 13°20′34.56′′E) was divided into ecologically homogeneous units (land units) in terms of substrate, bioclimatic belt, and aspect using a GIS-based hierarchical approach for landscape classification and mapping. Land units were characterized from a phytosociological viewpoint, and their naturalness evaluated using the Index of Landscape Conservation status. Comparison of current and past vegetation naturalness of land units was used to prepare the map of changes in landscape naturalness in the Fiastra and Salino catchment basins (central Italy) at a scale of 1:50,000. It was found that, while the change of naturalness in the whole study area was around zero, the pattern of distribution of this change was heterogeneous: naturalness increased in land units of high hilly and mountain belts, mostly because of the spread of woods, to the detriment of shrublands, pre-wooded communities, and grasslands, while the opposite trend was recorded in the alluvial plain and low hills, because of increasing urbanization and landscape homogenization caused by the transformation of grasslands, shrublands, pre-wooded communities, and tree-planted arable lands into arable lands. The hierarchical approach to landscape classification and mapping provided information that could have not been detected by mere calculation of indices. This kind of analysis offers a method for improved interpretation of landscape evolution, affording valuable input for predicting transformation of land use, and thus for formulating sound environmental policies and planning optimum ecosystem management strategies.

Title: Geomorphological map of the Lipari volcanic island (Aeolian Archipelago – Italy)
Abstract: A 1:10,000-scale geomorphological map of the Lipari volcanic island (Aeolian Archipelago – Italy) is presented in this paper. The associated map, which includes volcanic and epivolcanic landforms, is obtained combining the available geological information with data derived from the analysis of a digital terrain model, integrated with aerial photographic observations and field surveys. The map shows that the location of the main volcanic morphologies is strongly controlled by local tectonic structures striking NNW-SSE, while the epivolcanic morphologies are mainly related to the continuous uplift induced by the prevalence of regional tectonic processes. The aim of this work is to provide an improved geomorphological map, with a reasonably comprehensive overview of the landforms present in the most densely populated island of the Aeolian Archipelago. This map can be also used as a support for future studies of land management on the island.

Title: Geomorphological map of the Montelago area (North Marche Apennines, central Italy): constrains for two relict lakes
Abstract: The hamlet of Montelago (‘Mountain of the Lake’) lies within the northern Marche Apennines close to the watershed of Fosso del Lago (‘Stream of the Lake’): both Italian toponyms clearly suggest the presence of a paleolake. Official geological maps reported lacustrine sediments within the upper basin of the Fosso del Lago stream, where outcrops of lacustrine sediments have also been noted for about five decades. The nineteenth-century Gregorian cadastral map also reports water ponds roughly in the area where lacustrine sediments were found: nonetheless, their position is clearly shifted upstream with respect to the reported lacustrine sediments. In this context, we have recently performed a targeted geomorphological survey addressed at unravelling such apparent discrepancy. Our study confirms the occurrence of lacustrine sediments spanning from Atlantic up to Sub-Boreal exactly in the place reported by previous geological works. The detailed geomorphological map created for the area allowed us to adequately locate previously published subsurface prospecting both highlighting landslide damming as the process responsible for lake formation and providing information for an adequate morphoevolutive reconstruction of the area. Geomorphological mapping also resolved the problem of the different position of the ponds mapped by the Gregorian Cadastre, stating that these had no direct relationships with the former lake but rather consisted of a small man-made reservoir directly connected by broad channels to springs which are currently dried-out.

Title: Following a gentleman's expedition: Odobescu and the crypts from northern Buzău
Abstract: Subsequent to the period in which he became interested in the Buzău district and a short time after receiving the first answers to his archaeological questionnaire, Romanian writer and archaeologist Alexandru Odobescu made a remarkable discovery. The information he gathered led to the identification of a remote area in northern Buzău, Romania, marked by the existence of a large number of mysterious caves, tombs, and rooms carved in stone. He referred to them as crypts, and carefully planned an expedition in the Alunişu – Nuc area. Although Odobescu, helped by the Swiss painter Henri Trenk, conducted field research in 1871, he never published his findings or drew conclusions regarding the origin of the crypts, thus his manuscripts remained forgotten in the Romanian Academy archives. This paper aims to rediscover a part of Odobescu's unfinished research through the creation of a map which helps us understand the geographical space within which he made his discoveries at the end of the nineteenth century.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Parlung Zangbo Valley, southeastern Tibetan Plateau
Abstract:
We present a glacial geomorphological map (1:825,000) of the Parlung Zangbo Valley in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau based on Google Earth imagery and the 30 m ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (ASTER GDEM). The mapped region covers 2.9 × 104 km2, including abundant glacial landforms such as glacial valleys, marginal moraines (including terminal moraines and lateral moraines), and hummocky moraines. Glacial valleys are distributed mainly above 2100 m a.s.l. with lengths from 1 to 130 km. Multiple marginal moraines occur along the glacial valleys, indicating the presence of multiple glacial events. The lowest moraines are distributed mainly at the mouth of each valley between 2400 and 4000 m a.s.l. Hummocky moraines are mainly distributed in the two main tributary valleys: the Bodui Zangbo Valley and the Yigong Zangbo Valley. One ice-dammed paleolake was mapped with a surface area of 12.5 km2. The mapped glacial features (including contemporary glaciers) cover 1.2 × 104 km2, about 40% of the mapped area, representing the minimum extent of maximum glaciation. This map provides a useful data set for reconstructing the timing and extent of paleoglaciations in this area.

Title: Morphology of Salina offshore (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)
Abstract:
In this paper, we present the first complete morphological map of the Salina offshore at a scale of 1:100,000. The submarine flanks of the Salina edifice extend down to −650 to −1300 m, are steep and characterized by an uneven morphology due to the presence of volcanic and erosive-depositional features. The volcanic features cover ∼30% of the submarine portion and include volcanic cones and bedrock outcrops. The remaining ∼70% is affected by a wide series of erosive-depositional features. Among these, features related to Late Quaternary sea level fluctuations comprise the insular shelf surrounding the island and overlying submarine terraced depositional sequences. Mass-wasting features include landslide scars, channels, fan-shaped deposits and waveforms. The presented map provides useful insights for a better understanding of the morphological evolution of the edifice

Title: The surficial geology of the Delta 7.5-minute series quadrangle, Fulton County, Ohio, USA
Abstract:
The surficial geology of the Delta 7.5-minute series quadrangle, and sections of the adjacent quadrangles (ca. 54.5 km2), was mapped to elucidate the deglacial history of the Huron–Erie Lake Plain in northwest Ohio. Five depositional environments were identified: alluvial, aeolian, glacial, glaciolacustrine and glaciofluvial. The depositional environments were mapped on a hillshaded, light detecting and ranging digital elevation model using a sediment-landform approach. Map interpretations were field tested with borings, shallow pits, electrical resistivity and ground-penetrating radar surveys. Four prominent strandlines of Ancestral Lake Erie trend NNE to SSW across the study area at 238, 231, 224 and 221 m above sea level and are comprised of offshore bars, possible beaches and spits recording littoral drift from the NNE. This study emphasizes the importance of large-scale mapping and provides a framework for subsequent research in the region.

Title: Seafloor mapping using high-resolution multibeam backscatter: The Palinuro Seamount (Eastern Tyrrhenian Sea)
Abstract:
We present a seafloor map of the summit of Palinuro Seamount, an E–W elongated volcanic ridge located in the Eastern Tyrrhenian Sea. The seafloor was mapped using multibeam backscatter and seafloor samples collected between 80 and 1000 m below the sea level. The high-resolution imaging of the Palinuro seafloor was obtained by merging a Digital Terrain Model with a 2.5 m-sized grid and a backscatter mosaic with 2.5 m pixel. The resulting 1:20,000 scale map includes six main facies recognized based on their backscatter properties. These six facies reflect different lithologies. The Palinuro seafloor map represents a useful tool for morphological and geological studies of the Palinuro volcanic ridge.

Title: Surficial geology and geomorphology of the Kumtor Gold Mine, Kyrgyzstan: human impacts on mountain glacier landsystems
Abstract:
A 1:50,000 scale map of the surficial geology and geomorphology of the mountain glacier landsystem and the human impacts of the Kumtor Gold Mine operations in the Akshiirak massif was compiled from a 0.5 m resolution pan-sharpened image from Digital Globe's WorldView-2 platform dated 5 September 2014. The map depicts 11 surficial geology units, 6 of which are classified according to natural genetic origins and 5 relating to recent human interference with glaciological and land surface processes. When compared to historical imagery the map records a number of important, not unrelated, cryospheric responses to mining activity, including: (a) the triggering of human-induced glacier speed-up events or surges due to dumping of mine spoil on receding and thinning glacier snouts; (b) the reactivation by internal creep of buried glacier ice due to the expansion of spoil dumping onto down valley areas of ice-cored moraine; and (c) accelerated ice drawdown and significant incursions of ice into the mine pit walls due to the artificial removal of substantial areas of glacier ablation zones.

Title: Large-scale geomorphological mapping as a tool to detect structural features: the case of Mt. Prinzera ophiolite rock mass (Northern Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents a geomorphologic map of the Mt. Prinzera ultramafic rock complex (Parma Province, Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy) mapped at large scale (1:2500). The map is the first contribution to the detailed geomorphologic knowledge of the area within the framework of a multidisciplinary approach used to analyse Mt. Prinzera as a hard rock aquifer case study. The geomorphologic mapping was carried out by field survey and aerial photograph analysis. All the surface processes and landforms were considered, with particular attention to structural geomorphologic features. The mapping of linear morphologic features was considered useful for revealing the presence of sets of joints otherwise difficult to detect due to surface weathering. Sets of rock discontinuities are important for water seepage and percolation and their identification is crucial for developing the hydrogeological conceptual model of the aquifer.

Title: Eiríksjökull plateau icefield landsystem, Iceland
Abstract:
A 1:9500 scale map of the Eiríksjökull plateau icefield and its post-Little Ice Age (LIA) foreland geomorphology and surficial geology is presented as a modern exemplar of an asymmetrically developed mountain glacier typical of the style of glacierization that dominated during mid-latitude Quaternary cold stages. Features regarded as diagnostic for this setting include (a) ice-cored hummocky terrain, indicative of controlled moraine construction in polythermal snouts, and localized breach lobe development, incremental stagnation and rock glacierization, all indicative of a debris-charged glacier snout; (b) fluted till and moraines, indicative of temperate basal ice conditions up-ice from polythermal glacier margins and (c) glacifluvial and debris flow deposits, occurring as steep fans emanating from glacier snouts at the plateau edge and in ice-contact fans or ramps fed directly by debris-covered glacier margins at the LIA. Although this plateau icefield landsystem is similar to those previously reported from Iceland, a remarkable debris-covered snout/ice-cored moraine complex on the foreland of Klofajökull is a more extreme example of the depositional zone that characterizes the valleys surrounding the more sediment-starved plateau ice dispersal centres.

Title: Fláajökull (north lobe), Iceland: active temperate piedmont lobe glacial landsystem
Abstract:
A 1:6250 map of the foreland of Fláajökull's north lobe as it appeared in 1989, together with a 1:350 scale map of a sample area of recently exposed glacial landforms from 2014, enables an assessment of the spatial and temporal evolution of glacial landform assemblages at the margin of an active temperate piedmont lobe terminating at ice-marginal thickening till wedges. The pattern of landform development captured in these maps indicates that the glacier margin developed strong longitudinal crevassing and well-developed ice-marginal pecten (three-dimensional crenulations) during its historical recession. This is recorded by early recessional phase linear push moraines on well-drained distal slopes of the foreland and the later development of interrelated sawtooth moraines, crevasse squeeze ridges and till eskers, indicative of extending ice flow and poorly drained submarginal conditions. This landform record is a palaeoglaciological signature of a changing process–form regime inherent within the active temperate piedmont lobe landsystem model.

Title: Structural glaciology of Austre Brøggerbreen, northwest Svalbard
Abstract:
Structural glaciological maps can be used to study the structural evolution and past dynamics of glaciers. The map described here documents the glacier-wide structural characteristics of Austre Brøggerbreen, a c. 12 km2 predominantly cold-based valley glacier in northwest Svalbard. The structural map reveals that the glacier is dominated by deep-penetrating fractures that are now relict (crevasse traces). These structures indicate that, despite being relatively inactive at present, the glacier was once much more dynamic, presumably during its last advance in the Neoglacial (c. 1900 AD). Contemporary glacier structures (i.e. those that are actively forming) include primary stratification, longitudinal foliation and rare surface fracturing (crevasses and water-healed crevasses). Relict fracture sets become increasingly re-orientated and folded down-glacier as a result of ductile flow. Individual flow units show large differences in the evolution of structures, indicating that the flow units have been subject to different flow histories and dynamics. The map will also be useful for future change-detection studies on this rapidly receding glacier.

Title: The Meso–Cenozoic stratigraphic succession of the Col de Braus area (Maritime Alps, SE France)
Abstract:
The 1:10,000 geological map here presented extends over about 32 km2 around the Col de Braus pass in the Maritime Alps (SE France). This area has attracted the attention of geologists since the late eighteenth century due to superb exposures of the Jurassic–Cretaceous Provençal succession, and has become a classic geological locality continuously studied until the present day. In this area, Early Cretaceous synsedimentary tectonics is evidenced by important lateral thickness and facies variations. This sector is presently placed at the western termination of a large structural domain extending from the westernmost Ligurian Alps into the French–Italian Maritime Alps, thus representing a key-area for understanding the structural setting of this part of the Western Alps.

Title: Soil loss assessment in the Turbolo catchment (Calabria, Italy)
Abstract:
Soil loss caused by accelerated erosion is a growing problem in the Mediterranean belt in general, and in many parts of the Calabrian region (Southern Italy), in particular. It is due to the combination of peculiar geomorphological, pedological and climatic features, very often exacerbated by unsuitable land management. The aim of this study is to analyze and map soil loss by water-induced soil erosion at the catchment scale. Soil loss was quantified using the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) model implemented in a geographical information system. The RUSLE is an empirical model which estimates the average annual soil loss that would generally result from splash, sheet and rill erosion. The analysis shows that total soil loss estimated in the study area is 16,470.88 t yr−1 with an average annual soil loss of 5.65 t ha−1 yr−1. Spatial variation and rates of soil erosion are mainly linked to land use, and the rate of soil erosion varies from less than 1 t ha−1 yr−1 in wooded areas to more than 40 t ha−1 yr−1 in barren land. In addition, the comparison between soil loss and slope maps shows that ∼47% of the estimated soil loss involves slopes with a gradient >20°. The map shows seven classes of soil loss, with 8% in the upper three classes and 51% in the lowest class.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Maidika region, Tibetan Plateau
Abstract:
We present a glacial geomorphological map at a scale of 1:200,000 of the Maidika region in the southeastern part of the central Tibetan Plateau covering 13,600 km2. Based on the 90 m resolution SRTM elevation model, the 30 m resolution ASTER GDEM elevation model, and the Landsat ETM+ satellite imagery of 30/15 m resolution, we have mapped glacial valleys, marginal moraines, glacial lineations, and hummocky terrain. Glacial landforms occur frequently and indicate extensive past glaciation with alpine style valley glaciers as well as more extensive ice fields. Of particular interest is the presence of glacial lineation swarms, which is unusual for the Tibetan Plateau glacial landform record. Based on the distribution of glacial landforms, we present a generalized maximum glacial extent reconstruction covering 6045 km2 or 44% of the map.

Title: The geological map of Sardinia (Italy) at 1:250,000 scale
Abstract:
Over the last 25 years the Italian national geological mapping program of the Italian Geological Survey (CARG Project, italian: Progetto Carta Geologica) at 1:50,000 scale has led to significant improvements in the geological knowledge for the Island of Sardinia (Italy). As a result, about one half of the island now is covered by new geological maps with 1:10,000–1:25,000 accuracy and geological maps at the 1:50,000 scale whose explanatory notes are available electronically. At the beginning of the CARG Project a geological map for Sardinia Island at 1:200,000 scale was published [Carmignani, L. (1996). Carta Geologica della Sardegna (1:200.000). Servizio Geologico Nazionale, Regione Autonoma della Sardegna], summarizing all the geological information available at that time, and a book with explanatory notes for the map was later published [Carmignani, L., Oggiano, G., Barca, S., Conti, P., Salvadori, I., Eltrudis, … Pasci, S. (2001). Geologia della Sardegna: Note Illustrative della Carta Geologica della Sardegna in scala 1:200.000, Memorie Descrittive della Carta Geologica d'Italia (Vol. 60). Roma: Servizio Geologico d'Italia, 283 pp]. The enclosed Geological map of Sardinia at 1:250,000 scale incorporates all maps of the CARG Project, unpublished author studies and recently published maps and represents the most updated synthesis of an area characterised by a complex geological evolution that, with few exceptions, can be considered continuous during the last 540 Ma. The main events that influenced the geology of the island are the Variscan orogen that deeply involved the passive margin of North Gondwana and then the complex episodes that occurred in the present-day Mediterranean area after the accretion of Pangea up to the opening of the Tyrrhenian basin.

Title: Petrophysical properties in the Iberian Range and surrounding areas (NE Spain): 1-density
Abstract:
We introduce the first map of density data in Northeastern Spain which can help in the interpretation of gravimetric surveying. The background map is a simplified version of the Geode continuous geological cartography (scale 1:200.000) of the Iberian Range and Ebro basin. These maps are synthetic and homogeneous maps based on previous 1:50,000 scale geological maps (MAGNA). The map uses the ETRS89 datum and UTM coordinates (30T northern zone) and covers an area of 140,000 sq km. The compiled data shown in the map come from previous papers of the region (≈ 700 points) as well as from more than 800 additional points developed in the course of an exploratory project focused on the underground characterization of a potential CO2 reservoir in the so-called ‘Linking Zone'. The new data accomplish some basic criteria; they are accurately georeferenced and lithology, stratigraphic age and other technical details about the measurements (e.g. means and error) and methods are fully displayed.

Title: Travel speed changes along the European core road network for the period 1960–2030: an application of octilinear cartograms
Abstract:
This study presents the evolution of travel speeds in the European Core road network, between 1960 and 2030. Speeds are represented in octilinear cartograms which constitutes one of the novelties of this study. Octilinear cartograms have the advantage of simplifying the geographical representation of transport networks, while emphasizing the connections (nodes) and the links between those nodes. The geographical accurateness is no longer important in this type of map; thus, the actual length of links does not correspond to the link's real value, directions are roughly preserved and scale factor is not constant for the entire map. Results show a general improvement of speeds in the Core Network. During the first years of the analysed period, speeds increased in Western European countries, while in the latest years, this improvement was extended to peripheral countries. By 2012, travel speeds presented a more homogeneous pattern all over Europe, generally ranging between 100 and 110 km/h. This evolution goes all along with a strong EU investment in the trans-European transport road network. In 2030, travel speeds are expected to continue increasing due to the foreseen investments planned by the European Commission.

Title: Recreational trails in the Poprad Landscape Park, Poland: the spatial pattern of trail impacts and use-related, environmental, and managerial factors
Abstract:
Multiple maps at a scale of 1:51,500, portraying the trail-related features of 43.4 km of recreational trails located in a mountainous area of the Poprad Landscape Park (south-central Poland), were produced. More specifically, the maps presented the spatial pattern of trail impacts (i.e. trail width; trail incision; the number of informal trails; old, abandoned trail sections; a presence of muddy sections and water puddles), as well as use-related (type and amount of use), environmental (vegetation type, density of forest floor/grassland and understorey layer along trails, aspect, and trail topographic position), and managerial (trail surface, grade, and alignment) factors. For the most part, the information was collected during field surveys using the Global Positioning System and Geographic Information System (GIS), but in a minority of cases it was calculated within the GIS-environment based on a digital elevation model. Collecting accurate data on condition of trails and elements that influenced their state is crucial for managers in protected natural areas who face the challenges of protecting nature and providing recreational opportunities at the same time.

Title: Madrid cycle track: visualizing the cyclable city
Abstract:
Maps are currently experiencing a paradigm shift from static representations to dynamic platforms that capture, visualize and analyse new data, bringing different possibilities for exploration and research. The first objective of this paper is to present a map that illustrates, for the first time, the real flow of casual cyclists and bike messengers in the city of Madrid. The second objective is to describe the development and results of the Madrid Cycle Track initiative, an online platform launched with the aim of collecting cycling routes and other information from volunteers. In the framework of this initiative, different online maps are presented and their functionalities described. Finally, a supplemental video visualizes the cyclist flow over the course of a day.

Title: Regional-scale landslide inventory, central-western sector of the Basilicata region (Southern Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
A detailed landslide inventory map has been drawn for a large sector of the axial-outer zone of the Southern Italian Apennines using photo-aerial interpretation and field survey. Our results reveal a landscape greatly affected by landslide phenomena, which involve about 7% of the entire area. DEM analysis allowed us to assess the influence of landslide processes on the geomorphological evolution and investigate the main predisposing factors, which promote the initiation and evolution of mass movements. In order to understand the influence of lithological and topographic factors on slope processes, an evaluation of the landslide susceptibility has been carried out using the SINMAP model. A statistical comparison between the stability index map and landslides highlights a good prediction ability of the susceptibility assessment. Apart from the implications for mass movement processes and relief evolution, the acquired data can represent a basic contribution to land management and hazard assessment as well as the gathering of basic information on landslide susceptibility of this sector of the southern Apennine chain.

Title: Structural and metallogenic map of late Variscan Arbus Pluton (SW Sardinia, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents the geological, structural and metallogenic map of the Arbus Pluton, a late Variscan composite intrusion belonging to the Corsica-Sardinia Batholith. The pluton is surrounded and crosscut by a wide variety of vein ore deposits. The Arbus Pluton was emplaced at shallow crustal levels at the end of the Variscan Orogeny, along an E–W trending shear zone located in the low-grade external nappe pile of the Sardinian basement. The architecture of the pluton is roughly concentric with a core of cordierite-bearing leucogranites and an outer shell composed of pyroxene-bearing and hornblende granodiorites. New U/Pb dating on zircons of granodiorite yields an emplacement age of 303.7 ± 1.1 which improves previous Rb/Sr and Ar/Ar dating. The map has been compiled on the basis of new geological/structural surveys and petrographical studies coupled with in situ gamma ray spectrometry. All the data-sets have been processed using a geographical information system.

Title: 3D geological model of an overthrust napped structure. Hășmaș mountains, Eastern Carpathians, Romania
Abstract:
This work represents an improvement of the methodology applied in the geological study of a napped structure by approaching the fault system and the formations in a 3D volumetric space. From a geological point of view, the studied area contains two thrust nappes: the Hășmaș Nappe, which is a gravitational nappe and the Bukovinian Nappe, which is an overthrust nappe. By combining data obtained from field measurements with the bibliographic support, we performed an overview of the study area. The 3D geological model has been achieved by the interpretation and drawing of 54 geological cross sections based on preexisting geological maps and accumulated field knowledge, using GSI3D and Move3D software. By using the model, one can extract information about any point in the space occupied by it, allowing real-time visualization. Also the 3D model provides a means to accurately estimate the exact limits of the strata, giving their volumes and surfaces in the context of a possible natural reserve calculation.

Title: Phytosociological survey vegetation map of Sicily (Mediterranean region)
Abstract:
We present the results of a study aimed at developing a vegetation map of Sicily (Italy) including the smaller circum-Sicilian islands, for an area of approximately 25,703 km2. The work is a synthesis of studies carried out in accordance with the survey methodology of phytosociology in the last 40 years over the whole study area. The vegetation map of Sicily was compiled in a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) environment, in order to produce a cartographic representation at a scale of 1:10,000 (reduced to a scale of 1:250,000). The physiognomic-structural characteristics of the plant landscape of Sicily are analyzed, providing a general and, at the same time, detailed overview of the phytocoenotic aspects represented on the territory, as well as of the relative bibliographic references. At the reference scale, 36 types are represented, 16 of which are related to zonal vegetation (Mediterranean maquis, Quercus ilex woods, Quercus suber woods, Castanea sativa woods, Quercus pubescens deciduous woods, mesophilous deciduous woods, Fagus sylvatica woods, Betula aetnensis woods, woods dominated by woody gymnosperms, forest edge shrubs, orophilous pulvinate shrubs, shrublands and garrigues, Ampelodesmos mauritanicus grasslands, mesophilous and sub-hygrophilous grasslands and pastures), 11 are related to azonal vegetation (riparian, psammophilous herbaceous, chasmo-halophitic, etc.) and 9 are related to anthropogenic vegetation (arable lands and extensive herbaceous crops, vineyards, olive groves and dry cultivation mosaics, hazelnut groves, irrigated citrus groves and orchards, greenhouses, built-up areas).

Title: Glaciokarst geomorphology of the Northern Dinaric Alps: Snežnik (Slovenia) and Gorski Kotar (Croatia)
Abstract:
Snežnik and Gorski Kotar are mountainous areas in the Northern Dinaric Alps. We investigated this remote and densely forested area on the border between Slovenia and Croatia between 2011 and 2014. The result of the fieldwork campaign is a 1:30,000 geomorphological map covering almost 600 km2. The study area mainly consists of Mesozoic age limestone and dolostone. Karstified carbonate lithology results in almost the complete absence of surface run-off and a dominance of typical karst morphology. The extensive karstified area was modified by Quaternary glaciations; therefore, the recent landscape is characterized as a glaciokarst. The focus of the presented map is to provide a basis for further research of Quaternary glaciations in the areas of Snežnik and Gorski Kotar. Along with the map, we propose a legend for glaciokarst landscape mapping.

Title: Geomorphological features of the Montebello sul Sangro large landslide (Abruzzo, Central Italy)
Abstract:
This work presents the first results of an integrated geomorphological analysis of a large earthflow in Montebello sul Sangro (Abruzzo, Central Italy). The study is based on a multitemporal geomorphological investigation supported by the morphometric analysis of the drainage network and numerical landslide modelling. The multitemporal geomorphological investigation, based on the interpretation of aerial photos, LiDAR data and field geomorphological mapping, outlined the recent geomorphological history and multiple activation phases of the landslides. A 2D Finite Difference Method (FLAC, Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua) analysis of the main landslide scarp, affecting the village of Montebello sul Sangro (Italy), was performed. Finally, in order to outline the morphometric features of the landslide area, local slope autocorrelation was used as a morphometric index. The analysis was aimed at studying the evolution of the active current landslide and specifically the possible retreat of the main scarp.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Skálafellsjökull foreland, Iceland: A case study of ‘annual’ moraines
Abstract:
Small-scale recessional push moraines are a characteristic signature of the active temperate glacial landsystem, and are often clearly linked to annual re-advances. These recessional push moraines represent a potentially valuable terrestrial climate archive, and may provide valuable insights into glacier dynamics. This paper presents detailed glacial geomorphological maps of recessional push moraines on the foreland of Skálafellsjökull, SE Iceland. Geomorphological maps have been produced at a scale of 1:3750 based on 2006 aerial photographs and 2012 satellite imagery. Using unmanned aerial vehicle-captured imagery, large-scale sample mapping of two selected areas of the glacier foreland has also been conducted, with the maps reproduced as A4-sized figures at scales of ∼1:2500 and ∼1:2000, respectively. Desk- and field-based mapping reveals suites of recessional push moraines distributed across the glacier foreland, often found in close association with flutings. Moraines on the foreland typically display distinctive ‘sawtooth' planform geometries, with complexities in the pattern occurring due to localised superimposition. The inventory of glacial geomorphological maps presented here provides a framework for subsequently exploring the characteristics of the recessional push moraines and recent ice-marginal fluctuations at Skálafellsjökull.

Title: Distribution and physico-chemical data of Italian bottled natural mineral waters
Abstract:
In recent years, the consumption of bottled natural mineral water (BNMWs) has grown enormously in Italy. This trend and the importance of the market were supported by the proliferation of brands with very different physico-chemical properties, and related to very different geological scenarios. In this paper, label data of more than 400 BNMWs are reviewed by using graphical and geospatial analyses in order to relate their hydrochemical characterization to geographical distribution. For this purpose, a large geodatabase covering the Italian peninsula was constructed, including geographical, geochemical and lithological data. A graphical classification based on hydrochemical characteristics, as well as distribution maps of some physical parameters were also reported. The results were evaluated within the context of the geological scenarios that control groundwater evolution. This information may be used by experts for both an evaluation of the potential market demand, and for health care use.

Title: The surficial and subglacial geomorphology of western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
Abstract:
The surficial and subglacial geomorphology of ∼220,000 km2 of western Dronning Maud Land (WDML), Antarctica, is presented at a scale of 1:750,000. The mapped area includes the Stancomb-Wills Glacier north of 75°25′S and follows the grounded ice margin to the Jutulstraumen Ice Stream at the Prime Meridian. Mapping of subglacial geomorphology builds upon recent methodological advances that use optical and passive satellite imagery of the ice surface to infer major elements of the subglacial topography. The hypothesised geomorphological map reveals an alpine glacial landscape at, and surrounding, every nunatak region, inferred through the presence of subaerial and subglacial cirques, arêtes and closely spaced hanging valleys. A series of subglacial troughs are found to intersect the main Jutulstraumen–Penck troughs. The map is aimed at helping analyse patterns and processes of landscape evolution within WDML and provides greater detail of erosion patterns associated with former ice flow patterns.

Title: Morphoneotectonics and lithology of the eastern sector of the Gulf of Trieste (NE Italy)
Abstract:
The paper aims to describe and map the geomorphological and lithological features of the Gulf of Trieste and its eastern coasts and to define its neotectonic behaviour by means of the analysis of the morphoneotectonic evidence. The final map, produced at a scale of 1:30,000, shows the outcome of field investigations carried out along the coast and the sea bottom and a detailed geomorphological classification of the coastline. Published and new data coming from the analysis of archaeological remains, geomorphological and sedimentological sea-level indicators and geophysical researches are discussed in order to provide a complete overview of the study area.

Title: Seabed geomorphology of the Porcupine Bank, West of Ireland
Abstract:
A new map of the seabed geomorphology on the Porcupine Bank, located at the western edge of the north-eastern Atlantic shelf west of Ireland, uses high-resolution multibeam bathymetric and backscatter data as well as numerous shallow seismic profiles to identify individual landforms. They are described based on their acoustic signature on the various datasets. The landforms comprise sharp-crested ridges, mounds and outcrops often associated with and expressing underlying bedrock topography; sand waves highlighting modern currents directions; and iceberg scours with strongly preferred orientations. The map is intended as baseline evidence to test models of the palaeoceanographic and palaeoglaciological history of the Porcupine Bank.

Title: Stratigraphic vs structural contacts in a late orogenic basin: the case of the Tertiary Piedmont Basin in the Sassello area (Ligurian Alps, Italy)
Abstract:
This geological map (1:10.000 scale) of the ‘Sassello Basin’ remnant covers an area of about 33.4 km2 of Liguria (NW Italy); it highlights the occurrence of two main types of contacts between the sediments of the Tertiary Piedmont Basin and the metamorphic substratum (Voltri Unit): (i) stratigraphic and (ii) structural (thrust or steeply dipping faults). (i) Stratigraphic contacts are represented by the main transgressive surface and the nonconformity between the metamorphic rocks of the substratum and the subaerial deposits. They are locally folded and occur along the steeply dipping short limbs of asymmetric folds related to the late-alpine/apennine tectonics. (ii) Structural contacts are related to the late-alpine/apennine tectonics (thrust faults) or (mostly) to Plio-Quaternary extensional/transtensional faulting.

Title: Changing spatial perception: dasymetric mapping to improve analysis of health outcomes in a megacity
Abstract:
Choropleth representation has been the most widely applied method to represent rates in disease maps due to its consistency in depicting relative data. However polygons in a choropleth map may give the erroneous notion of homogenous distribution over area in cases where the mapped quantity varies in its spatial distribution. In the case of population maps, choropleth maps suggest uniform distribution of people within large peri-urban administrative areas where population is known to be unevenly distributed within the administrative units. Dasymetric mapping can provide a more accurate and detailed distribution of population data by using ancillary information to spatially disaggregate population within administrative units. We have developed a procedure to use more detailed fiscal cadastre blocks to disaggregate census data within less detailed enumeration and sample areas. Here we explain the procedure and provide simple examples of this dasymetric representation as applied to population density, socioeconomic and health indicators. This approach may help to identify fine-scale risk patterns of infectious and chronic diseases and associated socioeconomic or environmental risk factors. It is hoped that better visualization through this approach will help specialists in planning to reduce social injustice in complex urban environments.

Title: Cartography of crime: Portrait of metropolitan Vilnius
Abstract:
In Europe, especially in Eastern Europe, geographic research in criminology deals mainly with data analysis and accompanying cartographic communication through the visualisation of crime maps is less developed. Therefore, there is still a dearth of crime maps that could potentially not only show the facts, but also portray the criminal landscape of the city and tell the reader a story in a way that stimulates thinking, and motivates deeper analysis and spatial reasoning. This set of maps, which were designed by the authors, represent specific characteristics, density and temporal distribution of crimes in the city of Vilnius in 2014. It also shows changes in the crime rate from 2012 to 2014. The maps represent generalised data that was derived from detailed tabular data on reported criminal activities in 2012, 2013, and 2014. The primary map reveals some primary factors that allow understanding of spatio-temporal patterns of crimes in modern Vilnius: prevalent crime types with specific territorial and temporal distribution (crimes of violence, property crimes, and distribution/possession of drugs); changes in distribution over the examined period of 3 recent years; overall crime rate and detailed structure of 9 types of crimes, the rate of burglaries and seasonality of violent crimes for all the 21 administrative districts of the city. Original cartographic signs have been designed for the depiction of 11 characteristics. The maps are supplemented by 3D visualisations and a chart that shows changes in the overall crime rate and juvenile crime numbers in the decade from 2004 to 2014. The reference scale is 1:100,000 for the Main map and 1:300,000 for complementary maps.

Title: Distribution of potentially toxic metals (As, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn) in the topsoil of the Pannonian Basin System and associated parts of the surrounding orogens
Abstract:
The Pannonian Basin System (PBS) and associated parts of the surrounding orogens (SOs) were selected for a regional geochemical mapping of concentrations of potentially toxic metals, with the sample media the topsoil horizon. Geochemical data form a sample space that is different from Euclidean, and therefore standard statistical methods are not applicable for such data. To apply standard statistical methods, data were transformed to Euclidean space by using a special case of an isometric log-ratio transformation for a composition consisting of two parts (the first part is the metal concentration of interest; the second part is the total concentration of all other elements in the composition). Estimations were performed using deterministic (Ordinary Kriging) and stochastic (sequential Gaussian simulations (SGS)) methods. The resulting maps provide insight into the distribution of certain metals in the PBS and associated parts of the SOs, and are intended to serve as base maps for further studies. The maps obtained with SGS provide additional information on the variability (uncertainty) of estimation.

Title: Geomorphology of the Hohsand basin (Western Italian Alps)
Abstract:
The 1:10,000 scale geomorphological map of the Hohsand basin (Piemonte Region, Italy) encompasses an area of 18 km2 (elevation range: 2300 ÷ 3374 m a.s.l.) where deposits and landforms linked to different processes (glacial, periglacial, gravitational, weathering and surface water) have been distinguished. This basin hosts one of the largest glacial areas of the Western Italian Alps in which it is possible to observe and study the relationships between glacial and periglacial processes. Indeed, due to climate change, Hohsand basin has highlighted an impressive glacier retreat since the end of the Little Ice Age (1600–1900s). In recently deglaciated areas, newly developed periglacial processes and landforms have been recognised and mapped in detail at 1:3,000 scale. All these maps, including a synthesis map at 1:25,000 illustrating the distribution of glacial deposits, have been produced using multitemporal photographic interpretation of aerial images and more recent digital orthoimages, and systematic field surveys performed during the summers 2012 and 2013. The cartographic results provide information about the geomorphological setting of this high-altitude alpine zone through a detailed representation of the genetically different landforms and deposits. Moreover, the in-depth geomorphological analysis of landforms related to glacial and periglacial environments allow understanding of the dynamic interaction between these two typical alpine systems in the present context of climate change.

Title: Uncertainty visualization of remote sensing crop maps enriched at parcel scale: a contribution for a more conscious GIS dataset usage
Abstract:
Uncertainty is an inherent issue in all thematic maps, including those produced from remote sensing (RS) data. Factors such as the characteristics of the imagery used to obtain the map or the classification methods, among others, can contribute to differences in the level of uncertainty. Given that map accuracy is not spatially uniform and that confusion matrices do not resolve the issue, this paper proposes a methodology to visualize the spatial uncertainty of a crop map obtained through RS and enriched at parcel scale. The final map covers an area of 3323 ha represented at a scale of 1:35,000. The estimator used to show the classification uncertainty is ‘purity’, that is, the percentage of each parcel area occupied by the finally assigned category. This value is an indicator of misclassification probability analyzed at parcel scale, which is a more useful measure in real management than are per pixel approaches.

Title: Mapping sediment–landform assemblages to constrain lacustrine sedimentation in a glacier-fed lake catchment in northwest Spitsbergen
Abstract:
Changes in the deposition of fine-grained rock-flour in glacier-fed lakes reflect glacier variability. This meltwater-driven signal is, however, often overprinted by other processes. To constrain the signature of lacustrine sedimentation, we mapped the catchment of glacier-fed Lake Hajeren in northwest Spitsbergen, identifying sediment sources and linking them to surface processes. To this end, we employed a combined approach of aerial image interpretation and field mapping. Our map comprises sediment–landform assemblages commonly found in pro-, peri- and paraglacial landsystems on Spitsbergen, including weathered moraines outboard Little Ice Age limits. Based on the presented map, we argue that mass-wasting does not directly impact lake sedimentation. Also, due to the scarcity of fines in historical glacial deposits, we suggest that modified glacigenic sediments only briefly affect a recorded glacier signal, following retreat. These findings highlight the value of geomorphological maps as tools to constrain catchment processes, improving the interpretation of lake sediment records.

Title: Cultivation potentiality of black truffle in Zaragoza province (Northeast Spain)
Abstract:
Black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) has very specific environmental requirements. We integrated these requirements in a geographic information system and weighted them depending on their importance for the presence of the species, based on previous field and laboratory experience. The parameters considered were divided into three groups: (i) topographic; (ii) climatic and (iii) edaphic. A multicriteria analysis was used to develop a final potential habitat map, and filtering it by land uses we produced the cultivation potential map. The result of this work is a 1:275,000 map of Zaragoza province (Spain) that integrates all mentioned maps. This is a practical tool for territory managers, farmers and researchers who will be capable of identifying the better cultivation zones in the Zaragoza province with this map.

Title: Mapping of topsoil texture in Hungary using classification trees
Abstract:
Spatial information about physical soil properties is in great demand, being basic input data in numerous applications. Soil texture can be characterized by different approaches, such as particle size distribution, plasticity index or soil texture classification. In accordance with the increasing demands for spatial soil texture information, our aim was to compile a topsoil texture class map for Hungary with an appropriate spatial resolution, using the United States Department of Agriculture soil texture classes. The ‘Classification and Regression Trees’ method was applied because it is widely used in Digital Soil Mapping, and has numerous advantages. Primary soil data were provided by the Hungarian Soil Information and Monitoring System. A digital elevation model and its derived components, geological and land cover map, and appropriate remotely sensed products together with the soil map featuring overall physical properties provided by the Digital Kreybig Soil Information System were used as auxiliary environmental co-variables. The resulting map can be used as direct input data in meteorological and hydrological modelling as well as in spatial planning.

Title: Updated landslide inventory of the area between the Furiano and Rosmarino creeks (Sicily, Italy)
Abstract:
A 1:10,000 scale landslide inventory map has been prepared for the area between the Furiano and Rosmarino creeks, in the Nebrodi Mountains (north-eastern Sicily, Italy), a territory highly prone to slope failures, due to the local geological and geomorphological settings and intense rainfall. The landslide inventory database included within the Hydrogeological Setting Plan of the Sicily Region has been used as a starting point for this work. The updated inventory map has been compiled through a combination of conventional approaches (i.e. aerial photo-interpretation and field surveys) and new remote sensing techniques (ground deformation measurements obtained by interferometric analysis of satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar images). The new landslide inventory consists of 566 events, classified according to their typology and state of activity.

Title: Stratigraphic framework of the late Miocene Pisco Formation at Cerro Los Quesos (Ica Desert, Peru)
Abstract:
The enormous concentration of marine vertebrates documented within the Pisco Formation is unique for Peru and South America and places this unit among the prime fossil Lagerstätten for Miocene to Pliocene marine mammals worldwide. In order to provide a robust stratigraphic framework for the fossil-bearing locality of Cerro Los Quesos, this study presents a 1:10,000 scale geological map covering an area of about 21 km2, a detailed measured section spanning 290 m of strata, and a refined chronostratigraphy for the studied succession well constrained by diatom biostratigraphy and high-resolution 40Ar/39Ar isotopic dating of three interbedded ash layers. Within the apparently monotonous, diatomite-dominated sedimentary section, the Pisco Formation has been subdivided into six local members, with stratigraphic control over the different outcrops facilitated by the establishment of a detailed marker bed stratigraphy based on 15 readily distinguishable sediment layers of different nature.

Title: Uranium distribution in the Variscan Basement of Northeastern Sardinia
Abstract:
We present a detailed map of uranium distribution and its uncertainties in the Variscan Basement of Northeastern Sardinia (VBNS) at a scale of 1:100,000. An area of 2100 km2 was investigated by means of 535 data points obtained from laboratory and in situ gamma-ray spectrometry measurements. These data volume corresponds to the highest sampling density of the European Variscides, aimed at studying the genetic processes of the upper crust potentially triggered by an enrichment of radiogenic heat-producing elements. For the first time, the Kriging with Variance of Measurement Error method was used to assign weights to the input data which are based on the degree of confidence associated with the measurements obtained using different gamma-ray spectrometry techniques. A detailed tuning of the model parameters for the adopted Experimental Semi-Variogram led to the identification of a maximum distance of spatial variability coherent to the observed tendency of the experimental data. We demonstrate that the obtained uranium distribution in the VBNS, characterized by several calc-alkaline plutons emplaced within migmatitic massifs and amphibolite-facies metamorphic rocks, is an excellent benchmark for the study of ‘hot’ collisional chains. The uranium map of VBNS, and in particular the Arzachena minor pluton, confirms the emplacement model based on the recognition of the different petrological associations characterizing the Variscan magmatic processes in the Late Paleozoic. Furthermore, the presented model of the uranium content of the geological bedrock is a potential baseline for future mapping of radon-prone areas.

Title: Fossil marine vertebrates of Cerro Los Quesos: Distribution of cetaceans, seals, crocodiles, seabirds, sharks, and bony fish in a late Miocene locality of the Pisco Basin, Peru
Abstract:
One-hundred and ninety-two fossil marine vertebrate specimens, preserved as bone elements cropping out at Cerro Los Quesos (Pisco Basin, Peru), are identified and reported on a 1:4,000 scale geological map and in the corresponding stratigraphic section. All the fossils originate from the Pisco Formation, which is dated in this area to the late Miocene (from 7.55 Ma to ≥6.71 Ma, based on 40Ar/39Ar analyses of three volcanic ash layers along the section). Specimens are particularly concentrated near the top of the two main hills, where the geologically youngest portion of the examined section crops out. The impressive fossil assemblage includes cetaceans (91.6%), represented by mysticetes (balaenopteroids and cetotheriids) and odontocetes (phocoenids, physeteroids, and ziphiids, including the holotype of Nazcacetus urbinai). Seals, a crocodile, a seabird, bony fish, and sharks are also reported. Isolated large teeth of Carcharocles and Cosmopolitodus are common and, in several instances, associated to mysticete skeletons. Together with a similar work recently published for the other late Miocene locality of Cerro Colorado, this work represents a case study for the detailed inventory of the extraordinary paleontological heritage of the Pisco Basin. As such, it constitutes the basis for future taphonomic, paleoecological, and systematic studies, as well as for a much-needed conservation effort.

Title: A high-resolution DEM for the Top-Palaeogene surface of the Belgian Continental Shelf
Abstract:
A 1:250,000 scale map of the surface of the Top-Palaeogene for the Belgian Continental Shelf was created based on extensive analyses of older and recent geological and geophysical datasets. The Top-Palaeogene surface is an important polygenetic unconformity that truncates older strata of the Palaeogene and to a smaller extent some of Neogene age from the overlying Quaternary deposits. As such it represents the base of the latter. The represented surface has been diachronously shaped and reworked through Late Quaternary times by different geological processes (e.g. fluvial, marine, estuarine, periglacial). Additionally, the offshore surface has been attached to the landward Top-Palaeogene surface and was transformed into a uniform 3D surface allowing new and better interpretations to be used in fundamental and applied research underpinning both scientific purposes (e.g. geology, archaeology, palaeogeography), and commercial applications (e.g. wind farms, aggregate extraction, dredging).

Title: Estimated travel time of mudflows at Mount Hood, Oregon
Abstract:
Volcanic hazard maps are used to inform planners, policy-makers, and the public of the areas potentially impacted by volcanic hazards. We describe the design and production of a three-dimensional (3D) volcanic hazard map showing lahar travel times at Mount Hood, Oregon. The creation of this map involved the application of innovative techniques, including (a) an analytical model for computing lahar travel time isochrones; (b) a terrain tiling system for 3D modeling software; (c) the modeling of roads, rivers, and other linear features as 3D tubes to improve visibility; and (d) progressive terrain bending to create a top-down perspective in the foreground and an oblique perspective in the background. A user study (documented in a separate article) confirmed that the 3D map effectively shows the extent and travel time of potential lahars, allowing readers to choose better escape routes than with a conventional two-dimensional map.

Title: Logistic groups in the Republic of Panama
Abstract:
A map of the logistic groups in the Republic of Panama and complementary maps of the distribution of the population density, GDP density, the economic activity ‘transport, storage and communications’, and the primary and secondary road network are presented. The clusters of territorial groups on each map were analyzed and created using the ‘decision tree’ data mining method in order to determine territorial groups with similar characteristics, including logistics infrastructure and nodes, socioeconomics and the environmental situation. At the reference scale of 1:800,000 these maps represent a planning tool to decision makers in land use matters.

Title: Land cover of Greece, 2010: a semi-automated classification using random forests
Abstract:
Information about land cover (LC) and land use is fundamental in various areas of research regarding the Earth's surface. However, field campaigns are costly and time consuming while existing data sets have strong limitations. Classification of LC by remote sensing, although considered a technically and methodologically challenging task, can facilitate mapping initiatives at various scales. This study suggests an efficient and robust methodology of LC classification with minimal user requirements. The study site is Greece which faces a lack of up to date LC maps at national scale. In this context we employed Landsat imagery, open source software and the random forest classification algorithm to produce a high resolution national LC map for 2010. The algorithm was trained semi-automatically, extracting information from available data sets. The results are promising, achieving an overall accuracy of 83%. The methodology presented minimizes many obstacles that lead to data deficiencies and can act as a baseline for future LC mapping initiatives.

Title: White Glacier 2014, Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut: mapped using Structure from Motion methods
Abstract:
We use Structure from Motion software to generate a new digital elevation model (DEM) of White Glacier, Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut, using >400 oblique aerial photographs collected in July 2014. Spatially and radiometrically high-resolution imagery, optimized camera settings, low angle lighting conditions, and photo post-processing methods together supported the detection of small but distinct features on the surface of the snowpack and enabled feature matching during the image correlation process. The resulting DEM and orthoimage facilitated the production of a new 1:10,000 topographic map with 5 m vertical accuracy in the style of earlier cartographic works of White Glacier dating back to 1960. The new map of White Glacier will support calculation of the glacier's geodetic mass balance (mass change determined from ice volume change over the past 54 years) and provides an updated glacier hypsometry (area-elevation distribution) that will improve the accuracy of future mass balance calculations.

Title: Geology of Monte Gallo (Palermo Mts, NW Sicily)
Abstract:
The promontory of Monte Gallo (Palermo, NW Sicily) is a spectacular site where Upper Triassic-Eocene carbonate platform rocks and Quaternary continental to marine deposits are well exposed. A Mesozoic-Paleogene rock succession allows the potential visitor to easily detect the features and the evolution of the Panormide carbonate platform, a shallow-water paleogeographic domain of the Southern Tethyan margin. Quaternary deposits, as well many landforms, enable the visitor to directly identify the interplay between climate changes, tectonics and fluctuations of marine level that occurred during the Quaternary Period. A detailed geological map (1:15,000 mapping scale) is presented, accompanied by a stratigraphic correlation of logged sections and morpho-stratigraphic and tectonic schemes of the area, aimed at highlighting the geological heritage of Monte Gallo in support of the establishment of a Geosite. The Geological Map and relevant explanatory notes should be used as cartographic support and as a field trip guide for possible geological itineraries.

Title: Spatiotemporal distribution of Landsat imagery of Europe using cloud cover-weighted metadata
Abstract:
Landsat imagery is the most frequently used remotely sensed data in many fields related to the monitoring of the Earth's surface. As Landsat satellites have gathered data since 1972, lots of valuable information has been stored and can be derived from imagery over a long time interval. Of course, due to certain factors such as weather conditions and satellite-related technical issues, data collection cannot be consistent in time and space. Cloud coverage is the most obvious condition that determines the usability of a remotely sensed satellite images. For successful results, a rich data supply is essential. To explore the data supply of a certain study area, the Landsat metadata can be checked which is usually an involved process especially for a long time interval. Therefore, the visualisation of Landsat metadata can result in a faster work flow and successful study area selection. In this paper we present a cloud cover-weighted metadata map for the area of Europe.

Title: Updated Bouguer anomalies of the Iberian Peninsula: a new perspective to interpret the regional geology
Abstract:
Bouguer anomaly maps are powerful cartographic tools used mainly by geoscientists and natural resources' companies (oil, mining, etc.) since they reflect rock density distribution at different depths, allowing the identification of different tectonic features. At upper crustal levels, Bouguer anomaly maps can help, for instance, in characterizing possible ore deposits, ground water reservoirs, petroleum resources, CO2 storage sites and sedimentary basins; at deeper crustal levels they can help to further refine seismic velocity models or other integrated geophysical models and thus help in deciphering the lateral density variations within the crust and the geometry of the base of the crust. This new Bouguer anomaly map at a 1:1,500,000 scale is based on the compilation of 210,283 gravity stations covering the Iberian Peninsula (c. 583,254 km2). The new map upgrades previous maps in two ways: (1) it is built up from a database with a 15% more spatial coverage than previous compilations and (2) it is freely available. This map show shorter wavelengths than previous published maps thus allowing investigation of smaller geological features.

Title: Sea–land geology of Marettimo (Egadi Islands, central Mediterranean sea)
Abstract:
We present a 1:10,000 scale geological map of Marettimo Island and its offshore (Egadi Archipelago, central Mediterranean Sea). The map was achieved by integrating a new geological survey with data from recent, marine, geological and geophysical surveys acquired along the adjacent continental shelf. The island is composed of a Mesozoic, mostly carbonate platform succession, which is overlain by continental to coastal marine Quaternary deposits. Extensional tectonics have affected the carbonate platform since the Late Triassic producing an initial increase of accommodation space that was filled by interbed breccias, marls and calcareous marls. During the Jurassic, a NE-SW-directed normal fault-bounded structural lows where thick beds of megabreccias accumulated followed upwards by cherty limestone and bedded cherts. During the building of the chain, the compressional tectonics generated a southeast-verging tectonic wedge, displaced by subsequent transpression. During the Quaternary, repeated sea-level changes shaped a rough erosional surface along the inner shelf and controlled the lateral facies variation of the continental and marine coastal deposits along the present day coastline.

Title: Visualisation of volcanic relief and processes: the Nízký Jeseník upland educational trail, Czech Republic
Abstract:
The paper presents the visualisation of volcanic relief and processes that formed the landscape of the Nízký Jeseník Upland (today recognised as a national geopark) during different phases of the Cenozoic. There are three basic types of volcanic phenomena: (i) volcanoes, (ii) lava flows and changes of relief induced by them and (iii) tuffaceous sediments. These are presented by block diagrams, panoramic maps and cross-sections on 18 panels placed along a 25 km long education trail leading through the volcanic landscape. We used a combination of GIS and graphic software to produce block diagrams based on various published and unpublished information sources. The education trail transfers scientific knowledge to the general public in an effort to contribute to the educational objectives of the Jeseníky Geopark.

Title: Castel di Sangro-Scontrone field camp – structural and applied geomorphology
Abstract:
The Geomorphological Field Camp 2014 in the Castel di Sangro-Scontrone area is the result of geological and geomorphological teaching field work activities carried out in Central Italy by a group of 23 students attending the Structural Geomorphology and Applied Geomorphology courses (Master's Degree in Geological Science and Technology of the Università degli Studi ‘G. d'Annunzio’ Chieti-Pescara, Italy, Department of Engineering and Geology). The Field Camp 2014 was organized in May 2014, following regular classes held during the fall term. General activities for the field camp were developed over four main stages: (1) preliminary analysis of the regional geological and geomorphological setting of the area; (2) preliminary activities for the analysis of the local area (orography, hydrography and photogeology investigations, and geographical information system processing); (3) field work, focused on the analysis of a specific issue concerning structural geomorphology or applied geomorphology (e.g. landscape evolution, river channel change, landslide distribution, and flood hazard); and (4) post-field work production of the map. Finally, the fundamental role of field work in the analysis of landscape and in land management was outlined: indeed, the overall field camp enhanced the crucial role of field-based learning for young geomorphologists in order to acquire a strong sensitivity to geomorphological processes and landscape evolution.

Title: A DEM of the 2010 surface topography of Storglaciären, Sweden
Abstract:
During the summer of 2010 the surface elevation of Storglaciären in northern Sweden was measured using high-precision GNSS and reflectorless Total Station surveys. The DEM created from these data contain less noise than those created from orthophotographic methods over snow covered glaciers and is therefore smoother, with fewer erroneous features in the data. The principal, though not sole, intended use for the DEM is in the calculation of surface mass balance, which has influenced decisions on what constitutes a functional part of a glacier, leading to the exclusion of features such as snow aprons and perennial ice above the bergschrund. Other peripheral features have changed since the previous, aerial survey from 1999 leading to a reduction in size of approximately 0.17 km2.

The area strongly suffered the dramatic effects of a destructive flood on 15 October 2015. The presented Map was produced in a GIS using topographic maps dating from 1870, 1909, 1936 and 1955 and 1:10,000-scaled colour orthophotos from 1998. All the maps and aerial photos were georeferenced in the UTM33 WGS84 coordinate system. The detected landforms were manually digitized and checked in the field. A geodatabase containing attributes such as type, age and surface area of each landform was created and progressively updated. The areal and unconventional map legend was designed to provide maximum readability. In the alluvial plain, five orders of river terraces were recognized. They are separated by strongly reshaped, gently sloping, inactive fluvial scarps (FS), less than 1.5 m high. Former channels, now abandoned, were also mapped. The confluence migrated eastward/east-northeastward between 1870 and 1955, followed by a north-northwestward migration between 1955 and 1998. Finally, numerous riverbank failures were observed and mapped along the active FS. A secondary map showing the age of the alluvial plain was also produced and showed that most of the investigated alluvial plain formed between 1909 and 1936. The study also shows the results of channel adjustments experienced by the river in ∼130 years.

Title: Snæfellsjökull volcano-centred ice cap landsystem, West Iceland
Abstract:
A 1:10,526 scale map of Snæfellsjökull and its forelands is presented as the first landsystem exemplar of volcano-centred ice caps, for application to understanding glacierized volcanic terrains globally. Mapping of surface materials and landforms was undertaken using orthorectified aerial photographs taken in 2002 and results of ground truth fieldwork in 2010. Nine natural surficial geology units were identified in addition to bedrock, glacier ice and made ground associated with pumice mining. The spatial distribution of landforms and sediments throughout the forelands comprises extensive areas of ice-cored moraine, developed at the limit of the Little Ice Age readvance and located distal to extensive areas of fluted till and glacially abraded bedrock with occasional eskers. This is a widely recognized landsystem signature typical of former polythermal snout conditions at the Little Ice Age maximum. Proglacially, thrust pumice sheets also occur on the east flanks of the volcano where pre-existing deformable materials were susceptible to thrust block development.

Title: Soil erosion, Serra de Grândola (Portugal)
Abstract:
Soil erosion has long been the subject of attention for environmental management researchers because it implies the loss of a key natural resource for sustaining life. Several methodologies for soil erosion assessment have been developed; many of these are supported by Geographic Information Systems. This study aims to classify the susceptibility of rainfall-induced erosion at the Serra de Grândola (Portugal), based on the Priority Actions Programme/Regional Activity Centre guidelines for mapping soil erosion on the Mediterranean coast. Results show a low-to-moderate susceptibility to rainfall-induced erosion in the lowlands, becoming moderate to high in the highlands of the Serra de Grândola.

Title: Geomorphology of the Sierra Gorda karst, South Spain
Abstract:
The limestone massif of Sierra Gorda is one of the most important karst areas in the Betic Cordillera (southern Spain). In this work, we present a geomorphological map of this area compiled using stereoscopic image analysis and field work. The map covers 300 km², synthesizing karst landforms at a scale of 1:33,000. These landforms have been classified into seven minor and major types (karren, sinkholes and uvalas, poljes, canyons, planation surfaces, springs and travertine formations, and caves). The map is a useful tool for the environmental reassessment of the massif and its possible recognition as a geopark.

Title: Modern morpho-sedimentological patterns in a tide-dominated estuary system: the Bay of Brest (west Britanny, France)
Abstract:
Long-studied with respect to its sedimentological features (1897), the Bay of Brest (Western Britanny, France) is a textbook example of a tide-dominated estuary. Characterised by macrotidal conditions, this estuary system is sheltered from the open sea (Iroise Sea) by a narrow strait that partitions the wave tide influences and continental/marine inputs. Sediments are supplied to the bay both by rivers (the Aulne and Elorn rivers) and by marine tidal currents. This study presents new analyses of detailed facies and morphological patterns, based on the integration of multisource data compiling seabed sampling, swath and LIDAR bathymetry, and backscatter imagery. The Main Map, at a scale of 1:90,000, contains (1) a sedimentological distribution using the ‘Code Manche’ classification, (2) a morphological map, and (3) bathymetric mapping which presents the morphology of marine and terrestrial landforms. This work may lay the foundation for a future study on sedimentary transport in a unique and confined coastal environment.

Title: Geomorphology of the Ampato volcanic complex (Southern Peru)
Abstract:
Few detailed geomorphological maps of the Central Andes are available despite the wide diversity of landforms. We present a 1:20,000 geomorphological map of the Ampato volcanic complex resulting from the interpretation of vertical aerial photographs (1955), MrSID resolution satellite image and oblique aerial photographs (1943). To classify the relief, Simonov [(1972). Regional geomorphological analysis [in Russian]. Moscow: Mosk. Gos. Univ] criteria are combined with the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC) method. The use of both techniques allows us to represent 35 landform types distributed over an area of 930 km2 and to identify the geomorphic processes involved in their morphogenesis.

Title: Geology of the Fontane talc mineralization (Germanasca valley, Italian Western Alps)
Abstract:
The 1:5000 scale Geological Map of the Fontane talc mineralization (FTM) aims to give new information about the origin and geological structure of an important talc mineralization occurring in the axial sector of the Italian Western Alps. The FTM is hosted within a pre-Carboniferous polymetamorphic complex which was deformed and metamorphosed during both Variscan and Alpine orogenesis, and is part of the Dora-Maira continental crust. Field mapping and underground investigations highlight that the talc bodies (i) never crop out but occur at depth along a well-defined lithostratigraphic association between micaschist, marble and gneiss and (ii) were deformed during different Alpine-related deformation phases (i.e. D1, D2 and D3 syn-metamorphic phases and post-metamorphic extensional faulting). The here defined lithostratigraphic and structural characterization of talc bodies, is an input for further research into the geodynamic context of where talc forms and for new mineral exploration outside the mapped area.

Title: The glacial geomorphology of the Loch Lomond Stadial in Britain: a map and geographic information system resource of published evidence
Abstract:
The Loch Lomond Stadial (LLS) was an abrupt period of renewed cooling between 12.9 and 11.7 ka and has long been associated with the regrowth of glaciers in much of upland Britain. Mapping the glacial landforms associated with this period has been undertaken for over a century, but in a non-systematic nature and at specific locations. In this paper, glacial geomorphology associated with the LLS in Britain has been compiled from the published literature into a glacial map and accompanying geographical information system database that is available electronically as supplementary information. A variety of scales have been used to best represent the evidence in the database. Map A is at 1:310 000; B, C, D, E, F, J, L, M and O are at 1:175 000; K, N, P are at 1:100 000 and G, H and I are at 1:50,000. The database contains over 95,000 individual features, which are organised into thematic layers and each attributed to its original citation. The evidence includes moraines, drift and boulder limits, drift benches, periglacial trimlines, meltwater channels, eskers, striations and roches moutonneés, protalus ramparts and ice-dammed lakes. Creation of this database overcomes the drawbacks posed by the non-systematic nature of previous mapping output from studies of LLS glaciation. It is intended to be a catalyst for future research in this area, with especial significance for regional palaeoglaciological and palaeoclimatic reconstructions of the Younger Dryas and numerical modelling.

Title: The Mount Pizzuto earth flow: deformational pattern and recent thrusting evolution
Abstract:
The Mount Pizzuto earth flow has been periodically active in recent decades. Early in 2006, it surged and created a dam across the Ginestra torrent. Episodic floods induced by the earth-flow dam periodically damaged a section of a local road and power and telephone service lines. This paper presents a map showing deformational structures along the flow and a geometric reconstruction of thrust faults at the earth-flow toe from 2006 to 2014. The map, produced on the basis of field observations, shows the spatial distribution of back-tilted surfaces, flank ridges and normal, thrust, and strike-slip faults. Springs, creeks, and ponds are also shown on the map. The map indicates that the earth flow is composed of five kinematic zones. Cartographic data and the spatial–temporal reconstruction of the thrusting evolution offer the basis for interpreting the (mid-term) kinematics of the flow and its controlling factors, and for assessing the influence of earth-flow movement on torrent channel capacity.

Title: Copernicus high-resolution layers for land cover classification in Italy
Abstract:
The high-resolution layers (HRLs) are land cover maps produced for the entire Italian territory (approximately 30 million hectares) in 2012 by the European Environment Agency, aimed at monitoring soil imperviousness and natural cover, such as forest, grassland, wetland, and water surface, with a high spatial resolution of 20 m. This study presents the methodologies developed for the production, verification, and enhancement of the HRLs in Italy. The innovative approach is mainly based on (a) the use of available reference data for the enhancement process, (b) the reduction of the manual work of operators by using a semi-automatic approach, and (c) the overall increase in the cost-efficiency in relation to the production and updating of land cover maps. The results show the reliability of these methodologies in assessing and enhancing the quality of the HRLs. Finally, an integration of the individual layers, represented by the HRLs, was performed in order to produce a National High-Resolution Land Cover map.

Title: Spatial decision support using data geo-visualization: the example of the conflict between landscape protection and tourism development
Abstract:
Urban areas and regions with significant natural features, scenery or cultural heritage have become the most popular sites for tourist destinations. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to preserve the natural environment before uncontrolled tourist infrastructure spreads. But the real situation is not clear. As the scale of tourism grows, resources become more unsustainable. A destination with a damaged environment loses its attraction and this causes an increase in the building of new tourist destinations. But the solution is not in closing areas for visitors but in finding the right level of tourist load, because money coming from tourism may help to keep the landscape sustainable. This paper shows one way of how to assess and visualize conflicts between landscape protection and sustainable tourism development for decision-makers in municipalities. On the example of the Nízký Jeseník Highlands, composite indicators dealing with specific environmental value, tourism potential and tourism infrastructure load have been proposed. Using a linear regression between most correlated data sets specific areas of different conflicts with tourism were identified and proposed for further development.

Title: Geo-archaeology of the Roman palaeosurface of Sena Gallica (Senigallia, Italy)
Abstract:
Sena Gallica (Senigallia), in the northern Marche region, was the first Roman colony on the Adriatic coast founded at the beginning of the third century BC. This research adopted an integrated approach to different information sources that combines old and new data, archaeological excavations, topographic and geophysical surveys, and geological and geomorphological analyses. The data are managed within a GIS and supported by 3D modelling. One of the results of this work is a map which represents the geomorphological setting of the Roman colony, close to the mouth of the Misa river. The settlement exploited the top-surface of the uppermost Pleistocene–early Holocene coastal fan of the Misa river, now only preserved at the apex sector truncated seaward by wave erosion. The top-surface of the fan apex, in turn, was partly re-incised by stream erosion producing a series of slight topographic mounds, which were selected for the earliest human settlement (V-IV c. BC). Some of the mounds resulted in a protected, slightly elevated, area enclosed by the meandering course of the Misa River and the Sant'Angelo/Penna streams, where the Romans decided to found their colony (284 BC). The tight interaction between human activities and the natural environment has always influenced the development of the town, from the earliest phases to the modern age. This map focuses on the time when the Roman colony was founded, but the combined study in progress allows understanding of the main transformations that occurred during the following centuries.

Title: Patterns of US air transport across the economic unevenness of 2003–2013
Abstract:
This map summarizes the relative change in activity at 379 airports during the tumultuous economic period that lasted from 2003 to 2013 in the conterminous USA. Rather than treating airports only as individual nodes, the work identifies relative regional spatial change in airport activity based upon the combination of the percentage changes in three factors: departures, passenger levels, and available seats. The geographic results, calculated by kriging, show that the outcome over the period is not spatially uniform. In particular, the map shows that parts of the Rust Belt, Appalachia, and the Intermountain West fared relatively worse while the plains and coasts did somewhat better. The analysis expresses the fact that while footloose in the short-run, long-term adjustments in the airline industry, like those experienced across 2003–2013, did so in a spatially coherent way.

Title: Land-use in the Macaronesian islands of Portugal and Spain
Abstract:
This article outlines the method used in designing a thematic map of land-use. The aim is to depict the main land-use categories and changes, across the Macaronesian islands of Portugal and Spain, between 1990 and 2006. The map presents a novel technique of summarizing land-use/land-cover (LULC) data into a custom-made 2D static graph-based display. The method proposes depicting the region of interest inside a hollow circle chart, commonly known as ‘doughnut chart’. The void inside the chart allows placing a complete cartographic representation, whereas the circle chart itself allows displaying statistical data of the encircled cartographic representation. To convey the temporal dimension, the method positions the graphics following a timeline. This custom display provides a framework to study and represent LULC data, overcoming common visual effectiveness issues. The proposed approach is flexible and suitable for application elsewhere, making it possible to draw visual impressions and comparisons in a straightforward manner.

Title: Marine substratum and biotope maps of the Maidens/Klondyke bedrock outcrops, Northern Ireland
Abstract: The Maidens (including the North and Outer Klondyke) are a group of bedrock extrusions about 14 km northeast of Larne, off the coast of Northern Ireland (central point for Maidens Complex: 54°57′50.0, −5°42′20.0). Multibeam echosounder data have been combined with extensive ground-truthing to produce broad-scale substratum and biotope maps for the site. The bathymetry was used to derive rasters of slope gradient, rugosity, aspect, and fine- and broad-scale benthic position index which were used for further analyses with Principal Components Analysis. Ground-truthing data were used to create sample signatures and a Maximum Likelihood Analysis performed to classify the surfaces according to that signature. The supervised classifications generated distributions for three broad-scale substrata and habitat biotopes (six level three biotopes, four level four and one level five biotope). The maps provide critical information and distributions that greatly facilitate the conservation, management and monitoring of a proposed Special Area of Conservation.

Title: Integrated geomorphological mapping in the north-western sector of Agrigento (Italy)
Abstract: The geomorphological map is an essential tool to perform a proper urban planning in mountainous or hilly areas. In this paper a multidisciplinary approach to derive a 1:2000 geomorphological map is described. The proposed methodology consists of the integration between aerial photographs, acquired in 2003, and four datasets of Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) measures to update a pre-existing landslide inventory. The integrated data were used to achieve a validated geomorphological map by means of a geomorphological survey. The study area is located in southern Italy (Agrigento, Sicily). The city of Agrigento, included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO in 1997, is located on the Girgenti hill which is exposed on its northern side, to several landslide phenomena. The top of the hill is characterized by the presence of part of the cultural heritage of the city and is affected by rockfalls, rock topples and shallow-seated landslides, representing a serious risk for important historical buildings. The results demonstrate the validity of this method to achieve a suitable tool in landscape and cultural heritage management.

Title: Hørbyebreen polythermal glacial landsystem, Svalbard
Abstract: A contoured surficial geology and geomorphology map of the forelands of the Hørbyebreen, Svenbreen and Ferdinandbreen valley glaciers in Petuniabukta, Svalbard was compiled from an orthophotograph based upon aerial photographs taken in 2009. The map reveals typical polythermal glacial landsystems, comprising ice-cored latero-frontal moraine arcs grading up valley into fluted till surfaces draped by supraglacially-derived longitudinal debris stripes. The additional occurrence on the Hørbyebreen foreland of linear esker and debris ridges arranged in a geometric ridge network is thought to be related to the infilling of densely spaced crevasses, created during a period of elevated meltwater pressures and ice hydrofracturing. These landforms were associated either with a jökulhlaup that was blocked by the frozen snout or an historical surge. The Hørbyebreen landform assemblage therefore constitutes an analogue for either: (1) spatial and temporal landsystem overprinting (polythermal and surging activity); or (2) a more refined polythermal landsystem in which the build up and release of meltwater reservoirs in warm-based interiors of polythermal glaciers give rise to a particularly diagnostic landform at the up-ice junction with the cold-based snout.

Title: Wet habitats along River Ipoly (Hungary) in 2000 (extremely dry) and 2010 (extremely wet)
Abstract: This study presents habitat maps from two years in which precipitation was extreme – 2000 was one of the driest years while 2010 was one of the wettest years in the Carpathian Basin. The study area is in northern Hungary, beside the River Ipoly, in the municipality of Drégelypalánk, with a smaller proportion in Hont and Ipolyvece. Its extent is 621.5 hectares. During the field survey habitat polygons were recorded using a hand-held GPS device, with aerial photographs helping to identify the exact location. Processing of the data, establishment of a database of the mapped area, and editing of maps were performed using ESRI ArcView GIS 3.2 and ESRI ArcGIS 10.0. The maps, at a scale of 1:15,000, show vegetation and habitats of the study area. They display changes occurring within habitats, in habitat types determined by their nature, composition and changes that occurred along their polygon borders. Large vegetation changes caused by the changes in precipitation over the time period can be tracked with the maps which display habitat changes. The area of wetlands increased significantly, whilst areas of meadow and marsh decreased and in their place new complex aquatic habitat forms appeared. The number of habitat complexes also increased because of the presence of water linked to habitat types and fragments. In the humid period, a sustained floodplain groundwater-level increase was observed that resulted in a mosaic appearance in habitats, but led to species degradation.

Title: Hydrogeological mapping of the highly anthropogenically influenced Peligna Valley intramontane basin (Central Italy)
Abstract: This paper presents hydrogeological mapping of the Peligna Valley (Central Italy) intramontane basin. The basin is hydrogeologically complex due to the significant surface and underground water resources which are extensively used for potable, industrial, agricultural and healing purposes. The basin history is characterised by significant fluvio-lacustrine deposition whose thickness can reach as much as 500 m. The depositional environment is completely surrounded by calcareous mountains. These represent extensive aquifers which feed large regional point and linear springs with total discharges of 16 m3/s. The highly complex hydrogeology of the study area and the varied use of water resources required extensive data collation and geological and hydrogeological assessments. Two years worth of hydrodynamic and hydrochemical monitoring of wells, springs, rivers and particularly artificial channels that convey water for industrial, hydroelectric and irrigational purposes were also undertaken. The construction of an accurate spatial-temporal database allowed the assessment and mapping of complex relationships between superficial water and groundwater. These relationships are shown in the 1:25,000 scale map. The map has been compiled using a detailed descriptive legend, various hydrogeological sections, schematics of anthropogenic activities, diagrams and tables and, finally, four schematics at 1:150,000 scale showing risk of contamination. It is hoped that this layout will assist in reading the map independently from any other supporting material.

Title: Topographic and geological mapping in the prehistoric area of Melka Kunture (Ethiopia)
Abstract: This paper describes the results of topographical and geological surveys carried out at the prehistoric area of Melka Kunture (Ethiopia) in order to produce new detailed maps at a scale of 1:10,000 for supporting archaeological investigations and providing good reference cartography during fieldwork. The topographic support was created from the stereorestitution of two pairs of Standard Stereo IKONOS-2, 1m pan-sharpened satellite imageries covering an area of about 100km2. The topographic map was utilized both for the geological survey and for the interpretation of the palaeo-environmental evolution of the site based on present geomorphological features. The aerial triangulation of satellite images, performed using ground control points measured using differential GPS surveys, allowed the stereoscopic visualization of the area and the creation of a digital elevation model and orthophotos. These results were a useful cartographic aid during the geological survey when all the outcrops along gullies, streams, roads and rivers were inspected and documented through additional in-depth field checks. The geological map was created and refined using the digital elevation model and photointerpretation of stereo and orthoimageries, making it possible to fully identify the geological boundaries between formations and recognize geomorphological features.

Title: Landslide inventory map for the Briga and the Giampilieri catchments, NE Sicily, Italy
Abstract: On 1 October 2009, a high intensity storm hit the Ionian coast of Sicily, SW of Messina, Italy. The Santo Stefano di Briga rain gauge, located 2 km W of the Ionian coast, recorded 225 mm of rain in seven hours. The intense rainfall event triggered abundant slope failures, and resulted in widespread erosion and deposition of debris along ephemeral drainage channels, extensive inundation, and local modifications of the coastline. Landslides occurred in a territory prone to slope failures, due to the local geological and geomorphological settings. Many landslides were related to the presence of roads lacking adequate drainage. Abandoned terraced slopes lacking proper drainage, and unmaintained dry walls were also related to slope failures. Damage was particularly severe in small villages and at several sites along the transportation network. The shallow landslides and the inundation resulted in 37 fatalities, including 31 deaths and six missing persons, and innumerable injured people. After the event, an accurate landslide inventory map was prepared for the Briga and the Giampilieri catchments. The map shows: (i) the distribution of the event landslides triggered by the 1 October 2009 rainfall event; (ii) the distribution of the pre-existing slope failures; and (iii) other geomorphological features related to fluvial processes and slope movements. The landslide inventory map was prepared at 1:10,000 scale through a combination of field surveys and photo-interpretation of pre-event and post-event, stereoscopic and pseudo-stereoscopic, aerial photography. Different types of aerial photographs were analysed visually to prepare the landslide inventory map. The event landslides were mapped through the interpretation of pseudo-stereoscopic colour photographs taken shortly after the event at 1:3500 scale, combined with digital stereoscopic photographs at approximately 1:4500 scale, taken in November 2009. The pre-event landslides and the associated geomorphological features were mapped using 1:33,000 scale aerial photographs flown in 1954, 1955, and 2005. The event and pre-existing landslides were checked in the field in the period October–November 2009.

Title: Thematic maps for county-level land use planning in Contemporary China
Abstract: Land use thematic maps are essential for the implementation of land use planning. China launched the third round of its land use planning in 2003, and the making of land use thematic maps series is one of the innovations for the new planning. The objective of this paper is to provide information about generating county-level land use thematic maps. The study area, Dachang Hui Autonomous County (178 km2), is located in Northern China and shares a boundary with Beijing. Methods for generating thematic land use maps are presented. These thematic maps include an existing land use map, zoning map for proposed land use, prime farmland protection map, zoning map for construction land expansion, planned land consolidation map, and planned major land use projects map. The scale for these maps is 1:50,000. All these maps are useful for researchers and local government, allowing them to be used as a reference for the study of land use mapping and support land resource management and planning.

Title: Mapping long-term atmospheric variables over Greece
Abstract: A gridded dataset representing near surface atmospheric fields has been developed to allow spatial analysis of long-term weather patterns over an area with significant climate spatiotemporal variability, Greece. The atmospheric elements considered are means of near surface temperature, means of relative humidity, as well as monthly and annual accumulated precipitation. The extracted patterns are based on the gridded European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) daily analyses interpolated on a regular 0.25° × 0.25° grid. Long-term means on annual and monthly bases for an 18-year reference period (1990–2007), are estimated for the continuous fields. Monthly and annual averages of accumulated precipitation for the period of 1980–2001 have also been created from near to analysis ECMWF forecasts and records gathered from surface meteorological stations. The extracted dataset has been accordingly formatted in order to allow visualization of the long-term atmospheric variables using a geographic information system.

Title: Environmental climatic maps of Liguria (Italy)
Abstract: The Ligurian climate has been mapped for hydrological and tourist purposes. Isohyet and isotherm maps as well as ombrothermic diagrams show a great abundance of water characterizing the Ligurian environment. Winter and summer tourist maps, produced by running a global polynomial interpolation, highlight areas where climate allows snow tourism, coastal sports, bathing, relaxation and cultural tourism. A synthesis tourist susceptibility map shows many areas, often scarcely developed, where climate conditions are potentially suitable for the development of tourist activity.

Title: Geomorphological map of the lower NW flank of the Hecates Tholus volcano, Mars (scale 1:100,000)
Abstract: Hecates Tholus (centered at 32.1°N 150.2°E), is a shield volcano in the Elysium volcanic province, located in the Martian lowlands in the northern hemisphere. Images of this volcano acquired by the Context Camera (CTX) instrument on board NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft show many glacial landforms that have gone unnoticed by previous authors. We present a geomorphological map of the lower northwestern flank of the Hecates Tholus volcano, at 1:100,000 scale, based on the use and analysis of CTX images with a resolution of 6 meters/pixel. The map is organized into a series of geomorphological units (surface cover) and elements (located at a point, along a line or distributed over an area) in order to provide a clearer understanding of the extent of glacial processes and the main dynamic element of this Martian glacial complex.

Title: Compilation of 1:50,000 scale digital soil maps for Hungary based on the digital Kreybig soil information system
Abstract: After several years of digital processing of legacy soil data collected by the Kreybig soil survey, the nationwide development of the digital Kreybig soil information system (DKSIS) made possible the compilation of soil property and function maps for the territory of Hungary at a scale of approximately 1:25,000–1:50,000. The Kreybig legacy data are spatially most detailed nationwide dataset related to soils which covers the whole area of the country. It simultaneously contains two types of geometric datasets: approximately 100,000 soil mapping units (SMUs) and 250,000 sampling plots. SMUs are characterized by several complex soil physical and chemical categories and detailed soil properties which are provided for soil profiles whose description in the digital environment is supported by a specific relational database. Primary digital soil maps can be compiled based on the polygons-type entities, while suitable spatial inference of profile-related variables makes the composition of secondary, regionalized digital soil maps possible, too. In our paper, we present example for both types.

Title: Multi-scalar cartographic analysis of 2008 and 2010 election returns in Wisconsin, USA
Abstract: The 2008 election cycle signaled a recent high in Democratic voting in the State of Wisconsin. At the national level, Wisconsin awarded its electoral votes to Democrat Barack Obama. Democrats performed well at the state level too, taking control of the State Assembly, State Senate, and Governor's mansion, a first since 1986. By 2010, in the wake of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, voters turned their attention away from Democrats. Nationally, Democrats lost 63 seats in the House of Representatives and clung to a three seat majority in the US Senate. Wisconsin voters propelled Republicans to victory in unprecedented fashion, making it the only state in the 2010 election cycle in which one party lost majorities in both houses of the state legislature and the governorship. The purpose of this paper is to use cartographic illustrations at the county and voting district levels to provide spatial evidence of voting patterns in the State of Wisconsin. County-level analysis is provided for the 2008 presidential and the 2010 gubernatorial elections, while voting district-level analysis is conducted for the 2010 gubernatorial election. Voting district results are the smallest scale of voting results available to the public and allow a more intimate and local contextual analysis of election patterns. This study also provides a technological framework for troubleshooting election reporting methods that do not align with voting district shapefiles in a GIS format.

Title: Application of high altitude and ground-based spectroradiometry to mapping hazardous low-pH material derived from the Sokolov open-pit mine
Abstract: Mineral spectroradiometry, both from airborne/spaceborne sensors and ground measurements, represents an alternative to conventional methods and an efficient way to characterize mines and assess the potential for acid mine drainage (AMD) discharge. High-altitude spectroradiometry (advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer [ASTER] satellite data) together with ground- and laboratory-based spectroradiometry (ASD Filedspec spectroradiometer) were employed in order to identify the locations of the most significant sources of AMD discharge at the Sokolov lignite open-pit mines, Czech Republic. As a result, a map with delineated low-pH zones was created and validated using the ground truth data.

Title: Geomorphology of the Castel de' Britti area (Northern Apennines, Italy): an example of teaching geomorphological mapping in a traditional and practical way
Abstract: Teaching how to map the geomorphology of an area cannot be performed in a satisfying manner only in the lecture room, but requires practical exercises both in the laboratory and in the field. A preliminary study of existing geological maps, geomorphological legends and symbols used in Italy and of the landslide inventory preceded a detailed four-day-long field mapping campaign carried out by students in the framework of their MSc course on ‘Geomorphological Mapping’ at Bologna University. The Geomorphological Map at 1:5000 produced by some of these students is presented in this paper. The study area is located in the northern Apennines, a few kilometres East of Bologna, along the Idice Valley (N-Italy). Lithologies are mainly composed of clayey and marly sequences ranging in age from Cretaceous to Plio-Pleistocene, sands and sandstones of Pleistocene age, and Messinian gypsum, these last being the most resistant rocks. Besides the greater scale used in this map, allowing for a more detailed representation of the mapped features, this map also shows the recent evolution of landslides in this actively mass wasting area.

Title: Distribution of ice marginal moraines in NW Russia
Abstract: Here we present results from a mapping project on the distribution of glacial end moraine zones in NW Russia, covering an area from the Baltics in the west (30°E) to Taymyr Peninsula and Byrranga mountains (120°E) in the East. Several previous studies have been made in the area, but none have mapped end moraine zones in a uniform way over the whole field area. We suggest that our mapping of moraine distribution in NW Russia, covering an area of about 7 million km2 is the most consistent to date. Much of the mapped area lies north of 60°N and is thus outside coverage of the high-quality Shuttle Radar Topography Mission digital elevation model. We have been using a new digital elevation data-set consisting of digitized Russian topographic maps (scales 1:100,000 and 1:200,000), combined with optical remote sensing data to map moraine zone distribution. The mapped moraines in this study are largely in agreement with recent reconstructions of former ice sheet extent in the area. However, several previously undocumented moraines have been identified and our results show that the last glacial maximum Scandinavian ice sheet probably extended further east into Russia than previously thought. In other areas, we also add considerable more detail on former ice sheet extent.

Title: Spatial distribution of sediment storage types in two glacier landsystems (Pasterze & Obersulzbachkees, Hohe Tauern, Austria)
Abstract: For the first time, geomorphological maps of the Obersulzbachkees (ca. 28 km2) and the Pasterze (ca. 39.7 km2) glacier landsystem at the catchment scale (1:10,000 and 1:12,500) are presented and the distribution of sediment storage types and (sub)recent sediment transfer processes are quantified and discussed. Special attention is drawn to the activity and function of sediment storages within the sediment cascade and on process (de)coupling of the sediment transfer systems. Glaciers cover ca. 50% of the landsystems and have retreated more than 1 km within the last six decades. The spatial distribution of sediment storage types delivers a record of the historical activity of the glaciers and the degree of sediment storage activity gives insights into the state of paraglacial landform adjustment. A typical landform assemblage is found in both landsystems. Moraine deposits are the dominant sediment storage type (coverage of ca. 3 km2 in both landsystems) and a significant source of (sub)recent sediment transfer. Deposits of reworked till account for ca. 4% of the total sediment coverage and paraglacial reworking is the main evolutionary factor for drift-mantled slopes with high activity in ice marginal and proximal locations (gully densities up to 3.7 per 100 metres of slope). With increasing distances from the glacier, the importance of paraglacial reworking decreases (gully density of 0.5 to 0.6). However, the contribution of paraglacial reworking to the overall sediment output is insignificant due to decoupling effects and till and debris are currently stored in both landsystems. The glacifluvial transport system is supply limited at the Obersulzbachkees and transport limited at the Pasterze. We consider the proglacial zone as a key control on sediment delivery from the glacier to the downstream fluvial system and hypothesize that the majority of sediment output from both landsystems is suspended load.

Title: Thickness maps of Neogene and Quaternary sediments in the Kloštar Field (Sava Depression, Croatia)
Abstract: The Kloštar Oil Field is situated at the north-western part of Sava Depression in the Croatian part of the Pannonian Basin. It is a typical geological structure that evolved through the Neogene and Quaternary and that is why the structural evolution is reconstructed using palinspastic mapping (i.e., using selected chronostratigraphic horizons as datum planes). The total map set includes six structural and 15 palaeostructural maps interpolated over five E-log markers and one border. The mapping has been performed using the Ordinary Kriging. The maps were used for the interpretation of geological evolution during the Neogene and Quaternary, and particularly a description of hydrocarbon reservoir formation and migration pathways. The structural development can be explained through two phases of transtension and two of transpression that existed regionally in the Sava Depression. However, the maps and cross-sections that are described locally show changes of dominant tectonic styles, particularly during the Quaternary when most of the field was a depositional centre.

Title: Geologic Map of Kalaupapa Peninsula, Moloka‘i, Hawai‘i, USA
Abstract: Kalaupapa Peninsula, along the northern coast of East Moloka‘i volcano, is a remarkably well-preserved example of rejuvenated-stage volcanism from a Hawaiian volcano. Mapping of lava flows, vents and other volcanic constructs reveals a diversity of landforms on this small monogenetic basaltic shield. The late-stage lava distributary system of this shield is dominated by a prominent lava channel and tube system emanating from the primary vent, Kauhakō crater. This system, along with several smaller examples, fed five prominent rootless vents downslope from Kauhakō. This map shows the subaerial part of this volcanic construct at 1:30,000 scale and encompasses an area of approximately 20.6 km2.

Title: Associations between lithology and land-use in a wine production region (Bairrada region, Portugal)
Abstract: In this work, we analyze the spatial relationships between land-use and lithology in the wine production region of Bairrada (Portugal) and present a new lithological map (1:50,000) created for the region, highlighting the associations with specific types of land-use. The study was focused on the area of Bairrada that establishes the appellation DOC-VQPRD wines. The region shows a heterogeneous lithology and land-use and it is found that these two variables are not independent. Three different zones with characteristic land-use and geology can be distinguished in Bairrada: a western zone where aeolian sand deposits are associated with coniferous forests; an eastern zone with Precambrian and Paleozoic metasedimentary units associated with broad leaf forests; and a central zone with diversified Mesozoic and Cenozoic units in which most vineyards are placed. There is a clear association between a Jurassic marly and dolomitic unit and an occupation by vineyards, which is particularly obvious when larger vineyards are considered. The vineyards are also common when these Jurassic units are covered by relatively thin siliciclastic sediments.

Title: Geological map of the northeastern sector of the high Agri Valley, Southern Apennines (Basilicata, Italy)
Abstract: The high Agri Valley represents a regionally important Pleistocene tectonic basin superimposed on the fold-and-thrust belt of the Southern Apennine, which has developed since the Late Oligocene – Early Miocene. Impressive morpho-structural features related to post-orogenic faulting can be identified along the northeastern margin of the basin, in the Marsicovetere area, where the main tectonic units involved in the southern chain are exposed. In this work, we present a geological map at 1:25,000 scale and cross sections of the Marsicovetere area. The geological map documents the effects of the different tectonic stages in the polyphase evolution of the Southern Apennines, which are shown in several outcrops of the high Agri Valley. More specifically, the study area shows that the early contractional structures have been dissected by several sets of faults with strike-slip and extensional kinematics. Based on geological mapping and structural analysis we distinguished three different homogeneous fault populations that controlled the evolution of the high Agri Valley from the Pliocene and Pleistocene. Faults cut map scale folds and related thrusts of Miocene and Pliocene age affecting a highly heterogeneous sedimentary cover deposited since the Triassic within fault-bounded pelagic basins and adjacent carbonate platform environments. Despite the relatively simple kinematic history, the deformation features related to late to post-orogenic evolution of the high Agri Valley are quite complex. The documentation of such complexity is important, in that it may improve our understanding of orogenic dynamics.

Title: Geo-hiking map of Mt. Penna and Mt. Aiona area (Aveto Natural Park, Italy)
Abstract: This work presents a geo-hiking map of Mt. Penna and Mt. Aiona area (Aveto Natural Park, Italy), an original and useful tool in the Earth science mapping field. Aveto Park is one of the best known Italian protected areas; it is located in the Ligurian Apennines and belongs to the Ophiolitic Protected Areas Coordination (‘C.A.P.O.’) and to the European Ecological Network Nature 2000. The Park area is crossed by more than 500 km of paths and trails where hikers, climbers and mountain lovers walk every year. The geo-hiking map was compiled by combining available geological and geomorphological bibliographic data with a field survey and basic information derived from hiking and tourist maps. The main stages used for production of the map are as follows: (a) bibliographic and map research of scientific papers; (b) a geological and geomorphological field survey; (c) trail and route data from tourist park maps; (d) research of geotouristic elements of interest. This work shows an example of geocartography research that really contributes to the implementations of documents and maps useful in the hiking tourism field. The main map is complemented with a natural hazard map; increasing tourism during the whole year in areas with geomorphological hazards results in a relationship between the human element, natural processes and hazard phenomena.

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a sedimentological study performed to characterize the ‘Bosco Pantano di Policoro e Costa Ionica Foce Sinni’ coastal system, in Basilicata (southern Italy), as part of the PROVIDUNE LIFE Project. The study was focused on the morpho-sedimentological characterization of both the emerged and submerged sectors of the beach system developed along a 3.5 km-long segment of the Ionian coast. A multitemporal comparison of historical aerial photos of the studied coastline concerning the last 100 years was executed. A geomorphological survey was carried out along 36 topographic profiles (each up to 200-m long); these were coupled with bathymetric profiles, reaching a depth of −13 m. Both topographic and bathymetric profiles were measured on three occasions (July, October, December 2010). Textural and compositional analyses of sediments were also performed. The results of this study were synthesized in a series of maps illustrating a schematic geological outline of the study area, a reconstruction of the Sinni river course and shoreline changes from 1908 to 2010 (1:2,400 scale), significant topographic (1:1,300 scale) and bathymetric (1:5,000 scale) profiles, three bathymetric charts (1:31,000 scale) and morpho-sedimentological features of both the coastal and nearshore sectors (1:15,000 scale). This study provides a geological background that is crucial for any intervention planning, as well as for any coastal zone management projects. The results should be also used in order to protect coastal habitats, which is the ultimate goal of the LIFE project.

Title: Cartograms showing China's population and wealth distribution
Abstract: Population and wealth distributions are two important indicators of socioeconomic activities in a country. Understanding the spatial nature of population distribution is crucial for effective resource allocation and reasonable economic and social policies, factors that influence every aspect of everyday life. Contemporary China is characterized by very rapid economic development and profound social changes, many of them involving population distribution and migration. Here we use a cartogram to represent population distribution at the province level in 2010. The cartogram effectively demonstrates that population is unevenly distributed across the different parts of China. Provinces in the southeast regions are densely populated, while the northwest is only sparsely inhabited. This pattern has been illustrated by the clear contrast between the size of regions above and below the transformed Aihui-Tengchong line in the cartogram, a line long thought to show the extremely uneven distribution of China's population. Furthermore, this line is not only a division line between densely and sparsely populated areas, but also a line of uneven distribution of wealth in China, as shown in the cartogram of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2010. Finally, the cartogram of population change from 2000 to 2010 demonstrates that population growth mostly occurs to the east of the line, with a few exceptions.

Title: Tectono-stratigraphic setting of the Campania region (southern Italy)
Abstract:
This paper furnishes a brief, but exhaustive, description of the tectonics and stratigraphy of the Campania region (southern Italy). The attached geological map (Main Map) at 1:250,000 scale should be considered as a first attempt to provide a more detailed geological cartography of the entire region, with respect to the available literature, in the light of scientific advances in stratigraphy and tectonics reached in the last years. The geological setting, proposed in this study, is the result of a review and reinterpretation of the current geological knowledge plus original surveys carried out in some key sectors of the area. We also include a schematic stratigraphic chart and three geological cross-sections illustrating the tectonic architecture in depth for the internal and external zones. The geodatabase was compiled in GIS format and subsequently imported in vector graphic software to allow a classical cartographic design.

Title: Geology of Tindfjallajökull volcano, Iceland
Abstract:
The geology of Tindfjallajökull volcano, southern Iceland, is presented as a 1:50,000 scale map. Field mapping was carried out with a focus on indicators of past environments. A broad stratocone of interbedded fragmental rocks and lavas was constructed during Tindfjallajökull’s early development. This stratocone has been dissected by glacial erosion and overlain by a variety of mafic to silicic volcanic landforms. Eruption of silicic magma, which probably occurred subglacially, constructed a thick pile of breccia and lava lobes in the summit area. Mafic to intermediate flank eruptions continued through to the end of the last glacial period, producing lavas, hyaloclastite-dominated units and tuyas that preserve evidence of volcano-ice interactions. The Thórsmörk Ignimbrite, a regionally important chronostratigraphic marker, is present on the SE flank of the volcano. The geological mapping of Tindfjallajökull gives insights into the evolution of stratovolcanoes in glaciated regions and the influence of ice in their development.

Title: Geology, slow-moving landslides, and damages to buildings in the Verbicaro area (north-western Calabria region, southern Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents a mass movement inventory map at 1:5000 scale of the Verbicaro area (about 13 km2) located in the Calabria region (southern Italy). The Main Map results from the visual interpretation of aerial photographs, multi-temporal geomorphological field surveys, and field investigations of damage suffered by buildings. Some 53% of the study area is affected by a total of 252 landslides, comprising different types, state of activity, and size. The mapped landslides, mainly complex type, involve low-grade metamorphic rocks; among these, 15% are active and slow-move on pre-existing sliding surfaces. Moreover, out of 492 surveyed buildings, 347 are located on landslide-affected areas and experienced damages covering a broad range of severity levels. The Main Map can represent a useful tool for authorities in charge of land-use planning and urban management and can be used to pursue landslide risk analyses.

Title: The glacial geomorphology of upper Godthåbsfjord (Nuup Kangerlua) in southwest Greenland
Abstract:
The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is known to have experienced widespread retreat over the last century. Information on outlet glacier dynamics, prior to this, are limited due to both a lack of observations and a paucity of mapped or mappable deglacial evidence which restricts our understanding of centennial to millennial timescale dynamics of the GrIS. Here we present glacial geomorphological mapping, for upper Godthåbsfjord, covering 5800 km2 at a scale of 1:92,000, using a combination of ASTER GDEM V2, a medium-resolution DEM (error <10 m horizontal and <6 m vertical accuracy), panchromatic orthophotographs and ground truthing. This work provides a detailed geomorphological assessment for the area, compiled as a single map, comprising of moraines, meltwater channels, streamlined bedrock, sediment lineations, ice-dammed lakes, trimlines, terraces, gullied sediment and marine limits. Whilst some of the landforms have been previously identified, the new information presented here improves our understanding of ice margin behaviour and can be used for future numerical modelling and landform dating programmes. Data also form the basis for palaeoglaciological reconstructions and contribute towards understanding of the centennial to millennial timescale record of this sector of the GrIS.

Title: Echo-character of the NW Iberian continental margin and the adjacent abyssal plains
Abstract:
The acoustic facies analyses have provided an important basis for sedimentary processes in the deep-sea environments. The echo-character mapping, through the interpretation and correlation of very high-resolution seismic profiles, is a very useful tool for the characterization of the recent sedimentary processes and their distribution. This work presents the first echo-character map at 1:800,000 scale of the Galicia Continental Margin and the adjacent abyssal plains elaborated by the Geological Survey of Spain. The map was carried out on the basis of the analysis and interpretation of the bathymetry and reflectivity data from the SIMRAD EM12, EM120 and EM1002 echosounders, and the high-resolution seismic profiles from the SIMRAD TOPAS PS18 parametric echosounder. On the basis of seafloor morphology, surface bedforms, backscatter and sub-bottom acoustic echo-characters, 26 echo-types were identified in the uppermost sedimentary sequence. These echo-types have been grouped into four main echoes: Distinct, Irregular, Hyperbolic and Undulated, according to their main acoustic characteristics. This information has been acquired in the framework of the ‘Scientific Research Program of the Economic Exclusive Zone of Spain’, which is coordinated and leaded by the Defense Ministry of Spain, during the oceanographic cruises carried out on board of the R/V Hesperides in 2001–2003 and 2006–2009.

Title: Integrated index of agricultural soil quality in Slovakia
Abstract:
On the basis of existing spatial databases and maps of soil parameters relating to production, environmental parameters and soil threats, indices of agricultural soil quality in Slovakia were developed and their distribution shown on maps. Existing maps of agricultural soil properties in vector format developed at the Soil Science and Conservation Research Institute in Bratislava were used. Unlike many quality evaluations of agricultural soils, the indices developed here take into account other parameters, not only production but also environmental and risk factors. The results show that in Slovakia 1.0% of agricultural soils are of very high quality, 30.3% are of high quality, 37.9% are of medium quality, 30.5% are of low quality and 0.3% are of very low quality.

Title: Geology of the Eastern Prebetic Zone at the Jumilla region (SE Iberia)
Abstract:
This article presents a geological map and cross-sections at 1:50,000 scale covering an area of 609 km2 of the Eastern Prebetic Zone (SE Iberia). The structure of the studied area is characterized by an NW-directed fold-and-thrust belt and inactive salt diapirs that are parallel to the ENE- to NE-regional trend of the eastern Betic Cordillera. This regional trend is locally disrupted by the NW-trending Matamoros Basin, which is flanked by the active Jumilla and La Rosa diapirs. The geological map, the cross-sections and the outcrop observations support the hypothesis that the major Mesozoic rifting phase affecting the Eastern Prebetic Zone occurred during the Upper Jurassic to Santonian times coeval to the development of extensional basins in the Western Tethyan area. The proximal part of this passive margin was subsequently incorporated into the external part of the Betic thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belt. The Upper Cretaceous to Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the study area encompassed the following stages: a Campanian to Aquitanian NW-directed contraction; a Burdigalian to upper Miocene extensional reactivation of the main subsalt faults; and a Serravallian NW-directed contractional reactivation. In this scenario, the combined effect of the previous contractional reactivation of pre-existing salt structures together with the Miocene subsalt extension triggered passive salt extrusion of the La Rosa and Jumilla diapirs.

Title: Geoheritage map of the Portofino Natural Park (Italy)
Abstract:
This paper introduces a novel geoheritage map of the Portofino Natural Park. The park is an internationally well-known area, protected since 1935, located in the Ligurian Apennines, 25 km E of Genoa. It has 80 km of hiking trails which are used by visitors all year around. The map was produced by combining geological and geomorphological data, geoheritage elements and data from hiking and tourist maps. It is intended to be a base map from which can be derived applied maps. With appropriate integrations and simplifications, these can be useful tools for the management of highly frequented protected areas. The methodological approach involved aerial photo interpretation, bibliographical research, field work and the use of data from the Park archives. The original base map was produced by using a Digital Terrain Model raster (5 m) and vector layers for the different cartographical elements.

Title: Pan-European landslide susceptibility mapping: ELSUS Version 2
Abstract:
We present an updated version of the European landslide susceptibility map ELSUS 1000 released through the European Soil Data Centre in 2013. The ELSUS V2 map shows the landslide susceptibility zonation for individual climate-physiographic zones across Europe. ELSUS V2 covers a larger area of Europe than ELSUS 1000 at a higher spatial resolution (200 × 200 m). The updated map was prepared using the same semi-quantitative method as for ELSUS 1000, combining landslide frequency ratios information with a spatial multi-criteria evaluation model of three thematic predictors: slope angle, shallow subsurface lithology and land cover. However, the new map was prepared using also: (i) an extended landslide inventory, containing 30% of additional locations for model calibration, map validation and classification and (ii) a new lithological data set derived from the International Hydrogeological Map of Europe (IHME). The new version of the map increases the overall predictive performance of ELSUS by 8 %.

Title: Morpho-sedimentological and vegetational characterization of Grande beach at São Francisco do Sul Island (Santa Catarina, Brazil)
Abstract:
A multidisciplinary study based on several digital (geology, lithology, shoreline evolution, photo-interpretation of aerial and ortho-photographs) and field (topographic and vegetational surveys, grain-size analysis) datasets prompted new insights to a better definition of the processes in action at the Grande beach at São Francisco do Sul Island (Santa Catarina, Brazil). The resulting data enabled us to produce a multi-thematic map at 1:50,000 scale that might be useful in assisting decision-makers to manage the coastal system, taking into account involved factors at once and not separately. In addition, the map may be implemented and integrated with new information, since the database is provided in geographical information system. The results confirmed the importance of addressing coastal systems with a multi-faceted approach that can be applied everywhere, not only in settings similar to São Francisco do Sul Island.

Title: Geomorphological processes of a Mediterranean urbanized beach (Sardinia, Gulf of Cagliari)
Abstract:
In this study, we present a comprehensive map of a microtidal wave-dominated beach system based on an interdisciplinary sea–land approach and with the purpose of supporting a sustainable and successful beach management. The study area is located in a highly urbanized/industrialized coastal sector of the W side of Cagliari Gulf (S Sardinia, W Mediterranean). In the Main Map (1:15,000 scale), static and dynamic features of the beach system and adjacent inner shelf are divided into thematic sections, including geomorphological elements, bathymetry, sedimentological distribution, benthic habitat (mainly Posidonia oceanica meadow), hydrodynamics and anthropogenic features. The map constitutes an example of multidisciplinary benchmark to allow for long-term planning and management of this highly urbanized beach system. It is able to provide a substantial scientific support to policy-makers towards environmental restoration and sustainable development.

Title: Submarine geomorphology at the front of the retreating Hansbreen tidewater glacier, Hornsund fjord, southwest Spitsbergen
Abstract:
A 1:10,000 scale bathymetric map as well as 1:20,000 scale backscattering and geomorphological maps of two bays Isbjørnhamna and Hansbukta in the Hornsund fjord (Spitsbergen) present the submarine relief that was primarily formed during and after the retreat of the Hansbreen tidewater glacier. Geomorphological mapping was performed using multibeam bathymetric data and seismoacoustic profiling. The identified landforms include two types of transverse ridges interpreted as terminal and annual moraines, flat areas that are depressions filled with glaciomarine sediments, iceberg-generated pits and ploughmarks, pockmarks and fields of megaripples. Most of the identified landforms are genetically related to the retreat of Hansbreen since the termination of the Little Ice Age at the beginning of the twentieth century. Although Hansbreen has been speculated to be a surge-type glacier, no evidence of surging was identified in the submarine landform assemblage, which is in accordance with the absence of historically documented surges for that period.

Title: Geomorphology of marine and glacio-lacustrine terraces and raised shorelines in the northern sector of Península Brunswick, Patagonia, Straits of Magellan, Chile
Abstract:
This paper illustrates a detailed geomorphological map (scale 1:50,000) of the marine and transitional terraces (glacio-lacustrine to marine) and raised shorelines linked to Holocene glacio-eustasy and neo-tectonics in the northern area of the Brunswick Penìnsula (Chilean region of the Strait of Magellan). The mapped area is located in Tierra del Fuego between the Segunda Angostura and Seno Otway. This map is the result of geomorphological field survey data integrated with the interpretation of aerial photographs and remote sensing imagery. The survey has allowed the mapping of a sequence of terraces and raised shorelines to be completed. The sequence mainly consists of four orders of marine and glacio-lacustrine terraced deposits, with elevations ranging from 25 to 1 m above mean sea level. The map also presents other landforms and deposits, with their formation linked to littoral, fluvial, glacial and aeolian processes.

Title: Geographic context of the Green Pistachio of Bronte, a protected designation of origin product
Abstract:
The Green Pistachio of Bronte is an Italian protected designation of origin (PDO) product that was officially recognized by the European Union in 2010. These pistachios are grown on Mt Etna's western slope in a specific area of thin volcanic soils and rugged terrain that inhibits the use of mechanized agriculture. Bronte pistachios are known for their distinct flavor, bright green color, and unique organoleptic properties that are intimately linked to their place of origin. They are highly prized in the food industry and can sell for more than double the price of other pistachios on the global market. Mapping landscapes that give rise to specialty food products like the Green Pistachio of Bronte facilitate understanding of the connections between food, culture, and environment within a specific geographic context. Mt Etna's powerful presence in the landscape adds to the unique characteristics of this product and its place of origin.

Title: Surface ruptures following the 30 October 2016 6.5 Norcia earthquake, central Italy
Abstract:
We present a 1:25,000 scale map of the coseismic surface ruptures following the 30 October 2016 Mw 6.5 Norcia normal-faulting earthquake, central Italy. Detailed rupture mapping is based on almost 11,000 oblique photographs taken from helicopter flights, that has been verified and integrated with field data (>7000 measurements). Thanks to the common efforts of the Open EMERGEO Working Group (130 people, 25 research institutions and universities from Europe), we were able to document a complex surface faulting pattern with a dominant strike of N135°-160° (SW-dipping) and a subordinate strike of N320°-345° (NE-dipping) along about 28 km of the active Mt. Vettore–Mt. Bove fault system. Geometric and kinematic characteristics of the rupture were observed and recorded along closely spaced, parallel or subparallel, overlapping or step-like synthetic and antithetic fault splays of the activated fault systems, comprising a total surface rupture length of approximately 46 km when all ruptures were considered.

Title: Geology of Danielson Crater, Mars
Abstract:
The Danielson impact crater is located at 8°N 353°E, between Meridiani Planum and Arabia Terra regions. The impact crater hosts one of the best-preserved successions of layered deposits inside a Martian basin, showing an alternation of light- and dark-toned layers, which compose a stairstepped stratal geometry widespread on crater’s surface. Layers were formed in an evaporitic setting, as suggested by sedimentological and morphologic analyses, and were affected by different kind of postdepositional structural deformations. In this work, we present the detailed geological map of the Danielson Crater, at the scale of 1:100,000. The stratigraphic units were distinguished on the basis of the photo-stratigraphic method, which classifies the rocks based on their photographic properties and features. The geological map will be useful for all the further geological analyses, aimed at understanding which depositional environments were present in the basin and how they evolved through time.

Title: Hydrogeology of the western part of the Drava Basin in Croatia
Abstract:
This paper presents a hydrogeological map of the western part of the Drava Basin in northern Croatia. An area of approximately 660 km2 is included in the hydrogeological map at a scale of 1:100,000. The map was made using ESRI ArcGIS 10 and ArcMap 10.2.1. This map describes the geometry of the Quaternary aquifer system and its hydrogeological characteristics as well as the distribution of groundwater flow. According to the values of the hydrogeological conductivity, the deposits are classified into a single hydrogeological unit. Approximately 400 boreholes and wells are identified within the map. Five 2D lithological cross-sections and five 3D hydrogeological cross-sections are displayed on the map. The distribution of the covering deposits thickness and the lithological composition of the upper part of the covering deposits are also displayed. According to its hydrogeological characteristics, the Quaternary aquifer system in the study area represents a strategic groundwater resource in Croatia.

Title: Neotectonic study of Northwestern Greece
Abstract:
In this paper, a neotectonic map with active faults, at a scale of 1:500,000, of the northwestern Greece is presented and discussed. The elaboration of the Neotectonic Map chiefly aimed at the identification, mapping and assessment of the faults in the region of Epirus, for the added purpose of assessing the area’s seismic hazard. To this end, the related research was largely directed to the detailed study of the tectonic structures, which were classified as active, potentially active and non-active (or unknown age). It is noted that the activity of many old structures continues to this day, as shown by the Neotectonic analysis, in conjunction with the region’s seismicity. The presence of extensive scree deposits on the hanging wall of many faults also indicates their re-activation. For the final compilation and presentation of the map, geological, geomorphological and seismological data were used and assessed. The objective of this map is to provide information about the neotectonic evolution of northwestern Greece.

Title: Inventory of glaciers and glacial lakes of the Central Karakoram National Park (CKNP – Pakistan)
Abstract:
This study presents a map reporting valuable information on the cryosphere of the Central Karakoram National Park (CKNP, the largest protected area of Pakistan and the highest park in the world). All the information is provided considering the CKNP as a whole, and in detail by dividing it into five basins (i.e. Shigar, Hunza, Shyok, Upper Indus, and Gilgit). The glacier inventory reports 608 ice bodies covering 3680 km2 (∼35% of the CKNP area), with a total glacier volume of ca. 532 km3. In addition, we modeled the meltwater from glacier ice ablation over the period 23 July to 9 August 2011. The total melt amount is ca. 1.5 km3. Finally, we considered glacial lakes (202 water-bodies, covering 4 km2). For these latter glacier features, we also analyzed their potentially dangerous conditions and two lakes were found having such conditions.

Title: Geology of the San Colombano hill, a Quaternary isolated tectonic relief in the Po Plain of Lombardy (Northern Italy)
Abstract:
The 1:10,000 geological map of the San Colombano hill covers 60 km2 in the Po Plain, south of Milan. The new and the historical surface geological data-sets are managed by a GeoDB aiming to contribute to re-interpret the Quaternary evolution at the Po Plain-Northern Apennine border. On the hill, the Calabrian shallow marine San Colombano Fm. unconformably overlies the truncated deeper-marine Miocene formations, up-thrusted by the external fronts of the Apennine Emilian Arc during Mio-Pliocene. Late Pleistocene alluvial units rest in unconformity above the marine succession both on the uplifted hilltop and on the surrounding plain. Fault-related offset of Late Pleistocene units, stratigraphic and morpho-structural evidences (facets, relic surfaces and drainage patterns), document the Quaternary tectonic history. Early to Middle Pleistocene ongoing thrust-folding at the northernmost buried reaches of the Emilian Arc was followed by Latest Pleistocene-Holocene transtension, possibly relating to the NNE striking Pavia-Casteggio lateral ramp.

Title: Geology of Aeolis Dorsa alluvial sedimentary basin, Mars
Abstract:
Aeolis Dorsa is a topographic depression, ∼800 km east of Gale Crater, located along the Mars’ dichotomy boundary. This area hosts a set of fluvial sedimentary rocks displaying an exceptional record of depositional environments and fluvial channels patterns that suggest the presence of a large amount of surface and/or subsurface water. We interpreted the plain as an ancient waterlogged environment, a sedimentary basin passing into distal depositional environments. Regional mapping of the area revealed the presence of a large-scale fluvial system that points to a long-term and extensive hydrological cycle. A significant wet period with changing environmental conditions in Hesperian/Amazonian occurred in the study area diverging from the present-day climate. Our map (Main Map) contributes to the understanding of past climatic conditions on Mars. Moreover, it provides an interesting perspective for future missions looking for evidence of present-day and/or past extraterrestrial organisms as the life as we know it needs liquid water.

Title: Spatial evolution of the December 2013 Metaponto plain (Basilicata, Italy) flood event using multi-source and high-resolution remotely sensed data
Abstract:
We present a multi-layer, multi-temporal flood map of the event occurred on December 2013 in Basilicata (southern Italy), documenting the spatial evolution of the inundated areas through time, as well as some ground effects of floodwaters inferred from the imagery. The map, developed within a GIS and consisting of four, 1:20,000 scale, different layers, was prepared using image processing, visual image interpretation and field survey controls. We used two COSMO-SkyMed synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, acquired during the event, and a Plèiades-1B High-Resolution optical image, acquired at the end of the event. We also used the information derived from the satellite imagery to update some local features of the OpenStreetMap (OSM) geospatial database, and then integrated it within the flood map. A classified multi-temporal dynamic map of inundation and flood effects has been produced in the form of a multi-layer pdf file (Main Map).

Title: Hydrogeology of continental southern Italy
Abstract:
This paper summarizes the results of a study focused on the hydrogeological characterization and recognition of groundwater resources in continental southern Italy, developed under the European INTERREG IIC Programme. The study reconstructed up-to-date scientific knowledge regarding aquifers, groundwater circulation schemes and groundwater resources exploitation in the administrative regions of southern Italy included in the Objective I (Molise, Campania, Basilicata, Puglia and Calabria). In this paper, the methodological approaches applied to synthesize and homogenize bibliographic data collected from the hydrogeological literature and to set a regional hydrogeological mapping are described. Results presented are three hydrogeological maps, 1:300,000 scale, showing hydrogeological units and groundwater flow schemes that are relevant in the regional hydrogeological context, and a brief description of principal types of aquifer and groundwater resources of continental southern Italy.

Title: The interplay of structural pathway and weathering intensity in forming mass-wasting processes in deeply weathered gneissic rocks (Sila Massif, Calabria, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents a detailed map (Main Map) showing geology, tectonics, weathering intensity and spatial distribution of landslides in the San Pietro in Guarano study area (about 7.5 km2), located in the north-western sector of Calabria (southern Italy). In this area, deeply weathered high-grade metamorphic rocks and different types/categories of mass movements are widespread. The Main Map, at 1:5000 scale, results from the combination of information gathered via analysis and interpretation of aerial photographs at different times and scales, multi-temporal geostructural and geomorphological surveys, field investigations and mapping of weathering grade in outcrop – through observation of geologically distinctive characteristics and qualitative and semi-quantitative engineering geological tests – integrated by means of the analysis of both weathering profiles on cutslopes and boreholes logs. The Main Map can represent a useful tool for authorities in charge of land-use planning and can profitably concur to typify landslides and to assess quantitative landslide risk.

Title: Facies analysis, stratigraphy and marine vertebrate assemblage of the lower Miocene Chilcatay Formation at Ullujaya (Pisco basin, Peru)
Abstract:
This paper is the first integrated account of the sedimentology, stratigraphy, and vertebrate paleontology for the marine strata of the Chilcatay Formation exposed at Ullujaya, Pisco basin (southern Peru). An allostratigraphic framework for the investigated strata was established using geological mapping (1:4000 scale) and conventional sedimentary facies analysis and resulted in recognition of two unconformity-bounded allomembers (designated Ct1 and Ct2 in ascending order). The chronostratigraphic framework is well constrained by integration of micropaleontological data and isotope geochronology and indicates deposition during the early Miocene. The marine vertebrate fossil assemblage is largely dominated by cetaceans (odontocetes), whereas isolated teeth and spines indicate a well-diversified elasmobranch assemblage. Our field surveys, conducted to evaluate the paleontological sensitivity of the investigated strata, indicate that vertebrate remains only came from a rather restricted stratigraphic interval of the Ct1 allomember and reveal the high potential for these sediments to yield abundant and scientifically significant fossil assemblages.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Marinelli and Pigafetta glaciers, Cordillera Darwin Icefield, southernmost Chile
Abstract:
This paper presents a glacial geomorphological map relating to two rapidly receding glaciers in the Cordillera Darwin Icefield. The Marinelli marine-terminating glacier and Pigafetta freshwater-terminating glacier are selected to represent different glacial regimes producing different geomorphological records under similar climatic conditions. We combine mapping from satellite and aerial imagery with fieldwork, updating limited previous mapping. The map reveals two principal glacial landform assemblages: (1) a marine-terminating system, dominated by the formation of a large arcuate terminal morainic complex, glaciolacustrine landforms (shorelines) and extended ice-contact topography in the Fiordo Marinelli area; and (2) an assemblage of sequential frontal moraine ridges and outwash plains that formed when the former land-terminating Pigafetta glacier retreated from the Bahía Ainsworth area. Finally, the map is designed as a basis for future chronological campaigns and to enable a refined reconstruction of the glacial history of these two glaciers in a climatologically significant part of the world.

Title: Assessment of the recurrence interval of wildfires in mainland Portugal and the identification of affected LUC patterns
Abstract:
Wildfires are responsible for major land use and land cover (LUC) changes. These events are frequent and catastrophic in Portugal and are responsible for great damage and loss of human life. In this study, a map to assess the probability of wildfire occurrence (PWO) in mainland Portugal was created for the period 1975-2017 (first half of 2017). The PWO was obtained by the superimposition of all layers by adding all the burned areas for the total period. It was observed that the occurrences and extent of the burned areas are highly variable from year to year. The PWO map was cross-referenced with LUC geoinformation to evaluate the LUC types that were more affected by the wildfires. The results presented and the PWO maps are important for the management and planning of forest areas and for the creation of guidelines to implement preventive and reactive actions in case of wildfires.

Title: Structure of the Castellaccio Pluton (Asinara Island, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper illustrates the geological and structural map (scale 1:10,000) of the Castellaccio Pluton (Asinara island – Italy), a peraluminous granodioritic intrusion of Variscan age that belongs to the Corsica-Sardinia Batholith. This small pluton, about 15 km2, emplaced within Paleozoic amphibolite-facies rocks during the post-collisional exhumation of the chain. The map shows the fine details of the magmatic structure of the pluton. Field-structural survey, coupled with remote sensing and major-elements geochemical mapping, allowed to recognize the occurrence of five magmatic units and the magmatic flow trajectories within the pluton. These outcomes provide useful insights into the architecture of the magmatic system. The results presented improve substantially the cartographic database of the Variscan crust of Sardinia and, finally, may serve as a robust background supporting further studies on the emplacement mechanism, or targeted to more specific petrologic studies.

Title: Three mires in the south-eastern Alps (northern Italy)
Abstract:
High-resolution vegetation maps, at 1:500 scale, were realized in three mires located in the Italian south-eastern Alps (Coltrondo West, 12,800 m2; Coltrondo South, 22,300 m2 and Palù di sotto, 50,600 m2). Vegetation maps were based on topography surveyed by GPS, performed on ground surveys and produced using ArcGIS 9.1. A total of 36 plant communities, whose distribution was reported on the maps, were individuated and classified according to the Braun-Blanquet method. The mires strongly differed from each other with regard to vegetation cover, with Coltrondo West having a prevalent bog-like vegetation and Coltrondo South a prevalently fen-like vegetation. At Palù di sotto, bog-like vegetation covered a surface fed by ground water. This pattern could be explained by the lowering of water table determined by intensive water extraction for human activities. The maps will be profitably used as reference for future monitoring of vegetation dynamics under changing climatic and landuse conditions.

Title: Soils of the Aversa plain (southern Italy)
Abstract:
The Aversa plain is one of the most important agricultural areas of the Campania region, combining the presence of very fertile soils, sites of great archaeological interest and growing residential urbanization.In this paper, the soil map (1:50,000 scale) of the Aversa plain is presented. Three main land systems (coastal, alluvial and foothill plains) characterized by different soil types (Andosols, Phaeozems, Cambisols, Vertisols, Arenosols, Histosols, Luvisols) have been identified. However, Andosols are the most widespread soil type (9768 ha) and, along with part of the Phaeozems and Cambisols, represent the most fertile soils of the Aversa plain (first and second classes of the land capability classification).In order to evaluate recent intense soil sealing, its impact over land capability classes was assessed during the last 60 years. Results show that soil sealing in the Aversa plain affected mainly the most fertile first- and second-class soils.

Title: Geomorphology of glaciated gorges in a granitic massif (Gredos range, central Spain)
Abstract:
A detailed geomorphological map on a 1:10,000 scale is presented for a high mountain area in Gredos range (Iberian Central System). Only few detailed geomorphological maps of the range are available despite the wide diversity of landforms. The map was created with the aid of aerial photographs, satellite images, and 3D images and verified with field surveys. The landforms resulting were classified using the IGUL (Institute of Geography, University of Lausanne) legend system combined with the legend proposed by Peña et al. (1997). As a result, 40 landforms distributed over an area of 40 km2 have been identified. The map shows the spatial distribution of different geomorphological processes that have modeled a wide variety of landforms. This variety of processes and landforms identified demonstrated that geomorphological cartography obtained by combining traditional image interpretation and GIS technology facilitates the production of geomorphological maps and the obtaining of valuable data for identify and understand surface processes and landforms.

Title: Loess and other Quaternary sediments in Germany
Abstract:
Geo- and palaeoecological studies focusing on the late Pleistocene require a detailed knowledge of the spatial distribution of aeolian sediments. In Germany, existing maps are either on large scales, have a regional focus or show significant inaccuracies such as artificial boundaries within different geological units. To obtain a more detailed, seamless map of the distribution of aeolian sediments and their potential source areas, we combined and reanalysed available geodata, using a Geographical Information System. The resultant maps (scale: approx. 1:2,600,000) show the link between source areas and the late Quaternary aeolian deposits in Germany and can provide one context for further work on, e.g. palaeogeographical studies. This work was compared with other already published datasets and the problems of sediment mapping at a small scale were discussed.

Title: Bathy-morphological setting of the Submarine Pausanias Volcanic Field, South Aegean Active Volcanic Arc
Abstract:
High-resolution swath-bathymetry has been acquired during recent surveys in Saronikos Gulf, near the densely populated city of Athens. This paper presents the first detailed bathymetric map, at a scale of 1:12,000, of the active Submarine Pausanias Volcanic Field located offshore NW Methana Peninsula in Saronikos Gulf, Aegean Sea (Main Map). Rugged morphology characterizes the volcanic field that includes mainly cone-shaped features. Six volcanic outcrops, covering an area of about 12 km2, have been morpho-bathymetrically outlined, and their sub-bottom character has been described by the integration of 2D seismic reflection profiles. Two groups of outcrops have been distinguished. An older group comprising more complex, erosional-shaped outcrops, and a younger group consisting of sub-conical outcrops. Both groups have been morphologically correlated to their onshore equivalents in the adjacent peninsula of Methana. Despite the active tectonic regime of the region, no evidence of mass transport-related features have been observed.

Title: Landslide inventory of the Basilicata region (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
A 1:10,000 scale landslide inventory map has been prepared for the Basilicata region (southern Italy) through extensive geomorphological analyses based on aerial photo-interpretations and field surveys. The study area (about 8000 km2) includes different morpho-structural domains of the southern Italian Apennines, and our results suggest that mass movement processes are mainly related to the intrinsic fragility of the landscape, which is featured by high relief and widespread outcrops of clay-rich deposits. As a matter of fact, the landslides of the inventory map cover about 4.8% of the surface area of the Basilicata region, whereas the total percentage of the area covered by the landslides reaches a value of 7.7%, if one considers also the landslides surveyed in previous works.

Title: Geology and tectonic setting of the Fornovolasco area, Alpi Apuane (Tuscany, Italy)
Abstract:
The study area is located in the Alpi Apuane (Tuscany, Italy), and extends between N 44°0′49.883″–E 10°20′23.467″ (SW corner) and N 44°2′53.403″–E 10°23′19.175″ (NE corner). The area shows a pile of tectonic units belonging either to the Apuane metamorphic complex, and Tuscan Nappe, stacked during the Alpine orogeny. The latter is represented by a sedimentary Triassic-Miocene succession, and it is characterized by a large-scale east-dipping monocline, with local excision of stratigraphic terms due to the occurrence of intra-unit low-angle normal faults. The Apuane metamorphic complex is formed by Paleozoic phyllites, post-Variscan magmatic rocks (Fornovolasco Metarhyolite Fm.), and Mesozoic-Tertiary metasedimentary formations. The 1:5000 scale geological map and the cross-sections illustrate the tectonic setting of the Fornovolasco area, resulting from the Tertiary tectono-metamorphic events. In the Fornovolasco area, small Tl-rich pyrite + magnetite ore bodies occur close to the contacts between the Paleozoic basement and the cover metasedimentary formations.

Title: Spatial distribution of surface forest fuel in the Slovak Republic
Abstract:
Forest fires represent a real danger not only for countries situated in the tropic and subtropic zones, but the fire danger is more and more actual also in moderate climate zones, particularly due to continuous climate change consequences. Forest fire prevention and fire mitigation measures were both developed in the Slovak Republic to cope with this problem. Some have been included in effective legislation. Fire behaviour modelling is a forest fire mitigation measure. Information on surface forest fuel spatial distribution, fuel height and volume are the necessary prerequisites for the fire behaviour modelling process. In this paper, we introduce the methodology and results of surface forest fuel spatial distribution mapping in the Slovak Republic. The results are introduced in both tabular and map form.

Title: Snow avalanche susceptibility in the eastern hillside of the Aramo Range (Asturian Central Massif, Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain)
Abstract:
A detailed snow avalanche susceptibility map of the eastern hillside in the Aramo Range (Cantabrian Mountains) is presented at a scale of 1:25,000. The Aramo Range is one of the major middle-altitude mountains of the Asturian Central Massif. Although it has of moderate height (maximum altitude of 1791 m a.s.l.), its eastern slope presents unusual snow avalanche activity. Specifically, a hundred of snow avalanche tracks have been mapped based on meticulous fieldwork and supported by interviews with local people, searches in newspaper archives, photointerpretation, and calculations based on the digital terrain model and geographic information system. As a result, a susceptibility map has been elaborated, which shows the suitability of combining fieldwork and geographic information technology. The composition consists of two maps that detail how the susceptibility mapping is obtained. The section analysed is limited to the eastern slope of the Aramo Range, whose total surface area is 1555.62 ha.

Title: Sedimentological and geomorphological characteristics of Quaternary deposits in the Planica-Tamar Valley in the Julian Alps (NW Slovenia)
Abstract:
We present a geomorphological map on a scale of 1:15,000, with detailed sedimentological descriptions, and a general relative spatio-temporal depositional reconstruction of Quaternary sediments in the Planica-Tamar Valley (NW Slovenia). After the Last Glacial Maximum, the retreating Quaternary glacier deposited large amounts of glacial sediments. These were followed by Holocene sediments, which differ in their sedimentological characteristics, transport mechanisms, and morphology. These sediments are deposited as sedimentary bodies with complex depositional geometries. They form areas of active, partly active, and inactive sedimentation in response to local/regional climate and bedrock geology. Previous research of the valley was mainly focused on bedrock mapping, while almost completely neglecting Quaternary deposits. This work is the first broader analysis of Quaternary sedimentary deposits in the research area, which offers an insight into the complex geomorphological and sedimentological processes, which shape the current mountainous landscape.

Title: Geomorphology of the Mt. Cusna Ridge (Northern Apennines, Italy): evolution of a Holocene landscape
Abstract:
The Mt. Cusna ridge, located in the Northern Apennines (North Italy), is a mountain area of relevant geological interest for the interaction through time of distinct geomorphic processes, acting since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum. A geomorphological map at the 1:10,000 scale was produced to characterise the main landforms and processes identifiable on the ridge. From this, a detailed reconstruction of the Holocene landscape history of the area is drawn. After deglaciation, at the end of the Pleistocene, glacial and periglacial processes left wide deposits and barren surfaces. Slope and running water processes acted cyclically on the landscape through phases of stronger slope denudation and landslide activation followed by stability periods. These processes are related to the main climatic changes recorded for the N Apennines during the Holocene. Since the Late Holocene, the impact of human communities may have played a prominent role as an agent of landscape modification.

Title: Geomorphology of the north-eastern coast of Gozo (Malta, Mediterranean Sea)
Abstract:
The paper presents a geomorphological map of the north-eastern coast of the Island of Gozo (Malta) integrating inland and offshore areas at the scale 1:15,000. The map derives from the integration of different methods, such as aerial photo interpretation, field surveys and analysis of seafloor bathymetry. The landforms identified on land were shaped by coastal, fluvial, karst and gravity-induced processes, and some of them prolong on the seafloor. Most of the submerged landforms appear to have been modelled in subaerial conditions during sea-level lowstands, having been sealed by the rising sea in post-glacial times. Two sketches accompany the Main Map showing the type and distribution of coastal geomorphotypes and the land cover of the area.

Title: Plio-Quaternary geology of the Paganica-San Demetrio-Castelnuovo Basin (Central Italy)
Abstract:
We present the geological map at 1:25,000 scale of the Plio-Quaternary Paganica-San Demetrio-Castelnuovo Basin corresponding to the epicentral area of the 6 April 2009 Mw: 6.29 L’Aquila earthquake. The map focuses on the relationships between the active tectonics and the Plio-Quaternary deposits and on the early evolution of this continental basin. Fine-scale geological field surveys, coupled with paleontological data, facies analyses, well logs and geophysical data interpretation, allowed to better understand the stratigraphy and to review the previously described stratigraphical units, resulting in the definition of eight synthems, spanning from late Piacenzian to Holocene. More precisely, the occurrence of a Caspiocypris species flock (ostracods) at the base of the sedimentary infill of the basin formed by a lacustrine system, suggests that the onset of deposition started in the late Piacenzian. The lacustrine system disappeared around the Gelasian/Calabrian transition, while the subsequent evolution of the sedimentary basin was characterized by the presence of fluvial and alluvial fan systems progressively entrenched into the lake deposits.The results of the above-mentioned activities are summarized in the attached geological map, where the Plio-Quaternary synthems and the active normal faults accountable for the significant seismicity were highlighted.

Title: Marine benthic forms of the Marine Protected Area Capo Caccia-Isola Piana (Sardinia, Italy)
Abstract:
The great ecological and economic value of the biocenoses of Marine Protected Area ‘Capo Caccia-Isola Piana’ (MPA) requires a constant monitoring. For this reason, a continuous study of the area producing overlapping maps useful to control in real time the evolution of the biocenoses is necessary. The integrated use of several methodologies, such as Side Scan Sonar, Remote Operating Vehicle and Drone, has allowed us to realize a very detailed map. This paper presents the marine benthic map of the MPA and compares the present situation with that recorded in 2008.

Title: Debris flows in the Hrubý Jeseník Mountains, Bohemian Massif, Czech Republic
Abstract:
Debris flows in mountainous areas have a deep geomorphic impact on slope dynamics. Their activity corresponds with heavy rainfall events. The estimation of these events depends not only on meteorological prediction but also on the knowledge of their spatial occurrence. As debris flows usually occur in the same paths with different frequencies during the Quaternary period, spatial data are needed to obtain more detailed information about debris flow phenomena. This was the reason for the creation of the presented map of debris flow features in the Hrubý Jeseník Mts. A total of 95 debris flow paths and 47 debris flow accumulations (including lobes or levees) have been mapped in the field. A comprehensive spatial database of debris flow features is shown in the map, which could be helpful for future research of Quaternary geomorphic evolution of the landscape and for forest management and state administrative authorities in future planning.

Title: Geology of the eastern slopes of the Simbruini Mts. between Verrecchie and Capistrello (Central Apennines – Abruzzo, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents the results of a geological mapping project across the eastern Simbruini Mts. and the higher Roveto Valley (Central Apennines). The study area belongs to the Latium-Abruzzi Domain, which is characterized by a Cretaceous and Miocene carbonate platform succession followed by a thick upper Miocene terrigenous succession. A unique feature of the study area is the existence of a thick clastic unit, the ‘brecce della Renga fm.’; this unit was produced by the dismantling of the margins of a large pre-orogenic extensional structural high, which rose within the foredeep basin starting in the early Tortonian. Following the Messinian-Pliocene Apennine chain building phase, the area was subjected to post-orogenic Quaternary extension, related to the opening of the Tyrrhenian sea. A geological map on the 1:20,000 scale illustrates the main stratigraphic and structural features of the area.

Title: Natura 2000 habitat of Mt. Argentario promontory (southern Tuscany, Italy)
Abstract:
The Mt. Argentario promontory (southern Tuscany, Italy) is a protected area hosting habitats and species of European importance. The Mt. Argentario Natura 2000 habitat map (1:10,000) was compiled from photo-interpretation and field surveys, integrated with data from past cartographic and phytosociological studies. Conventional geographical information system procedures were used to select and manage spatial information, and delimit the map polygons. The following attributes were assigned to each map polygon: (i) habitat type name, with Natura 2000 code and (ii) percentage cover of the habitat type. Where multiple habitat types were associated in a mosaic attributed to the same polygon, the percentage cover of each habitat type was estimated. The survey allowed to identify and map a total of 13 Natura 2000 habitat types covering more than 40% of the study area. Presence and conservation importance of the detected habitat types are discussed, together with the usefulness of this kind of maps for monitoring and managing purposes.

Title: Reconstruction of selected paleoenvironmental components of medieval Toruń, Poland, and its close suburbs
Abstract:
This article presents maps of reconstructions of selected primary (i.e. prior to the thirteenth-century founding of the town) abiotic components of the natural environment of medieval Toruń (northern Poland, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship) and its close suburbs. The reconstructions were carried out on the basis of topographical, geological and historical data. Despite their many limitations, the procedures employed represent the first attempt at a quantitative reconstruction of the primary relief, surface geology and hydrology of the analysed area. The result of the reconstruction presented on the maps could be used as the basis for both a reconstruction of biotic components of the natural environment and verification of hypotheses regarding the conditions of the founding and spatial development of the town.

Title: Average annual and seasonal Land Surface Temperature, Spanish Peninsular
Abstract:
The first long-term Land Surface Temperature (LST) maps for the Peninsular Spain at annual and seasonal time scales for 1981–2015 is presented in this work. A robust protocol for correcting and calibrating NOAA-AVHRR images and computing LST datasets at the spatial resolution of 1.1 km has been used. Simultaneously, maximum air temperature (Tmax) maps at the same spatial resolution have been produced using data from meteorological stations. The comparison between the two datasets resulted in statistically significant spatial correlations at annual and seasonal scales. Finally, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data were also compared with the obtained LST datasets and the results showed significant negative correlations between the two variables, especially in summer.

Title: Glacial dispersal trains in North America
Abstract:
A map depicting glacial dispersal trains in North America has been compiled from published sources. It covers the Canadian Shield, the Arctic Islands, the Cordillera and Appalachian mountains, and Phanerozoic sedimentary basins south of the Shield. In total, 140 trains are portrayed, including those emanating from major mineral-deposit types (e.g. gold, base metal, diamondiferous kimberlite, etc.). The map took 10 years of on-and-off work to generate, and it culls data from over 150 years of work by government, industry, and academia. It provides a new tool to help companies find ore deposits in Canada: the trains are generally a better predictor of dispersal distance and direction than striations and streamlined landforms, the data typically depicted on surficial-geology maps, including the Glacial Map of Canada. It also gives new insight into sedimentation patterns and processes beneath ice sheets, a sedimentary environment that, because of its inaccessibility, remains poorly understood and controversial.

Title: Exposure to human influence – a geographical field approximating intensity of human influence on landscape structure
Abstract:
A new spatial variable for the land use and land cover change modelling is introduced, approximating the intensity of human influence on the landscape. The ‘exposure’ simulates the dilution of human activity from settlements (source points with information about population size or other human activity quantification) to landscape, based on the accessibility. Exposure to a settlement is directly proportional to its population size and inversely proportional to the cost distance from the settlement. Cost distance uses the sine of the slope angle as a cost raster to simulate a barrier effect of the terrain. Overall exposure to human influence summates exposure to all individual settlements in a region. The resultant raster field created for Slovakia achieves observable resemblance to the actual intensity of land use derived from Corine Land Cover map. The ArcGIS tool developed for the exposure calculation is supplemented.

Title: Volcanology of Ischia (Italy)
Abstract:
A volcanological map of the active Ischia volcanic field that includes Vivara Island is presented. The volcanological map is at the 1:10,000 scale and is based on 1:5000 field mapping, geological CAR.G data, and new volcanological studies. Geological data are represented on the three-dimensional orographic background digital terrain model of the inland and offshore areas of the volcanic field. This allows a better visualization of the main morphological, volcanic, and geological structures. Six phases were identified on the basis of volcanotectonic events; the 110 volcanic units were arranged following these evolutive phases, and a volcanosedimentary apron unit was introduced. This volcanological map enables visualization of the volcanic evolution of the Ischia volcanic field and could be useful for the evaluation of volcano-related hazards in the area.

Title: The geology of the Navua Valles region of Mars
Abstract:
The Navua Valles are a system of channels and valleys on the inner rim of Hellas Basin. The aim of this mapping study was to determine the geologic history of the Navua Valles region; and the relationships between the basement, flow, and channel units along the northeastern slope of Hellas Basin. We have produced a 1:1 million scale geologic map of the Navua Valles region, utilizing standard USGS geologic mapping procedures, but not within a regular USGS mapping project. We selected the mapping area boundaries specifically to cover the Navua Valles drainage systems. The primary base of this mapping effort was a mosaic of 161 Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Context Camera images, at approximately 6 m/pixel. This paper is part of a double publication, one paper describing the geology of this area, and this paper presenting the geologic map produced during the investigation.

Title: Roman Catholic Diocese of Varaždin (Dioecesis Varasdinum)
Abstract:
The paper describes the research and creation of the map of the Diocese of Varaždin. After many changes in the Diocese over the years, this map has finally been completed and published for the first time. The process of the map making is described. Furthermore, it points at the problems related to some specific contents of the map and provides solutions to those problems, specifically, the divergence of the borders gathered from different sources. This extensive project resulted in the creation of a map in A2 paper format on a 1:225,000 scale. The GIS and the data collected about the specific map content were both the starting point and the source of data for the visualization of the map of the Diocese of Varaždin. This is important because there are none that precede it. Such a thematic map would therefore mark an advance in the field and be appropriate.

Title: Structural glaciology of Isunguata Sermia, West Greenland
Abstract:
We present a 1:42,000 scale map of Isunguata Sermia, a land-terminating outlet glacier draining the western-sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Structure-from-Motion software applied to ∼3,600 aerial images collected by a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle in July 2015 allowed us to produce a high resolution (0.3 m ground sampling distance (GSD)) orthomosaic and digital elevation model (DEM; 1.5 m GSD).These products were used to map and describe the structural, geomorphological and hydrological features of the lower 16 km terminus of Isunguata Sermia and include many thousands of crevasses, crevasse traces and supraglacial channels. Additionally, several geomorphological features and pro-glacial hydrological features were identified, including debris-covered ice, lateral moraines and ice-marginal lakes. The map has potential for informing and reconstructing the long-term dynamic history of the glacier, including its response to variable environmental forcing.

Title: Geological landscape and stone heritage of the Genoa Walls Urban Park and surrounding area (Italy)
Abstract:
In the last 20 years the conservation and enhancement of cultural and landscape heritage sites have been increasingly promoted by specific national and international laws. Thematic maps from scientific studies facilitate the public promotion and understanding of landscape and cultural heritage. This work introduces a novel geological landscape and stone heritage map of the Genoa Walls Urban Park (1:10.000 scale). The park is located in the immediate surroundings of Genoa city centre and it includes a complex system of historical fortifications. Today the park is frequented by hikers, mountain bikers and tourists.The map shows three different elements of the park: lithological and geomorphological elements, cultural and landscape heritage sites and the trail network. This map offers new insights into the way in which the park authority can promote the sustainable fruition of a highly valuable area, characterised by landscape and historical interest next to one of the largest historical centres of Europe, part of which is inscribed in the list of Unesco World Heritage Sites.

Title: Geology of the Colle di Tenda – Monte Marguareis area (Ligurian Alps, NW Italy)
Abstract:
The 1:25,000 geological map of the Colle di Tenda – Monte Marguareis area covers an area of about 130 km2 in the Italian Ligurian Alps, between the Vermenagna and Tanaro valleys. It is a detailed geological map of a sector of the Ligurian Alps of renewed scientific interest, and represents the eastern continuation of a recently published geological map of the Entracque-Colle di Tenda area. In addition to the increased detail and scale, the more relevant new contents of this map are represented by:
a map of all the tectonic elements making up the Limone-Viozene Zone and the Refrey Unit, which represent the south-eastern portion of a major regional transfer zone developed at the southern termination of the Western Alps arc;the representation of km-scale Cretaceous palaeoescarpments previously overlooked or interpreted as Alpine faults;a new interpretation of some dark shales with interbedded sandstones, which were previously mapped as Helminthoides Flysch tectonic remnants, as belonging to the Annot Sandstone unit, the uppermost term of the Alpine Foreland Basin succession; anda map legend designed following the same criteria of the 1:250,000 Map of the Piemonte Region.

Title: Geomorphology of the Valdegovía valley (Basque-Cantabrian Basin, Northern Spain): an example of a sub-Mediterranean, low-mid mountainous, structurally controlled area
Abstract:
A detailed geomorphological map at 1:25,000 scale is presented for the Valdegovía valley (Álava, Northern Spain), located at the central zone of the Basque-Cantabrian Basin. The map has been developed after several field surveys, with the aid of GIS techniques and high resolution digital terrain models (DTM) derived from LiDAR datasets. The high resolution LiDAR DTMs have revealed uncountable ground features and slope breaks that frequently are hidden by dense forests. Considering the tectonic control and the current sub-Mediterranean climate of the studied area, most landforms and deposits in the Valdegovía valley respond to lithostructural, gravitational, karstic, fluvial, and anthropogenic morphogenesis. We conclude that the geomorphological evolution of the Valdegovía valley has been strongly conditioned by a structural control related with two main NW-SE trending asymmetric folds.

Title: Tree species distribution in the United States Part 1
Abstract:
The distribution and local abundance of tree species constitute basic information about our forest ecosystems that is relevant to understanding their ecology, diversity, and relationship to people. The US Forest Service conducts a forest inventory across all forest lands in the United States. We developed geospatial models of forest attributes using this sample-based inventory which make this information available for an even wider variety of applications. From these modeled datasets, we created a series of maps for 24 US states in an effort to connect more people to trees, the datasets, and the scientific research behind them. Presenting these maps in an attractive way invites engagement. The sidebar text is presented in accessible scientific language that clearly defines terms, guides readers in interpreting the maps and histograms, and provides source details and links. The resulting maps are inviting, informative, and accessible to a broad range of people of different ages and backgrounds.

Title: Fluvial and aeolian dynamics of the Santa María River in the Cafayate depression (Salta Province, NW Argentina)
Abstract:
A geomorphological cartography of the Cafayate depression (NW Argentina) at a scale of 1:20,000 is presented. The Main Map was made with satellite images from 2009 to 2016 and aerial photographs from various dates. The area was classified into three categories of geomorphological dynamics according the type of fluvio-aeolian interaction. Anastomosing channels and crevasse splays are dominant in the southern section of the Santa María River, while meandering channels develop in the northern section. Extensive dune fields interacting with fluvial deposits have developed in the central sector of the depression. The Main Map also reflects the main human features and can be used as a tool for preparing hazard maps.

Title: A framework for cultural heritage management and research: the Cancellara case study
Abstract:
This paper deals with the approach used to create the digital cultural heritage map (hereafter, c.h.) of the mountain village of Cancellara and its territory, located in Basilicata, Southern Italy. The map is thought to be an exhaustive georeferenced catalogue of sites of cultural interest to bring fresh insights and new life to the c.h. and support decisions for their protection, management and valorization by the municipality and public bodies, national and regional, designated to fulfil the duties in ensuring the protection and accessibility of cultural heritage. A digital c.h. map is also important and useful for scholars who conduct studies and investigations as well as for private companies and cultural associations which work in the field of Cultural and Creative Industry. This map allows access to information useful for the reconstruction of the history of the place, dispersed among various private and public archives or unpublished. The map includes a chart at the territory scale, and more detail for the built-up area and its historical centre. It summarises data from heterogeneous sources.

Title: The Colorado and Virgin Rivers before Lake Mead
Abstract:
In 1936, the completion of Hoover Dam on the Colorado River in Nevada and Arizona created Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States. When the lake reached capacity in 1941 several canyons and valleys were flooded, along with two towns, several mines, farm fields, and roads. The area had not been surveyed archaeologically and little detailed information exists about the vegetation and geology of this region. The map reconstructions the geography of the area in 1930 before Lake Mead was constructed, showing roads, towns, mines, physical features, and private property, and was created using a range of historical United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps, a digital elevation model (DEM) providing underwater elevations, and other historical sources. The map includes portions of southern Nevada and northwest Arizona, United States, and is at a scale of 1:210,000. It is hoped that the map may draw attention to the lost geographies of other localities across the United States due to the more than 84,000 dams and reservoirs in the country.

Title: Paleotopographic influences of the Cretaceous/Tertiary angular unconformity on uranium mineralization in the Shirley Basin, Wyoming
Abstract:
The Shirley Basin is a small asymmetric synclinal structure located in northern Carbon County, Wyoming approximately 65 km (40 miles) south of Casper, Wyoming, USA. The basin formed during the Laramide orogeny of the Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary (78–49 Ma) and contains economically significant uranium deposits. The underlying Cretaceous units form an angular unconformity with the overlying Tertiary units that represents a paleotopographic erosional surface characterized by stream channels and overbank deposits of interbedded sand and clay with some organic detritus. Furthermore, the Cretaceous shales function as the lower confining unit/aquitard for in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium mining, and the overlying Tertiary sandstones host the uranium mineralization.This study maps the K/T boundary in greater detail than previous studies and identifies paleotopographic features that influence sedimentary environments and structures that favor uranium mineralization. Using a larger study region and thousands of historical wells and associated electric logs not available to previous studies, this research identifies unit boundaries and enters them into Golden Software’s Surfer and Esri’s ArcGIS to construct a detailed structure contour map on the K/T surface. The map delineates paleotopography such as hills and river channels, with the latter showing a strong spatial association with uranium mineralization. Geologists can use these maps to identify thicker host sands and fluvial features which enhance uranium mineralization. Mining companies can reduce operational and exploration costs by drilling in these more favorable areas to efficiently delineate the ore body geometry and develop more accurate mine unit designs that will maximize uranium recovery.

Title: Flood hazard of major river segments, Benevento Province, Southern Italy
Abstract:
On 15 October 2015, a storm-induced flood hit the central sector of Benevento Province (southern Italy) causing two deaths and severe damage to infrastructure, buildings and local agriculture. This area has a long history of similar events and since 1924 its major river segments have been monitored with several hydrometric stations. We used data from two of these stations and a LiDAR derived high-resolution topography to develop a flood hazard map. For map computation, we first derived a flood inundation map from topography. Subsequently we estimated the probability of exceedance of each specific fluvial stage from the combination of a Generalized Extreme Value and a Gamma fits of available hydrometric data. As boundary condition, we considered a reference scenario corresponding to an estimated 500 year flood. The hazard maps provide an overview of the flood hazard in the central sector of Benevento Province and floodplains zonation in flood perspective.

Title: Intraformational unconformities as a record of late Miocene eustatic falls of sea level in the Pisco Formation (southern Peru)
Abstract:
Field mapping and sedimentological study of outcrop sections exposed along the Ica River valley permitted the establishment of a regional allostratigraphic framework for the upper Miocene portion of the Pisco Formation. The stratigraphy of the studied interval is illustrated using a new 1:20,000-scale geological map which reveals that this formation is a cyclical sedimentary succession composed of three fining-upward allomembers. The bounding surfaces defining each allomember are transgressively modified subaerial unconformities. They converge and merge landward into a single composite surface representing the time-transgressive lower boundary of the Pisco Formation. Accordingly, the extent of the stratigraphic gap associated with the basal unconformity varies significantly throughout the basin and increases toward the basin margins. The timing of allomember-bounding surfaces coincides with that of major oxygen-isotope maxima in the deep-sea oxygen isotopic record and matches the ages of eustatic sequence boundaries identified elsewhere, indicating glacio-eustatic falls due to the growth of Antarctica ice sheets as a viable mechanism for their development.

Title: Fluvial-aeolian sedimentary facies, Sossusvlei, Namib Desert
Abstract:
Aeolian sedimentary processes and corresponding facies shape the Earth’s surface and control the evolution of dune fields. The Namib Sand Sea with its Sossusvlei playa-lake is a perfect example to investigate the spatial distribution of fluvially influenced aeolian deposits. Remote sensing in combination with ground observations allowed for mapping of the facies distribution pattern of associated fluvial and aeolian sediments. Laboratory spectral signature measurements were used to further improve the separation between six groups of facies: modern aeolian sand, deflation surface, mud pool/mud drapes, heavy mineral lag, reworked fluvial–aeolian sediments, and fossil dune remnant. The best results were achieved through a supervised classification algorithm trained by field observations, a combination of Principal Component Analysis, band ratios, texture and geomorphologic indices. Consequently, a map outlining the facies distribution pattern of the Sossusvlei area at a scale of 1:10,000 was created. We propose this as a possible workflow to efficiently map and monitor desert environments and to investigate the interplay of aeolian and fluvial sediments.

Title: Historical land use dataset of the Carpathian region (1819–1980)
Abstract:
We produced the first spatially explicit, cross-border, digital map of long-term (160 years) land use in the Carpathian Ecoregion, the Hungarian part of the Pannonian plains and the historical region of Moravia in the Czech Republic. We mapped land use in a regular 2 × 2 km point grid. Our dataset comprises of 91,310 points covering 365,240 km2 in seven countries (Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine and Romania). We digitized three time layers: (1) for the Habsburg period, we used maps of the second Habsburg military survey from years 1819–1873 at the scale 1:28,800 and the Szatmari's maps from years 1855–1858 at scale 1:57,600; (2) The World Wars period was covered by national topographic maps from years 1915–1945 and scales here ranged between 1:20,000–1:100,000; and (3) the Socialist period was mapped from national topographic maps for the years 1950–1983 at scales between 1:25,000–1:50,000. We collected metadata about the years of mapping and map sources. We used a hierarchical legend for our maps, so that the land use classification for the entire region consisted of 9 categories at the most general level and of 22 categories depending on the period and a country.

Title: Valley network morphology in the greater Meridiani Planum region, Mars
Abstract:
The Greater Meridiani Planum region on Mars is a key locale for a diverse range of fluvial landforms. Valley networks in this region have a range of geomorphologic styles that include negative relief, positive relief, or some combination of both along their lengths. Using high-resolution ∼5–6 m/pixel orbital images in ArcGIS Desktop software, we mapped previously under-recognized fine-scale valley networks within the Greater Meridiani Planum region and recorded their geomorphic characteristics as feature attributes. The objectives in using the mapped features are to 1) document the full range of valley network morphologic types in the region, 2) document changes in morphologic types both on a regional scale and along the valley network segments, and 3) to use the mapped features along with other geologic information from previous studies to better understand landscape evolution in the Greater Meridiani Planum region.

Title: Loess distribution and related Quaternary sediments in the Carpathian Basin
Abstract:
Supraregional (palaeo)geoecological studies require detailed knowledge of the distribution of aeolian sediments and their sources. Such spatial data can be visualised and shared in maps, but often these are constrained in their resolution or extent. This is the case for the Carpathian Basin, where cross-border maps are not detailed enough to answer many research questions. Problems occur especially along political borders due to different geological mapping standards and varying lithological definitions. Using a Geographic Information System (GIS), we compiled a map showing the distribution of loess and related Quaternary sediments in the Carpathian Basin, with unprecedented detail. We vectorised and analysed existing data (mainly from geological maps) and combined and transferred these into a common (loess) sediment classification system. This cross-border map shows the distribution of aeolian sediments in the Carpathian Basin at a scale of 1:1,500,000. For the northwestern and the southern Carpathian Basin, we added maps that clarify the extent of late Pleistocene and Holocene terrace and floodplain deposits, which were merged in the Main Map to highlight the predominant dust source areas for this region.

Title: Pre-Alpine and Alpine deformation at San Pellegrino pass (Dolomites, Italy)
Abstract:
In this work, we present the geological map of the San Pellegrino pass, inserted in the spectacular scenario of the Dolomiti region (Southern Alps, Italy), at a scale of 1:10.000 and accompanied by geological cross-sections. The detailed distinction of lithological thin units allowed to achieve a consistent interpretation of the local structural setting by drawing brittle and ductile Alpine tectonic deformations. The differential deformation and structural styles within the geological map are the result of the different rheological nature of volcanic and sedimentary rocks, as well as of the superimposition of compressional Alpine tectonics over Permo-Mesozoic extensional tectonic phases, and consequent reactivation of inherited structures.

Title: Channel changes of the Adige River (Eastern Italian Alps) over the last 1000 years and identification of the historical fluvial corridor
Abstract:
A 1:50,000-scale geomorphological map of the Adige/Etsch River valley bottom (NE Italy) is presented. The study area is 115 km long, and it extends between the villages of Merano/Meran and Calliano, including also the terminal segments of 9 major tributaries of the Adige River. Presently, the Adige shows a sinuous to straight morphology owing to massive channelization occurred during the nineteenth century. Fluvial geomorphological features have been mapped through a detailed-scale comparative multi-temporal analysis carried out on several historical maps dating since the eighteenth century, previous thematic maps, geological maps of the Italian ‘CARG’ project, orthophotos (2011) and high – resolution DEMs. The map shows the active river channel, dating to 1803–1805 (before channelization), to 1856-1861 (during channelization) and under present conditions, as well as several paleo-channels dating up to the thirteenth century. The analysis led to define the corridor of historical channel changes, a fundamental tool for river management purposes.

Title: Proposal for geomorphological mapping of debris-covered and rock glaciers and its application to Tröllaskagi Peninsula (Northern Iceland)
Abstract:
This work defends and applies a new proposal for mapping debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers. This proposal combines highly accurate traditional methods, such as manual geomorphological photointerpretation, with novel digital techniques. The new methodological strategy applies rendering and lighting tools from Computer-Aided Design platforms and uses graphic design from Desktop Publishing Programs, to improve the geovisualization of geomorphological maps. This combination was applied to the debris-covered glacier and a set of rock glaciers located on the Tröllaskagi peninsula (northern Iceland). The result is a 1:4,500 scale geomorphological map of 16 km2, which for the first time maps the features that differentiate the debris-covered glacier from rock glaciers, as well as genetically different units within each formation and a long series of landforms characteristic of different processes. This map thus becomes a very useful tool in the evolutionary study of these formations in relation to the impact of climate change.

Title: Mapping population aging in Europe: how are similar needs in different countries met by different family structures?
Abstract:
This paper focuses primarily on the demographic and social structures across Europe aiming to portray how similar needs for care of the elderly population (justified on health outcomes), are addressed in different ways across European countries. To approach this issue, we focus first on mapping the ‘needs for care’ – a rough measure of demand for care, and then on family structures – characterizing an institution linked with the provision or supply of care. Attention turns next to linking these aspects, focusing on the types of care provided as a response to the needs of the elderly, distinguishing between informal (defined as unpaid personal care provided by family members) and formal care (defined as paid help provided by professionals and private providers). Mapping these trends, via choropleth maps, the emerging picture suggests that the same needs for elderly care are met via different channels across European countries: Southern countries appear to rely more on informal channels of care provision, while private providers (i.e. paid care) represent the dominant pattern in the North, as well as in most of the Continental counties. This difference is mirrored by a greater involvement of formal structures linked to the Welfare State as one goes further North; indeed the two – family ties and Welfare State involvement – proceed in parallel.

Title: Application of mobile phone location data in mapping of commuting patterns and functional regionalization: a pilot study of Estonia
Abstract:
The paper presents initial steps into the research of commuting patterns and functional regions using mobile phone location data. The main aim is to introduce and discuss the potential of mobile phone location data as an alternative data sources to censuses for mapping commuting flows and subsequent functional regionalization. A set of analytical maps covering various aspects of regular daily movements of population and functional regionalization is provided. Estonia is serving as a pilot laboratory for analyses based on commuting flows derived from mobile phone location data. The maps give to reader a synthetic overview of contemporary settlement system in Estonia and introduce the potential of mobile phone location data for research in this field.

Title: A high-resolution population grid map for Europe
Abstract:
Population figures are usually collected by national statistical institutes at small enumeration units (e.g. census tracts or building units). However, still for many countries in Europe, data are distributed at coarser geographical units like municipalities. This level of resolution is insufficient for analysis in many fields. In addition, the heterogeneity of the size of the geographical units causes great distortions in analysis, i.e. the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP). Dasymetric mapping techniques have long been applied world-wide to derive finer (and MAUP-free) depictions of the population distribution. These techniques disaggregate population figures reported at coarse source zones into a finer set of zones using ancillary geographical data. Previous attempts to map the European population at high resolution have used CORINE Land Cover (CLC) as the main source of ancillary data. In this article, we test new geographical datasets to produce an updated and improved European population grid map. It is tested whether using more detailed ancillary data in the dasymetric mapping significantly yields higher accuracies. As final outcome of this cartographic exercise, a European population grid map for the reference year of 2006, with a spatial resolution of 100 × 100 meters, is presented and validated against reference data. Resident population reported at commune level, a refined version of CLC and information on the soil sealing degree are used as the main inputs to produce the final map.

Title: Supranational study of population potential: Spain and France
Abstract:
Nowadays, people divide their activities into different spaces and times, often depending on information and transport networks. Moreover, each social group generates an interaction with others in terms of social, economic and functional activities. These relationships are complicated to display, however an approach can be made from potential models. Population potential is one of the most fruitful adaptations of Physics laws to the field of Human Geography.The gravity model suggests that two separate groups of people, say in two cities, generate a mutual interaction proportional to the product of their sizes, and that this interaction is impeded by the frictional effect of the intervening distance over which it must take place (Rich, 1980. Potential models in human geography. Concepts and Techniques in Modern Geography, 26. University of East Anglia, Norwich).Population potential indicates the intensity of possible interactions between social or economic groups at different locations. Therefore, it is an index of the nearness of people to one another and a measure of the influence of people at a distance. This study uses a variant of the gravity model, adding the population of each cell to the total potential calculated for it.The result of this work is a raster map (5-km cell size) for Spain and France in 2008, at a scale of 1:5,350,000. This map uses a sequential color scheme to represent population potential and to illustrate the broad spatial distributions and interactions of population. This is a useful tool for functional and demographic analysis which supplements other population representations by density or symbol size.

Title: Defining neighborhood boundaries for urban health research in developing countries: a case study of Accra, Ghana
Abstract:
The neighborhood has been used as a sampling unit for exploring variations in health outcomes. In a variety of studies census tracts or ZIP codes have been used as proxies for neighborhoods because the boundaries are pre-defined units for which other data are readily available. However these spatial units can be arbitrary and do not account for social-cultural behaviors and identities that are significant to residents. In this study for the city of Accra, Ghana, our goal was to create a neighborhood map that represented the boundaries generally agreed upon by the residents of the city using the smallest available census unit, the enumeration area (EA), as the base unit. This neighborhood map was then used as the basis for mapping spatial variations in health within the city. The first step in demarcating the boundaries was to identify features that limit a person's movement including the major roads, drainage features, and railroad tracks that people use to partially define their neighborhood boundaries. Once an initial set of boundaries were established, they were iteratively modified by walking the neighborhoods, talking to residents, public officials, and others. The resulting neighborhood map consolidated 1723 EAs into 108 neighborhoods covering the entire Accra metropolitan area. Results indicated that the team achieved 71% accuracy in mapping neighborhoods when the neighborhood keyed to the survey EA was compared with the response given by the interviewees in the 2008–2009 Women's Health Survey of Accra when asked which neighborhood they lived in.

Title: Cartographic techniques for communicating class separability: enhanced choropleth maps of median household income, Iowa
Abstract:
In mapping population characteristics, data are usually portrayed as accurate without error. However, many population datasets provide estimates derived from surveys or samples, and a certain level of uncertainty is associated with each estimate. Ignoring estimated uncertainty information in mapping may produce misleading maps and generate spurious spatial patterns. In this paper, we introduce a measure of separability to indicate the likelihood that units assigned to different classes are truly different statistically. A series of map symbolization techniques is proposed to communicate class separability to the cartographer or map reader, and presented in four series of maps of American Community Survey data on median household income for Iowa counties. These map series illustrate several different techniques: a legend designed to communicate separability between classes, graduated line symbols to communicate separability between individual map units, and a color scheme in which perceptual color differences are related to class separability. Each map series presents three alternative classifications to illustrating how the proposed symbolization techniques could assist a cartographer in choosing the more preferable classification scheme.

Title: Sociospatial inequality: combining multilevel and spatial analysis
Abstract:
The idea that statistical relationships can change over time and space has been around for many centuries. Social scientists began investigating how statistical relationships shift over time, with techniques such as time series analysis, long ago and have only recently begun to explore shifts over geographical space. A map of the USA. mainland that makes use of recent population data to regress a geographically weighted regression is presented to show the reader an instance when a statistical relationship varies as a function of geographical space.

Title: Mapping the firmographic mobility: a case study in a region of Madrid
Abstract:
Understanding the location patterns of firms within a region has proved to be an important factor to study the development of urban form. Moreover, the study of firms' location patterns allows the implementation of the adequate policy strategies to increase firms' location rate in certain areas, for example when practitioners are dealing with deprived zones. The aim of this paper is to map firmographic data as a function of its location over a certain period of time, and its employment weight in order to discuss which factors have a direct impact on the results and to highlight which specific areas need the adequate measures to promote employment and public transportation. As a case study, it is proposed to analyze the southwest region of Madrid. Spatial statistic methods were used for this study, which were found to be very efficient in order to evaluate which areas need special attention.

Title: Development of Olomouc city in 1930–2009: based on analysis of functional areas
Abstract:
The paper and the maps deal with analysis of Olomouc city development that was based on GIS processing. The first step of the following analysis was digitization of all city plans created in the twentieth century. The new city plan that is going to be finalized in 2011 was also included in this analysis. Altogether four city plans from 1930, 1955, 1985 and 1999 were collected, digitized and analyzed. The main result of this work is a set of maps that shows how serious the changes in Olomouc city in the last few decades were. The maps are not only documents of the status of each functional area in the studied periods. In the form of synthesis, the maps also show stability and instability of spatial functional structure. The maps can be used as a significant source of information about developments of Olomouc city during the twentieth century. The results can be used as an important source for a number of geographical or urban studies, both for experts and the general public.

Title: Information-rich visualisation of dense geographical networks
Abstract:
Network information on geographical entities such as cities is frequently analysed numerically, but seldom visualised in an appealing form. Reasons for this include the absence of powerful software that is capable of handling large-scale networks and the layout of this information without extensive visual clutter. In addition, classic network drawing algorithms (e.g. Fruchterman–Reingold) are not optimised for the representation of geographically fixed nodes, and the standard repertoire of cartography is not suited to mapping complex network information. To tackle these issues, a method-mediating circular layout is presented that (1) roughly preserves the geographical information, (2) allows for the drawing of less cluttered relations between the geographical entities, and (3) offers the possibility of including more information on the underlying node and edge attributes when compared to conventional two-dimensional layouts. The data used to show the capacity of the circular layout were devised by the Globalisation and World City (GaWC) research network of 2010, and represents the office networks of globalised advanced producer services firms.

Title: Chronologies of a (sub)urbanized territory: Reimagining (sub)urbanization processes in southwest Flanders, Belgium
Abstract:
Chronologies of a (Sub)urbanized Territory explores how the depth and scope of an atlas can be increased through a careful engineering of the interplay between its constituent maps. This research aims to develop a structure for an atlas that can include the plural and often very diverse historical processes affecting the territory without jeopardizing the coherence of the atlas as a whole.
Chronologies of a (Sub)urbanized Territory explores the perpetual reproduction of the heavily (sub)urbanized territory in southwest Flanders. The atlas is comprised of three diachronic map series: Frames, A Classic Chronology and Interrelations. Each series pictures the passage of time in a specific way and therefore offers a distinct ‘take' on the history of the region. Perpendicular to these three diachronic map series, synchronic readings of the territory can be composed: the variation between the three series in terms of scale, and in the categories that are displayed, enable the reader to gain a multi-angled perspective on specific spatial phenomena at delimited periods of time. The different components of the atlas, and how they interrelate, are clarified by a metamap. The metamap is not merely a top-down organizational tool, but is intended to form the basis from which the reader can start to construct his or her own interpretations of the territory.

Title: Geological map of the External Ligurian Units in western Monferrato (Tertiary Piedmont Basin, NW Italy)
Abstract:
The External Ligurian Units in western Monferrato (NW-Italy) have been always described as an undifferentiated chaotic complex. This map, at 1:10,000 scale, describes in detail the tectono-stratigraphic setting of these Units in the sector of the Alps–Apennines junction. Here, the External Ligurian Units represent the northwestern prolongation of the Northern Apennines and consist of a Late Cretaceous chaotic succession represented by the Argille varicolori and the overlaying Monte Cassio Flysch. The late Eocene–Miocene episutural succession of the Tertiary Piedmont Basin rests unconformably on the External Ligurian Units. The mapped crosscutting relationships between stratigraphic unconformities and faults allow us to describe a complex tectono-stratigraphic setting that is the product of four tectonic stages. Layer-parallel extension related to Late Cretaceous–early Eocene deformation occurred in the internal sector of the Alpine accretionary wedge and is preserved within the External Ligurian Units which is sealed by the late Eocene deposits of the Tertiary Piedmont Basin. The unconformity at the base of the Oligocene succession records the drowning of shelf sediments controlled by NW-striking left-lateral transtensive faulting. A WNW-striking and NE-verging thrust superposes the External Ligurian Units onto the late Eocene–Oligocene deposits and it is sealed by the gravitational emplacement of late Oligocene Polygenetic argillaceous breccias. Both the WNW-striking thrust and the Polygenetic argillaceous breccias are cut by NW-striking right-lateral transpressive faults that are, in turn, sealed by the Tortonian unconformity.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Dalijia Shan region, northeastern Tibetan Plateau
Abstract:
A glacial geomorphological map of the Dalijia Shan (Shan = mountain) region in the most northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau is presented here. The map covers an area of approximately 10,730 km2 at a scale of 1:600,000. A combination of remote sensing imagery is used to identify glacial landforms within the study area including: Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation models (DEMs; 90 m), Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radar (ASTER) DEMs (30 m), Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery, and Google Earth™ imagery. Two types of glacial landforms are identified and mapped: glacial valleys (including cirques in some cases) and marginal moraines. These landforms comprise approximately 1.3% of the study area, indicating more restricted past glaciation than in previously mapped areas in the central and eastern Tibetan Plateau. Glacial landforms are limited primarily to the mountainous region of the study area, largely around Dalijia Peak, lending support to a hypothesis of limited glacier and ice cap expansions in this region.

Title: Geomorphologic map of the Biferno River valley floor system (Molise, Southern Italy)
Abstract:
A 1:20,000-scale geomorphologic map of the valley floor system of the Biferno River (Molise Region, Italy) is presented in this paper. Map analysis and aerial photography interpretation, in addition to field surveys, have allowed digital mapping of fluvial landforms and associated coastal, slope and anthropogenic forms which have characterised the valley floor in different periods. Comparative multi-temporal analysis performed in a GIS for the time-period 1869–2010 allowed the reconstruction of spatial-temporal relationships between most of the mapped landforms and acquisition of quantitative data on channel adjustments. The geomorphologic map provides an overall large-scale view of major channel adjustments over the past 150 years as well as the current morphological setting and dynamics of the Biferno valley floor. It provides a basic map for land planning policy with the observed distribution of active geomorphic processes to be used for landslide and erosion susceptibility assessment and the data obtained on channel adjustments essential in investigating land cover change over the same period. As the Biferno valley floor system is characteristic of major river systems in Central-Southern Italy, the reconstructed framework of valley floor transformations turns out to be useful when assessing a representative channel evolution model and potential scenarios concerning near future dynamics of similar river systems.

Title: Surficial geology and geophysical investigations of the Capers Inlet, South Carolina (USA) 7.5-Minute Quadrangle
Abstract:
Surficial geology and geophysical investigations of the Capers Inlet, South Carolina (USA) 7.5-Minute Quadrangle is a compilation of geological and geophysical data collected in the Caper's Inlet Quadrangle, situated along the central coastline of South Carolina, USA. The 1:24,000 scale map area encompasses marine environments in the shallow nearshore and offshore (constituting approximately 80% of the study area) and terrestrial barrier island and Pleistocene upland environments (20% of the study area). The geologic map was compiled by overlaying existing topographic maps with data from high-resolution sidescan sonar, subbottom profiler, and GPR surveys supplemented with surficial sediment grabs and vibracore samples. These data were collected in 2009 and early 2010 for an MSc thesis project conducted through the Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences at the College of Charleston, South Carolina. The resulting maps illustrate the spatial variability of surficial seafloor geology in the area, with sediment distribution ranging from a coarse shell hash to fine-grained mud. The shallow stratigraphy is characterized by a thin layer of modern sediment overlying the boundary between the Quaternary and Tertiary as well as the presence of several paleochannels in the backbarrier and shallow offshore. By portraying both seafloor geology and shallow stratigraphy, maps and accompanying information provide scientists and coastal managers with a better understanding of the relationship that exists between stratigraphy, sediment distribution, and geomorphology in the area.

Title: Geomorphological study of Cephalonia Island, Ionian Sea, Western Greece
Abstract:
In this paper a geomorphological map, at a scale of 1:50,000, of the Cephalonia Island located in the Ionian Sea (western Greece) is presented and discussed. The geology of the island is represented in an individual smaller inset map. The map was produced from field surveys based upon 1:50,000 scale topographic maps and 1:5000 topographic diagrams, differential global positioning system surveys, aerial photos and visual inspection and interpretation of Google Earth images, and analysis of a digital elevation model of the island derived from 1:50,000 scale topographic maps. Landforms were grouped on the basis of the main morphogenetic processes and include fluvial landforms, erosional landforms, gravitational landforms, karst landforms, and coastal features. The objective of this map is to provide information about the landscape evolution of the island during the Quaternary. The study of the landforms depicted on the geomorphological map showed that the recent evolution of the landscape is dependent mostly on neotectonic processes and eustatism.

Title: Multi-temporal Maps of the Montaguto Earth Flow in Southern Italy from 1954 to 2010
Abstract:
Historical movement of the Montaguto earth flow in southern Italy has periodically destroyed residences and farmland, and damaged the Italian National Road SS90 and the Benevento-Foggia National Railway. This paper provides maps from an investigation into the evolution of the Montaguto earth flow from 1954 to 2010. We used aerial photos, topographic maps, LiDAR data, satellite images, and field observations to produce multi-temporal maps. The maps show the spatial and temporal distribution of back-tilted surfaces, flank ridges, and normal, thrust, and strike-slip faults. Springs, creeks, and ponds are also shown on the maps. The maps provide a basis for interpreting how basal and lateral boundary geometries influence earth-flow behavior and surface-water hydrology.

Title: Integrating land surface conditions and transport networks to quantify the spatial accessibility of cities in China
Abstract:
Although there is a need to determine the spatial accessibility of cities in China, the limitations in available data and methods hinder research in this area. The main objective of this study was to quantify the accessibility of cities in China. We developed a comprehensive analytical method to quantify spatial accessibility at a spatial resolution of one kilometer by integrating both land surface conditions and transport networks. The results show that the spatial patterns of accessibility of Chinese cities at the prefecture level and above are characterized by significant spatial heterogeneity, consistent with the patterns in physical geography, population density, and economic activities. The results improve our understanding of deficiencies in the accessibility of cities in China and provide a foundation for transportation infrastructure planning.

Title: Barapa Country through Barapa eyes: cultural mapping of Gunbower Island, Australia
Abstract:
The Gunbower Yemurriki Map details important information about Barapa Country and Barapa people for the purpose of education. The Barapa are the Traditional Owners of the lands north and south of the Murray River around Cohuna, Australia and are working with natural resource agencies to identify and map cultural assets on traditional lands, particularly in relation to water resources. The Gunbower Yemurriki Map has been developed through participatory cultural mapping processes to demonstrate the community connection to water and the wider cultural landscape. Yemurriki is the Barapa word for Country. The map developed and presented in this study will be used to educate the local non-indigenous community about Barapa cultural values and to act as a teaching aid for younger Barapa people. The map depicts stories, totems, and places identified within the landscape. All the information included is what the Barapa consider public and educational.

Title: Site selection for Croatian low and intermediate level radioactive waste repository
Abstract:
Radioactive waste disposal and management presents a unique problem at the Krško nuclear power plant as it is built and co-owned by the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia. Each country is responsible for the management of half of the low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste (LILW) and spent nuclear fuel (SNF). So far, Slovenia has officially selected the site for LILW disposal and the Croatian programme has a single location left (since 1999), not officially approved as acceptable. This paper contains a new approach to site selection related to the implementation of GIS technology and presents a map of potential areas for LILW disposal including only the remaining Croatian location. It was constructed based on eleven layers that include natural characteristics and anthropogenic pressures. For the construction of the main map, detailed topological checks and spatial analysis of polygons have been made, reducing potential areas to be further evaluated.

Title: Temporality of urban space: daily rhythms of a typical week day in the Prague metropolitan area
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to reveal, describe, explain, and map variations in diurnal population in the metropolitan area of Prague. We use an alternative data source to traditional census-based cartographic presentations and employ location data from mobile phones to identify types of daily rhythm that shape the region at different times during a typical weekday. These rhythms are influenced especially by residential and commercial suburbanization and the consequent dynamic development of new working centres, services, and leisure-time facilities within the metropolitan region. The main output consists of three maps. The first map contains a typology of the main functions – residential, work, transportation, and services – and is used as the main analytical tool for sorting settlements, resulting in classification of nine types of settlement in all. The other two maps show a plastic image of the day- and night-time populations of the metropolitan area.

Title: Mining bus travel card data for analysing mobilities in tourist regions
Abstract:
Mobilities that take place in coastal tourist regions are not regular in time nor in space, since the arrival of tourists follows a distinctly seasonal pattern. A key agent in the mobility sector, such as the public transport, is directly affected by these alterations. This article aims at analysing this phenomenon from a geographical perspective, by means of the use of big (geo)data generated by travel cards that monitor the demand for interurban public transport in the region of Camp de Tarragona, in south Catalonia. The maps presented in this article constitute a first attempt to appraise the impact of seasonality of tourist activities on public transport demand in coastal tourist regions. They allow detailing large spatiotemporal fluctuations in the use of public transport between winter and summer periods, and also significant differences in daily time slots between both periods. The results are from interest to understand the mobilities in tourist regions and for agents involved in public transport provision and tourism management.

Title: Topographic and thematic (in)visibility of Small Island Developing States in a world map
Abstract:
Many world maps visualize global data to represent the statistical and spatial relationships among countries. These maps are typically printed in reports or displayed online at a small scale. At such scale, small nations are difficult to perceive or even disappear, as is often the case for Small Island Developing States (SIDS), a group of more than fifty island states designated by the United Nations for their social, economic and environmental vulnerabilities. While the United Nations aims to address the social, economic and environmental challenges world-wide through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SIDS can be missing from maps presenting SDG indicator data. This constitutes five percent of the world population missing from maps. We propose maps and visual representations to address the perceptibility of SIDS and the availability of their indicator data to offer a more complete visualization of the status towards achieving the SDGs.

Title: The contiguous United States in eleven zip codes: identifying and mapping socio-economic census data clusters and exemplars using affinity propagation
Abstract:
The United States is a diverse and heterogeneous place. Accurately organizing and mapping the U.S. into different regions based on characteristics such as wealth, race, education, language, and occupation is a complicated and arduous task. This paper demonstrates the application of affinity propagation to map socio-economic patterns and identify representative exemplars. Affinity propagation clusters data based on representative exemplars and considers all data points as potential cluster exemplars. We use socio-economic data from the United States census to cluster zip codes tabulation areas and identify representative locations of socio-economic diversity of the United States. The 11 socio-economic clusters were mapped individually and together using area-based generalization. Mapping the results illustrated distinct regionalization and historical migration trends within the United States as well as national urban/suburban/rural patterns. Future applications of this technique may be useful for data-driven socio-economic analysis and purposive sampling.

Title: Interactive display of surnames distributions in historic and contemporary Great Britain
Abstract:
We introduce a method to calculate and store approximately 1.2 million surname distributions calculated for surnames found in Great Britain for six years of historic population data and 20 years of contemporary population registers compiled from various consumer sources. We subsequently show how this database can be incorporated into an interactive web-environment specifically designed for the public dissemination of detailed surname statistics. Additionally, we argue that the database can be used in the quantitative analysis of surnames in Great Britain and potentially offer valuable insights into processes of contagious and hierarchical diffusion of populations as well as the regional distinctiveness of demographic change and stasis.

Title: Spatial visualization of quantitative landscape changes in an industrial region between 1827 and 1883. Case study Katowice, southern Poland
Abstract:
The aim of the study is to present landscape changes in the nineteenth century in the central part of the Upper Silesian Industrial District, which is the municipality of Katowice (southern Poland). The comparison of changes, particularly components of the geographical environment, is based on two time periods – the year 1827 and 1883. Nineteenth-century maps were georeferenced, digitized and a series of thematic spatial visualizations presenting quantitative changes were generated by means of the Geographic Information System (GIS). The scale of the visualization created is 1:100,000 and the area is 16,400 ha. The spatial visualization of quantitative landscape change shows the development of the anthropogenic pressure in the form of settlement areas, raw materials extraction places, roads, and the decrease of natural environments, such as forests, rivers, and water bodies. These changes were caused mainly by the exploration of underground deposits and the rapidly growing population of Upper Silesia.

Title: UAV-based remote sensing of immediate changes in geomorphology following a glacial lake outburst flood at the Zackenberg river, northeast Greenland
Abstract:
Two detailed geomorphological maps (1:2000) depicting landscape changes as a result of a glacial lake outburst flood were produced for the 2.1-km-long section of the Zackenberg river, NE Greenland. The maps document the riverscape before the flood (5 August 2017) and immediately after the flood (8 August 2017), illustrating changes to the riverbanks and morphology of the channel. A series of additional maps (1:800) represent case studies of different types of riverbank responses, emphasising the importance of the lateral thermo-erosion and bank collapsing as significant immediate effects of the flood. The average channel width increased from 40.75 m pre-flood to 44.59 m post-flood, whereas the length of active riverbanks decreased from 1729 to 1657 m. The new deposits related to 2017 flood covered 93,702 m2. The developed maps demonstrated the applicability of small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for investigating the direct effects of floods, even in the harsh Arctic environment.

Title: Geospatial analysis of neighborhood deprivation index (NDI) for the United States by county
Abstract:
Little is known about the spatial clustering of neighborhood deprivation across the United States (US). Using data from the 2010 US Census Bureau, we created a neighborhood deprivation index (NDI: higher NDI indicates higher deprivation/ lower neighborhood socioeconomic status) for each county within the US County level scores were loaded into ArcGIS 10.5.1 where they were mapped and analyzed using Moran’s I and Anselin Local Moran’s I. Ultimately, NDI varies spatially across the US. The highest NDI scores were found in the Southeastern and Southwestern US states, and inland regions of Southern California. This information is critical for public health initiative development as planners may need to tailor the scale of their efforts based on the higher NDI neighborhoods of the county or geographic region with potentially greater chronic disease burden.

Title: Land consumption in Italy
Abstract:
This paper illustrates a land consumption map for Italy (year 2017) at a scale 1:1,300,000, and the assessment of its changes (2012–2017). We define land consumption as the replacement of a non-artificial land cover to an artificial land cover, both permanent and no-permanent. The maps are a 10 m spatial resolution raster, produced by photointerpretation of very high resolution images and semiautomatic classification of high resolution remote sensing images. An overall accuracy of 97.7% for the map of 2012 and of 99.66% for the map of 2017 was obtained. The results suggest that the method proposed is appropriate to detect land consumption, both for the urban densification and for the sprawling phenomena, from national to local level. Furthermore, because of the high spatial resolution and the classification scheme adopted, it is suitable for an effective monitoring system, compared to other existing classification systems or monitoring programs.

Title: War- and famine-related excess mortality among civilians in the Netherlands, 1944–1945
Abstract:
National estimates exist for war- and famine-related deaths in the Netherlands during the last stages of World War II, but no such estimates are available at the local level. To fill this information gap, this article aims at mapping and visualizing the timing of war- and famine-related excess mortality by municipality among the civilian population within the Netherlands. We use mortality statistics at the level of municipalities because these are the smallest administrative units for which this information is available. We use a seasonally adjusted mortality model combined with a difference-in-difference approach to estimate the number of excess deaths in the period between January 1944 and July 1945 separately for each Dutch municipality.

Title: Railway network of Galicia and Austrian Silesia (1847-1914)
Abstract:
We describe and share reconstructed data of the historical railway network of Galicia and Austrian Silesia – two regions of the Habsburg Empire that covered more than 80 000 km2 that are currently divided among Czechia, Poland and Ukraine. The network dataset includes the times of railway appearance and of the most dynamic development until 1914, which marked the outbreak of the First World War. Most of the lines were reconstructed based on OpenStreetMap data, and the lines, which were closed down between 1914 and 2019 and are no longer available in spatial datasets, were reconstructed based on high-resolution satellite imagery and historical maps. Altogether, the network dataset covers nearly 5000 km on 127 lines. The data are accompanied by a set of attributes, i.e. the year of construction, length, starting point, finish point, and type (normal, narrow-gauge, etc.), and are available for download in the shp format.

Title: Residential care in California
Abstract:
We examine the distribution of residential care in California, showing geographical disparities in care supply and need. We mapped the ratio of beds to older women in Los Angeles and San Diego County census tracts and concentrations of small and large facilities in the Cities of Los Angeles and San Diego. The largest ratios of residential care beds per older women occur on the border of the City of San Diego and on the periphery of Los Angeles County away from the City of Los Angeles. Clusters of small facilities take place in northern Los Angeles and southeastern San Diego, while clusters of large facilities occur in Downtown Los Angeles and near La Jolla. Understanding geographical disparities in residential care supply and need in California can help residential care developers, service providers, and local and state agencies partner in planning for residential care facility development in underserved areas.

Title: Epidemics and pandemics in maps – the case of COVID-19
Abstract:
Epidemics and pandemics are geographical in nature and constitute spatial, temporal, and thematic phenomena across large ranges of scales: local infections with a global spread; short-term decisions by governments and institutions with long-term effects; and diverse effects of the disease on many aspects of our lives. Pandemics pose particular challenges to their visual representation by cartographic means. This article briefly summarizes some of these challenges and outlines ways to approach these. We discuss how to use the information usually available for telling the story of an epidemic, illustrated by the example of the 2019–2020 COVID-19 pandemic. The maps attached to this article demonstrate the discussed cartographic means.

Title: Spatio-temporal mobility and Twitter: 3D visualisation of mobility flows
Abstract:
Recent progress in computation and the spatio-temporal richness of data obtained from new sources have invigorated Time Geography. It is now possible to visualise and represent movements of people in a dual spatial–temporal dimension. In this work, we use geo-located data from the social media platform Twitter to show the value of new data sources for Time Geography. The methodology consists of visualising space–time paths in 2D and 3D in four study zones, with different land-use profiles, based on tweets compiled over the course of two years. The results provide a view of behaviours occurring in the areas of study throughout the day, with complementary data to show the population's main activity at different times.

Title: Translating sociocultural transformations into historical maps on land use changes: the case of Lafkenmapu (Araucanía, Chile)
Abstract:
While it is widely known that socio-cultural transformations have a spatial impact on geographical areas, limited attention has been paid to mapping such transformations. This paper aims to explore how historical maps of land-use changes can be excellent tools for this purpose. The Lafkenmapu area in Chile, which has undergone critical socio-cultural transformations over the last five centuries, served as a case study. A total of five historical periods were described and translated into land-use change maps (pre-Hispanic; colonial; post-colonial; state consolidation; present). Non-cartographic (e.g. historical chronicles and publications) and cartographic sources (historical maps, aerial photography and satellite images) were integrated for each period to create a timeline map. Finally, some concluding remarks discuss the added value of the maps as a tool for a better understanding of the impact of socio-cultural transformations on land use and population distribution.

Title: New urban geographies of West Bengal, East India
Abstract:
This article is part of a larger research project on new urban geographies in India. Between the population censuses of 2001 and 2011, India witnessed a record increase of 2,532 new Census Towns, small settlements that meet the country's criteria to be considered ‘urban’. This steep increase is intricately linked with decreases in agricultural jobs, but we know very little about the spatiality of these urban geographies, alternative local employment, or the nature of the local economies of Census Towns. Based on a tailored geodatabase, our Main Map visualizes the geography of these heretofore uncharted Census Towns in the state of West Bengal. We then draw on reconnaissance fieldwork to zoom in on a cluster of Census Towns in central Bengal where we find evidence of urban growth that appears linked to road infrastructure, what we described in earlier conceptual work as “emergent highway urbanization”. The Main Map and reconnaissance fieldwork contribute to a better, albeit early-stage, understanding of the rapidly changing spatiality of contemporary urbanization in this region.

Title: Street walking quality of the ‘Centro’ district, Madrid
Abstract:
Walking provides a number of health, social and environmental benefits for urban sustainability, which is why it has become attractive from the perspective of sustainable transport planning. The concept of walkability is related with the built environment and land use to facilitate walking to activities in an area. The aim of this work is to provide a set of street walking quality maps for the ‘Centro’ district in Madrid (Spain), covering four categories of walking needs: attractiveness, comfort, safety and accessibility. They classify the streets from least to most walkable in relation to each other. The maps are built using 21 urban environmental factors selected from the literature. The values for each factor are computed in each street from open access databases and combined following the PROMETHEE II method function in order to assign a street value for each of the four classes of walking needs.

Title: A tourist map of Xi’an: combining historical city characteristics with art
Abstract:
The design of tourist maps of historical cities sometimes fails to balance functionality and artistry or does not fully reflect cities’ cultural connotations. In this paper, we select Xi'an, China, as a study case and design a tourist map through a spatial narrative to reflect its artistic characteristics in the layout design, color design and symbol design. A few operational suggestions are proposed for improving functionality and artistry in tourist mapping, including variable scales, topological optimization, hand-painted symbols and colors extracted from the architecture of the city.

Title: Mapping topo-ambivalent places for the purposes of strategic planning of urban space. The case of Šternberk, the Czech Republic
Abstract:
A comprehensive understanding of the assessment of an urban space by its residents is viewed as one of the most in demand approaches within the endogenous strategies of urban space planning. As a rule, this process only leads to the identification of topophilic or topophobic places. What is lacking is the identification and interpretation of places that may contain both topophobic and topophilic meanings. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to explore, analyse, and compare ambivalently perceived places within an urban environment. Methodologically, the paper stems from the perception of space. More specifically, the phenomenon of mental maps is elaborated on. The analysis proves the ambivalent perception of selected places in the town under study (Šternberk, the Czech Republic), which points, to the complexity of human perception that characterises each community. Two synthetic maps based on four follow-up methodical procedures are provided, accompanied by two analytical maps.

Title: Structural geology of Ganymede regional groove systems (60°N–60°S)
Abstract:
Brittle deformation on Ganymede surface is represented by grooves tectonic linear landforms. These are regional scale structures that show well-defined morphology from straight to curvilinear. High density of grooves occupies most of the light terrain of the satellite, the grooved terrain. We map grooves on the USGS Voyager and Galileo Mosaic of Ganymede in order to unravel their spatial distribution and tectonic setting. A total of 14,707 grooves were identified, digitized and statistically analysed. A quantitative structural geology approach was used to classify grooves, by considering their azimuth and regional rotation. This procedure allowed to recognize a total of four groove families, named the NE, WNW, NW, and N-S super-systems. The presented structural map represents a tool to study the stress conditions associated with the groove formation and evolution. This map also aims to contribute to the scientific preparation of the upcoming missions and future exploration of Ganymede.

Title: Geological Sheet Tehuacán 14Q-i-(10), Puebla and Oaxaca states, southern Mexico
Abstract:
This work offers a large-scale approach to the stratigraphy of an area in southern Mexico that includes three different tectono-stratigraphic terranes and displays a great geological diversity. In the attached 1:100,000-scale geological map, the stratigraphic information is grouped according to the occurrence in sedimentary basins. Here, we describe the basement and six basins in turn. In four of the sedimentary basins, thick Mesozoic successions that accumulated on the basement record the evolution from a continental environment during the Triassic–Jurassic, to a marine environment, comprising clastic and calcareous deposits, during the early Cretaceous. Cenozoic ages are recorded in clastic and lacustrine sedimentary successions and in abundant igneous rocks in two of the continental basins. The geodatabase was compiled in GIS format and subsequently imported in vector graphic software to achieve a design similar to the cartographic series 1:100,000 CARTA GEOLÓGICA DE MÉXICO of the Instituto de Geología, UNAM.

Title: Ecosystems in Slovakia
Abstract:
The authors have prepared a detailed map of Slovakia’s ecosystems, which identifies individual ecosystems and their spatial distribution, status, and selected properties. The impetus for the production of this map is the need of various stakeholders, especially nature protection bodies, forestry management, agricultural management and public administration, for better data on the distribution of ecosystems. The methodology mostly involves using GIS analytical tools to combine datasets on nature protection, forestry, and agriculture which list attributes related to habitat identification. The results can be used for ecosystem services assessment, spatial planning, nature protection analysis, and other related purposes. The spatial precision of the data is determined by that of the field data, which was mostly created at scales between 1:10000 and 1:5000. The data are stored in the form of a geodatabase containing more than 1,000,000 polygons.

Title: Soil rooting depth of Italy
Abstract:
Soils perform several functions in delivering ecosystem services and soil thematic maps are useful for environmental modelling, landscape planning, and management optimization. This study aimed at producing the first soil rooting depth map of Italy at 1:250,000 scale based on the legacy soil maps, soil data and benchmark profiles, combined with the auxiliary data. The map highlights that moderately deep (33%) and deep (25%) soils are predominant and mainly distributed in hilly areas, while very deep soils (18%) are prevalent in the fluvial and coastal plains. The validation procedure showed that 87% of the soil rooting depth map classes fall within the same and adjacent classes of the measured soil profiles database. The soil rooting depth map of Italy at 1:250,000 scale can be a useful tool to support land management and spatial planning in terms of agro-environmental measures, making reliable assessments for ecological sustainability studies, and for environmental territorial analyses.

Title: Geo-LiM: a new geo-lithological map for Central Europe (Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, and Northern Italy) as a tool for the estimation of atmospheric CO2 consumption
Abstract:
We present a new geo-lithological map for Central Europe (Geo-LiM). It was prepared taking into account the chemical and mineralogical composition of the outcropping rocks and paying attention in discriminating metamorphic rocks, that were classified according to the chemistry of protoliths. The map was used for estimating the atmospheric CO2 consumed by the chemical weathering of silicates and carbonates. The map is made available in vector format [Donnini et al,. 2018. A new Geo-Lithological Map (Geo-LiM) for Central Europe (Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, and Northern Italy) (Version 1.2) [Data set]. Zenodo Retrieved from https://zenodo.org/record/3530257], together with the computer code used to classify the lithologies and to join original maps. As a consequence, researchers can either replicate the product, or alter the code to derive a different lithological classification of the original geological maps, following the concept of Open Science.

Title: Geomorphology of Horseshoe Island, Marguerite Bay, Antarctica
Abstract:
Here, a geomorphological map of Horseshoe Island, which is one of the most ice-free islands in Marguerite Bay of the Antarctic Peninsula, is provided. The landforms on the island were mapped by using Google Earth images. Field reconnaissance of the landforms was carried out in March 2018. The island is subdivided into three major geomorphologically different sectors. The northern sector is mostly covered by a remnant of a non-erosive ice cap and has limited glacial landforms and deposits. The central sector is rich in terms of glacial and periglacial landforms and deposits. Glaciers are still sculpting the southern sector and it has extensive features of glacial erosion and deposition. The most common landforms on the island are talus cones, moraines, patterned ground, and raised beaches. The geomorphological map of the island will be a useful base for further geomorphic and/or glaciologic research in this climate-sensitive region.

Title: The key role of hazard indices and hotspot in disaster risk management: the case study of Napoli and Pozzuoli municipalities (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
In the last years, metropolitan areas are more and more exposed to natural risks often intensified by the effects of climatic changes. Clear and complete information about hazards impending on the territory is indispensable for local authorities to define efficient territorial management strategies focused on the risk reduction. A flexible hazard tool which works at different scale and with several sources of hazard is here proposed. We drew maps of monothematic and synthetic indices to describe the hazard status of metropolitan areas. A hazard hotspot map was also elaborated to identify both the areas with high hazard for the single dangerous event and the areas characterized by the concomitance of several hazards. We computed hazard indices for Napoli and Pozzuoli, a densely populated area, located in the Somma-Vesuvio and Campi Flegrei multi-source volcanic zone and also exposed to landslide, flood and coastal erosion hazard.

Title: Geology of the Susa Shear Zone (Susa Valley, Western Alps)
Abstract:
The 1:10,000 scale geological map of the Susa Shear Zone (SSZ) in the inner sector of the Western Alps, aims to describe the geological setting and tectonic evolution of a first-order Alpine shear zone, which drove exhumation and juxtaposition of different oceanic and continental margin units (i.e. the blueschist-facies External Piedmont Zone in its hanging wall and the eclogite-facies Internal Piedmont Zone and Dora Maira Massif in its footwall). The SSZ corresponds to a tectonic mélange showing a block-in-matrix structure, wherein mylonitic calcschists embed blocks of different rock units. Geological mapping and structural analysis investigated overprinting relationships among shear planes and structures related to different deformation phases: they show that the SSZ evolved through two tectonic events, during which apparent reverse top-to-E shear planes were superposed by extensional top-to-W ones.

Title: The Eocene-Oligocene Nanchititla dike swarm, eastern Michoacán, México
Abstract:
We present a geologic map for the Eocene-Oligocene Nanchititla mafic dike swarm consisting of over 140 NNW-SSE trending dike segments; whose emplacement was influenced by the left-lateral transtensional deformation regime prevailing in southern México during the Cenozoic. The hosting rock is a mechanically heterogeneous continental sedimentary sequence interbedded with volcanic rocks. Interaction among magma and host rock promoted the formation of dike-sill systems, segmentation and sinuous intrusions. Dike thickness observed is between 1 and 45 m with a peak in the range from 1 to 5 m. Six giant dikes of more than 30 m thick were documented. The 80% of the dikes have porphyritic textures rich in plagioclase phenocrysts with size ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 cm. New and compiled 40Ar-39Ar ages constrain the swarm emplacement between 30 and 34.5 Ma, whereas plagioclase phenocrysts entrained by the magma have older ages between 35 and 42 Ma.

Title: Geology of the Gobi and Mongol Altai junction enhanced by gravity analysis: a key for understanding of the Mongolian Altaides
Abstract:
The geological map L-47-V at a scale 1:500,000 covers part of Mongolian Altaids with ophiolite fragments in southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt in SW Mongolia. This region has a basin and range topography with Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic units exposed at NW–SE trending ranges rising along major intracontinental faults and with intermontane basins filled by Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments in between. The map shows clear N–S tectonic zonation featuring the northerly Precambrian Baidrag microcontinent, the lower Palaeozoic Lake Zone in the centre and the southerly Palaeozoic Gobi-Altai and Trans-Altai zones. Gravity highs are located in the SW part of the map and low to intermediate Bouguer anomalies in the NE part. NW–SE trends of gravity anomalies correlate well with the contact between the Trans-Altai and the Gobi-Altai zones but the important first-order geological boundary between the Lake and Gobi-Altai zones cannot be delineated by the gravity gradients.

Title: Litho-sedimentological and morphodynamic characterization of the Pisa Province coastal area (northern Tuscany, Italy)
Abstract:
In this paper litho-sedimentological and morphodynamic maps of the coastal sector belonging to the Pisa Province are presented as an example of how increasing the accessibility to data on lithology, sedimentology, and morphodynamics may lead to a better approach to coastal management. The database used to build the maps includes an original rendering of remote sensing data (aerial imagery) and new field data (geologic survey), as well as data retrieved from the scientific literature (grain-size and past coastline positions). The maps show that the geometry of beach ridges is an indication of the evolution of the Arno River delta in the last 3000 years, highlighting the relationships between geological aspects and morphodynamic features. The maps represent the synthesis of different data available in the database, and they may be a useful support to coastal management as they are more easily understandable and straightforward than the database from which are created.

Title: Geoarchaeology and geomorphology of the Metaponto area, Ionian coastal belt, Italy
Abstract:
A 1:28,000-scale geoarchaeological map has been prepared for a large sector of the Ionian coastal belt of the Basilicata region, southern Italy, in order to investigate the relationships between the spatial distribution of archaeological sites of Greek settlement of Metapontum and the main landforms of this sector of the Bradano Foredeep. Archaeological investigation consists of an examination and a re-organisation of published data and new field surveys, which has allowed us to infer the relationships between landform elements and spatial distribution of about 1400 archaeological remnants of the Greek colony of Metapontum. Our results highlight a non-random distribution of the archaeological evidence and the strong influence of geomorphological features and processes on the settlement pattern.

Title: Geological and geomorphological analysis of a complex landslides system: the case of San Martino sulla Marruccina (Abruzzo, Central Italy)
Abstract:
This work deals with the landslides affecting the area surrounding the village of San Martino sulla Marrucina and involving the neighboring municipalities of Casacanditella and Filetto. The geological and geomorphological settings of this area are being discussed. The enclosed maps have been realized following a multidisciplinary approach, based on morphometric, geological, and geomorphological analyses and supported by air-photo interpretation, dendrochronology, and satellite SAR interferometry (InSAR). The map is organized in four sections: orography (on the upper part), geological map (on the upper right part), main geomorphological map (in the central left part, 1:7,500 scale), and multitemporal analysis (in the lower part). The aforementioned multi-temporal assessment of landslides was performed according to the geomorphological evidence-based criteria and the past ground displacement measurements were obtained by dendrochronology and InSAR. The aim of the study is to understand the evolution in time and space of this landslide area, focusing on the corresponding kinematics.

Title: Volcanic evolution of the Somma-Vesuvius Complex (Italy)
Abstract:
A volcanological map of the active Somma-Vesuvius volcano is presented at the 1:20,000 scale. The map is based on 1:5000 field mapping carried out during the Italian CARG project. Geological data are represented on a digital terrain model of the volcano. This allows a better visualisation of the main morphological, volcanic, and geological features. The legend is organised in four different panels, which depict the activity of the volcano and caldera development. The geological survey is based on recognition and description of lithostratigraphic units. The geological map highlights the volcanic evolution of the Somma-Vesuvius volcano, and it is propaedeutic for further studies aimed at improving the scientific knowledge and the volcanic hazard assessment of this world-famous volcano.

Title: Estimation of the drought sensitivity of Hungarian soils based on corn yield responses
Abstract:
During our soil-specific drought sensitivity research, an aim of ours was to ascertain how drought, a stress factor caused by the lack of precipitation, affects soil fertility. We used the five-year-long (1985–1989) soil and corn yield data of the National Pedological and Crop Production Database (NPCPD). We assigned the annual Pálfai Drought Index (PaDI) to the annual corn yield data of the NPCPD in order to identify drought-free corn yields and production areas. We determined the drought sensitivity of soils by comparing drought-free and annual yields. Based on the results of our statistical analyses, we created a seven-point drought sensitivity scale of soil types, based on which we produced a national soil-specific drought sensitivity index map. Our results may provide a good starting point for constructing large-scale (1: 10,000) climate sensitivity soil maps of agricultural lands, which can assist with soil-specific crop production that also adapts to climate change.

Title: Snow avalanche susceptibility of the Circo de Gredos (Iberian Central System, Spain)
Abstract:
We present a detailed snow avalanche susceptibility map at scale 1:20,000 of the Circo de Gredos in the Sierra de Gredos (Iberian Central System, Spain). This cirque-shaped landscape is one of the most popular spots for winter sports in the region. However, no snow avalanche activity assessment has been conducted to date. We have, therefore, produced a snow avalanche susceptibility map based on aerial and satellite imagery, newspaper reviews and field work, including avalanche features recognition and interviews with frequent backcountry users. We extracted the spatial distribution of necessary and enhancer factors for triggering slab, wet and loose snow avalanches from a digital elevation model. Finally, calculations to evaluate each snow avalanche type susceptibility were performed using a Geographical Information System. By combining our map collection, we concluded that most of the area in the Circo de Gredos is highly susceptible to snow avalanches, especially slab and wet snow types.

Title: Geomorphology and substrate of Galway Bay, Western Ireland
Abstract:
A combination of multibeam bathymetry and backscatter, LiDAR altimetry and bathymetry, satellite images, and hydrodynamic model outputs were used to map the seafloor and coastline of Galway Bay (western Ireland). This is the first time these multiple datasets have been integrated into a single combined geomorphological and substrate map. The substrate of the bay is predominantly mud and sand with bedrock outcropping extensively around the coastline. The main depositional features are dunes, while the main erosional features are scours and outcropping bedrock. Hydrodynamic model outputs show good correlation between the direction and intensity of prevailing currents and the location and shape of the features in the bay. This indicates that although Galway Bay was shaped glacially through the passage of the British-Irish Ice Sheet across the bay and ensuing glacial and marine sediment deposition, many of the mapped seafloor landforms are modern and current-induced.

Title: The Floodplain Woods of Tuscany
Abstract:
The contraction of lowland forests throughout Europe began in remote times and then intensified strongly with land reclamation by agriculture and urbanization during the first half of the last century. We present a map of the Floodplain Woods of Tuscany on a scale of 1:300,000 as a synthesis of that built at the scale of 1:10,000 and the methods used to obtain it. Nearly 90% of the patches contain habitats of concern to conservation, according to the Habitat Directive. The Tuscan Floodplain Woods remained prevalent in coastal areas, where some levels of protection are guaranteed by the presence of several protected areas, whereas they have practically vanished in the other parts of the regional territory. The resulting patches are very small and distant from each other, so only in-depth management of all potential floodplain forest areas, taking into consideration patches for their regeneration, can be useful to assure their conservation.

Title: Geomorphology of the Jebel Qara and coastal plain of Salalah (Dhofar, southern Sultanate of Oman)
Abstract:
We present the results of the geomorphological mapping of a region of the Dhofar (Sultanate of Oman) including two contrasting physiographic units sharing a common drainage system into the Arabian Sea: the Jebel Qara limestone massif and the coastal plain of Salalah. Neogene to Quaternary tectonic activity controlled the formation of an extensive system of faults and caused the uplift of the Jebel Qara, forming structural escarpments. The massif underwent karstification and subsequent linear erosion. Today the Jebel is cut by a dendritic net of dry valleys, occasionally dammed by calcareous tufa dams. The transition between the southern escarpment of the Jebel and the plain below displays flat alluvial fans, bordered by a strip of beachrock, coastal dunes, and coastal lagoons, located in correspondence to estuaries. Dramatic soil erosion is evident, linked to intense human-triggered zoogeomorphological processes started in the Mid-Late Holocene after the introduction of pastoral land-use.

Title: Geology of the southern Mesa Central of Mexico: recording the beginning of a polymodal fault system
Abstract:
The Mesa Central (MC) of Mexico presents a noticeable feature as is the three-dimensional (3D) deformation of Cenozoic volcanic rocks. To figure out when this unusual deformation began, we constructed a geological map at 1:100,000 scale, with detailed stratigraphy, and thirteen new U-Pb ages in the southern MC. The mapped area is dominated by silicic volcanic rocks with ages from ca. 34.4 Ma to ca. 23.5 Ma affected by coeval normal faulting. An angular unconformity evidences a shift in the deformation style that occurred around 30 Ma, from an NW-trending fault system in domino-style to a polymodal fault system, which also temporally coincided with the emplacement of lava dome complexes. The structural and stratigraphic data give new insight for understanding how the polymodal fault system developed in the southern MC, suggesting that the change in the deformation and volcanism regime played an important role.

Title: Multi-temporal mapping of the Upper Rhone Valley (Valais, Switzerland): fluvial landscape changes at the end of the Little Ice Age (18th–19th centuries)
Abstract:
The Upper Rhone Valley (Valais, Switzerland) has been heavily modified over the past 200 years by human activity and natural processes. A qualitative analysis of the morphological and land-use evolution of the Rhone River floodplain since the end of the eighteenth century was carried out using historical maps from 1780 to 1860 processed with Structure-from-Motion (SfM) and Geographical Information System (GIS) tools. This study aims to produce a long-term analysis of river management and land-use change in a stretch of the Upper Rhone Valley around the town of Sion based on a time series of maps, realised in the years 1780–1802, 1820–1845, 1847, 1850s, 1852–1857, 1859–1860. The historical maps were digitised, and for each of the corresponding periods, a map was produced within a GIS. The comparison of the maps was completed by using documentary sources or subsequent studies. With the intention to identify the fluvial landscape changes and past river management, six multitemporal maps were produced. Finally, this research aims to provide helpful diachronic information for planning a future sustainable landscape development in Valais.

Title: Geomorphological analysis of drainage changes in the NE Apennines piedmont area: the case of the middle Tavo River bend (Abruzzo, Central Italy)
Abstract:
This work presents a tectonic geomorphology analysis of a river bend in the middle Tavo River valley, in the piedmont area of the NE Apennines (Abruzzo Region), between the eastern slope of the chain (Gran Sasso Massif) and the Adriatic coast. The main map (1:15,000 scale) was obtained through a morphometric, geological, and geomorphological analysis, and was composed of four sections including orography and hydrography at basin scale, main map at local scale, geomorphological cross-section and longitudinal profiles, and morphoneotectonic analysis. This study provides a basis for the recognition of morphostructural and morphotectonic features that control the drainage evolution of the Tavo River. Specifically, the study is focused on the Tavo-Saline basin characterized by possible capture processes, and the evolution of the watershed with the Pescara basin. The results from this study can contribute to the understanding of the evolution of the NE Apennines piedmont area since the Middle Pleistocene.

Title: Southwest extension of dextral transpression along the Burnsville fault into the Clyde 7.5-minute quadrangle, western North Carolina, USA
Abstract:
The Neoacadian Burnsville fault is a dextral transpressional structure exposed in western North Carolina. Bedrock geologic mapping in the Clyde 7.5-minute quadrangle documents the fault an additional ∼40 km southwest than previously mapped. Here it overprints the contact between the Ashe Metamorphic Suite (AMS) and Grenville basement and a portion of the Hayesville fault, both older Taconic structures. Neoacadian deformation was partitioned onto these pre-existing structures. The Burnsville fault intersects faults previously interpreted as the younger Alleghanian Fries and Chattahoochee faults. These do not offset the Burnsville fault here suggesting that they are Taconic and not the Fries and Chattahoochee faults. Our results suggest: (1) Grenville basement was thrust over the Cartoogechaye terrane, (2) the AMS was thrust over both by the Holland Mountain thrust, (3) all were then thrust over the Great Smoky Group by the Hayesville fault, and (4) these structures were later overprinted by Neoacadian dextral shear.

Title: Growth and dissection of a fold and thrust belt: the geological record of the High Agri Valley, Italy
Abstract:
We present a 130 km2 wide geological map for the NE side of the fault-bounded High Agri Valley Southern Italy, that formed in the Quaternary in response to extensional tectonics dissecting the folds and thrusts of the Lucanian Apennine. To prepare the map, at 1:25,000 scale, we integrated information obtained through field surveys and the review of pre-existing geological data. Our work describes a number of significant map-scale structures, which can be related to well-constrained tectonic episodes. The new geological map provides important constraints that can be used to distinguish ancient structures from those that were active during the Quaternary, allowing a more detailed reconstruction of the processes that operate during the development of a post-orogenic trough. We expect that the new map will be used for different types of geological investigations, including studies of inversion tectonics, active tectonics, geosite mapping, 3D modelling of geological structures.

Title: Surficial geology of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Michigan, USA
Abstract:
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan along the southern shore of Lake Superior. The park spans approximately 300 km2 and is almost fully incorporated within the ten 7.5-minute quadrangles presented in this new, detailed surficial geology map. The western quadrangles are mainly characterized by thin accumulations of undifferentiated Quaternary sediment above shallow bedrock while the eastern quadrangles mostly show thick accumulations of various glacial outwash units. This map was produced by integrating field data with a high-resolution LiDAR digital elevation model and associated hillshade, aerial imagery, and passive seismic data. The high-resolution elevation information was essential to differentiate between outwash units, post-glacial sand accumulations, and interpreting subtle glacial features that would have otherwise remained unrecognized. This new map provides fundamental information to help decipher the glacial history of this region to enhance our understanding of how this popular landscape developed.

Title: Hydrogeology of the western Po plain (Piedmont, NW Italy)
Abstract:
This paper describes the hydrogeological map of the western Po Plain, located in Piedmont (north-western Italy). Po plain represents a hydrogeological system of European relevance, and the Piedmont Plain is the most important groundwater reservoir of the Region. The 1:300,000 scale map was realised using previous and new data to update the knowledge of this area. The map provides information about the hydrogeological complexes and their type and degree of permeability, water table levels and depth, piezometric level fluctuation, lithostratigraphic cross-sections, thickness, and percentage of the permeable deposits between 0 and 50 m from the ground surface. All this information is essential to public administrations, stakeholders, researchers, and professionals for defining possible tools for groundwater protection and management and for planning new groundwater exploitation (i.e. municipal drinking water supplies).

Title: Geomorphology of the urban area of Palermo (Italy)
Abstract:
The results of a geomorphological study carried out in the urban area of Palermo are summarized in a thematic map. Field survey, analysis of aerial photographs and topographic maps, consultation of historical documents and maps, stratigraphic and topographic reconstruction from numerous wells and subsoil data, and bibliographic search were performed, in order to display the geomorphological changes produced by man over time in a densely populated area and to define the Anthropocene of the study area. Palermo town rises along large marine terrace surfaces cut by small river valleys and bordered by wide degraded and abandoned coastal cliffs. Over the last 2700 years, this area was affected by remarkable man-made changes to topographic surface and underground, exposing large areas of the city to hydraulic, sinkhole, and landslide risks, and increasing the levels of seismic susceptibility. In light of these results, the produced map is useful for urban planning studies.

Title: Physical and chemical properties of the groundwater of the Santo Domingo-Salinas ranges, South Central Pyrenees
Abstract:
The Santo Domingo-Salinas ranges represent a unique Natural Area in the south-central Pyrenees, and they were declarationas a Protected Landscape in 2015. Available biological and geological knowledge is extensive but lacks of information on groundwater quality. In this work we provide new hydrogeological results and integrate them with previously available hydrogeological data. To do so, we have: (i) compiled existing hydrogeological information, (ii) exhaustively developed an inventory of water points, (iii) sampled, analyzed and interpreted the hydrochemical facies detected, and (iv) developed a preliminary conceptual model for the hydrogeological functioning of the area. These information has been integrated in an map that displays the chemical analyses of the two new campaigns (Stiff diagrams), the flow rates and the three aquifer systems defined. This new information improves and synthetizes the knowledge of the hidrogeology of the Santo Domingo-Salinas ranges Protected Landscape and it will help in its future management and planning.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Strait of Magellan ice lobe, southernmost Patagonia, South America
Abstract:
We present a geomorphic map of the landforms created by the Patagonian Ice Sheet during the local Last Glacial Maximum and perhaps prior glaciations in southernmost Patagonia. Building on prior work, the new mapping focuses in unprecedented detail on the right lateral and frontal landforms formed by the Strait of Magellan ice lobe. We produced the map using aerial orthophotography, Sentinel-2 and SPOT satellite imagery, ALOS PALSAR digital elevation model and fieldwork to ground-truth preliminary interpretations. We delineate at least five glacial events defined by a sequence of moraine drifts and associated glaciofluvial features. In contrast to previous studies, we propose the Magellan ice lobe extended ∼65 km farther, to the Primera Angostura peninsula, during the local Last Glacial Maximum. Our study provides a new context to establish a precise glacial chronology of the Magellan ice lobe during the last glacial cycle in the middle-high latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere.

Title: The stratigraphic and structural setting of metamorphic continental units from Alpine Corsica: clues from the area between Asco and Golo valleys (Central Corsica, France)
Abstract:
The area between the Asco and Golo valleys in Central Corsica, France (latitudes 42°47′95″N to 42°37′96″N, longitudes from 9°11′82″E to 9°20′72″E) is a key-sector to investigate the stratigraphic and tectonic setting of Alpine Corsica. This sector includes (from the structurally lowest to the highest) the Hercynian Corsica, that represents the European continental margin not deeply involved in the convergence processes, and a stack of oceanic and continental units belonging to the Alpine Corsica, i.e. the domain strongly affected by the Alpine deformation and metamorphism in the Late Cretaceous-Paleogene. The 1:15,000 scale geological map illustrates the tectonic features of Alpine Corsica stack with a special focus to the Lower Units, the units derived from the European thinned continental margin involved in the Alpine convergence.

Title: Depositional setting of the southern arms of Lago Argentino (southern Patagonia)
Abstract:
Lago Argentino hosts a series of calving glaciers originating from the Southern Patagonian Icefield, the largest temperate ice cap of the southern hemisphere. Brazo Rico and Brazo Sur are two basins located in the southern part of Lago Argentino, where a series of high-resolution seismic profiles have allowed reconstruction of its depositional setting and sedimentary architecture, and to produce the following maps: top of the acoustic basement, top of the glacial sequence, and thickness of the glacio-lacustrine deposits. Data reveal the role of basement highs in the complex dynamic behavior of the two main glaciers, Perito Moreno and Frías glaciers, which fluctuated along Brazo Rico and Brazo Sur since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum. Their advances and retreats are testified by the presence of several moraine fronts buried beneath a generally undisturbed, glacio-lacustrine and lacustrine sequence, which records the depositional history of the southern arms of Lago Argentino.

Title: High-resolution orthophoto map and digital surface models of the largest Argentine Islands (the Antarctic) from unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry
Abstract:
This study presents the first high-resolution orthophoto maps and digital surface models (DSMs) of the largest Argentine Islands, West Antarctica. Aerial surveys with small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were performed in Austral summer, 2018, taking 10,041 aerial photographs. Accuracy requirements were ensured using ground control points (GCPs). A resolution of 3.4 and 6.8 cm/px of orthomosaics and DSMs is reached on average, and the RMS reprojection error is 0.22 m on average. We report the morphometric parameters of surveyed islands and discuss issues related to accuracy and the usage of UAVs in polar conditions. This study demonstrates that small and low cost UAVs can be successfully used in harsh polar conditions to obtain accurate orthomosaics and DSMs of mainly glaciated terrain. We provide all generated materials in full resolution available in a scientific data repository that could be used for the monitoring of ice cap changes, vegetation cover, and wildlife populations.

Title: Hydrothermal areas, microbial mats and sea grass in Paleochori Bay, Milos, Greece
Abstract:
The study presents a 1:3300 scale map, encompassing an area of 1.05 km2, depicting the first detailed map of the shallow-water water hydrothermal system in Paleochori Bay, Milos, Greece. The seafloor was mapped using orthophotos acquired by a drone survey and processed using ArcGIS. The map shows the distribution of white microbial mats, former microbial mats, sea grass and ‘normal’ sand down to a depth of 15 m. Generation of a comprehensive map with native shapefiles and layer files, where any GPS coordinate in Paleochori Bay can be obtained, allows to target specific locations for data collection, rather than resorting to vague site descriptions, as has been the practice in the past. Sea floor temperature measurements carried out by Scuba divers in conjunction with GPS coordinates were mapped and interpolated to evaluate the temperature distribution in Paleochori Bay, which in turn supports the overall understanding of the hydrothermal system.

Title: Land capability classification of Vernazza catchment, Cinque Terre National Park, Italy
Abstract:
Land capability classification is based on chemical and physical properties of soils for agricultural purposes. Objective of this study is the realization of the land capability map in the Vernazza catchment, an historically terraced landscape in the Cinque Terre National Park, recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO since 1997. A pedolandscape map with a descriptive legend, based on the soil-landscape paradigm for the prediction of soil classes and their spatial distribution, was produced. After, a land capability map was created by classifying the pedolandscape units to aid the sustainable territorial planning in the National Park. The results were plotted on a 1:4000 scale map with a descriptive legend. Land capability map is dominated by lands with severe limitation and only the 30% of the study area may be used for crops but it requires very careful management and conservation practice.

Title: Physical volcanology of Tseax Volcano, British Columbia, Canada
Abstract:
Tseax volcano erupted ∼ 250 years ago in NW British Columbia, Canada producing tephra deposits and lava flows. Field mapping has defined the stratigraphy of Tseax and the lava flow morphologies. Aerial photogrammetry and bathymetry surveys were used to create a high resolution digital elevation model of the volcano to facilitate mapping and estimates of erupted material volumes. Tseax volcano (∼ 10.4 ± 0.7 × 106 m3) comprises an outer breached spatter rampart and an inner conical tephra cone. Tseax is associated with a 32 km long and 0.49 ± 0.08 km3 basanite-to-tephrite lava flow field covering ∼ 36 km2 and divided into 4 distinct lava flows with heterogeneous surface morphologies. We present a volcanological map of Tseax volcano at a scale of 1:22,500. This will serve as supporting information for further research on the eruptive history of Tseax volcano and the lava flow field emplacement.

Title: Biophysical regions of the Southern Highlands, Tanzania: regionalization in a data scarce environment with open geospatial data and statistical methods
Abstract:
Spatially explicit, evidence-based and regionally contextualized data on biophysical landscape characteristics is an essential basis for regionally sustainable landscape management schemes. In many regions of the Global South, the availability of such information is poor, especially at the subnational level, and the spatial management is often based on generic and outdated information, leading to severe threats for land sustainability. We have developed a biophysical regionalization of the Southern Highlands area of Tanzania. The map is based on open-source global datasets depicting climate, soil, topography and vegetation. Through replicable statistical and geospatial analyses, we have identified 7 regions and 18 subsections with biophysically similar and spatially distinctive environmental conditions. The regions provide spatially contextualized support for understanding and managing the landscapes of the Southern Highlands. The applications for such data sets are numerous, from screening suitability areas for e.g. afforestation schemes to evaluating the distinctiveness and vulnerability of landscapes to degradation.

Title: Hydrogeology of the Pearl River Delta, southern China
Abstract:
The study describes the hydrogeological setting of the Pearl River Delta, a sub-tropical area of southern China encompassing the metropolises of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macau. In the last 40 years, a booming economy and a population of about 60 million has increased water demand satisfied by a huge system of dams and reservoirs. Aquifers in the studied area are underutilized and only a few recent studies have addressed hydrogeological characterization at a local scale. Understanding groundwater dynamics of the Pearl River Delta is important for developing additional water supplies, understanding and mitigating groundwater pollution, and for implementing ‘Sponge City' concepts. Via a collection of data from literature and field surveys, the hydrogeological setting of the area is synthetized and represented through thematic maps, cross sections and a hydro-stratigraphic column. Hydrogeological conceptual models are developed that describe the groundwater dynamics in urban and rural areas within the Pearl River Delta.

Title: Global proliferation of offshore gas flaring areas
Abstract:
The long-term venting and combustion of offshore associated gas have substantial adverse effects on the ecological environment, so characterizing the global proliferation of offshore gas flaring areas is very important for marine environmental protection and climate change research. However, the use of a single fire/light remote sensing product makes it difficult to conduct long-term observations. In this study, we detected global offshore gas flaring areas during the 27-year interval from 1992 to 2018, using temporal and spatial complementarity of six different remote sensing data products, which are as follows: DMSP-OLS Nighttime Lights; (A)ATSRs; MODIS and VIIRS active fire products; and VIIRS Night Fire and Nighttime Light. Our aim was to achieve more comprehensive extraction results and to analyze a longer time-interval than has been attempted previously. In addition, the resulting map of the global proliferation of offshore gas flaring areas enables their locational and temporal characteristics to be visualized.

Title: The Quaternary landforms of the Büyük Menderes Graben System: the southern Menderes Massif, western Anatolia, Turkey
Abstract:
We present the first detailed Quaternary landform map of the Büyük Menderes Graben System, located in western Turkey which is one of the most active extensional domains in the world. The main map was produced with a combination of TanDEM-X (12.5 m resolution), Red Relief Image Map, unmanned aerial vehicle, Google Earth images, and multiple fieldworks. The main map is presented at a scale of 1:160,000 although landforms were mapped at a scale of 1:15,000. The ten Quaternary landforms were defined considering their surface morphology and depositional environment. The alluvial fans, river terraces, and floodplains are the most common landforms. The spatial pattern of the alluvial fans and river terraces showed the variable rates of tectonics and surface processes along the strike of the graben system. The distribution of the meander cut-offs and paleo-shorelines imply that Büyük Menderes Graben System is vulnerable to geohazards like flash-flood sedimentation and flood events.

Title: Geological and geotechnical constraints in the Irish Sea for offshore renewable energy
Abstract:
A 1:1,000,000 map of the Irish Sea, within the Irish Economic Exclusion Zone, is presented highlighting the spatial distribution of potential geological and geotechnical constraints to offshore wind energy development. In this mapping exercise we incorporated existing multibeam echosounder bathymetric and backscatter data collected by the Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland’s Marine Resource programme. ArcGIS was used to interrogate the bathymetric data and produce maps for seabed morphological characteristics. Backscatter data and QTC Multiview derived sediment classification was used in conjunction with data from the literature to link sediment distribution with sediment transport pathways and to assess the possible impact on infrastructure. The result is a spatial constraints map, which may be used by developers, consultants and marine spatial planning authorities alike to help site projects and plan de-risking site investigations.

Title: Proposal of a water management sustainability index for the 969 sub-basins of Mexico
Abstract:
Different components of sustainability have been measured in previous studies at national, regional, and local scales. However, few efforts have aimed to measure water sustainability at the basin level. In this work, a water management sustainability index (WMSI) for quantifying water sustainability at the sub-basin level in Mexico is proposed. Variables related to water management in the environmental, social, economic, and institutional sub-systems of each sub-basin system were selected. The variables were aggregated in four sub-indexes based on a factor analysis, the sub-indexes scores were codified to indicate the level reached of water sustainability. The WMSI classified the water sustainability of the sub-basins of Mexico between poor and deficient, and the code classification indicated the level of compliance of the 969 sub-basins proposed by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography with sustainability criteria.

Title: Geodynamic model and tectono-structural framework of the Bengal Basin and its surroundings
Abstract:
We present a brief, but precise description of the geodynamic evolution, and tectono-structural framework of the Bengal Basin. The tectonic map (Main Map) at 1:12,50,000 scale should be considered as a first attempt to provide a more comprehensive and accurate geotectonic cartography of the entire region, with respect to the available maps in the published literatures, and in the light of scientific advances in geodynamics, tectonics and structures reached in the last decades plus new geological field works carried out in some key sectors of the Bengal Basin. The tectonic map of the Bengal Basin improves the knowledge of the geometry of the basin boundary, tectonic settings and relevant structures, and its relation to the collision of the Indian and the Burmese plates. Three schematic geological cross-sections illustrate the tectonic architecture of the basin in depth as well as surroundings. The latest understanding of the present-day geodynamics would help to develop advanced kinematic and dynamic modelling of the Bengal Basin in relation to the pre- and post-collisional stages of the Indian Plate.

Title: Geomorphological analysis using small unmanned aerial vehicles and submeter GNSS (Gara Soultana butte, High Plateaus Basin, Eastern Morocco)
Abstract:
The High Plateaus Basin is an important region to understand landscape evolution and human occupation in North Africa during the Quaternary. We focused on the Gara Soultana area, applying Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, photogrammetry and a submeter Global Navigation Satellite System, for large scale geomorphological mapping. This work in the upper Moulouya catchment has allowed us to define the landform sequence. Conglomerate platforms previously considered to be fluvial terraces, are interpreted here as exhumed bedrock layers of the Plio-Pleistocene stacked series. The El Haï river incision consists of a first phase, represented only by the exhumation of Gara Soultana butte, and a second phase when five strath terraces developed from +20-22 m to the thalweg, formed since the Middle Pleistocene. Holocene terraces could be associated with brief aggradation phases in the lower Moulouya catchment due to rapid climate changes. Fluvial incision led to the formation of mantled pediments and talus flatirons.

Title: The glacial geomorphology of western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
Abstract:
Reconstructing the response of present-day ice sheets to past global climate change is important for constraining and refining the numerical models which forecast future contributions of these ice sheets to sea-level change. Mapping landforms is an essential step in reconstructing glacial histories. Here we present a new map of glacial landforms and deposits on nunataks in western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. Nunataks are mountains or ridges that currently protrude through the ice sheet and may provide evidence that they have been wholly or partly covered by ice, thus indicating a formerly more extensive (thicker) ice sheet. The map was produced through a combination of mapping from Worldview satellite imagery and ground validation. The sub-metre spatial resolution of the satellite imagery enabled mapping with unprecedented detail. Ten landform categories have been mapped, and the landform distributions provide evidence constraining spatial patterns of a previously thicker ice sheet.

Title: Geomorphological and structural characterization of the ‘Canale di Pirro’ polje, Apulia (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
In this work, we present a geomorphological map of the ‘Canale di Pirro’ polje, located in the central part of Apulia region, Southern Italy, among the most interesting karst landforms in the Mediterranean Basin. This area is characterized by a remarkable underground system of caves, where the so-called ‘Inghiottitoio di Masseria Rotolo’ reaches a depth of 324 m, thus being the deepest known cave in Apulia. The polje is bounded on both sides by tectonically controlled ridges, showing an overall length of some 12 km. The map of the area is produced starting from the interpretation of aerial photographs, the integration of the digital elevation model analysis and field surveys, in order to obtain a correct distribution of landforms and fluvial processes. Furthermore, karst depressions, conical hills, erosional gullies, alluvial fans and tectonic structures have been also identified and reported in the map.

Title: Geomorphology of the Anversa degli Abruzzi badlands area (Central Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
This work presents the geomorphology of the Anversa degli Abruzzi badlands (also called calanchi, a typical italian landform) area, located in the Abruzzo Region (Central Apennines, Italy). The map is the result of morphometric and geomorphological analyses, performed at the badland scale, and incorporates three main sections including orography and hydrography, main geomorphological map, and multi-temporal photogeological analysis. The aim of this work is to provide the basis for the recognition of geomorphological features linked to the fluvial environment. Specifically, the study is focused on the Anversa degli Abruzzi calanchi system and it contributes to improving the understanding of this landscape evaluating the geomorphological processes that control its morphometric features and its spatial and temporal evolution.

Title: Reconstructing past flood events from geomorphological and historical data. The Giétro outburst flood in 1818
Abstract:
The 16th of June 1818, the failure of the Giétro glacier in the Swiss Alps provoked an outburst flood that devastated the Bagnes valley, causing 34 deaths and major damages to buildings, road system, hydraulic infrastructures and crops. This disaster had a major impact on the economy of the valley and created a great movement of solidarity. It remains today a well-known historical natural disaster. In order to reconstruct the course of the wave and to map the flood, we used an interdisciplinary approach by crossing historical and geomorphological data. We first compiled and mapped the large number of historical data available in the local and state archives. These data were then completed by geomorphological observations made on the field and on numerical documents. The resulting map presents the spatial extent of the flood and water depths. This article shows the validity of interdisciplinary approaches for reconstructing past natural disasters.

Title: Geomorphology of the northeastern extreme of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Abstract:
A 1:60,000 scale geomorphological map of the Argentine side of the northeastern extreme of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego in southernmost South America is presented. This paper describes and summarizes the geomorphology of the mapped area, which includes glacial, periglacial, fluvial, coastal, aeolian, lacustrine, and anthropogenic landforms that span over 680 km2 north of San Sebastián Bay in a sparsely populated semiarid and cold steppe used for sheep breeding and hydrocarbon extraction. We used Landsat-8, Sentinel-2, and ALOS-PALSAR satellite products combined with field validation to create the map. Glacial advances and retreats as well as climatic and sea level fluctuations that controlled fluvial systems and coastal dynamics were the main sculptors of the landscape during the Late Cenozoic. Aeolian, lacustrine, and anthropogenic activity were later minor contributors. The presented free, open access, vector geomorphological map is intended to be a supporting tool for multidisciplinary researchers and decision-makers.

Title: Surficial geology and geomorphology of Greg crater, Promethei Terra, Mars
Abstract:
Greg crater, located in Promethei Terra, Mars is a ∼66 km diameter impact crater. The crater has been widely studied, both in terms of its overall geomorphological evolution and, more specifically, its ice-rich landforms. One category of these, glacier-like forms, appears to be closely analogous to valley glaciers on Earth. However, Greg crater hosts many other features, the origins and inter-relationships between which are of continuing interest. Here, the surficial geology and geomorphology of Greg crater is presented, identifying seven distinct groups of terrain types or landforms. We identify and classify these based on their physical appearance, guided by published descriptions and interpretations to illustrate the wide variety of landforms and terrain types that, elsewhere, could be used to investigate landscape development.

Title: Structural and geomorphological framework of the upper Maira Valley (Western Alps, Italy): the case study of the Gollone Landslide
Abstract:
An interdisciplinary study has been adopted to investigate the upper Maira Valley (Western Alps, Italy). A geological map of an unmapped area, of about 12 km2, at scale 1:10.000, has been realized. The combination of field surveys, GIS database creation, aerial photo observation, local archival data consultation, geo-structural analysis and drillholes re-interpretation outlined a relationship between structures and landforms. A ductile and brittle deformation history with the definition of four discontinuity systems (F1-F4) has been detected. Where the fracturation is intense, rock-falls and topplings are triggered. In area associated with a homogeneous presence of weathered cover, debris flows were identified. The geo-structural pattern obtained from the surveys in the upper Maira Valley allowed characterizing detachment zones of the slope overlooking Acceglio town. The Gollone Landslide is an excellent case study to unravel the structural-morphological interaction and the kinematic evolution due to its framework.

Title: Geology of the Montigiu Nieddu metamorphic basement, NE Sardinia (Italy)
Abstract:
A geological map at 1:10,000 scale is presented that shows the distribution of the metamorphic rock units in the area of Montigiu (Mt.) Nieddu (NE Sardinia). These units belong to the High-Grade Metamorphic Complex in the Inner Zone of the Variscan chain of Sardinia. The rocks include different types of migmatite, amphibolite, and retrogressed eclogites. The geological map and cross section show the complex tectonic and metamorphic setting of the area, whereas the metamorphic assemblages and deformation framework represent a valuable tool for the reconstruction of the P-T metamorphic evolution for the crustal sectors involved in the Variscan orogeny. The metamorphic rock units reported in the map derived from the lower and upper continental plates involved in the Variscan collision and were tectonically juxtaposed during the early Carboniferous exhumation stage.

Title: Detailed geomorphology of debris avalanches of El Estribo volcanic complex (Central Mexico)
Abstract:
The El Estribo Volcanic Complex, located to the south of Pátzcuaro Lake (Central Mexico), forms an elevation based on a shield volcano crowned by a cinder cone. Two debris avalanches, dated at 28,000 and 14,000 ybp, cover an area of 4 km2 with a typical hummocky topography. The zone is a state natural protected area with no previous studies of hazard and risk from mass movement processes. Herein, we present a detailed geomorphological map of the debris-avalanche area, scale 1:20,000. The approach applied used two hierarchical levels, geomorphological landscapes and landforms. The fault scarp was mapped using high-resolution digital elevation models obtained whit unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) survey. We describe and characterized four main geomorphological units, 20 subunits, 66 hummocks, and the general drainage network. This map is a valuable tool to identify and quantify risks from mass movement processes.

Title: Groundwater vulnerability of principal aquifers of the Campania region (southern Italy)
Abstract:
The assessment of groundwater vulnerability is an important aspect of territorial planning aimed at the management and protection of groundwater quality. This topic is particularly relevant for the Campania region (southern Italy) due to the abundance of groundwater resources and the strong dependence on them of current economic, social and environmental settings. The region is characterized by complex geological, structural and hydrogeological frameworks which make challenging and innovative the assessment of groundwater vulnerability with SINTACS, a parametric method officially recognized by the Italian environmental agencies. In order to apply results obtained to current regional regulations, groundwater vulnerability was estimated for the 80 principal aquifers, hosting respective groundwater bodies, as recognized by the application of the Directive 2000/60/EC. Among principal results, the alluvial and limestone (karst) aquifers, which are the most productive of the region, show the highest groundwater vulnerability, even with spatially variable conditions depending on local hydrogeological features.

Title: Bouguer Anomaly of Central Cebu, Philippines
Abstract:
Cebu Island in Central Philippines consists of a Cretaceous basement complex capped by mostly Tertiary sedimentary units. Recent mapping conducted in Central Cebu revealed limited exposures of lithologies, especially those comprising the basement complex. The gravity method was utilized to generate Bouguer anomaly maps for Central Cebu. These geophysical maps provide the first images of the subsurface extent of the basement units.A prominent nearly circular gravity anomaly high is consistently observed in the Bouguer anomaly maps coinciding with the location of dense basement and intrusive rocks. However, field mapping revealed the very limited surface exposure of these units. The gravity highs recognized in the residual anomaly maps may correspond to the larger extent of the intrusive units at depth. The broad gravity high observed in the regional anomaly map may define the extent of the subsurface distribution of the Cretaceous basement complex.

Title: Geomorphology and surface geology of Mount St. Helens volcano
Abstract:
Mount St. Helens is a stratovolcano of the Cascadia volcanic arc well known worldwide for its volcanic collapse and eruption in 1980, which caused considerable destruction and changed the geomorphology of the volcano and of a considerable portion of its surroundings. This paper presents a geomorphology and surface-geology map of both the wider Mount St. Helens, Washington (USA), at the 1:50,000 scale, and of its crater, at the 1:25,000 scale. The map is obtained from the interpretation of two high-resolution, air-borne acquired, digital terrain models, LiDAR dataset, combined with Google Earth imaging, geological information and field surveys. The geomorphology of the area is largely dominated by landforms connected with the blast of 1980 and the dome extrusion of 2004, which also affected the shape of the main glacier in the crater.

Title: Geomorphology of the upper Kalguty Basin, Ukok Plateau, Russian Altai mountains
Abstract:
As part of an archaeological research project, we investigate the geomorphology of the cold and arid study area by combining field mapping with use of orthoimages and DEM. To the north of a broad trunk valley floor, gentle slopes continuously vegetated culminate around 3000 m, while to the south steep slopes reaching to 3500 m are deeply incised and covered mainly by regolith. The basin has been intensively glaciated as evidenced by the till covering the gentler slopes, several morainic complexes, kame terraces and roches moutonnées. The present morphodynamics of this permafrost-affected basin is mainly periglacial, with blockfields, solifluction lobes, patterned ground and rock glaciers on gentle slopes to high-elevated flat terrain, and block slopes and rockfall talus on steeper slopes. Large alluvial fans at the outlet of the steep lateral valleys constrain the anastomosing channel of the Kalguty river. Active braided channels in those valleys evidence seasonal high peak discharge.

Title: Geotechnics for rockfall assessment in the volcanic island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain)
Abstract:
The island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) is characterized by a large variability of volcanic rocks reflecting its volcanic evolution. The geological map provided by Geological Survey of Spain at 1:25.000 scale shows more than 109 different lithologies and it is too complex for environmental and engineering purposes. This work presents a simplified geotechnical map with a small number of classes grouping up units with similar geotechnical behaviours. The lithologies were grouped using about 350 rock samples, collected in the seven major islands of the Archipelago. The geotechnical map was used to model rockfall hazard in the entire island of Gran Canaria, where rockfalls are an important threat. The rockfall map was validated with 128 rockfall events along the GC-200 road, located in the NW sector of Gran Canaria. About 96% of the events occurred along sections of the road where the number of expected trajectories is high or moderate.

Title: Digital adaptation of the Geomorphological Map of Upper Silesian Industrial Region, Poland (1:50,000) – old map new possibilities
Abstract:
The paper is a brief description which discusses the stages of the digital adaptation of the printed version of old geomorphological map. It was paid attention to difficulties and errors that arose during work (incompatibility adjacent sheets, problems with distinguishing of the particular landforms, lack of some landforms). As a result, a geodatabase with 30 vector layers was obtained depicting all relief forms on the original map. The uniqueness of this map arise due to anthropogenic relief forms placed on it. It was extremely important because the mapped area was very strongly transformed by economic human activity. It was decided to compare recorded anthropogenic landforms with maps from other periods (1890, 1993 and 2014). As a result, it was possible to trace spatial and quantitative changes of selected anthropogenic forms on this. In general, between 1890 and 2014, all anthropogenic forms increased with the largest share of the anthropogenic flats.

Title: Geology and evolution of the Cortes de Pallás diapir (Eastern Iberia)
Abstract:
This paper presents an 1:20,000 geological map and cross-sections of the Cortes de Pallás diapir (eastern Iberia). This structure is located at the junction of the Iberian Chain and the Betic Cordillera, in the northernmost part of the eastern Prebetic Zone. The diapir is an ENE to NE oriented saltwall, parallel to the regional structural trend of the Betic Cordillera. Our results support the hypothesis of a polyphase tectonic evolution from Oligocene to Pliocene times: (a) An extensional phase, Oligocene–Early Miocene in age, in which the graben system formed and the diapir rose. (b) A Middle Miocene compressive phase characterized by at least the partial closure of the diapir and thrusting of its old southern margin over the previous half-graben infill. (c) Finally, a Late Miocene–Pliocene extensional phase in which, synchronous to the normal faulting in the graben system, the diapir was reactivated and cut the previous structures.

Title: Underthrusting and exhumation of continent-derived units within orogenic wedge: an example from the Northern Apennines (Italy)
Abstract:
The Punta Bianca Unit (NW Italy) is a continent-derived metamorphic unit that experienced underthrusting and later exhumation in the hinterland sector of the Northern Apennines fold-and-thrust belt. We present a novel 1:5000 scale geological map that aims to illustrate the polyphase tectonic evolution of the Punta Bianca Unit and its relationships with non-metamorphic units. The geologic data presented in the map are coupled with the structural analysis of the main tectonic elements, lithostratigraphic, finite strain and microstructural data that allow to highlight the tectonic history of the study area. In particular, we recognized that the Punta Bianca Unit underwent an early phase of underplating (D1), followed by syn-orogenic exhumation to shallow crustal levels and coupling with the overlying Tuscan Nappe (D2), and nappe stacking/refolding (D3). Low-angle semibrittle (D4) and high-angle brittle (D5) faulting affected both the Punta Bianca Unit and the Tuscan Nappe during the latest stages of deformation.

Title: The glacial geomorphology of the Río Corcovado, Río Huemul and Lago Palena/General Vintter valleys, northeastern Patagonia (43°S, 71°W)
Abstract:
This study presents the first detailed glacial geomorphological map of the sediment-landform assemblages formed by three eastern outlet glaciers of the former Patagonian Ice Sheet. These glaciers occupied the Río Corcovado, Río Huemul and Lago Palena/General Vintter valleys, Chubut province, Argentina (43°S, 71°W). By combining remote sensing and field-mapping, we build on previous ice-sheet scale mapping and geological surveys to provide high-resolution spatial information on local ice-contact glaciogenic, glaciofluvial, glaciolacustrine, and subglacial landforms. Twenty-five landform types, many of which are newly mapped in the region, were digitized as georeferenced shapefiles over a 5300 km2 area. This map enables the identification of former ice-flow directions, relative ice-margin positions and glaciofluvial drainage pathways for each preserved Quaternary glaciation. It also elucidates the former areal extent, geolocation and spillways of glaciolacustrine bodies formed during the last deglaciation. The map delivers an essential framework on which to build robust glacier-scale geomorphological and geochronological reconstructions.

Title: Seafloor Map of the Alghero Bay (Sardinia, Italy)
Abstract:
The Alghero Bay is a coastal area of high economic value because of the presence of one of the most popular beaches of Sardinia (San Giovanni, Maria Pia, Le Bombarde, Lazzaretto). The organisms living in the meadow of Posidonia oceanica, which densely cover the offshore areas of the bay, represent the most important source of sediments to these beaches. For this reason, a detailed mapping of the local seabed features and distribution of P. oceanica constitutes an important tool for the coastal managing of the area. The integrated use of several methodologies, such as Side Scan Sonar, Remote Operating Vehicle, Drone and direct sediment sampling has allowed us to realize a very detailed seafloor map of the Alghero Bay.

Title: Magnetic anomalies of the NW Iberian continental margin and the adjacent abyssal plains
Abstract:
The NW Iberian margin is a hyperextended continental margin, formed during the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean, where a subsequent partial tectonic inversion has undergone during the Alpine Orogeny. This succession of tectonic episodes determines the magnetic signature of the margin. The Spanish Exclusive Economic Zone Project has carried out seven one-month cruises between 2001 and 2009. To extend and densify the spatial coverage, we have used data from the World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map. Here, we describe the methodology used for the acquisition and data processing of the magnetic field data. The use of diverse instrumentation, a non-complete external field’s cancelation, and the use of different magnetic core field models, contributed to the total error budget. To reduce it, we have used a leveling algorithm which minimizes all these contributions. Finally, a statistical analysis was applied using crossover residuals, showing a resolution better than 28 nT.

Title: Geomorphology of the high-elevated flysch range – Mt. Babia Góra Massif (Western Carpathians)
Abstract:
A detailed geomorphological map of the Mt. Babia Góra Massif (1725 m a.s.l.), at a scale 1:10,000 is presented. A slope, glacial, periglacial and fluvial features were mapped on the base of the coupled field studies and LiDAR DEM analyses. This study underlines the complexity of rock slope failures (RSFs), in shaping the morphology of compact and isolated upland, exhibiting one of the highest incidences of RSFs yet recorded in Europe (29% for a whole massif, and 45% for the north face). A total of 212 RSFs were mapped of which 18 failures are large landslides (>0.25 km2), among them is one of the largest known (2.6 km2 and 150 × 106 m3) in the Polish Flysch Carpathians. The mapping and Schmidt-hammer results shed light on the problem of glacial relief of the massif, documenting the remnants of glacial deposits beyond the tongues of landslides in the Szumiąca Woda valley.

Title: Geology of the northern Convoy Range, Victoria Land, Antarctica
Abstract:
In this paper, we supply a geological map of the area between 76°–76°30′S and 159°–163°E, that was the only missing portion to complete an entire coverage of Victoria Land, filling the gap between the GIGAMAP program (to the north) and the maps by the New Zealand Antarctic program (to the south). The mapped area encompasses an early Paleozoic basement, and a flat-lying cover of sedimentary and igneous rocks, Permo-Triassic to Jurassic in age. The basement consists of large bodies of the Granite Harbour Igneous Complex, a granitic complex linked to the Ross Orogeny. After the early Paleozoic Ross Orogeny, the area was uplifted and eroded, and the sandstones of the Beacon Supergroup were deposited on the resulting erosion surface. The Beacon Supergroup sandstones were in turn covered and in most cases incorporated into the volcanic and sub-volcanic rocks of the Jurassic Ferrar Group.

Title: Geomorphology of fluvial deposits in the middle Tocantins River, eastern Amazon
Abstract:
This paper presents the geomorphological mapping at a 1:100,000 scale of fluvial deposits in the middle Tocantins River. The region preserves an important sedimentary archive of environmental changes of the Amazon and Cerrado biomes. Yet, the region is under influence of diverse anthropogenic activities, including planned or operational hydropower plants, and detailed geomorphological mapping is lacking. The mapping combined interpretation of surface geomorphic features, morphometric analysis, and field surveys. Three main geomorphic units were defined: (i) fluvial plain, (ii) fluvial terraces, and (iii) paleo-alluvial fans. The detailed mapping survey allowed a hierarchical organization of geomorphological units as well as their relative chronology of formation. Our results improve the understanding on the complex geomorphological processes which shape the current fluvial landscape. Specifically, improving the understanding of the Tocantins River floodplains is crucial to support conservation of flooded forests, sustainable use of natural resources and minimize socio-economic losses and damages.

Title: Landforms of the lower Hushe Valley (Central Karakoram, Pakistan)
Abstract:
This paper presents a new geomorphological map for the lower Hushe Valley (below 3400 m asl), located to the SE of the Central Karakoram in Baltistan (North Pakistan). Fieldwork and remote sensing were combined to improve understanding of the most recent surface landforms to produce a 1:50,000 scale map. Thirteen landform types associated with glacial, fluvial, gravitational and mass wasting processes were identified and mapped. Particular emphasis was made on currently dynamic processes that could pose a threat to the population. The distribution of the landforms on the valley (reworked tills, alluvial fans, rockfalls, among others) differs between the eastern and the western hillslopes, and from north to south, mainly due to bedrock types, location of geological structures and distribution of lateral tributaries. This map is the first and necessary step towards a deep assessment on geological risk related to external processes in the area.

Title: Geology of the southern Dora-Maira Massif: insights from a sector with mixed ophiolitic and continental rocks (Valmala tectonic unit, Western Alps)
Abstract:
In the Valmala sector of the southern Dora Maira Massif (Western Alps), two different eclogite- and blueschist-facies units (i.e. the Rocca Solei and Dronero units, respectively), are separated by a shear zone (i.e. the Valmala Tectonic Unit), which peculiarly consists of mixed slices of ophiolitic and continental rocks. A detailed geological map at 1:10,000 scale allowed to point out that the tectonic slices within the Valmala Tectonic Unit consist of ‘native’ rock slices wrenched from the overlying Dronero Unit, and ‘exotic’ rocks likely sourced from other units of the Dora Maira and from a continental margin and an oceanic basin. On the contrary, rock slices sourced from the underlying Rocca Solei Unit are lacking. The overall tectonic stack results after an early subduction-related deformation phase (i.e. the D1), and the pervasive overprinting of two subsequent exhumation-related deformation phases (i.e. the D2 and D3). The Valmala Tectonic Unit is inferred to have played a role in decoupling the southern Dora Maira Massif during subduction, and/or in driving exhumation of the ultra-high pressure rocks occurring in the adjoining Brossasco-Isasca Unit.

Title: Fault tectonics of the Tuscan Nappe in the eastern sector of the Apuan Alps (Italy)
Abstract:
We present the geological-structural map of the Tuscan Nappe exposed on the eastern border of the Apuan Alps metamorphic dome (Tuscany, Italy). The 1:6,500 scaled Main Map covers an area of about 10 km2. It contains the first detailed overview of the fault tectonics affecting the Tuscan Nappe during the exhumation and uplift of the Tuscan Metamorphic Units. We documented a polyphase fault tectonics that initially produced low-angle extensional faults and later high-angle faults. The latter started within a transtensional tectonic regime that produced left-lateral strike-slip faults. Lately a pure extensional tensor, indicating a switch of the maximum compression σ1 axis from sub-horizontal to sub-vertical, produced faults with a dominant dip-slip component. In our reconstruction the lateral thickness variations documented in several formations of the Tuscan Nappe is mainly controlled by tectonics and not by stratigraphy, as previously suggested.

Title: Soil types of Aosta Valley (NW-Italy)
Abstract:
The first soil map of the whole Aosta Valley Region was produced at the 1:100,000 scale. We used 691 soil profiles, attributed to 16 Cartographic (soil) Units, spatialized using a Maximum Likelihood Estimation model available in ArcGIS software. Six maps were used as base layers, representing the most important soil-forming factors: parent material, vegetation/land use, mean annual precipitation, elevation, absolute aspect and slope angle. The Maximum Likelihood Estimation was followed by an expert-based check that led to a re-assignment of some wrongly attributed cartographic polygons. The validation process revealed that the User’s and Producer’s Accuracies were rather high (between 47.5% and 84.4% for common soil types). A particularly high pedodiversity, associated to strong geological, vegetational and climatic gradients was observed.

Title: A recent history of deglaciation and vegetation establishment in a contrasted geomorphological context, Glacier Blanc, French Alps
Abstract:
This paper combines a new chronosequence of deglaciation from 1952 to 2015 for Glacier Blanc, French Alps, with an analysis of the proglacial area greening trend. Deglaciated landscapes are ideal natural arenas to investigate geoecological processes, and the Glacier Blanc is an interesting case as it offers a contrasted geomorphological context. The relationships between vegetation and glaciological, geomorphological and hydrological features have first been assessed by revising the existing chronosequence of deglaciation by geo-referencing 12 historical images which has allowed the production of a dense high resolution glacier outline sequence since 1952. Geomorphological and hydrological features have been mapped by photo-interpretation of historical images. The spatial distribution of vegetation and greening trends were assessed using a 2015 high resolution infra-red images and 35-years of Landsat images from 1984 to 2019. The main map illustrates the spatial intertwining of geomorphological and hydrological features with vegetation primary succession in a deglaciated landscapes.

Title: Glacial geomorphology between Lake Vänern and Lake Vättern, southern Sweden
Abstract:
The glacial geomorphology between the lakes Vänern and Vättern is presented on a 1:220,000 scale, LiDAR-based map covering approximately 18,000 km2. Fifteen landform units have been mapped; end moraines, De Geer moraines, drumlins, crag-and-tails, hummock tracts and corridors, irregular ridges, murtoos, eskers, deltas/sandur, outwash complexes, meltwater channels, boulder bars/sheets, the Timmersdala ridge, raised shorelines, sand dunes and prominent landslide scars (the last three are post-glacial). The area includes moraines associated with the Younger Dryas cold interval and drainage deposits of the Baltic Ice Lake. Additionally, the map reveals previously undetected geomorphic features including (1) murtoos, (2) abundant traces of meltwater erosion manifested as channels and hummock corridors, (3) laterally extensive end-moraine systems (the Remmene and Kungslena ice-margin positions) and (4) the distinct lobate shape of end moraines formed above the highest shoreline. This map provides a uniform base for future use in georesources, paleo ice-sheet modelling, geologic history, and geoconservation.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the High Gredos Massif: Gredos and Pinar valleys (Iberian Central System, Spain)
Abstract:
We present a detailed geomorphological map of the landform assemblages originated by the two major paleoglaciers of the Sierra de Gredos mountain range in the Spanish Iberian Central System. Based on previous works, our map focused on the features formed by Gredos and Pinar paleoglaciers during the last glaciation and subsequent glacial events. Based on a remote sensing analysis and exhaustive field surveys, we identified with great accuracy the local distribution of glacial, periglacial, mass movement, structural, fluvial, and lacustrine features. We recognized three main glacial geomorphological formations representing: (i) the maximum glacial extension reached (peripheral deposits); (ii) the culmination of glacial conditions (principal moraines) and (iii) the local glacial withdrawal (internal deposits). Our map offers a renewed spatial framework on which to conduct higher-resolution glacial chronologies, especially of Late Glacial and Holocene glacial activity, providing key information for performing future paleoclimatic reconstructions of the northern hemisphere mid-latitudes.

Title: Geology of the High Sillaro Valley (Northern Apennines of Italy)
Abstract:
We map the High Sillaro Valley, in the Northern Apennines of Italy. Here the Ligurian wedge overthrust the foredeep deposits of the Marnoso Arenacea formation – MA. The overthrusting occurred through a shear zone with components derived from the frontal part of the Ligurian wedge and interpreted as a tectonic mélange (Sestola-Vidiciatico Tectonic unit - SVU) here subdivided into two different subunits structurally independent one from the other. In the area, the Visignano chaotic body (VIS) constitutes an intercalation within the Serravallian-Tortonian MA and derives, as the SVU, from the frontal part of the Ligurian wedge. We performed a detailed investigation of the components of the VIS that helps to better define the architecture of the frontal part of the Ligurian wedge and to constrain the timing of the deformation phases affecting this portion of the Northern Apennines during the middle-late Miocene.

Title: Analysis of the paraglacial landscape in the Ny-Ålesund area and Blomstrandøya (Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, Norway)
Abstract:
Ice cover changes have affected the Svalbard Islands during the Quaternary and conditioned a complex paraglacial landscape. In these remote and poorly vegetated arctic areas, the integration of field investigations and analysis of aerial images and DTMs or terrestrial laser scanning, is effective in the understanding landscape features and changes. In this work, we present the results of a geomorphological investigation and mapping in two sites along the Kongsfjorden in NW Svalbard (Ny-Ålesund and Blomstrandøya). A specific analysis focused on the slope landforms along the rock slopes. The study is based on fieldwork that defined deposits and landforms distribution of areas with different bedrock and geomorphological context. The analysis of the rock slopes focused on weathering and erosion processes, estimating erosion rates of 0.15–0.37 mm/yr over the Holocene, consistent with other areas around the Kongsfjorden and close to the highest values found in arctic areas.

Title: Diverse supraglacial drainage patterns on the Devon ice Cap, Arctic Canada
Abstract:
The Devon Ice Cap (DIC) is one of the largest ice masses in the Canadian Arctic. Each summer, extensive supraglacial river networks develop on the DIC surface and route large volumes of meltwater from ice caps to the ocean. Mapping their extent and understanding their temporal evolution are important for validating runoff routing and melt volumes predicted by regional climate models (RCMs). We use 10 m Sentinel-2 images captured on 28 July and 10/11 August 2016 to map supraglacial rivers across the entire DIC (12,100 km2). Both dendritic and parallel supraglacial drainage patterns are found, with a total length of 44,941 km and a mean drainage density (Dd) of 3.71 km−1. As the melt season progresses, Dd increases and supraglacial rivers form at progressively higher elevations. There is a positive correlation between RCM-derived surface runoff and satellite-mapped Dd, suggesting that supraglacial drainage density is primarily controlled by surface runoff.

Title: Land-type mapping and its application to land-use zoning: a case study of Jiangsu province, eastern China
Abstract:
Achieving sustainable development through China’s national territory spatial planning requires comprehensive knowledge of all land characteristics. This paper introduces a land-type map of Jiangsu province (104 km2) in eastern China to provide such knowledge. The land-type map focuses on both physical geographic components (e.g. climate types, landforms, and soil types) and human-related components (e.g. land-use types and intensities). These components were represented by parameter layers and integrated with the help of the Geographic Information System (GIS) overlay function. A hierarchical land-type classification system was generated to provide land mapping units that represented certain degrees of geographic homogeneity and land-use potential. Trading off the relationship between resource protection and resource utilization, the space of Jiangsu was divided into seven land-use zones with different land-use policies based on the land-type map. The land-type map can thus be taken into consideration for land planning and management.

Title: Engineering geological mapping using airborne LiDAR datasets – an example from the Vinodol Valley, Croatia
Abstract:
This paper presents the potential of airborne LiDAR digital terrain model (DTM) for engineering geological mapping in geologically complex and forested area. The multipurpose, comprehensive engineering geological map is created for the pilot area (16.75 km2) located in the Vinodol Valley, Croatia. Eight topographic datasets were derived from 1-m DTM and visually interpreted to identify lithologies and geomorphological processes. In total, 12 engineering geological units, more than 500 landslides, and gully erosion phenomena are outlined in the pilot area. Results confirmed the greatest potential of visual interpretation of LiDAR derivatives for mapping of geomorphological processes in a large scale. On the other hand, this method allowed identification and mapping of engineering formations that are basic engineering geological units appropriate for the medium-scale engineering geological maps. The produced map represents a valuable tool for a wide range of planning and engineering purposes, as well as for geological hazard and risk assessment.

Title: Ornamental stones of Piemonte (NW Italy): an updated geo-lithological map
Abstract:
The ‘Ornamental Stones of Piemonte Region’ geo-lithological map at 1:250,000 scale aims at reviewing the ornamental stone heritage of Piemonte at the regional scale. The map derives from a thorough revision of the available literature, integrated with some unpublished original data. The map shows the location of the main quarries of ornamental stones of the region, selected on the basis of their historical, cultural and architectonic relevance. A geo-lithological basemap was produced, deriving it from a basic Geological Map of Piemonte, available at the same scale. The large varieties of lithotypes of Piemonte have been resumed, in the new map, into 21 classes, which all the ornamental stones have been assigned to. The Main Map is enriched by some significant examples of using the ornamental stones in historical buildings, and it is supported by a supplementary data base containing essential information about the quarry sites and the quarried material.

Title: Modelling soil erosion and runoff for a super typhoon event using PCRaster
Abstract:
A physical model for soil erosion and runoff was created for Alimit River Sub-watershed, using PCRaster Software. Manning's equation was used to model surface runoff velocity and Rose’ and Freebairn’s Equation was used to compute for sediment concentration. Event-based rainfall, saturated hydraulic conductivity, land use map, and digital elevation model were used as input for the model. Close correspondence was observed between the measured and predicted values for both streamflow and mass of eroded sediments. It was observed that vegetation played a significant role in reducing eroded sediments and choosing the correct Manning's Roughness Coefficient for various land use/ land cover is of utmost importance. Furthermore, in the absence of soil data, land use/ land cover or NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) can be used as basis for the hydraulic conductivity of the soil.

Title: Geomorphology of the Sulden River basin (Italian Alps) with a focus on sediment connectivity
Abstract:
An area-wide digital geomorphological map consisting of 12,180 non-overlapping polygons was created for the Sulden river basin (South Tyrol, Italian Alps) with the purpose to carry out a GIS-based sediment connectivity analysis. Thirty-one landform types were defined with respect to their role within sediment cascades. As such, the classification and the related symbology partly differ from a traditional geomorphological map where several areal objects are frequently represented by scaled and rotated point symbols. The catchment (∼130 km²), exhibits a high geomorphological variability as well as relatively large glacierized areas. We used the geomorphological map for a first qualitative estimate of the main differences between the two major sub-basins concerning the components of the sediment cascades: while the Trafoi sub-catchment exhibits a high number of small landslides and debris flow channels (i.e. source and transport landforms), the Sulden sub-catchment is rather characterized by large proglacial and talus landforms (i.e. temporary storage landforms).

Title: The Tachrift channel-levée turbidite complexes (Tortonian) of the Taza-Guercif basin (South Rifian Corridor, NE Morocco)
Abstract:
This contribution reports on the field mapping of 9 exceptionally well-exposed channel-levée complexes from Taza–Guercif Basin (NE Morocco), belonging to the Late Miocene Tachrift turbidite system. Separated from each another by hemipelagic marlstones, the mapped channel-levée complexes exhibit thicknesses in the range of 5–25 m. Four main sedimentary facies associations were mapped, including channel-fill sandstones, levée thin-bedded heterolithics, chaotic mass transport deposits, and hemipelagic marlstones. In addition, two end-member styles of channel-fills spatial stacking were recognized, reflecting different modes of channel belt development and/or location along the slope profile, namely: (a) a lateral-migration pattern, resulting from lateral migration of high-sinuosity levéed channel belts, as opposed to (b) a vertically stacked pattern, interpreted to reflect the vertical aggradation of levéed channel belts with a relatively low sinuosity. The geological map accompanying this contribution provides the basis for more in-depth sedimentological investigations on the channels of the Tachrift turbidite system.

Title: Geology of Las Minas: an example of an exhumed geothermal system (Eastern Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt)
Abstract:
The Las Minas area corresponds to an exhumed geothermal system considered a proxy for the deep part of the nearby Los Humeros active geothermal system. The stratigraphic succession is made up of: Palaeozoic-Miocene granitoids, a thick Jurassic- Cretaceous carbonate succession, Neogene lava flows and volcano-sedimentary deposits. Linked to a Miocene magma intrusion, marble and skarn rock-volumes developed by contact metamorphism and geothermal fluid flow. Faults are arranged in SW- and NNW-striking systems. These controlled the morphological evolution and favored Neogene-Quaternary dyke emplacement. Faulting gave rise to a tectonic depression where lacustrine sediments and pyroclastics deposited. Skarn rocks are mainly located at fault intersections and along pre-existing discontinuities, suggesting the role of bedding and/or fractures in channeling deep fluids. Results give inputs for exploration at depth of Los Humeros geothermal system.

Title: A multidisciplinary approach to the study of insular environments: the 1st Summer School on Geomorphology, Ecology, and Marine Biology in the Tremiti Islands (Southern Adriatic Sea, Puglia, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper is the outcome of the 1st Summer School on Geomorphology, Ecology, and Marine Biology in insular environments, focused on the advanced and multidisciplinary methods for the scientific investigation of marine coastal areas. It was held at Tremiti Islands, a significant laboratory for geomorphological, biological, and ecological studies because of its dynamic interaction between geodiversity and biodiversity, which makes it an ideal place for scientific research and geotourism. Landscape information was collected during field trips, while practical activities were finalized to sampling sediments and data collection of hard bottom assemblages. The map is the result of a multidisciplinary analysis incorporating geomorphological field observations and advanced methods applicable for ecological and environmental research, supported by scientific diving. This work represents a useful tool for the dissemination of environmental knowledge of the area and for understanding the relationships between landscape and natural heritage through modern and environmentally aware tourism.

Title: Geomorphological analysis of the San Domino Island (Tremiti Islands, Southern Adriatic Sea). Results from the 2019 Geomorphological Field Camp of the MSc in Geological Science and Technology (University of Chieti-Pescara)
Abstract:
The 2019 Geomorphological Field Camp at San Domino Island (Tremiti Islands, Southern Adriatic Sea) is the result of geological and geomorphological field work activities carried out by a group of students attending the Geomorphological field mapping course of the Master’s Degree in Geological Science and Technology (University of Chieti-Pescara). The main map (1:5000 scale) was obtained through an integrated approach that incorporates morphometric analysis, geological and geomorphological field mapping, and geomorphological profiles drawing. Activities were carried out by all students, divided into six working groups of three to four persons each. The field camp and field work activities made it possible to produce a detailed thematic map, as a scientific tool to depict the San Domino Island landscape, and to outline some geomorphological issues in terms of possible constraints to landscape evolution, geomorphological processes distribution, and natural hazard assessment.

Title: Geomorphology of the upper Mkhomazi River basin, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, with emphasis on late Pleistocene colluvial deposits
Abstract:
We present a 1:50 000 scale geomorphological map of the upper Mkhomazi River basin, located in the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. The sub-horizontal strata of the Permo-Triassic Beaufort Group forms plateau interfluves with a concave valley slope morphology. Locally, thick sequences of late Pleistocene colluvial deposits and associated buried paleosols (Masotcheni Formation) infill first-order tributary stream valleys and extend across the adjacent lower slopes. Surface runoff processes preferentially incise into the poorly consolidated, highly erodible sediments causing severe gully erosion that is responsible for widespread land degradation and desertification phenomena. The main purpose of this work is to derive a geomorphological map of the study area focussing on the erosional landforms to understand their spatial distribution and their relation to the colluvial deposits. Finally, a local and regional stratigraphic correlation of colluvial deposits and associated buried palaeosol profiles is proposed.

Title: Lava flows of Mt Etna, Italy: the 2019 eruption within the context of the last two decades (1999–2019)
Abstract:
UAVs have become a useful tool for natural hazard monitoring. In volcanic areas, they allow wider observations of the eruptive behaviour, with no risk for the operator. The SfM technique enables obtaining orthoimages of lava flows and a DEM in a short time. These data are also useful to estimate lava flow volumes and the mass output rate characterizing an eruption. We present the results of ten UAV surveys made during and after the 30 May – 6 June 2019 eruption of Etna volcano, projecting the data in a time context back until 1999. Orthoimages taken on different days allowed monitoring the morpho-structural evolution of the fissures, capturing the lava flows propagation and the accumulation of pyroclastic deposits. From 1999 to 2018, there were nine flank-eruptions and dozens of summit-eruptions, which for graphic simplicity have been grouped by year in the map. The resulting map represents the most updated of the recent lava flows of Etna.

Title: A mountain slope deformation in an alpine metaophiolitic massif (Ligurian Alps, Italy)
Abstract:
Deep-seated gravitational slope deformation (DsGSD) represents a relevant geological-geomorphological feature of the landscape and has drawn scientific attention for the past several decades. During a detailed fieldwork in the Ligurian Alps, we identified areas (larger than ca 5 km2), characterized by very low percentage of outcrops, with rock blocks on the watershed and many morpho-tectonic evidences. Through the integration of geological-geomorphological mapping, structural data, photo interpretation, GIS-based analyses, we identified a number of typical DsGSDs. The example here described is one major complex-sagging-type DsGSD that is not present in national land planning and/or management databases but that is likely at the origin of the large-scale landslides which affected the villages of the area. This DsGSD is also located within the Beigua UNESCO Global Geopark, in an area of unique natural and historical value. This study once again highlights the importance of ground truth observations as the basis for further investigations.

Title: Anthropogenic landforms and geo-hydrological hazards of the Bisagno Stream catchment (Liguria, Italy)
Abstract:
This work presents the geomorphological features associated with the anthropic morphogenesis of the Bisagno Stream catchment, combined with the geo-hydrological hazards associated with landslides and floods. This catchment is internationally known for its recurring high-magnitude floods and its geo-hydrological hazards associated with the large and widespread presence of elements exposed at risks. It experienced severe morphological changes due to anthropogenic interventions related to urban sprawl and agriculture. Anthropogenic modifications to the former landscape have been particularly widespread and pervasive over the coastline, the floodplain, and the slopes. They include a general alteration of the pristine landforms, excavation and landfill forms, channelization and culvert of riverbeds, and terraced slopes. The 1:20,000 scale map allows to assess the relationships existing among structures and infrastructures, anthropogenic landforms, and landslides and flood-prone areas. Thus, this tool provides relevant information for land-use planning and land management, in particular under the perspective of geo-hydrological hazards mitigation.

Title: Geomorphological evidence of debris flows and landslides in the Pescara del Tronto area (Sibillini Mts, Marche Region, Central Italy)
Abstract:
In this paper, a geomorphological map of Pescara del Tronto area (Sibillini Mts, Marche Region) is presented. The work focuses on the geomorphological analysis performed in a zone strongly struck by the 2016–2017 seismic sequence of Central Apennines. The geomorphological map (1:7,500 scale) was obtained through an integrated approach that incorporates geological-geomorphological field mapping and geomorphological profile drawing, supported by air-photo interpretation and GIS analysis. The main purpose of the work is to describe a geomorphological approach for representing and mapping the evidence of several debris flows and landslides recognized in the framework of seismic microzonation (SM) activities. Finally, in order to elevate geomorphological maps into effective tools for land management and risk reduction, it could provide a scientific and methodological basis to demonstrate that accurate mapping provides important information, readily available for local administrations and decision-makers, for the implementation of sustainable territorial planning and loss-reduction measures.

Title: Geomorphology of landslide–flood-critical areas in hilly catchments and urban areas for EWS (Feltrino Stream and Lanciano town, Abruzzo, Central Italy)
Abstract:
Urban and small catchment landslides and floods are common types of hazards caused by intense rainfall. The detailed geomorphological mapping and analysis of the superficial hydrographic network are fundamental tools to assess the geo-hydrologically critical areas. In this study, the Feltrino Stream and Lanciano area (Adriatic coastal-hills) were investigated through a basin-scale and urban-scale geomorphological analysis – which incorporated temperature-rainfall and morphometric analyses, and the acquisition of geomorphological and hazard data, integrated with geomorphological fieldwork and mapping. The creation of a geodatabase and the data overlay led to assess the landslide–flood critical areas through geomorphology-based matrices. This study aimed to define the distribution of landslide–flood historical/recent events and related critical areas for the realization of an urban EWS, composed of a network of nine gauges, integrating the existing regional monitoring network. It defined a local alert system for landslide–flood and could support real-time communication for civil protection purposes.

Title: Multi-temporal UAV based repeat monitoring of rivers sensitive to flood
Abstract:
Multi-temporal repeat monitoring of flood-vulnerable rivers is crucial due to rapid alteration of morphological properties of in-channel landforms. Besides, the characteristics of the river crossing bridges may deteriorate due to flood induced scouring around bridge piles or due to flood loads. Thus, in this study high-resolution topography of the study region was acquired during two consecutive years by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based surveys using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) processing. Following the extraction of digital elevation models (DEM), repeat data that were obtained at each UAV survey were compared using Geomorphic Change Detection (GCD) to calculate volumes of deposition and erosion via DEM of difference (DoD) algorithm. Thus, detailed high-resolution maps of the river channels can be rapidly and efficiently generated by low cost UAV based measurement methods in order for continuous tracking of stream channel morphology for the rivers sensitive to floods.

Title: Geo-hazards of the San Vito peninsula offshore (southwestern Tyrrhenian Sea)
Abstract:
In this paper we present geomorphological hazard mapping of the San Vito Peninsula offshore (Sicilian margin of Tyrrhenian Sea), characterised by a very narrow continental shelf and a very dipping, tectonically active continental slope, no far from a seismogenic belt. The data set consists of morpho-bathymetric models achieved by means of multibeam survey and scattered high resolution seismic profiles. The morpho-bathymetric study highlighted some potential sites of geomorphological hazards, the most representative of which are: (i) two canyons developing from the upper slope off San Vito Cape down to the Erice basin; (ii) a dense network of small incisions across the upper slope; (iii) a very active landslide, developed onland and extending in the continental shelf close to the Scopello village. The geomorphological features that can generate submarine hazard are represented by: unstable sediment packages into canyon heads or along the upper slope; submarine canyons with regressive erosion; coastal landslides.

Title: Applying planetary mapping methods to submarine environments: onshore-offshore geomorphology of Christiana-Santorini-Kolumbo Volcanic Group, Greece
Abstract:
Geologic maps are foundational products for natural hazard assessments but developing them for submarine areas is challenging due to a lack of physical access to the study area. In response, submarine geomorphologic maps are used to provide geologic context and spatial information on landforms and related geo-hazards for risk management. These maps are generated from remotely sensed data, e.g. digital elevation models (DEMs), which introduce unique hurdles to submarine mapping. To address this issue, we produced a workflow for applying planetary geologic mapping methods to submarine data. Using this, we created an onshore-offshore geomorphologic map of the Christiana-Santorini-Kolumbo Volcanic Group, Greece. This product can be used to enhance hazard assessments on Santorini, which is a tourist hot-spot at high risk for volcanically- and seismically-induced hazards. We present this workflow as a tool for generating uniform geomorphologic map products that will aid natural hazard assessments of submarine environments.

Title: Flood-induced ground effects and flood-water dynamics for hydro-geomorphic hazard assessment: the 21–22 October 2019 extreme flood along the lower Orba River (Alessandria, NW Italy)
Abstract:
The knowledge of flood-induced ground effects and flood-water dynamics is a crucial issue for hydro-geomorphic hazards assessment and mapping, and thus for river management and land use planning. This paper and the related 1:15,000 map illustrate the lower Orba River (NW Italy) and its adjacent floodplain geomorphic response to the 21–22 October 2019 extreme flood. This was estimated to be a 500-years flood and caused severe damage to cultivated fields, structures, and infrastructures. The research is based on extensive post-flood field surveys, ante- and post-flood GNSS surveys, and aerial photographs interpretation. Intense in-channel sediment mobilization, bank retreats, and channelization structures collapses were surveyed. Furthermore, alluvial gullies, overbank deposits, crevasse splays, and surficial-erosion evidences were mapped over the floodplain, along with the flooded area (17.65 km2) and the flood-water features. A specific legend developed for flood-related and anthropogenic elements mapping in a typical lowland agricultural landscape with regulated rivers is proposed.

Title: Geomorphology of Cinque Terre National Park (Italy)
Abstract:
This work presents the outcomes of the geomorphological investigation and mapping carried out within the Cinque Terre National Park (38 km2), an outstanding example of a human-modified landscape. Over the centuries, the natural landscape of Cinque Terre has been almost completely modified by slope terracing for agricultural purposes. Extensive field surveys, topographic maps examination and aerial photographs interpretation have led to the production, within a GIS environment, of a new geomorphological map at 1:18,000 scale which outlines the main genesis and related landforms and deposits: (i) gravity-induced features, (ii) fluvial and runoff features, (iii) coastal features and (iv) anthropogenic features. Special attention has been given to the mapping of terraced slopes, which at present are extremely vulnerable to gravity-driven processes and running water because of extensive farmland abandonment. The output map is a fundamental basis for future activities of hazard assessment and zonation and the definition of land management strategies.

Title: Rockfall susceptibility along the regional road network of Aosta Valley Region (northwestern Italy)
Abstract:
Rockfalls are a major hazard in mountain areas. They can endanger human settlements and infrastructures, and, every year, cause multiple damage and victims. An investigation of those areas more susceptible to rockfall represents a key approach to improve the analysis and management of rockfall impact and consequences. The proposed procedure involves the study of occurred rockfall databases and thematic maps to compute a susceptibility map, by the employment of Analytical Hierarchic Process. The computation is focused on the road network of Aosta Valley Region (northwestern Italy) and its proximity. The model results highlight the importance of morphometric factors on the investigated phenomena. The outcomes of the analysis were also validated by comparing rockfall databases with the receiver operating characteristic curve, in order to confirm their reliability. The results of the procedure are a starting point for a detailed planning action in order to manage the hazard related to these phenomena.

Title: Geo-historical study for landslide hazard assessment in territory management: the Casaleto-Illica landslide in the Ceno Valley (Northern Apennines, Italy)
Abstract:
Landslides inventories are crucial documents for extrapolating the spatial distribution of landslides that occurred in the past. However, the production of landslide hazards maps also needs deepening the knowledge on the temporal distribution of landslide activity. In this regard, historical maps and archive documents represent important sources of data and information on territory evolution through time and especially on landslides occurrence. Nevertheless, these kinds of data sources are rarely considered as they often must be interpreted integrating different disciplines. This work shows how historical and geomorphological data on landslides occurrence in an area of the Northern Apennines can be integrated to produce a synthesis map. This synthesis map put together analogic and digital information allowing to delineate the landscape evolution, in terms of spatial and especially temporal changes occurred in the study area representing a tool that could be useful for the landslide hazard assessment in territory management.

Title: Rockfall hazards of Mount Pellegrino area (Sicily, Southern Italy)
Abstract:
A map derived by rockfall analysis at Mount Pellegrino is presented herein. The study area is affected by several phenomena of rockfall which caused numerous damage and a strong social and economic impact. Official reports and maps that give a general assessment of rockfall hazard are available in this respect, however, it would be advisable to provide a more specific cartographic support useful for land management and planning. The drafting of new maps showing the rockfall runout areas is an additional tool that may be used in conjunction with the existing maps as a means of risk mitigation and reduction. On the basis of geological, geomorphological, and geomechanical analysis and exploiting the information relating to a landslides inventory obtained by using both analytical and empirical methods, two different rockfall propagation areas were reconstructed. The final thematic map permit to appreciate the differences and similarities between the obtained runout areas.

Title: Large landslides in the Alpine valleys of the Giudicarie and Schio-Vicenza tectonic domains (NE Italy)
Abstract:
A comprehensive geomorphological and structural mapping of the largest landslides in the central-eastern Southern Alps (NE Italy) is presented. Their occurrence in this Alpine sector is discussed in relation with structural geological features (bedding and faults), which are largely conditioned by the Giudicarie and Schio-Vicenza regional fault systems. Tectonic rock damaging here coexists with high relief stored energy and active deformation, which is testified by present seismicity and cumulative earthquake moment release. Based on updated rock failure ages, slope activity is concentrated at 5-3 and 1 ka, as primarily enhanced by climatic and seismic controls. The analysis of predisposing and driving factors poses the question of present and future landslide hazards for these densely inhabited Alpine valleys.

Title: From traditional to modern ‘full coverage’ geomorphological mapping: a study case in the Chienti river basin (Marche region, central Italy)
Abstract:
The present work contributes to the process of modernization of traditional geomorphological mapping, a fundamental tool for the assessment of the hazard degree of natural processes for the planning, of works and infrastructures. Starting from a traditional and detailed geomorphological survey and through elaborations in a GIS environment, this paper presents a multiscalar cartography model, characterized by a ‘full coverage’ representation of landforms. These characteristics make it possible to upscale or downscale processes and landforms and to use different information levels created in a hierarchical form. The test site for the experimentation is located on the Adriatic side of central Italy and is represented by a small catchment, about 13 km2 large. All geomorphological features and information have been organized as elements and attributes within digital geomorphological information layers, following structured on a Digital Terrain Model derived from LiDAR; this new product is here proposed also as web-browser version.

Title: Optimal slope units partitioning in landslide susceptibility mapping
Abstract:
In landslide susceptibility modeling, the selection of the mapping units is a very relevant topic both in terms of geomorphological adequacy and suitability of the models and final maps. In this paper, a test to integrate pixels and slope units is presented. MARS (Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines) modeling was applied to assess landslide susceptibility based on a 12 predictors and a 1608 cases database. A pixel-based model was prepared and the scores zoned into 10 different types of slope units, obtained by differently combining two half-basin (HB) and four landform classification (LCL) coverages. The predictive performance of the 10 models were then compared to select the best performing one, whose prediction image was finally modified to consider also the propagation stage. The results attest integrating HB with LCL as more performing than using simple HB classification, with a very limited loss in predictive performance with respect to the pixel-based model.

Title: Geomorphology of Naples and the Campi Flegrei: human and natural landscapes in a restless land
Abstract:
Naples and its surroundings are a very young landscape, originated from 40 ka in response to strong and explosive volcanic processes, which created the Campi Flegrei, one of the largest volcanic fields of the world. Despite the repeated and continuous volcanic activity, this territory was selected for human settlements since Neolithic times and hosted some of the most important Greek and Roman towns in the Mediterranean area (e.g., Cuma, Parthenope, Neapolis, Baia and Puteoli). Geoarcheological data and historical chronicles testify to human coexistence with eruptions, bradyseismic ground motions, coastline changes, floods and landslides. With the aim of describing the geomorphological evolution of this area to a wide audience, including also non-experts, we constructed a synthetic geomorphological map of the area and sketches that synthesise the main stages of the geomorphological evolution of the historical centre of Naples and the coastal belt of the Gulf of Pozzuoli during the last millennia.

Title: The relation of spatio-temporal distribution of landslides to urban development (a case study from the Apulia region, Southern Italy)
Abstract:
The paper describes the multitemporal landslide inventory map prepared for the urban areas of Motta Montecorvino and Volturino, two municipalities located in the Southern Apennines (Apulia Region, Italy). These territories show a high propensity to landslides of different types and magnitude, which periodically interfere with the anthropic structures and infrastructures. For the study area, the spatial and temporal distribution of landslides is detected for the period between 1954 and 2003, through the visual interpretation of multiple sets of black and white digital stereoscopic aerial photographs at different scales. The analysis reveals locally high frequency of landslide occurrence and built-up areas on existing landslides, either on the body or on the crown areas. In particular, we show that over the years new residential areas were developed despite the presence of large old mass movements.

Title: The Turin fluvial terraces as evidence of the new Holocene setting of the Po River
Abstract:
A detailed geomorphological mapping of the Po River fluvial terraces into Turin was performed through a field survey. Although Turin is crossed by the Po River, most of the town is built on the extended alpine outwash fans linked to its tributaries (essentially fed by the Dora Riparia Basin), made by 20–60 m thick gravel with sand lenses, or on erosional terraces (T1 and T2) shaped by the Po River into these sediments. Only a small sector of the town is built on a narrow belt formed by thin soft sand deposited by the Po, forming depositional terraces (T3 and T4) entrenched in the alpine fans. This research allowed us to recognize three steps in the geological evolution of the area: the construction of the alpine fans (Last Glacial Maximum), the first flow of the Po River that erodes the tributary sediments (Lateglacial-Holocene) and the deposition by Po River (Holocene).

Title: Urban geomorphology of a historical city straddling the Tanaro River (Alessandria, NW Italy)
Abstract:
The integration of field surveys, bibliographic research and multitemporal analysis of historical maps, aerial photographs and satellite images in a GIS environment, allowed the current and past geomorphological features of the old city of Alessandria and its surrounding areas, NW Italy, to be identified and mapped. Their analysis provided an overview of the geomorphological evolution of the city that is strictly related to the historical vicissitudes occurred since the Middle Ages. Nowadays, the most representative landforms and deposits characterizing the urban landscape result from human interventions and are associated with ancient military facilities and infrastructures, a historical man-made channel network no longer recognizable, the Tanaro riverbed channelization, and the urban sprawl occurred from the second half of the nineteenth century onwards. This study represents a useful tool for urban planning and management and for raising the citizens’ awareness of the urban-landscape geomorphological features and evolution, and therefore the geo-hydrological risk.

Title: Large-scale geomorphology of the Entella River floodplain (Italy) for coastal urban areas management
Abstract:
This research presents a geomorphological map of the Entella River floodplain (scale 1:10,000), one of the largest and urbanized Ligurian Tyrrhenian flat area. The coastal floodplain suffered substantial modifications due to human activities since the latter half of the nineteenth century, which transformed the natural landscape into an anthropogenic environment. Fluvial, marine and anthropogenic geomorphological features have been investigated through a multi-temporal analysis and the reviewing, re-elaboration and summarization of previous geographical and geomorphological materials. An historical analysis has been performed to reconstruct morphological modifications and their correlation with anthropogenic interventions. The main geomorphological map includes a multi-temporal analysis of shoreline and major anthropogenic landforms. Small sketch maps on the geographical, geological and land use settings are also provided. The detailed geomorphological map can be used for urban and land planning, including the mitigation of the meteo- and geo-hydrological risk, which historically has dramatically influenced the Entella coastal floodplain.

Title: An integrated sea-land approach for analyzing forms, processes, deposits and the evolution of the urban coastal belt of Cagliari
Abstract:
Using a comprehensive cartographic product, this paper aims to illustrate the evolution of the urban geomorphological setting of the urban coastal belt of Cagliari (southern Sardinia, Italy, western Mediterranean Sea). The geomorphological map (1:14,000) presented herein summarizes different data (e.g. urban development, anthropogenic features, geomorphological elements, recent deposits, sedimentological distribution, hydrodynamics and ecological components) acquired through an integrated sea-land approach and a multidisciplinary-multitemporal investigation.The main significant environmental changes are linked to urbanization, the development of port infrastructures (embankments along the shoreline and the construction of the canal harbour), remediation work and filling activities, and the hardening of dune and beach systems and cliffs. These man-made interventions have increased the vulnerability of the shore zones to flood hazards and risks, which are linked to sea-level rises and global warming.

Title: Papia civitas gloriosa: urban geomorphology for a thematic itinerary on geocultural heritage in Pavia (Central Po Plain, N Italy)
Abstract:
The interaction between geomorphological processes and anthropogenic activities produces an impressive association of geomorphological and archaeological heritage in urban contexts. We analyzed the urban geomorphology and the geo- and cultural heritage in the town of Pavia (N Italy). The city is located in a strategic position, on a series of fluvial terraces where the Romans founded a colony, probably in the place of an Iron Age Gaul settlement. In Medieval Times and the Modern Era, Pavia sprawled outside the Roman walls, creating new urban areas and modifying the landscape. Geomorphological and GIS-spatial analyses integrated with anthropic landform surveying, archaeological data and historical cartography were performed. This multi-disciplinary approach allowed an investigation into how urban development was firstly adapted and then superimposed onto fluvial landforms. As a result, a flexible geocultural itinerary is proposed for linking geoheritage with cultural heritage, and for disseminating urban geomorphology key-concepts.

Title: Urban geomorphology of Genoa old city (Italy)
Abstract:
Field survey and geomorphological mapping in urban areas are difficult tasks, particularly those related to the recognition of natural landforms within cities. In this case, it is necessary to apply an integrated scientific approach by combining geomorphology with historical-geography. This paper presents the result of a multi-year survey carried out in the natural morphological amphitheatre where the historic centre of Genoa developed. Our research methods included field surveys in urban areas, interpretation of natural and anthropic landforms from maps and photographs, and analyses of the available borehole logs. As a result, we updated knowledge on urban geomorphology of Genoa old city. An original geomorphological legend has been adopted, including new entries for anthropogenic landforms, targeted at a better visual representation on the changes in the geomorphological landscape during more than one thousand years of urban development of the city. The geomorphological map of Genoa old city is presented as a useful tool for urban planning, as well as for an integrated cultural and landscape enhancement of the territory.

Title: Exposure to landslides in rural areas in Central Italy
Abstract:
Starting on 24th August 2016, Central Italy was struck by a six-month earthquake sequence that caused 303 victims and extensive major damages to urban areas and infrastructures, in some cases entire villages needed complete rebuilding. In this paper we present a map that portrays the overall susceptibility to multiple landslide types and the exposure to landslides of the rural-urban areas of the Castelsantangelo sul Nera Municipality, a typical village of the central Italian Apennine. The map is based on a procedure that ingests geomorphological data and models and groups the individual landslide susceptibility maps in a joint susceptibility and exposure map based on expert-defined criteria. The procedure has been applied to built-up and to undeveloped areas to highlight their exposure and was used as a tool for planning post-seismic reconstruction. We advise that such maps are used also as basic tool for ordinary urban planning.

Title: Geomorphology of the town of Rimini and surrounding areas (Emilia-Romagna, Italy)
Abstract:
Rimini is located at the southernmost end of the Po Plain, in Emilia-Romagna region. The geomorphology of the site mainly depends on the actions of the Marecchia River, coupled with marine processes in Holocene times. By creating a geomorphological map of the area, we highlight the factors that influenced the historical evolution of the town, relating them to anthropic features, with acmes in natural changes probably matching periods of climate deterioration. Many clues suggest that the Marecchia river pattern changed frequently and drastically during the climate deterioration of the Early Middle Ages, when the river’s name changed from Ariminus to Maricula (‘little sea’). The river frequently aggraded and overflowed during the climate deterioration of the Little Ice Age and until the early twentieth century. The urban geomorphological map, implemented according to the official ISPRA cartography criteria, has enabled us to highlight valuable elements for reconstructing the evolution of the town, that are now almost completely hidden by urbanisation.

Title: Hydrography and geomorphology of Antananarivo High City (Madagascar)
Abstract:
The city of Antananarivo is located in the central highlands of Madagascar, and is the largest urban center of the island. Considering the frequent heavy cyclonic rains frequently affecting the area, its geomorphological context is particularly prone to geo-hydrological hazards, such as landslides and flash floods, as recently proved during the disastrous events of the winters of 2015 and 2018. Field data and high-resolution remote sensing data interpretation (DEMs and satellite orthophotos) were combined in order to produce detailed hydrographic and geomorphological maps. The aim was to understand the processes acting in the Analamanga hill area, with special regards to the effect of human activity in modeling the natural landforms and exacerbating the geo-hydrological hazards. The obtained maps will provide management-planning tools to be used as a first step towards a risk reduction strategy in the Antananarivo historical urban center.

Title: Relics and transformation of former ponds in the urban environment of the historical region of Bohemia (Czech Republic)
Abstract:
The rapid expansion of urban areas has been a feature of the industrial age. Landscape features have been replaced or transformed to accommodate the needs of an increasingly urban society. Our study focuses on the disappearance or transformation of man-made ponds in the historic region of Bohemia in the Czech Republic. Using current and historic maps, orthophotography and a digital terrain model, we have identified over one thousand former ponds within the 34 cities that were selected. The original dam structures have been identified in association with 437 ponds, most of which have been used as embankments for transport infrastructure. In areas within the immediate vicinity of the cities, modern agriculture now utilizes the sites of former ponds. The Main Map shows the results of our survey, revealing the quantity and nature of this landscape change together with a detailed case study in the city of Pilsen.

Title: Anthropogenic landforms in an urbanized alluvial-coastal plain (Rapallo city, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper describes the anthropogenic landforms of the alluvial-coastal plain of Rapallo (Eastern Liguria, NW Italy). Since the second half of the nineteenth-century Rapallo experienced a progressive urban sprawl that became particularly intense after the Second World War and severely modified the former landforms. The identification and mapping of morphological changes was performed through a multi-temporal comparison of historical and recent maps and aerial photographs, an analysis of geo-thematic maps and urban planning documents, an interpretation of stratigraphic data from boreholes, and a field survey activity. The main anthropogenic interventions that shaped the urban landscape of Rapallo were riverbed diversions and channelization, excavations, fillings, and embankments construction along the shoreline. These elements highlight the relevant extent of the human imprint on the pristine environment. Furthermore, the identified anthropogenic geomorphological features, combined with the local physiographic and climatic features, increased flood and sea storm hazards and risks.

Title: Changes in the topography of Krakow city centre, Poland, during the last millennium
Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to reconstruct differences between the paleotopography and contemporary topography of the historic centre of Krakow city, Poland, during the last millennium. The paleotopography was reconstructed using published contour-line maps based on archaeological and geoengineering investigations and showing the roof of in situ fossil soil. The preliminary contour-line map represented a digital elevation model (DEM) base map. A DEM from aerial laser scanning (ALS DEM) shows the contemporary topography of Krakow city centre. The application of selected morphometric indices makes it possible to quantitatively describe changes in the spatial dimension with regard to altitude, relative heights, slope, and aspect classes. The analysis of the changes in the values of the elements of topography studied shows that, at the scale of the whole study area, a trend to flattening occurs, however this trend is locally balanced or overridden by an increase of surface unevenness.

Title: Geohazards and Geomorphological Setting in Poznań Urban Area, Poland
Abstract:
This paper presents the results of geohazards mapping and evaluation their role in the modifying of the urban landscape in Poznań, Poland. Information on geohazards specific to an urban lowland area (river floods, flash floods, mass movement, wind erosion) because of increasing climate change was compiled into a geomorphological map. The most spatially widespread geohazards in Poznań include: (a) on moraine hills/uplands: mass movement, wind erosion, and flash floods (4.9% of the city area); (b) on outwash plains: mass movement and flash floods (8.6% of the city area); (c) on fluvial landforms: mass movement and river floods (9.8% of the city area); (d) within plains of various origin: flash floods (7.6% of the city area). Mass movement affecting short but numerous (and locally steep) slopes, and flash floods are the most widespread geohazards (16 and 14%, of Poznań’s area, respectively). Extensive urbanisation especially the expansion of impervious surfaces increases the high risk of flash floods.

Title: Anthropogenic degradation of dunes within a city: a disappearing feature of the cultural landscape of Toruń (Poland)
Abstract:
The article presents changes in the topography of the Toruń area due to the degradation of dunes by human activity, and a reconstruction of their earlier location and morphology. The reconstruction was made on the basis of historical maps and plans from the end of the eighteenth century, as well as contemporary cartographic materials and digital terrain models (DTM). Analysis of the sources showed that the main period of anthropogenic degradation of dunes in the city was the second half of the twentieth century. The balance of changes in the share of dunes within city limits is estimated to be a decrease of about 26.5% over the study period, and by around 60.2% in the part that is presently urbanised.

Title: The Khartoum-Omdurman conurbation: a growing megacity at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile Rivers
Abstract:
Khartoum is one of the largest cities in Africa, located immediately south of the junction of the Blue and White Nile rivers in central Sudan. The growth of the Greater Khartoum-Omdurman conurbation arose – without a proper urban plan – from the agricultural wealth created through the completion of three dams, and mostly in the last three decades. Urban expansion was enabled by and helped to enhance the major agricultural expansion of the Gezira clay plains located to the south between the lower Blue and White Nile rivers. The region has been a focus of human settlement for at least 8,000 years, initially by semi-sedentary groups with a fishing-hunting-gathering lifestyle and later by Neolithic groups as shown by hundreds of archaeological sites. Today, Khartoum is a desert city, still very vulnerable to floods triggered by intense convectional storms. Such extreme events may become more common in future, representing a major geomorphological hazard. Moreover, uncontrolled urban and agricultural development is threatening most of the cultural heritage of the region.

Title: Urban geomorphology of the Vistula River valley in Warsaw
Abstract:
Using ALS LIDAR DEM and OpenStreetMap data we visualise in ArcGIS the geomorphic features of a large, lowland river which flows through the area impacted by urbanisation of a big city – the capital of Poland. We present on one map the main geomorphological surfaces and their exact boundaries: valley edge, terrace front and floodplain juxtaposed with buildings and the main transportation corridors. We identify convex aeolian and fluvial landforms: dunes, levees, sandy lobes including crevasse splays, ridges between swales, sandy bars, islands; and concave erosional landforms: floodplain channels, crevasse channels, oxbow lakes, palaeo-meanders, tributary channels, and chute channels. We draw implications for flood management, geo-archaeology geo-heritage conservation. We search for traces of extreme flood events in the Holocene, also on the higher terraces which the river developed by its deposition in the Pleistocene.

Title: Landform modifications within an intramontane urban landscape due to industrial activity, Wałbrzych, SW Poland
Abstract:
The city of Wałbrzych represents a geomorphic landscape, heavily modified by nearly three centuries of industrial activity, related mainly to coal mining. The key landforms due to human impact include spoil tips of various types, extensive levelled terrains, waste ponds, and railway embankments and cuts. Ground subsidence due to mining and water pumping have affected large areas. The map shows the distribution of anthropogenic landforms due to industrial activity, mainly coal mining, over an area of 85 km2. The thematic symbol set for the main map contains 22 classes of objects which show 13 distinctive types of landform modification due to construction, excavation, levelling and complex features. The Main Map is accompanied by inset maps showing generalized geology of the area, extent and magnitude of ground subsidence, as well as relief visualization.

Title: Geomorphological mapping and anthropogenic landform change in an urbanizing watershed using structure-from-motion photogrammetry and geospatial modeling techniques
Abstract:
Increasing urbanization and suburban growth in cities globally has highlighted the importance of land planning using detailed geomorphologic maps that depict anthropogenic landform changes. Such mapping provides information crucial for land management, hazard identification, and the management of the challenges arising from urbanization. The development and use of quantitative and repeatable methods to map anthropogenic and natural processes are required to advance the science of urban geomorphological mapping. This study investigated the application of geospatial modeling, structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetric methods and DEM differencing as means of quantifying anthropogenic landform changes from archival aerial imagery. Anthropogenic landforms were incorporated into a detailed geomorphologic map in an urbanizing watershed located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan suburb of Vienna, Virginia.

Title: The influence of the geological–geomorphological setting on human settlements and historical urban development: the case study of Isernia (southern Italy)
Abstract:
The map is aimed at illustrating the relationships between landscape evolution and human occupation in the Isernia basin since the Middle Pleistocene. We carried out a detail scale geological–geomorphological investigation integrated with archaeological data. Overall data suggest enhanced landscape modification related to the long-term evolution of the Isernia basin. Moreover, during the Middle Pleistocene an alluvial plain environment was present, as testified also by the famous Lower Palaeolithic site of Isernia La Pineta dated to ca. 600 ky. From 600 ky onwards, extensional tectonics and related valley incision reshaped the Isernia basin, with the formation of terraced surfaces and the deposition of a travertine plateau. Archaeological findings from the Lower Palaeolithic up to the Chalcolithic Age testify to pre- and protohistoric settlements on these surfaces. In historical times, Romans settled on the Isernia terrace ridge taking advantage of the outcropping travertines to support wall foundations and to extract construction material.

Title: Geomorphology of the historic centre of the Urbs (Rome, Italy)
Abstract:
Based on long-lasting multidisciplinary and multitemporal investigations, in 2016 the first geomorphological map of the central area of Rome was presented. It introduced innovative solutions for cartographic restitution of urban landforms. Under this work, the urban geomorphological analysis delved deeper, because the study focused on the smaller area of the Urbs, the ancient city centre that has been modified by human activities over millennia. The main goal of the new study was to verify if the 1:5000 scale survey could allow to improve the legend symbols, in order to better represent landforms from natural and anthropogenic processes in urban environment. Since the map scale was doubled compared with the previous and consequently the map area available was four times bigger, we were able to provide much more details. Moreover, results better highlighted the applicative significance of urban geomorphological maps as complementary tool for the assessment of natural hazards and risks.

Title: Hal Lindsey’s geopolitical future: towards a cartographic theory of anticipatory arrows
Abstract:
Hal Lindsey & Carlson’s, 1970 book, The Late Great Planet Earth, was the best-selling non-fiction book of the 1970s. In it, using the eschatology of premillennial dispensationalism commonly believed by American evangelicals, he conflates biblical prophecy with current geopolitical conflicts. He exploits the uncertainty of the nuclear age, civil rights movement, and ‘wars and rumours of wars’ in Asia by giving readers a certain explanation: Christ will soon return. Within his book, Lindsey provides two maps depicting his narrative for the battle of Armageddon. The maps are devoid of borders, and only show troop movement via thick black arrows. This article focuses on these arrows and their geopolitical function. The article argues, beyond symbolizing mobility, that arrows on maps also symbolize future anticipatory cartographic temporalities. It is theorized that Lindsey’s arrows potentiate and help actualize a narrow geopolitical future.

Title: Olympic medalists of the modern summer Olympic games 1896–2016
Abstract:
The aim of the work in the presented paper was the creation and subsequent distribution of a database of Olympic medallists of the modern Summer Olympic Games in the period 1896-2016. We examined historical statistics from the perspective of an individual approach; or more specifically, for each Olympic medallist as an individual athlete awarded with an Olympic medal. The results are presented on a map showing the number of medallists in each country. In total, we recorded 33152 Olympic medals in the database altogether, which were won by a total of 24287 athletes. These represented a total of 149 countries, including those that no longer exist due to geopolitical changes in the last century. All medals awarded at the level of states and individual sports are displayed in a detailed preview on the website, which is an integral part of the submitted paper.

Title: Beyond land use mix, walkable trips. An approach based on parcel-level land use data and network analysis
Abstract:
Land use mix is one of the cornerstones for urban sustainability, in opposition to functional segregation and zoning policies. Land use mix is a prerequisite for urban proximity dynamics, healthier lifestyles and public space vitality. However, methodological shortcomings to its measurement remain and are responsible for the unexpected weak association with pedestrian activity. This study puts forward a novel method to reframe, measure and map land use mix as ‘walkable trips’, a closer approach to its benefits based on functional and spatial complementarity. The method draws on newly available cadastral microdata at the parcel-level that, combined with trip generation rates and network analysis tools, enable a detailed assessment and mapping of potential for walkable trips, as well as a proxy to the spatial patterns of urban vitality, in line with the principle of the 15-minute city. The method is applied to the case of the Madrid metropolitan area.

Title: The amazing travels of a great naturalist to Sarawak (Malaysia): Odoardo Beccari’s wanderings in Borneo, 1865–1868
Abstract:
Odoardo Beccari (1843–1920) is considered to be one of the more important Italian naturalists of the nineteenth century, in particular for his pioneering explorations of the Malaysian Archipelago. During this period, he collected many thousands of botanical, zoological and ethno-anthropological specimens which are now conserved in natural history museums. Based on this conserved material, hundreds of species new to science have been described. In this study, we accurately reconstruct the travel itineraries of Beccari’s first trip to Borneo (Sarawak, 1865–1868). We link modern locations to the names he used, which were Italian transliteration of the local names of the time. We place these locations in time sequence on up-to-date georeferenced topographic maps. We expect our study to be useful to botanists, zoologists, anthropologists, curators of natural history museums and to nature conservators, as it provides precious information on the fauna and flora of Sarawak in the 1860s.

Title: Who are the voters and where are they? Using spatial statistics to analyse voting patterns in the parliamentary elections of the Czech Republic
Abstract:
The mapping of election results has long been a popular topic among cartographers, journalists, data scientists and infographic authors. However, their work usually concludes with simple visualizations of a single election, and in most cases only the winning party is represented. Can we tell the story of a political party over two decades via maps? What were the reasons for the rise and fall of such party; in our case the Czech Social Democrats? Moreover, how were the changes in voting patterns spatially distributed and manifested? With our paper, we explore voting patterns as well as the voting history of specific parties related to the fate of Social Democrats in the Czech Republic in several national elections from 2006 to 2017. We would like to invite other political scientists to explore the election results in their countries, not just over time, but also in space, and ideally via maps.

Title: NDS: an interactive, web-based system to visualize urban neighborhood dynamics in United States
Abstract:
NDS is an interactive, web-based system, for the visualization of multidimensional neighborhood dynamics across the 50 largest US Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) from 1980 to 2010 (http://neighborhooddynamics.dreamhosters.com). Four different visualization tools are developed: (1) an interactive time slider to show neighborhood classification changes for different years; (2) multiple interactive bar charts for each variables of each neighborhood; (3) an animated neighborhood’s trajectory and sequence cluster on a self-organizing map (SOM) output space; and (4) a synchronized visualization tool showing maps for four time stamps at once. The development of this interactive online platform for visualizing dynamics overcomes many of the challenges associated with communicating changes for multiple variables, across multiple time stamps, and for a large geographic area when relying upon static maps. The system enables users to select and dive into details on particular neighborhoods and explore their changes over time.

Title: Interactive web mapping of geodemographics through user-specified regionalisations
Abstract:
The analysis of spatial distributions is possible using a broad spectrum of new and existing digital data sources. Challenges can arise with respect to use of areal units that are both appropriate and compatible. In addition, regional statistics are prone to scale and aggregation effects that manifest the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP). This paper introduces a web mapping system that allows users to experiment with standard and bespoke zonal schemes in the geodemographic analysis of regional patterns. We describe the architecture and design of the platform and its associated data processing techniques before demonstrating its value through user case scenarios. Using the segregation index as an example, we demonstrate how the use of interactive maps can assist in revealing the scale-dependent nature of the index. Our web mapping system can be employed to help geography students, policymakers and researchers better understand the underlying geodemographic structure of functional regions.

Title: Spatial distribution of criminal events in Lithuania in 2015–2019
Abstract:
The presented map poster represents statistics for 3.46 million events reported to the police in Lithuania in 2015–2019. For eight types of events (violent crime, theft, property crime, economic crime, infringement of public policy, drug-related crime, traffic accidents, various other events), two maps at a scale of 1:3,000,000 are presented. They demonstrate the values of location quotient and the main insights into the dynamics of crime over the five-year timeframe covered by the project. Two maps at scale 1:2,000,000 show the distribution of five types of events that are directly related to the safety of persons – totalling 1.67 million records. One of the larger scale maps depicts the relative crime rate, separately for densely and sparsely populated areas. The second map shows the relative crime risk surface. The maps enable a visual analysis of the most problematic areas in Lithuania and can enable deeper further investigation.

Title: A community farm maps back! Disputes over public urban farmland in Calgary, Alberta
Abstract:
Geographers, cartographers, and related social scientists are increasingly locating the (geo)politics of the vernacular within volunteered geographic information, the geoweb, and other digital technologies that enable the production of new maps. We instead focus our attention on ‘old’ cartographic practices. We contend that map-based community activism and geopolitics continue to occur in ways that much research has left behind in its shifted attention toward digital geographies. We conceptualize vernacular counter-mapping, as practiced by Grow Calgary a community urban farm located on public land, by focusing on vernacular cartographic method and mode. We argue first that the vernacular exists not just in the production of new maps but also in the practice of altering and re-narrating existing maps, and, second, that the vernacular exists not just in the new modes of VGI and distributed/crowdsourced data production, but in the mode of leveraging official, static state maps to make legible situated knowledges.

Title: Mapping cross-scale economic impacts of storm surge events: considerations for design and user testing
Abstract:
Cartographic display of cross-scale phenomena and user-centered design are considered through a discussion of the development of an interactive web map depicting local-to-national economic impacts of hurricane storm surge events in Galveston Bay, Texas. Map development and design (as informed by stakeholder focus groups) is described, including approaches to presenting complex, cross-scale impacts of surge events across multiple years and scenarios. Particular consideration is given to how designs may communicate complexity without overly taxing users’ mental and perceptual resources (measured via NASA task-load index) or outstripping their mapping/domain expertise. The map produced uses linked map views to communicate multiple, cross-scale storm surge impacts. The production process and associated user testing highlighted the importance of matching tool complexity to users’ needs and levels of expertise, including through the use of tiered interface design. Optimizing the design of such maps to meet users’ needs is essential to fostering public hazard literacy.

Title: Bivariate choropleth map documenting land cover intensity and population growth in Poland 2006–2018
Abstract:
Bivariate choropleth mappings are proposed in this paper as an effective GIS-based approach that supports the monitoring of Sustainable Development Goals, listed in the Agenda 2030, namely build-up area expansion and population dynamics, the Tier II indicator for SDG 11 (11.3.1). This paper focuses on the application of a multidimensional approach to mapping land use efficiency in Poland between 2006 and 2018. The resulting data are assigned to counties and visualized as choropleth maps categorizing the counties based on the strength of land cover intensity and population growth. The proprietary class interdependence index (CII) based on the relationship between these two variables is used to evaluate class ranges of the bivariate choropleth map. The proposed cartographic presentation might be a useful and important tool in SDG monitoring as it provides information about the relation between population and land consumption rate, portraying the most correlated data in classes along the diagonal.

Title: Porosity and fragmentation of the block in the city core: a Nolli’s innovation perspective
Abstract:
Urban centrality demands building space that erodes and implodes blocks in the most accessible places. Nolli’s map made in 1748 was the first known graphic reference that visualised the phenomenon. The map and its contemporary interpretation are the starting point for this paper. The research has graphic support from existing maps that used Nolli’s idea to represent those cities, and other maps created ad hoc. It is argued how territories are divided into small units that fold and wrinkle, drawing the conclusion that they do it to (i) find the maximum useful surface area in the minimum amount of space; (ii) concentrate activity; (iii) enable interaction; (iv) optimise resources; (v) accelerate processes; and (vi) cure urban diseases. Methodologically, this is done in two large sections, one showing erosion, division and fragmentation of the central urban layouts, and another emphasising the importance of architecture extending urban layouts to other directions.

Title: Mapping disruptive long-term scenarios using a participatory approach
Abstract:
Although mapping long-term scenarios can be considered crucial in decision-making, its inclusion in planning processes remains a challenge. This paper aims to gain insights into this by showing a participatory mapping method that creates a dialogue and interaction space between stakeholders and experts. The research was based on three 2050 visions, taking as a case study the eastern sector of the metropolitan area of Madrid, Spain. The method consisted of conducting a participatory mapping workshop involving urban planners, transport engineers, environmental consultants, and property developers. Those experts mapped transformations in urban land use for each 2050 scenario. The results evidenced differences between the three 2050 scenarios, highlighting the usefulness of the participatory mapping workshop to represent the amount and nature of growth in urban land use and organisation of the transport network.

Title: Mapping foreign immigration in Spain (1998–2018). Trends and spatial patterns
Abstract:
The last 20 years of sociodemographic history in Spain cannot be interpreted without considering the impact of foreign immigration, numerous publications have shown. The aim of this article is to contribute a clear spatial representation of migrants in Spain by combining statistical and mapping methods. Maps showing the rate of variation of immigrant populations point to the existence of an uneven distribution around Spain, during both the period of economic growth and the years when migratory flows waned. On the other hand, the immigrant clusters show that certain geographic areas in Spain attract specific groups; the extent of their presence can be seen on density maps based on location coefficients. In short, this article provides an understanding of foreign immigration in Spain, which other approaches have not achieved.

Title: Map labeling with the International Phonetic Alphabet: the example of the Middle East
Abstract:
The main aim of the study presented in this paper was to apply a new method to the creation of map typography. We focused on the original pronunciations of geographical names (endonyms), which is viewed as one of the important attributes of geographical objects.The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), which was devised by the International Phonetic Association as a standardized way of representing the sounds of spoken language, was used to capture pronunciation.The advantages and disadvantages of using pronunciation in maps were analyzed and compared with other approaches to writing names. The maps created as part of the study demonstrated the practical limitations of using the IPA in cartography. For the using of the IPA for map typography, the Middle East region was chosen because of the large number of different languages (using different scripts) spoken in it.A map was created whose features are described by means of transcriptions of the pronunciation of geographical names in the original language. The main map also incorporates a second map, which describes the same geographical features in English, written using the IPA.It proved to be possible to use pronunciation written in IPA characters for map descriptions, though certain limitations apply. This method may be used in cartography as a supplement to other ways of writing names.

Title: Population movements based on mobile phone location data: the Czech Republic
Abstract:
The paper presents new approaches to the visualisation of origin–destination flows, in which all three basic parameters of flows between pairs of geographic objects are cartographically expressed simply and clearly: the length of flows, their intensity, and the proportional distribution of both directions between pairs of objects (polarisation of flows). The data on population movements based on mobile phone location are used as the input information, which were collected from the whole territory of the Czech Republic. Apart from the visualisation of origin–destination flows, the paper addresses the issue of the transformation of these data through the application of two different interaction measures. The transformed flows are also cartographically visualised and the functional regions based on the respective interaction measures are used as base maps.

Title: Examining spatio-temporal mobility patterns of bike-sharing systems: the case of BiciMAD (Madrid)
Abstract:
Over the past decades, Bike-Sharing Systems have been implemented in hundreds of cities all around the world. During this time, numerous academic studies have been published with analyses from different perspectives. The aim of this study is to build upon this research by bringing together a spatial and a temporal analysis of the cycling flow of BiciMAD, the Madrid Bike-Sharing System. By combining over 21 million GPS records and various maps the study visually explores cycling mobility patterns across the city on three different temporal scales: over the course of the day, during working days or weekends and over the course of a whole year to provide a better understanding of the season-dependent demand. The study also reveals the most important flows between origin-destination pairs and uncovers the radically different spatio-temporal travel patterns of frequent users and occasional users.

Title: Combining walking accessiblity measures to map spatial inequalities
Abstract:
Evaluating spatial inequalities using a single walking accessibility measure is quite challenging. In response, the paper proposes combining two accessibility measures (real and potential) to provide additional insights into the identification and mapping of spatial inequalities. The municipality of Getafe in the Madrid Metropolitan Area, Spain serves as a case study. A questionnaire, administered via face-to-face interviews, recorded the resident’s walking preferences for reaching in-store retail. A gravity-based model was used to calculate real and potential accessibilities, which were combined to map four accessibility places that originate spatial inequalities: advantageous, moderately advantageous, moderately disadvantageous, and disadvantageous. The results suggest that potential accessibility values are higher than real accessibility values, and the final map shows the city centre residents (mostly seniors) benefit from the advantageous accessibility places. Disadvantageous places are mainly found in the city’s periphery, where younger people live.

Title: Changes in the settlement network in the Noteć Forest (Poland) in a historical perspective
Abstract:
The article concerns the utilisation of existing cartographic materials and spatial databases for an analysis and visualisation of changes in land usage which occurred in the Noteć Forest. From the year 1700, small settlements began to spring up on these lands, established on the basis of the so-called ‘olęderskie law' (‘Dutch’ law, specific name to Poland). Geopolitical, and later economic conditions caused these colonies to lose importance and gradually die off. Presently, these are in the main ruins. The land use changes are visible on maps which were drawn in various years. These changes have been researched using numerous different cartographic sources and visualised for both the entire Noteć Forest and selected townships, with particular emphasis being given to Radusz. The study makes use of archival and contemporary Polish topographic maps and archival German Messtischblatter maps.

Title: Availability and accessibility of urban green spaces: the case of the urban zone of Queretaro Metropolitan Area, Mexico
Abstract:
The increase and preservation of the socio-environmental functions of urban green spaces (UGS) through suitable management is part of the actions of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. UGS offer benefits to the population in function of their quantity, availability and accessibility. Therefore, we developed a methodology to measure and classify UGS within the urban center of the Queretaro Metropolitan Area in central Mexico. We established one UGS category: public green space and polygon digitization was conducted at 1:1000 scale through on-screen digitization using visual image interpretation. Spatial analysis was carried out in terms of (1) extent (urban green space area); (2) density of UGS (m2 of green area/city block; and (3) accessibility to UGS (access for the population at block level as a unit of analysis). Furthermore, cartographic accuracy assessment was conducted in order to validate the generated data. The results show not only the spatial distribution of UGS in the study area but also their spatial relations with the population, in terms of accessibility and density measured against conventional standards. These results may contribute to urban planning regarding UGS, for the improvement of their functions and contributions to the cities’ populations.

Title: Topoclimatic zoning of continental Chile
Abstract:
In this study, the topoclimates of continental Chile are mapped. The mapping involves the identification of homogeneous zones based on the relationships between the climatic variables that characterize a location and the topography that influences the spatial behavior of these variables. The climatic and topographical zoning of the study area is conducted using a statistical methodology based on a combination of principal component analysis and cluster analysis. The climate, topography, and topoclimatic zoning yield 20, 8, and 96 clusters, respectively. Maximum topoclimatic variability is identified in sectors with mountain ranges and intermediate depression (especially in valley areas), and minimum variability is detected in the coastal sector. Furthermore, only one of the topoclimatic units has an area larger than 50,000 km2, whereas 46.8% of the units have surface areas below 2,000 km2.

Title: Geology of the Debussy quadrangle (H14), Mercury
Abstract:
Mercury’s Debussy Quadrangle (H14) lies between 0–90° E and 22.5–65° S. Here we use MESSENGER data to produce the first geological map of this quadrangle at a scale of 1:3,000,000, based on linework completed at a scale of 1:300,000. We distinguish crater units and plains units. For compatibility with historic and recent maps of other Mercury quadrangles, and with the first global geological map (Main Map), we have made two versions of the map, with craters classified according to a 3-class and a 5-class degradation system. We distinguish additional units for the materials related to the Rembrandt impact basin. We subdivide the plains between the craters into three units: Smooth, Intermediate and Intercrater Plains, which represent different generations of plains formation. At least some of the Smooth Plains postdate the Rembrandt impact event.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Aladağlar, central Taurus Mountains, Turkey
Abstract:
The Aladağlar is a mountain range located in the central Taurus Mountains (37°45′ N, 35°15′ E) along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, dominated by geomorphic features intervened by karstic and glacial landscapes. The Aladağlar, also known as The Alps of Turkey, is one of the most popular places for mountaineering. Here, we present a comprehensive glacial geomorphological map of the mountain. Despite increased recent research, understanding of the spatial distribution of glacial landforms is still poorly known. To provide a framework for future research, we present a 1:50,000-scale glacial geomorphological map, covering an area of ∼1200 km2. Our map is based on remote sensing and detailed field observations on geomorphological imprints of glacial erosional and depositional landforms, such as glacial valleys, cirques, arêtes, horns, debris-covered glaciers, moraines and outwash fans. Our glacial geomorphological map could be used as a base for future dating and glacier reconstructions efforts.

Title: Geology of late-Variscan Sàrrabus pluton (south-eastern Sardinia, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper deals with the geological mapping of the late-Variscan Sàrrabus pluton, (south-eastern Sardinia), a shallow multiple and composite igneous complex dominated by several generations of granodiorites, metaluminous and peraluminous granites and repeated pulses of mantle-derived mafic magmas. The map has been compiled based on geological surveys at 1:10,000 and 1:5,000 scales, assisted by in situ gamma-ray spectrometry and detailed petrographic investigations. Granite-related ore deposits have been also reported. The emplacement age of the pluton can be constrained by U/Pb dating on zircons of Cala Regina granodiorite, yielding an age of 286 ± 9 Ma. The resulting scenario documents a bimodal magmatism controlled by an EW trending shear zone, followed by the shallower emplacement of several pulses of independent granite magmas.

Title: The geology of the Capiru Group, Curitiba Terrane, Southern Ribeira Belt (Brazil)
Abstract:
The Capiru Group is a Neoproterozoic metasedimentary unit that crops out in the Curitiba terrane, Southern Ribeira Belt, Brazil. A detailed geological mapping of this unit was performed during 2016 to 2020. Original interpretations and the new geological map were compiled and integrated with the past field data of the state (MINEROPAR) and national (CPRM) geological surveys, and to unpublished and recent published studies. This compilation represents the most updated synthesis of the Capiru Group, and provides the basis for recognition and individualization of lithostratigraphic units. The lithostratigraphic units reflect depositional/tectonic events, which involved: a) passive continental margin deposition on the Curitiba microplate, b) compressional episodes during the Brasiliano - Pan African Orogeny (Late Neoproterozoic), c) extensional processes that followed the collision stage (Cambrian), and finally, the d) extensional tectonics related to the Gondwana break-up during the Lower Cretaceous, that culminated to the Proto-Atlantic Ocean opening.

In this work, we present new Bouguer and residual Bouguer anomaly maps of the Central Pyrenees calculated from 3590 stations, of which 1141 are new observations acquired from surveys performed between 2018 and 2019. The most prominent feature of the Bouguer anomaly is the long wavelength elongated minimum in its central part that continues to the W and ends towards the E with a positive gradient that seems to envelope the minimum. Other short and medium wavelength minima are superimposed, some placed over the batholithic outcrops. In the residual Bouguer, the main relative minima are related with outcrops of batholiths or interpreted buried granites except for the prominent minimum South of La Maladeta Granite, associated with Triassic evaporitic accumulations. These maps (shown on the Main Map) will help characterizing the Permo-Carboniferous batholiths of the Central Pyrenees, in particular La Maladeta and Andorra Mont-Louis granites in order to add constraints to the mechanism of their emplacement.The graphical abstract shows the workflow from geological mapping to the residual Bouguer anomaly. The aim of the acquisition, processing and interpretation of the gravity data is to investigate the geometry and physical properties in depth of the geological structures, some of them outcropping and cartographied on the geological map.

Title: Miocene to present-day tectonic control on the relief of the Duero and Ebro basins confluence (North Iberia)
Abstract:
This article presents a morpho-structural map at 1:50,000 scale of the confluence area between three regional units: (1) the Burgalesa Platform (Mesozoic; Cantabrian Mountains), (2) the Duero Basin and (3) the Ebro Basin (Cenozoic foreland basins). The map covers an area of 527 km2 in north Iberia. Additionally, structural lineaments such as joints are well preserved and documented in the Upper Cretaceous sediments of the Burgalesa Platform, represented by four main sets regarding their orientation. The foreland basins are incised in Miocene materials by rivers that have developed a complex drainage system controlling the deposition of the most recent alluvial sediments, following the four structural orientations. The map, together with the analysis of orthophotos and a Digital Terrain Model, and outcrop-scale observations, have led us to document the influence of the Miocene to present-day compression and strike-slip tectonic regime on the configuration of the drainage system and the geomorphological features.

Title: Geomorphology of Ulu Peninsula, James Ross Island, Antarctica
Abstract:
This study presents a 1:25,000 geomorphological map of the northern sector of Ulu Peninsula, James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula. The map covers an area of c. 250 km2, and documents the landforms and surficial sediments of one of the largest ice-free areas in Antarctica, based on remote sensing and field-based mapping. The large-scale landscape features are determined by the underlying Cretaceous sedimentary and Neogene volcanic geology, which has been sculpted by overlying ice masses during glacial periods. Paraglacial and periglacial features are superimposed upon remnant glacial features, reflecting the post-glacial evolution of the landscape. The study area can be broadly separated into three geomorphological sectors, according to the dominant contemporary Earth-surface processes; specifically, a glacierised southern sector, a paraglacial-dominated eastern sector, and a periglacial-dominated central/northern sector. This map provides a basis for further interdisciplinary research, and insight into the potential future landscape evolution of other parts of the Antarctic Peninsula as the climate warms.

Title: Geology of the Piemonte-Ligurian units of the Urtier area (Northwestern Alps – Italy)
Abstract:
Detailed geological mapping of the Urtier Valley in the Western Alps allowed to realize a new geological map 1:10.000 in scale. In the mapped area, a complete nappe stack of the axial part of the Alpine belt crops out. The study focused on the two units derived from the Piemonte-Ligurian oceanic domain, Broillot and Bardonney units, for which, in addition to the classic petrographic and structural considerations, a lithostratigraphic approach was applied. The lithostratigraphic approach, combined with structural analysis, led to reconstruct a nappe stacking significantly different from that generally proposed for the Western Alps. In the Urtier Valley in fact, the eclogite facies units are at the top of the nappe pile, overlapped on the blueschist facies units. This anomalous stacking order could be explained by interpreting the study area as an inverted limb of a regional fold with the eclogite facies units at the core.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Kola Peninsula and Russian Lapland
Abstract:
At present, there remains uncertainty surrounding the glacial history of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet on the Kola Peninsula and Russian Lapland, northwest Arctic Russia. This is attributed to the lack of high-resolution ice sheet-scale geomorphological data in the region. This paper presents 245,997 landforms in a new high-resolution, glacial geomorphological map of the Kola Peninsula and Russian Lapland. Individual landforms were mapped from relief-shaded renditions of the 2 m resolution ArcticDEM alongside 3 m resolution PlanetScope Ortho Scene data in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Digital mapping was accompanied by field mapping in selected areas. The map, which is presented at a scale of 1: 675,000, will form the basis of a palaeoglaciological reconstruction of northwest Arctic Russia that will inform ice sheet dynamics – at both a regional- and ice sheet-scale – and provide an important framework through which numerical ice sheet models can be constrained.

Title: Geology of the Magura Nappe, south-western Gorce Mountains (Outer Carpathians, Poland)
Abstract:
The studied area, located in the south-western part of the Gorce Mountains, is built of flysch deposits representing the Krynica and Bystrica Subunits of the Magura Nappe. Here, in the Late Cretaceous–Early Miocene part of the lithostratigraphic succession of the Krynica Subunit, four formations containing several members were distinguished, whereas in the Bystrica Subunit, only one Middle Eocene–Oligocene formation was identified. The Turbacz and Kudłoń Thrust Sheets in the tectonic structure of the Krynica Subunit and the southernmost fragment of the Tobołów Thrust Sheet in the Bystrica Subunit are prominent. Several folds occur in the studied area. Numerous transverse and oblique faults are also present. The result of the present geological investigations in the study area was the creation of a geological map of the Magura Nappe deposits in the Gorce Mountains. In general, a high-resolution digital elevation model contributed significantly to the progress of this geological research.

Title: Modelling and simulation of a lava flow affecting a shore platform: a case study of Montaña de Aguarijo eruption, El Hierro (Canary Islands, Spain)
Abstract:
Recent subaerial volcanism at El Hierro Island (Canary Islands, Spain) consists of monogenetic volcanic fields. This volcanism generated cinder cones, tephra air-fall deposits, and lava flows. The lava flows reach several kilometres in length extending through shore platforms and, sometimes, penetrating under the sea level. The volcanic landforms of El Hierro convert it into a natural laboratory for topographic and morphometric modelling and lava flow simulations. We perform the modelling and simulation of the Montaña de Aguarijo eruption, a cinder cone at the NE rift. The associated lava flow channelled through a V-shaped ravine until reaching a cliff, where formed cascades. The flow spread at the cliff base over a platform before reaching the sea modifying the coastline. Different maps were designed to show the results, including the geomorphologic reconstruction of the area affected by this eruption and the lava flow simulations obtained with the Q-LavHA plugin.

Title: Disentangling the stratigraphic architecture of the Rivoli-Avigliana end moraine system (Western Alps, NW Italy)
Abstract:
The Rivoli-Avigliana end moraine system (Italian Western Alps) hosts an important stratigraphic archive of Pleistocene glaciations. A new geological map provides a 3D architecture of the system that reveals a complex architecture of glacial, alluvial and lacustrine units. Six glacial units were recognized. During the deposition of the four older glacial units (Early-Middle Pleistocene) the morphology of the valley outlet had a different drainage pattern from the present, with the presence of large lakes. From the penultimate glaciation to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) the piedmont lobe was confined within the valley, never extending towards the alluvial Po Plain. The LGM is characterized by two glacial advances and four distinct recessional phases during the Lateglacial. The presence of a bedrock inselberg affected the flow of the glacier front, which should have had weak erosive strength as shown by the preservation of lacustrine deposits below the glacial units.

Title: Geomorphic effects caused by heavy rainfall in the Corigliano-Rossano area (NE Calabria, Italy) on 12 August 2015
Abstract:
The surroundings of Corigliano and Rossano (NE Calabria) were damaged by a short-lasting and localized rainstorm on 12 August 2015, when more than 230 mm of rain in sixteen hours caused damage exceeding 100 million euros. In the Map, shallow landslides triggered by the event are shown at 1:50,000 scale, together with areas affected by soil erosion and flooding, and most damaged sites; historical landslides are also mapped. The main slope-stability controlling factors are mapped at 1:200,000 scale, and an event-based geomorphological landslide inventory of the most damaged sector (Citrea basin) is provided at 1:10,000 scale. Isohyets (cumulative over 16 h), as obtained by interpolating rain-gauge and weather-radar data by Kriging techniques, are shown together with the density of event landslides. Estimated rain maxima (ca. 506 mm in 16 h) by far overcome measured ones, and ground effects well fit the sectors heavily stricken by the storm.

Title: Forest accessibility, Madonie mountains (northern Sicily, Italy): implementing a GIS decision support system
Abstract:
Valorisation and sustainable exploitation of woody biomass from cultivation interventions might be an important opportunity to track alternative development trails for rural communities in natural protected areas. The governance of Mediterranean protected areas is characterized by overlapping, sometimes conflicting institutions, stakeholders and regulations, causing negative impacts on decision-making processes. We present an open source GIS-based decision support system tool for mapping forest accessibility and optimizing woody biomass extraction. Two models were implemented to support forest managers during the decision-making process in designing and managing wood-energy supply chains. The optimal grid resolution to run the models was determined via a Least Cost Path analysis. The models were executed at different scales, performing satisfactorily when distances between recorded and modelled paths were lower than the grid unit. The higher the scale, the more the percentile of distances lower than the grid unit. The models were validated in Madonie mountains, Sicily, Italy.

Title: Hydrochemistry of the Tuxertal, NW Tauern Window, Austria: water use and drinking water supply in an alpine environment
Abstract:
In the Tuxertal (Tux Valley, Austria), like in other Alpine regions, drinking water supply is predominantly organised privately or in cooperatives from nearby springs. Currently used springs may become unsuitable in future due to increasingly strict legal limits and changes in the water balance caused by climate change. In this study, the Tuxbach catchment area (135 km2) is examined by a reference-date measurement. Within 11 days, 153 springs and creeks were sampled to evaluate their appropriateness. All results of critical parameters for the drinking water supply are summarized and displayed in a hydrochemical map. Locally the groundwater composition differs due to various changes of petrographic units. Analysis results are statistically evaluated and characteristic values derived from six rock types. It becomes evident that apart from ammonium and arsenic, legal limits are mostly met. Low discharge rates present the major challenge for drinking water supply in future.

Title: Deciphering large-scale superposed fold systems at shallow crustal levels in collision zones: insights from the Marguareis Massif (southwestern Alps)
Abstract:
We present and discuss the results of a field-based approach including accurate geological mapping and micro- to map-scale structural analysis to highlight the finite strain pattern recorded in Marguareis Unit, a massif deformed at shallow crustal levels at the boundary between Maritime and Ligurian Alps. We describe superposed tectonic structures developed under low-grade metamorphic conditions during the Alpine collision and nowadays exceptionally well recorded in the area of interest. We demonstrate that the structural frame of the Marguareis Unit results from superposition of fourfold systems, later segmented, but without significant displacements, by brittle faults.

Title: Geomorphological features of Favignana Island (SW Italy)
Abstract:
We present a large scale (1:10,000) geomorphological map of Favignana Island, in which landforms were recognized and genetically categorized based on analysis of stereoscopic aerial photographs and freely available satellite images, complimented by a few validation tests performed in the field. The map was created following the guidelines of the Italian Geomorphological Working Group for landforms symbolic representation. This includes an immediate visual differentiationof the genetic character and the state of activity of landforms. Favignana, belonging to the Egadi Archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea (SW Italy), is a mid-sized (ca. 20 km2) mostly carbonatic island. The marine protected area surrounding the island represents the main attraction for tourists. Through this map, it was possible to highlight the richness and diversity, in terms of abundance and peculiarity of landforms, that characterizes the Island. This peculiarity makes of Favignana an excellent candidate for the exploitation of its geoheritage for touristic purposes.

Title: Morpho-sedimentological and dynamic patterns in a ria type estuary: the Belon estuary (South Brittany, France)
Abstract:
Ria-type estuaries correspond to complex systems at the transition between the continental and the marine domains, within a context of rocky coastlines. The Belon Estuary, in South Brittanny (France), is described as a typical ria-type estuary characterised by complex morpho-sedimentological facies, strongly influenced by the South Brittany’s geological framework. The characterisation of the morpho-sedimentological patterns is sourced from recent multi-data acquisition with acoustic remote sensors coupled to ground truth data. The Main Map synthesises the main results of this study concerning the hydro-morphological and sedimentological characterisation of the Belon estuary. This study adds up to former studies over ria-type estuaries and lay out the base for future studies on the hydrodynamic of complex rias, as the Belon estuary.

Title: Volcanic geology of the easternmost sector of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, Mexico
Abstract:
This work presents the volcanic geology of the easternmost sector of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, including the Serdán-Oriental basin and Cofre de Perote-Citlaltépetl volcanic range, two contrasting Quaternary volcanic fields. The first comprises dominant monogenetic volcanism of bimodal composition including isolated rhyolitic domes and tuff rings, basaltic andesite maar volcanoes, cinder and lava cones, and an active caldera complex (Los Humeros). The second is dominated by large composite polygenetic volcanoes of andesitic-dacitic composition, including the shield-like compound Cofre de Perote volcano, La Gloria and Las Cumbres complexes, and the active Citlaltépetl stratovolcano. Mapping units include a pre-volcanic basement made of metamorphic (Paleozoic), and sedimentary (Jurassic-Cretaceous); intrusive (Miocene) rocks; multiple basaltic-andesitic lava flows and rhyolitic domes; volcaniclastic sequences (debris avalanches and lahars; and pyroclastic deposits (block-and-ash flows, ignimbrites, fallouts, and surges) (Miocene-Holocene). This map provides a comprehensive view of the highly diverse volcanism, which may reference for future research work.

Title: Geomorphology of the southwest Sinus Sabaeus region: evidence for an ancient hydrological cycle on Mars
Abstract:
We have produced a 1:650,000 scale geomorphological map of the southwest Sinus Sabaeus, a region of Mars approximately centered at 25.0°S and 6.5°E and located in the topographic transition between Arabia Terra and Noachis Terra, in the Martian highlands. This heavily cratered region, subjected to extensive surface erosion, shows a complex valley network system known as Marikh Vallis. In this work, we study the history and role of water in and around Marikh Vallis, focusing on the modification and evolution of this area during the earliest Martian times, the Noachian period. The map described in this paper was produced through the analysis of a combination of available imagery data, topography, and thermal inertia, which together allow defining different geomorphological units in this area. This new map provides a basis for identifying the ancient presence of water in the region, both in the liquid state and in the ice phase.

Title: Impact crater degradation, Oxia Planum, Mars
Abstract:
The main goal of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos ExoMars rover mission is to collect samples from the near-subsurface of Mars. The rover will look for any physical or chemical evidence of ancient life in the near subsurface. This map shows the distribution of impact craters at this proposed landing site in Oxia Planum on Mars. The map records 1199 impact craters > 500 m in diameter in a 5.0° × 2.5° region around Oxia Planum. The impact craters are symbolised based on the way different aspects of their morphology have degraded since their formation. The distribution of degradation and burial morphologies of impact craters can be used to determine where burial and erosion processes have occurred. Because the formation of impact craters is well constrained, occurs instantly and with a predictable flux, future studies could use this knowledge and our dataset to constrain when these events occurred.

Title: The potential risk of combined effects of water and tillage erosion on the agricultural landscape in Czechia
Abstract:
Tillage erosion is considered a major contributor to total soil erosion besides water erosion. However, tillage erosion has been neglected in Czechia. Therefore, our main goal was to analyse and compare the effect of tillage erosion with that of water erosion. The combined effect of both types of soil erosion was modelled at high spatial resolution. The Universal Soil Loss Equation approach was used to calculate water erosion, while a tillage model (diffusion approach), which takes into account the slope curvature and the tillage transport coefficient, was used to calculate tillage erosion. The constructed map showed that 48% of agricultural soils is threatened by total soil erosion at high rates. Furthermore, the area threatened by tillage erosion is almost 1.5 times larger than that endangered only by water erosion, and the mean contribution of tillage erosion to total soil erosion ranges between 20% and 30%.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Ahuriri River valley, central Southern Alps, New Zealand
Abstract:
Detailed geomorphological mapping of ice-related and post-glacial landforms is widely used to explain past glacial fluctuations and dynamics. Here we present the first detailed glacial geomorphological description of the landform assemblages produced by the former Ahuriri Glacier, Southern Alps, New Zealand (44° 15′ S, 169° 36′ E). The Southern Alps of New Zealand experienced multiple episodes of glaciation during the Late Quaternary with large mountain glaciers in many valleys, but very little is known about the Ahuriri River valley, one of the main tributaries of the Waitaki River. We selected a region extending approximately 45 km downstream from the headwaters of the Ahuriri River covering an area of about 532 km2. Our goal was to create a detailed 1:38,000 scale glacial geomorphological map of this area and provide a geomorphological context to support future geochronological work. Glacial geomorphological mapping was performed by combining several field investigations and remote sensing surveys. We provided high-resolution spatial information for all the glacial-related landforms shown on the map (see main Map). The distribution of post-glacial landforms in the middle and lower section of the main valley outline at least three advances or stillstand phases of past glaciers and suggesting the maximum length (∼41 km) of the former glacier during the Last Glacial Maximum. Most of the tributary valleys were also probably covered by ice at this time. Other prominent but smaller size moraine landforms, mostly in the tributary river valleys, also suggest relatively small, post-glacial advance phases of former glaciers.

Title: Present plant formations of the Sierra del Aramo (Asturian Central Massif, Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain)
Abstract:
A map of plant formations of the Sierra del Aramo (Asturian Central Massif) is presented at a scale of 1:25,000. The interest of this map lies in the idiosyncrasies of the area studied: it straddles two contrasting biogeographic districts, has carbonated and siliceous substrates, and displays various types of hillside deposits. It also has a height difference of more than 1300 m in 3 linear km, varied topography and orientations, and a history of human colonization prior to the Bronze Age. All this in just 220 km2, in a rural area in the process of abandonment but only 20 km from one of the regional metropolitan areas. In short, the Sierra del Aramo is a territory of high natural and cultural heritage, in which the vegetation map is essential as a fundamental scientific tool for territorial management.

Title: Geomorphology and (palaeo-)hydrography of the Southern Atbai plain and western Eritrean Highlands (Eastern Sudan/Western Eritrea)
Abstract:
We present the geomorphology of the Southern Atbai Plain (Eastern Sudan) and the western edge of the Eritrean Highlands (Western Eritrea), in the eastern Sahel. The mountainous area consists of Paleo-Proterozoic gneiss and Neo-Proterozoic igneous rocks and meta-volcanic assemblages shaped as inselbergs and whaleback landforms by weathering. Bare-rock hills emerge from a gentle glacis that oversees the Southern Atbai alluvial plain, located between the Atbara and Gash Rivers. The plain features the SSE-NNW-oriented endorheic terminal fan of the Gash River and is crossed by intricate Early to Late Pleistocene paleochannels, whose evolution was controlled by the interplay between Quaternary regional tectonics and arid to humid climatic and environmental oscillations. The map is intended to interpret the evolution of local landscape, thus representing a tool for reconstructing the spatial and temporal distribution of Late Quaternary archaeological features and their functional relationships with the fossil fluvial system and the western foothills.

Title: Lake surface changes of the Osa River catchment, (northern Poland), 1900–2010
Abstract:
The study objective was to prepare a quantitative inventory of lakes and to assess their long-term changes. The research area included the Osa river basin (northern Poland), which is located in a lake district. The research was based on historical cartographic materials published in 1900-1947 (German 1:25,000 ‘Messtischblatt’ topographic maps) and modern topographic maps from 2010 (The 1:50,000 Digital Map of the Hydrographic Division of Poland [MPHP]. The number of lakes increased from 173 to 235, while the total surface area of the lakes fell by 107.55 ha. The largest number of lakes belonged to the 1.0-5.0 ha range on both MPHP and Messtischblatt maps. It was in this range that the largest increase in number of lakes and lake area relative to the historical maps was found. A significant reduction in area of lakes was recorded in the group of lakes with an area from 50 to 100 ha.

Title: Geomorphology of the seafloor north east of the Maltese Islands, Central Mediterranean
Abstract:
This paper presents a geomorphological map of the seafloor north east of the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean) at a scale of 1:50,000. The map was compiled following the integration, analysis and interpretation of several high-resolution seafloor bathymetry datasets. Several structural features, coastal and marine landforms and anthropogenic features have been mapped. Most of the mapped submerged landforms – including fluvial, gravity-induced and karst landforms – appear to have been formed during the sea-level lowstand of the last glacial cycle. The map provides valuable insights on the submerged landscape of the Maltese Islands and its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum.

Title: Geology of the Northern Apennines nappe stack on eastern Elba (Italy): new insights on the Neogene orogenic evolution of the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea
Abstract:
We document the tectonic and metamorphic evolution of thrust nappes of the eastern island of Elba. The area exposes a natural cross section of the Northern Apennines hinterland, from the metamorphic basement units to the overlying continent- and ocean-derived nappes. We integrated mapping, analysis of structures and microstructures, and the interpretation of drill core logs with lithostratigraphic, metamorphic, and geochronological constraints, producing a novel geological map of eastern Elba (1:5’000 scale). We show that the area experienced polyphase Oligocene – Pliocene contractional tectonics marked by in-sequence and out-of-sequence thrusting accompanied by folding and overprinted by faulting in the Pliocene. Magmatism occurred during contraction with post-magmatic thrusting ultimately coupling HP-LT and LP-HT units. Drill core logs allow for the first time the reconstruction of the N-dipping character of the Zuccale Fault, which represents the youngest (late Miocene – early Pliocene) large-scale structure in the area.

Title: High-resolution multibeam bathymetry of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 45–46° N: the Moytirra hydrothermal field
Abstract:
This work presents a new high-resolution multibeam bathymetric map of a segment of active deep sea-floor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean, the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) at 45–46º N. New high-resolution bathymetry data were acquired using an Atlas multibeam echosounder onboard the research vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa during the EXPLOSEA-2 survey in 2019. The final map of the MAR (50 m cell grid size) at the original scale of 1:200,000 shows a segment of 140 × 35 km of the MAR, at water depths from 715 to 3700 m. This new high-resolution bathymetric map allows to better defining the submarine morphology of the Moytirra hydrothermal active field, the only high-temperature field identified between the Azores Archipelago (Portugal) and Iceland. ROV submarine observations reaching the deepest part of the system for the first time show giant anhydrite-sulfide chimneys up to 20 m high, active strong black smokers and polymetallic massive sulfides.

Title: Groundwater resources in a fractured-rock aquifer, Conglomerate of Portofino
Abstract:
Hydrogeological mapping is a key tool for groundwater resource management. Generally, hydrogeological maps focus mainly on porous or karst aquifer at large scale. In a fractured-rock aquifer, the groundwater flow path is not immediately deductible due to the intrinsic complexity of fracture systems. Then, it is of crucial importance collecting a complete dataset describing the site of interest: fault and strata patterns, geomorphological features, occurrence of springs. Here we present the hydrogeological map at 1:10,000 scale of the fractured rock aquifer of Conglomerate of Portofino (Italy). The graphical information contained in this map is based on the authors’ field survey and the revision of papers written for academic purposes and technical reports. The aim of the research is to achieve a useful tool for land planning, conservation of groundwater resource and geo-hydrological risk reduction in the unique area of the Natural Park of Portofino.

Title: Geomorphologic landslide inventory by air photo interpretation of the High Agri Valley (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
Landslide inventories provide the knowledge basis for many geomorphological applications and also planning and emergency management. Detailed landslide inventories should also be prepared where pre-existing inventories are available, as knowledge updates. In this paper, we present a new geomorphological landslide inventory for an area of the High Agri Valley, Southern Italian Apennines. The map was prepared through systematic interpretation of historical aerial photographs testing extensive use of anaglyph glasses in StereoPhoto Maker freeware. A total of 2124 landslides were classified based on the type of movement, estimated depth, estimated relative age and three levels of uncertainty, providing landslide attributes and map constraints useful for land planning and hazard studies. The map also documents the relationships between landslides and fluvial landforms of different generations, recording important information to investigate the geomorphological evolution of the area further. We expect that landslide mapping in similar environments will benefit from the workflow here presented.

Title: Interdisciplinary geoscientific approach to radioactive waste repository site selection: the Březový potok site, southwestern Czech Republic
Abstract:
Interpretation of the deep geological and tectonic setting is a key step for safety assessment of the potential sites for a deep geological repository of radioactive waste. However, the conventional geological mapping is difficult in the agricultural landscape with lacking rock outcrops. To address this task, we combined geological and hydrogeological mapping, morphostructural analysis and geophysical methods to construct a new geological map and a 3D model of the Březový potok site in the southwestern Czech Republic. They provide unique constraints for the understanding of the subsurface geological and tectonic architecture. The results are compared with the archive geological data and the usefulness of individual geophysical methods to detect the lithological contacts and tectonic zones is discussed. We present this multi-disciplinary research strategy as a workflow for detailed geological characterization, which can be successfully applied on other sites with similar geological environment.

Title: Ecogeomorphology and vulnerability in a Mediterranean ria-type coast (La Maddalena Archipelago, NE Sardinia, western Mediterranean)
Abstract:
This paper presents a map describing the main geomorphological and sedimentological features, hydrodynamics, benthic habitat distributions and human impact on the coastal and marine areas of the Archipelago of La Maddalena (NE Sardinia, western Mediterranean). This cartography is based on an interdisciplinary sea-land approach, with the aim being to support sustainable and successful beach management in the face of a changing climate and environment, thereby contributing to the achievement of the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (13, 14 and 15). In the Main Map (1:14,000 scale), the static and dynamic features of the beach systems and adjacent inner shelf are divided into thematic sections that include the geomorphological elements, hydrodynamics, sedimentological distributions, benthic habitat (mainly Posidonia oceanica meadow) and anthropogenic impacts. The map establishes a fundamental, multidisciplinary benchmark that is able to provide substantial scientific support to policymakers in relation to future vulnerability-assessment activities and the definition of land-management strategies.

Title: Alluvial Terraces and Contaminant Sources of the Santa Catarina River in the Monterrey Metropolitan Area, Mexico
Abstract:
The development of the Monterrey Metropolitan Area (MMA) and human carelessness have severely altered the Santa Catarina River (SCR). The objective of this research was to integrate fieldwork, a digital elevation model, exploratory surveys and satellite images analysis to develop a GIS-based map scale 1:40,000 and 1:5,000 of the Quaternary alluvial terraces and Cretaceous geologic formations present in the SCR. In addition, this study presents river geologic cross-sections, hydraulic conductivity estimates per terrace, a piezometric chart (dry season), and a database of contaminant sources along the river. The main results were the following: three terraces levels were identified, the distribution and hydrogeological properties of the terraces were documented, groundwater flow direction was southwest (SW) to northeast (NE), and 154 contaminant sources were georeferenced. This investigation lays down the basis for future environmental assessments and studies related to the quality and water supply for the MMA.

Title: Deep-seated gravitational slope deformation involving glacial evidence in the Rodoretto Valley (NW Alps)
Abstract:
The Rodoretto Valley (about 25 km2) (Western Alps, NW Italy) shaped in the metamorphic bedrock, covered by Quaternary sediments, is involved in significant deep-seated gravitational slope deformation (DSGSD). A detailed field survey revealed several morpho-structures typically related to DSGSD phenomena (open fractures, doubled ridges, scarps, trenches, counterscarps and bulging reliefs) and other significant gravitational morphologies, here defined as gravitational valleys, not previously reported in geological literature.Fieldwork also allowed us to distinguish various types of glacial sediments, reconstructing the supply basins, relatively dating glacialism to LGM and Late Glacial-Holocene and evaluating their gravitational dislocation. The wide extension of the area characterized by DSGSD and incredibly big dimension of single morpho-structures are the most important recognized features. In particular, we observed that entire sectors of the study area were gravitatively conditioned not only by local slid along the Rodoretto slopes but also by movement towards the nearby and deeper Germanasca Valley.

Title: Geomorphology and geosystem services of the Indren-Cimalegna area (Monte Rosa massif – Western Italian Alps)
Abstract:
New strategies for preservation of geodiversity and geosystem services need to be developed for mountain areas that are vulnerable to climate change and human activities. Detailed geomorphological surveys and geosystem services analyses have been carried out in the Indren-Cimalegna area, southern slope of Monte Rosa (Western Italian Alps). From remote sensing analysis and field inventories, a geomorphological map (1:5000) was created, with a new GIS-compliant legend, targeted to the studies of glacial and periglacial environments. A geosystem services map (1:15,000) was also produced, presenting a two-fold analysis of interactions between geomorphology and human activity, showing (1) the role of distinct landforms as specific services offered to society and (2) the threats posed by morphodynamic processes to human activities. These maps are presented as tools for enhancing proper planning and management of high mountains modified by climate change and human activities within a sustainable development perspective.

Title: Echo-character distribution in the Cantabrian Margin and the Biscay Abyssal Plain
Abstract:
In 2003, 2006–2009, 2014 and 2015, seven oceanographic cruises were carried out on board the Spanish R/V Hespérides in the Cantabrian Margin and the adjacent abyssal plains, covering an area of 219,124 km2. Based on the combined analysis and interpretation of the bathymetric and reflectivity data obtained with multibeam echo sounders (SIMRAD EM12, EM120 and EM1002), and ultra-high-resolution reflection seismic records acquired with the SIMRAD TOPAS PS18 parametric sounder, the mapping of the acoustic facies or echo-character at a scale of 1:1,200,000 has been carried out. Thirty types of echoes have been differentiated and gather into four main groups: Distinct, Irregular, Hyperbolic and Undulated. The echo-character depends on the acoustic response of the shallow sediment and the seabed morphology. Therefore, its analysis and characterization are basic for understanding recent and present-day sedimentary processes.

Title: The glacial geomorphology of sub-Antarctic Marion Island
Abstract:
Since the discovery of glacial features on sub-Antarctic Marion Island, the character and extent of a historic glacial period have remained an important research focus for earth science investigations. Previous glacial reconstructions were limited to mostly pre-GPS field observations and pre-digital mapping through a Geographic Information System. With the aid of GPS field mapping, high-resolution satellite imagery and a digital surface model with a 1 × 1 m cell resolution, this paper provides a comprehensive, geo-rectified spatial geodatabase and map of Marion Island’s glacial geomorphology. The geodatabase includes an inventory of glacial erosional (e.g. striations) and depositional (e.g. moraines) features compiled from existing records as well as new features mapped from recent field observations. The final map and the geodatabase, which is downloadable as ESRI layer-package files, will aid future field investigations and modelling applications to understand Marion Island’s Quaternary landscape evolution and post-glacial ecological succession.

Title: Geomorphology of the northwestern Kurdistan Region of Iraq: landscapes of the Zagros Mountains drained by the Tigris and Great Zab Rivers
Abstract:
We present the geomorphological map of the northwestern part of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, where the landscape expresses the tectonic activity associated with the Arabia-Eurasia convergence and Neogene climate change. These processes influenced the evolution of landforms and fluvial pathways, where major rivers Tigris, Khabur, and Great Zab incise the landscape of Northeastern Mesopotamia Anticlinal ridges and syncline trough compose the Zagros orogen. The development of water and wind gaps, slope, and karsts processes in the highlands and the tilting of fluvial terraces in the flat areas are the main evidence of the relationship between tectonics, climate variations and geomorphological processes. During the Quaternary, especially after the Last Glacial Maximum, fluctuating arid and wet periods also influenced local landforms and fluvial patterns of the area. Finally, the intensified Holocene human occupation and agricultural activities during the passage to more complex societies over time impacted the evolution of the landscape in this part of Mesopotamia.

Title: Paleoglacial footprint and fluvial terraces of the Shaluli Shan, SE Tibetan Plateau
Abstract:
This study provides mapping of glacial and fluvial geomorphology in the Shaluli Shan region on the eastern margin of the south-eastern Tibetan Plateau. Based on TanDEM-X 12 m elevation data and GoogleEarth imagery, glacial valleys, ice-marginal moraines, glacial lineations, scoured terrain and fluvial terraces were mapped. Covering around 11,000 km2, this map is the first for this region to display geomorphology at a spatial resolution of 0.4 arcsec (= c. 11 m) and to include fluvial terraces. Its glacial landform distribution is largely consistent with previous mapping. The substantially higher level of detail in this study is reflected in an approximately tenfold number and smaller median sizes of individual landforms such as moraines and glacial lineations. These results underscore the importance of high-resolution DEM data such as TanDEM-X for the identification of glacial and fluvial geomorphology. The map presented here will be used for detailed paleoglacial reconstructions and landscape evolution studies combining both glacial and fluvial landforms.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the central sector of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, Northern British Columbia, Canada
Abstract:
Northern British Columbia was repeatedly covered by the Cordilleran Ice Sheet (CIS) during the glacial periods. However, its mountainous terrain and remote location have thus far impeded our understanding of the central sector of the ice sheet. The improved resolution of remotely sensed data provides new opportunities to unravel the glacial history of this inaccessible location. Here, we present a comprehensive map of glacial landforms for the central sector of the CIS (55° to 60° N). Seven landform categories were mapped: ice flow parallel lineations, moraines (CIS outlet glacier moraines, Late Glacial moraines and moraines of unknown origin), meltwater channels (lateral and submarginal, subglacial, proglacial, and meltwater channels of unknown origin), kame terraces, eskers (single ridges and esker complexes), perched deltas and subglacial ribs. Collectively, these landforms provide a record of the extent, thickness and behaviour of the CIS, the direction of its movement and pattern of ice retreat.

Abstract:
We present a 1:7500 scale geological map of part of the footwall of the south verging Belluno Thrust of the seismically active eastern Southern Alps of northern Italy. We report a previously unknown thrust zone, the “San Donato-Costa Thrust Zone”, that cuts across the local Meso-Cenozoic stratigraphic succession. 1:2500 and 1:5000 geological mapping, in combination with the revision and improvement of the local lithostratigraphy and detailed structural analysis, provided new insights into the thrust geometry and the setting of the greater area it deforms. We show that the recorded deformation style (e.g. folding vs. faulting) exhibits notable variations within the affected Meso-Cenozoic stratigraphic succession, with shortening accommodated by fold trains and several subparallel thrust splays with variable amounts of stratigraphic offset cumulated during repeated faulting. Our results contribute to a better definition of folding and faulting within the Mesozoic carbonate multilayer system of the eastern Southern Alps.

Title: Mobile UX design: learning from the Flyover Country mobile app
Abstract:
Technology has transformed maps into interactive tools for exploring and understanding the world. In this article, we present the user experience (UX) design process for Flyover Country (http://flyovercountry.io), a mobile mapping application that visualizes information about the Earth’s geology and history, allowing users to save and then access the information offline while flying, driving, or hiking. Specifically, the paper presents a UX design study that tracks the conceptualization, implementation, and revision of Flyover Country, and employs scenario-based design to walk through a pair of use case scenarios that informed our UX design: science outreach to the general public and field trip guides for geoscience education. In the paper, we note UX design insights that are potentially transferable to other mobile mapping contexts, organizing insights by mobile representation design (scale, projection, symbolization, and typography) versus mobile interaction design (map entry point, bottom navigation, floating action button, and pull-up information panel).

Title: Phytosociology of the vegetation communities of the Stelvio Pass area
Abstract:
High elevation areas are sensitive and vulnerable to climate change and exhibited relatively rapid changes in response to warming involving changes of floristic composition, species upward migration, shrub and tree encroachment and surface area changes. For this reason, it is important to provide quantitative studies as tools allowing a long-term monitoring of vegetation in response to climate change. The Stelvio Pass area is a high elevation site located in the European Alps, and a unique case study on the alpine range providing historical detailed information on vegetation with the availability of phytosociological maps of vegetation elaborated in 1953 and 2003. Here we show and describe an updated and detailed phytosociological vegetation mapping which will constitute a robust base for the monitoring and quantitative assessment of any impacts of future climate and/or environmental change as well as a tool to plan suitable vegetation and biodiversity conservation actions in the alpine environment.

Title: Geology of the southern Gran Paradiso Massif and Lower Piedmont Zone contact area (middle Ala Valley, Western Alps, Italy)
Abstract:
This work presents the structural evolution of a poorly studied key-area in the middle Ala Valley, Western Alps, where two tectono-metamorphic units are exposed. A geological map at the 1:10.000 scale, integrated with meso- and microstructural analysis, has been realised. We investigated the contact area between Gran Paradiso Massif in the footwall and Lower Piedmont Zone in the hanging wall. Both tectono-metamorphic units, with a different paleogeographic affinity, preserve similar polyphasic deformation histories, defined by four deformation phases. The Dp phase, strongly transposing previous structural relicts, is marked by a high-pressure assemblage associated with the Sp foliation. Dp controls the lithological boundary attitude. A mylonitic zone, developed during the Dp, showing kinematic indicators pointing to a top-to-the N-NW sense of shear, is responsible for the juxtaposition of the two units. Dp structural elements are deformed by Dp+1 and Dp+2 subsequent phases. A greenschist-facies overprinting was observed during the Dp+1 phase.

Title: Fractured carbonate aquifers of Sibillini Mts. (Central Italy)
Abstract:
The aim of the present map is to illustrate a detailed pre-earthquake hydrogeological conceptual model of the Sibillini Mts. This area was struck by a prolonged seismic sequence of up to Mw 6.5 in 2016. Geological, tectonic, and hydrogeological data were collected from the literature before 2016, subsequently standardized and re-interpretated with the aim of presenting a hydrogeological map (1:50,000 scale) of the Sibillini Mts. carbonate system (Central Italy). The map is supported by 11 hydrogeological both cross and longitudinal sections, which show the underground spatial relationship between aquifers, aquicludes, and tectonic elements. This Map provides a model of comparison for the new hydrogeological conditions emerging from the post-seismic research.

Title: Geomorphology of the topmost part of the Bistra Mountain, Mavrovo Park, North Macedonia
Abstract:
Identification of the remnant traces of paleo-glaciers provides important proxies to understand the response of the environment to rapid climate changes. We present a 1:25,000 scale geomorphological map covering ∼12.5 km2 of the upper part of Mount Bistra (North Macedonia) on the basis of remote sensing analyses and geomorphological surveys. Particular attention is given to the description of glacial and periglacial landforms, to the reconstruction of single glacier shapes and to Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA) value calculation. The results of the survey and the reconstructed ELAs indicate the occurrence of three glacial phases that led to the formation of frontal and lateral moraines. The age of these phases is tentatively attributed to the Late Pleistocene by comparing these ELAs with those of other Balkan mountains. This map is the first step of a wider project aimed at reconstructing the relation between climate change and geomorphic response in this area.

Title: Héðinsdalsjökull, northern Iceland: geomorphology recording the recent complex evolution of a glacier
Abstract:
The objective of this work is to conduct a detailed mapping of the Héðinsdalsjökull foreland, northern Iceland (65°39′N, 18°55′W). This cirque currently shows a variety of glacial and periglacial landforms derived from a complex deglaciation. Mapping was performed combining traditional hand-drawn and digital mapping. A hand-drawn sketch was georeferenced in ArcMap 10.7.1, supported on an aerial photograph (year 2000). Its vectorization, symbolization and final design were done in the computer-aided design (CAD) software MicroStation Connect. Complementary high-resolution Digital Surface Models were obtained from historical aerial photographs and ground-view field photographs through the application of Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry. To improve the topographic expression of the geomorphological map, a photorealistic 3D view has been generated. The final map highlights the complexity of the foreland and the coexistence existence of a range of different units and landforms. The map will ease future studies on the transformation of receding glaciers.

Title: Distribution and paleoenvironmental framework of middle Miocene marine vertebrates along the western side of the lower Ica Valley (East Pisco Basin, Peru)
Abstract:
We report 130 vertebrate fossils preserved as bony elements and the co-occurring assemblage of fish teeth and spines from the lower strata of the Pisco Formation exposed along the western side of the lower Ica Valley (East Pisco Basin, Peru). Geological mapping at 1:10,000 scale reveals that all these fossils originate from the Langhian–Serravallian P0 allomember. In the study area, P0 is up to ∼40 m thick and features a sandy lower portion, reflecting shoreface deposition, that fines upwards into a package of offshore silts. Marine vertebrates only occur in the lower sandy layers and include whales, dolphins, reptiles, birds, and bony and cartilaginous fishes. The reconstructed paleoenvironment is consistent with a warm-water, marginal-marine setting with a strong connection to the open ocean. This work helps to elucidate the rich yet still poorly understood middle Miocene portions of the Pisco Formation, and highlights the need to conserve this outstanding Fossil-Lagerstätte.

Title: Geology of the Monte Banchetta – Punta Rognosa area (Troncea valley, Western Alps)
Abstract:
The map ‘Geology of the Monte Banchetta – Punta Rognosa area (Troncea valley, Western Alps)’ details the lithostratigraphy and structural setting of a key sector in the Alpine chain, characterized by close associations of continental and oceanic basements, and meta-sediments. The mapped Monte Banchetta – Punta Rognosa unit (BRU), tectonically juxtaposed to different metaophiolitic units, comprises the Punta Rognosa succession, made of serpentinized mantle overlain by Middle-Upper? Jurassic polymictic meta-breccia, with oceanic and continental clasts, and metasandstone, and the Monte Banchetta succession, consisting of continental crust and Lower–Upper? Jurassic carbonate-bearing quartzite, micaschist and polymictic meta-breccia. These two successions share the uppermost stratigraphic levels consisting of post-rift Upper Jurassic-Cretaceous carbonate-micaschists. The deciphered stratigraphic architecture indicates that the lower succession of the BRU represents portions of continental crust and exhumed mantle reworked and emplaced before deposition of post-rift sediments.

Title: Geology of the Macao Special Administrative Region (China)
Abstract:
A 1:12,000 geological map of the Macao Special Administrative Region has been produced through detailed field work supported by petrographic, mineralogical, geochronological and geochemical data obtained in previous studies. This map aims to represent a reliable tool to understand the geological evolution of the region and for management of the territory. The geology of Macao is dominated by two groups of Jurassic granitic rocks belonging to an intrusive suite located along the coast of Southeast China: Macao Group I (MGI: 164.5 ± 0.6 to 162.9 ± 0.7 Ma) and Macao Group II (MGII: 156.6 ± 0.2 to 155.5 ± 0.8 Ma), including the associated microgranite, aplite and pegmatite dikes and quartz veins. Remnants of the metasedimentary wall-rock are present as Devonian xenoliths enclosed within the granites. Younger Jurassic to Cretaceous andesite to dacite dikes (150.6 ± 0.6 to <120 Ma) intrude the granitic rocks. Additionally, Quaternary sedimentary deposits cover the older lithologies.

Title: The Phlegrean Fields volcanological evolution
Abstract:
A volcanological map merging continental and marine areas of the Phlegrean Fields and Procida Island (Southern Italy) is presented at the 1:25,000 scale. The map is based on 1:5,000 field mapping, and marine geology survey carried out during the Italian CAR.G (Geological CARtography, Servizio Geologico d’Italia) project and on bathymetric and seismic data. Geological data are represented on a digital terrain model of the volcano. This allows better visualization of the main morphological, volcanic, and geological features. The legend is organized in seven activity phases identified based on updated absolute ages of eruptions defining periods of high volcanicity and stasis. The geological map highlights the evolutive history of the Phlegrean Fields volcanic field both in the marine and continental portions, and the reconstructed structural framework and evolution of the caldera formed 39.3 Ky ago in its continental and submerged portions.

Title: The geography of Oxia Planum
Abstract:
We present the geography of Oxia Planum, the landing site for the ExoMars 2022 mission. This map provides the planetary science community with a framework to understand this, until recently, unexplored area. The map comprises (1) a mosaic of the panchromatic Context Camera (CTX) Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and Ortho Rectified Images (ORI) controlled to the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) multiorbit Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and (2) a mosaic of Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) synthetic colour data products, registered to the CTX ORI mosaic. We define a grid of exploration quadrangles (quads) and an informal group of geographic regions to describe Oxia Planum. These regions bridge the scale gap between features observed on large areas (∼100s km2) and the local geography (10s km2) relevant to the Rosalind Franklin rover’s operations in Oxia Planum.

Title: Geomorphology of the Tafilalt Basin, South-East Morocco – implications for fluvial–aeolian dynamics and wind regimes
Abstract:
The hyper-arid Taflilat Basin, South-East Morocco, is dominated by two ephemeral fluvial networks and several ergs with various dune forms from barchans to mega dunes. Especially the genesis of the star dunes remains an open research question. Therefore, a new multi-sheet geomorphological map describes the surface dynamics in the basin. Identification of major surface features was done with remote sensing data and on-site surveys. The analyses were used to identify all different landscape units. Additionally, aeolian features are emphasized to deduce current wind directions. The identification of two opposite wind fields was possible and a spatial correlation in the fluvial-aeolian system is detected. The border of the opposite wind fields crosses Erg Chebbi. Hence, the star dunes are under the influence of a multimodal wind system. Overall, this new geomorphological map strengthens the understanding of the fluvial-aeolian interaction in the Tafilalt Basin and sets a baseline for ongoing in-depth studies.

Title: Hierarchical geomorphological mapping in mountainous areas
Abstract:
We present a method of digital geomorphological mapping of mountainous areas with a legend consisting of a three-tiered nested hierarchy using two case study areas from Vorarlberg, Austria. Users can easily visualize maps in a geographical information system (GIS) at the finest level with a legend of 33 morphogenetic domains. Reclassification of the morphogenetic classes in an automated GIS-workflow generates the medium and high levels of hierarchy, and each tier is accompanied by suggested scale ranges for visualization. A variety of high-resolution input data (LiDAR-derived data, geomorphological and geological raster maps) supports the mapping method, which also strongly benefits from field knowledge. The method facilitates analysis, interpretation, visualization and application of geomorphological data at a large range of scales and corresponding information densities within one database. The structure of the legend allows for inclusion of additional morphogenetic classes and for application and adaptation in other environments.

Title: The tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the Fucino Basin (central Apennines, Italy): new insights from the geological mapping of its north-eastern margin.
Abstract:
We present the geological map of the north-eastern margin of the Fucino Basin, which is mainly characterized by Plio-Quaternary continental deposits that show transition from deeper-water lacustrine environment, marginal lacustrine system, and fluvial facies. These deposits unconformably overlie upper Messinian Lago-Mare sediments and pre-orogenic carbonate succession. The occurrence of Caspiocypris tiberina in the Plio-Quaternary lacustrine sediments, coupled with the normal magnetic polarity of Casa Colombaia section, led to suggest the onset of the sedimentation of these continental deposits to the late Piacenzian (2.58–3.04 Ma). The upper Messinian deposits are characterized by ostracod assemblages related to the Loxocorniculina djafarovi zone, pointing to the last Lago-Mare event of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.40–5.33 Ma). This new stratigraphic framework may be useful to refine the long-term slip rates of the still active normal faults that affect the north-eastern margin of the Fucino Basin.

Title: Deep-seated gravitational slope deformations in central Sardinia: insights into the geomorphological evolution
Abstract:
In this study, we analyse deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DSGSDs) in central Sardinia. The area is characterised by plateaus with a prominent limestone scarp overlying metamorphites. A comprehensive mapping of structural, karst, fluvial, and slope morphologies in Pardu and Ulassai valleys is presented herein. The uplift linked to the Plio-Pleistocene tectonic activity leads to high-slope topography, which favours gravitational processes, such as DSGSDs and rock-avalanches. Although DSGSD is a common phenomenon in the relief of the central Mediterranean region, it has never been studied in Sardinia. We describe the kinematic models and geomorphological evolution of DSGSD in Sardinia for the first time. The application of light detection and ranging, high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry, and geological, structural, and geomorphological surveys enabled a depth morphometric analysis and the development of interpretative three-dimensional models. The geo-structural setting and high relief energy associated with recent upliftment are the major controlling factors of DSGSDs.

Title: Soils and soilscapes of the Upper Volturno basin: a detailed survey of a large intermontane basin in the Central-Southern Apennines, Italy
Abstract:
Soils of the Upper Volturno basin in the Central-Southern Apennines (Molise, Italy) were surveyed in detail. Trends in development are described with focus on the contrast between the mountain soils and the soils of the basin. Mountain soils are shallow and poorly developed. Topsoils in the central and eastern areas and on N-facing slopes have a large Late Pleistocene tephra component (Campi Flegrei) and are Andic. Basin soils from a distinct chronosequence: early Mid-Pleistocene deep highly weathered Chromic Luvisols/Nitosols in old surfaces of the fluvio-lacustrine fill, less developed soils in Late Pleistocene terraces and fans, and recent Fluvisols in the Holocene sediments of the Volturno River and tributaries. In the basin, Mid-Pleistocene Roccamonfina tephra play an important role. In the SW, it occurs as thick layers, blanketing the fluvio-lacustrine/fan deposits. The soil pattern clearly reflects the complex geological history of the basin, with prominent subsidence in the SW.

Title: Glacial and periglacial geomorphology of central Troms and Finnmark county, Arctic Norway
Abstract:
Here we present a glacial and periglacial geomorphological map of a ∼6800 km2 region of central Troms and Finnmark county, Arctic Norway. The map is presented at a 1:115,000 scale with the aim of characterising the spatial distribution of glacial and periglacial landforms and facilitating the reconstruction of the glacial history of the region during the latter stages of deglaciation from the Last Glacial Maximum and into the Holocene. Mapping was conducted predominantly by manual digitisation of landforms using a combination of Sentinel-2A/2B satellite imagery (10 m pixel resolution), vertical aerial photographs (<1 m pixel resolution), and Digital Elevation Models (10 and 2 m pixel resolution). Over 20,000 individual features have been mapped and include moraines (subdivided into major and minor moraines), ridges within areas of discrete debris accumulations (DDAs), flutings, eskers, irregular mounded terrain, lineations, glacially streamlined bedrock, possible glacially streamlined terrain, pronival ramparts, rock glaciers (subdivided into valley wall and valley floor, and rock glacierised moraines), lithalsas, contemporary glaciers and lakes. The map records several noteworthy large moraine assemblages within individual valleys, forming inset sequences from pre-Younger Dryas limits up to the 2018/19 ice margins and represents a valuable dataset for reconstructing Holocene glacial and periglacial activity.

Title: Geological hazards of the Gerecse Hills (Hungary)
Abstract:
Landslides and related mass movement processes actively pose a threat in the Gerecse Hills (Hungary, Transdanubian Range) by endangering residential and agricultural areas. Several closed or abandoned mining sites and waste deposits are also located in the area. Most of these sites have not been fully remediated, which makes their surroundings dangerous and unsuitable for other use. A multi-hazard map (1: 60,000) was prepared about the geological hazard sources of the Gerecse by collecting and synthetizing data from individual thematic maps and databases. The aim of the map is to provide a comprehensive look at the different but often-interrelated hazard sources of the area. The thematic content of the map consists of three main parts: the result of a statistical landslide susceptibility analysis marking the most landslide-prone slopes, the documented slope failure events, and the areas of hazardous mining sites and their waste deposits.Excerpt from the main geological hazard map showing the loess valleys between Neszmély and Dunaszentmiklós. Several landslides and falls happened in this area according to the map. Many of the slopes here are marked susceptible to landslides. There are quarries and waste heaps in the northwestern parts around the Vörös-kő hill. A red mud reservoir is in the northeastern part of the excerpt's area.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the former Patagonian Ice Sheet (44–46 °S)
Abstract:
We map the glacial geomorphology of the former Patagonian Ice Sheet between 44°S and 46°S. Building on previous work, our map covers a ∼50,000 km2 region of west-central Patagonia. The study area includes the eastward-flowing Río Pico, Río Caceres, Río Cisnes, Lago Plata-Fontana, El Toqui, Lago Coyt/Río Ñirehuao, Simpson/Paso Coyhaique, and Balmaceda palaeo-outlet glaciers, adjacent valleys, and the Andean Cordillera. The inventory contains >70,000 individual landforms mapped from remotely-sensed imagery and field surveys. Mapping was classified into ice-marginal (e.g. moraine ridges, trimlines), subglacial (e.g. glacial lineations, flutes), glaciolacustrine (e.g. palaeolake shorelines, perched deltas), glaciofluvial (e.g. proglacial outwash plains, meltwater channels), and non-glacial (e.g. palaeochannels, landslides or slumps) landform groups. The new map will inform future interpretations of regional glacier dynamics, and the development of robust geochronological datasets that test the timing of glaciation and deglaciation.

Title: Geology of late-Variscan Sàrrabus pluton (south-eastern Sardinia, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper deals with the geological mapping of the late-Variscan Sàrrabus pluton, (south-eastern Sardinia), a shallow multiple and composite igneous complex dominated by several generations of granodiorites, metaluminous and peraluminous granites and repeated pulses of mantle-derived mafic magmas. The map has been compiled based on geological surveys at 1:10,000 and 1:5,000 scales, assisted by in situ gamma-ray spectrometry and detailed petrographic investigations. Granite-related ore deposits have been also reported. The emplacement age of the pluton can be constrained by U/Pb dating on zircons of Cala Regina granodiorite, yielding an age of 286 ± 9 Ma. The resulting scenario documents a bimodal magmatism controlled by an EW trending shear zone, followed by the shallower emplacement of several pulses of independent granite magmas.

Title: Rural tourism in Portugal: moving to the countryside
Abstract:
The maps produced in this article allow an extended interpretation of rural tourism’s development in mainland Portugal by identifying spatio-temporal patterns, relationships, and connections. This is accomplished through the superimposition of multiple thematic layers and kernel density analysis to potentially predict rural tourism’s ruralisation patterns. The maps demonstrate that the development of rural tourism in Portugal observed a centrifugal and dispersive pattern, spreading from semi-urban to deep-rural areas. The analysis is further refined by applying the CHAID algorithm helping to show that the more recent rural tourism establishments are avoiding towns and villages and locating closer to agricultural land and protected areas. The maps and the complementary analyses provide a multidimensional understanding of rural tourism’s spatial development exemplified in complex relationships between location factors and distinct rural tourism accommodation typologies.

Title: Mapping the anthropic occupation of the territory. Tracing dynamics of human settlement from archaeological records and historic cartographies
Abstract:
The dynamics of anthropic occupation of a territory over time play a central role in shaping the cultural landscape we see today. This paper presents a methodology for visually representing this phenomenon. The method consists of transforming data from archaeological records and historic cartography into a series of maps that allow historic settlement patterns to be interpreted and the historic depth of contemporary urban areas to be revealed. To create these maps, a series of geospatial analyses were carried out, including density analysis and weighted overlay. The methodology was applied to the peri-urban area of Seville in southern Spain, although it may be extrapolated to other regions.

Title: Economic resilience of agriculture in England and Wales: a spatial analysis
Abstract:
Agriculture has a hugely important role to play in meeting many of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Ensuring the economic resilience of farms and improving their capacity to respond to a wide range of challenges is key if agriculture is to contribute positively to achieving SDGs and sustainable growth. This paper aims to calculate the economic vulnerability and resilience of agriculture in England and Wales (UK), by analysing individual farm business data and using it to compute an aggregated agricultural resilience index at regional level across the two countries. The results of our analysis are visualised as maps, showing the geographical distribution of the input indicators and the final composite resilience index. We argue that this type of spatio-economic approach is useful for understanding the geography of agricultural resilience at sub-national levels, which could be valuable for helping to inform decisions and formulate strategies for promoting sustainable agriculture..

Title: Strengthening Dracula tourism brand through cartographic approaches
Abstract:
During the last decades, the tourism market saw the growth of national and regional brands based on characters and places promoted through movies and TV series. One of the most notorious tourism brands based on fictional works is represented by Dracula. With a constantly expanding coverage on entertainment channels, Dracula became widely popular and strongly associated with Romania. However, its capitalization by national tourism actors lacks synergy and integration of spatial features. In this paper, we use an original cartographic approach combining the spatial distribution of Dracula attractions and online data regarding tourist behavior aimed to set up a decision-making toolkit for the enhancement of brand management. The results confirm the existence of a spatial pattern in the distribution and differentiation of Dracula attractions, which affects the overall tourist behavior and satisfaction. The paper provides several recommendations for national actors in order to upgrade the tourism management of Dracula's image.

The social spatial geographies of telecommunications and their infrastructures have long interested scholars in the social sciences, and in urban geography specifically. This paper focuses on data centers. Much effort has been placed in preserving the notion that data centers are ‘clouds’, a terminology that obfuscates the real human geographies of cyberplaces. In this map-making exercise, we visualize the sociopolitical human geographies of data centers, and provoke the reader to consider the impacts that data centers have on residents and their environments. The maps shown in this paper suggest four trends. First, hyperscale data center owners are building near large waterways, signifying a shift in location preferences. Second, data centers stress local administrations, financing, and availability of upstream resources, as hyperscale data centers step up their input needs. Third, data center development is state-led. Fourth the competition for data center industries unfolds across a multi-level governance context.

Title: Public space accessibility and machine learning tools for street vending spatial categorization
Abstract:
Street vending is a complex systemic phenomenon in most cities worldwide, with different intensities and features. In the Mexican case, it is an activity with remnants of a precolonial logic in its spatial distribution. Thus, a low correlation exists between the street vending government regulations and the actual day by day organization of the activity. Certain authors have suggested and compiled an econometric model that considers some variables to comprehend the phenomenon better. All the variables came with the detailed information except for the territorial aspect. Thus, an accessibility tool was created to provide a robust location profile, using official variables related to socioeconomic topics recommended by the World Bank. The resulting database was then analyzed by Machine Learning prediction models. The results provided a map with spatial categorization of the street vending activity, with a solid correlation ($0.509 \pm 0.039$0.509±0.039) to the jobs variable.

Title: Visualising residents’ fear of crime with recorded crime data from four Czech cities
Abstract:
The paper investigates if and where registered crime and the fear of crime intersect in the four locations. This information is important to reduce crime and increase the sense of security of the population. In the past, research was applied to small parts of a city or a whole city, but not in as much detail as this paper. Our research is detailed, and at the same time is applied to four entire locations - three Czech cities (Ostrava, Olomouc, and Kolín) and one Prague district (Prague 12). We placed registered crime and fear of crime on one map to show locations where people feel afraid, where crime happens, and where both events occur together. We drew these phenomena using Moran’s I in a bivariate map. The outputs will be applied by Municipal governments and police departments.

Title: Spatial patterns of transport accessibility and traffic load in Czechia: towards a typology of the new road infrastructure impacts
Abstract:
We analyse the impacts caused by the construction of new road infrastructure between 2005 and 2015 in Czechia, EU. The results provide an answer to which municipalities were affected by the construction of new road infrastructure or how the accessibility of individual regional centres changed. The study works with two key variables: a change in the accessibility of regional centres and a change in traffic load inside municipalities. The key output of the analysis is a map, thanks to which it is possible to assess the impact of the new roads in a broad context. The effects on accessibility to regional centres are much more concentrated in only a few areas where significant transport infrastructure has been lacking so far (e.g. east, southeast, southwest, or northwest part of Czechia). Impacts on traffic load are, on the other hand, distributed more evenly in space, not only on the main transport routes.

Title: The availability of green spaces for different socio-economic groups in cities: a case study of Budapest, Hungary
Abstract:
The provision of urban green spaces (UGS) within a reasonable walking distance/time for each resident has become a major challenge of urban planning. We provide a novel method to map the availability of UGS for different socio-economic groups in cities using a demand–supply composite index (DSCI). Budapest, the capital city of Hungary, has been chosen to test how the DSCI works. The results show significant differences in the availability of UGS for people living in different neighborhood types. Furthermore, findings reveal that regardless of which type of residential area is considered, young and middle-aged people with higher per capita income are more likely to access UGS. As the demographic and socio-economic structure of the population is continuously changing in the different neighborhood types and so is the demand for UGS, urban planners should carefully monitor societal changes and elaborate interventions to help improve the availability and accessibility of UGS.

Title: International Retirement Migration: mapping the spatio-temporal growth of foreign-owned properties in Cotacachi, Ecuador
Abstract:
International Retirement Migration (IRM) is a growing phenomenon in the Global South. Using the example of the city of Cotacachi in the Ecuadorian Andes, this paper analyzes the spatio-temporal growth of the properties acquired by foreign retirees. We have developed a multi-temporal map that visualizes the spatio-temporal patterns of foreign-owned real estate properties and explains them in the historical context of land tenure. As no official spatial data is available for foreign-owned properties in Cotacachi, the mapping was developed based on data triangulation from remote sensing, participatory mapping, document analysis (e.g. a cadastral database), and semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders. With this origin approach, the map reveals a significant growth in the number of properties and the size of the land acquired by foreigners particularly since the 2008 United States’ housing crisis. Most of the foreign-owned properties are located at the urban fringe and have been built on former colonial hacienda lands in direct proximity to existing indigenous communities.

Title: Putting the rights of nature on the map. A quantitative analysis of rights of nature initiatives across the world
Abstract:
The Rights of Nature (RoN) promote a new understanding of the human environment, where natural entities are conceived as subjects with intrinsic value independent of human interests. The implementation of this idea gained momentum in the United States in 2006. One decade and a half later, the idea has spread all over the world. Despite some efforts, a sophisticated geographical inventory of the movement is missing. Building on Kauffman (2020), we identified and analysed 409 initiatives in 39 countries, creating the most comprehensive database of RoN initiatives to date. We developed a taxonomy that may guide further research. We also present two detailed maps which can help policymakers, legislators, judges, researchers, and the public at large to evaluate and compare initiatives. The findings of this investigation directly help the UN Harmony with Nature Programme and have contributed to the launch of the Eco-Jurisprudence Monitor, an online database of RoN initiatives.

Title: How microbreweries flooded Europe: mapping a new phenomenon in the beer industry
Abstract:
Europe has experienced a major boom of new breweries over the last thirty years, with thousands of new breweries being set up, even in regions where brewing has no history. So far, however, this microbrewing wave has not been systematically mapped. This paper presents a unique database of European breweries from 1990–2020. Using a series of maps and statistical analyses, it shows how breweries have gradually spread across Europe. Initially, microbreweries were being established in countries that are in a declining stage of the beer life-cycle from industrial breweries. After 2005 (and particularly in the 2010s), breweries reached other regions through neighbouring and hierarchical spatial diffusion.

Title: A spatial analyses of food insecurity and disability in the Southeast region of the United States
Abstract:
Although food insecurity continues to be widely researched, the body of literature examining its relationship with disability remains under-studied. To advance this area, the present study investigated the spatial prevalence of food insecurity and disability by examining the Southeast region of the United States (i.e., Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee), an area with disproportionately high levels of both conditions. After collecting records from multiple sources to create a dataset containing health-oriented and physical environment variables, an exploratory mapping analyses was conducted. Results showed distinct high and low value patterns for both food insecurity and disability and the test of local coefficients confirmed geographic variability. To account for this spatial non-stationarity, geographically weighted regression (GWR) was implemented with the county as the unit of analysis. GWR estimates revealed that disability was positively associated with food insecurity but the association varied in magnitude across the Southeast region.

Title: Two decades of ‘Brain Drain’ in Olomouc (Czechia)
Abstract:
This paper and accompanying map aim on the issue of brain drain (otherwise known as Human Capital Flight) concerning cultural and creative industries. The study is focused on the evaluation of Olomouc city, Czechia. In the case of a mid-sized city such as Olomouc, human capital flight is largely associated with cultural and creative fields, because it plays a significant part of the economy and character of the city. The ‘brain drain index’ of Czech municipalities has been calculated and visualized within the synthetic map. The study supported by a map investigated the brain drain from the local university. Moreover, four analytical side-maps which present the most important phenomena used for the Brain Drain Index calculating, and one side-map which summarizes the results of the questionnaire survey, have been visualized. The map layout is extended by description, table and a scheme which characterize the individual steps of the workflow.

Title: Geology of parts of the central and eastern Clarion Clipperton Zone
Abstract:
The Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ) hosts the most valuable deposit of polymetallic nodules yet discovered. International Seabed Authority exploration contractors, such as Tonga Offshore Mining Limited, Nauru Ocean Resources Incorporated and Marawa Research and Exploration Limited, routinely conduct ship-based 12 kHz multibeam echosounder surveys over all or parts of their exploration contract areas. This is often supported by physical seabed samples, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profile sonar and seabed photographs. Geological maps for seven discrete mapped areas are presented. Basaltic abyssal plains of mid-Eocene to early Miocene age are overlain by 75–100 m of mid-Eocene and younger deep-sea chalks of the Marquesas Oceanic Formation. In turn, the chalk is overlain by up to 27 m of early Miocene to present, often mobile, siliceous clay-ooze sediment of the Clipperton Oceanic Formation. This stratigraphy is crosscut by a very wide variety of mostly volcanic magmatic rock units.

Title: Geomorphology and geotourism for a sustainable development of the Daunia Mts, Southern Italy
Abstract:
Landscape preservation strongly depends on exploration and knowledge of its history and evolution. The acquisition and the analysis of geological and geomorphological features are basic and useful tools to identify the touristic potential and the anthropic impact of a territory. This study aims to enhance the knowledge of the natural and cultural heritage of an area of the Daunia Mts between the towns of Alberona and Faeto, Southern Italy, marked by neglect and abandonment, through the drafting of a geomorphological map and the proposal of geotourist itineraries and routes. The results highlight the potential competitiveness and attractiveness of the study area by contributing to the promotion of a sustainable development of a marginal territory. Such data may encourage a form of fruition that promotes knowledge, appreciation, and environmental awareness, in a fragile territorial context.

Title: Sea Floor of the Marine Protected Area of the Asinara Island (Sardinia, Italy)
Abstract:
The Asinara Island Marine Protected Area (AMP) (Sardinia, Italy) represents one of the most uncontaminated areas of the Mediterranean Sea and, therefore, but misses of an accurate mapping of the biocenoses and associated lithologies present on the sea floor. The provided map has highlighted the presence of 21 biocenoses laying on rocky or sandy substrate if shallower or deeper respectively. The most recurring are: the Posidonia oceanica L (Delile) and the coralligenous. The good state of conservation the P. oceanica meadow characterizing the eastern part of the island, and the diffuse presence Coralligenous reefs on the western side, are indicative of the well conditions of the marine ecosystem of the Asinara Marine Protect area. Moreover, the Coralligenous reefs developed on beach rocks have allowed defining which was the paleogeography of the Asinara Island during the time interval comprised from 12.9 to 10.0 ka Before Present (BP).

Title: Geology of the area of the Piuro 1618 event (Val Bregaglia, Italian Central Alps): the setting of a catastrophic historical landslide
Abstract:
The Piuro 1618 landslide is renowned as one of the most catastrophic historical events of the Central Alps. The landscape of the Bregaglia Valley has been successively modified to such an extent to make it difficult to ascertain the source of the landslide, the extent of its deposits and the setting of the ancient village. This study focuses on the identification of the source area of the landslide, its dynamics, the extent of its deposits and the estimation of the involved volumes. The geological map here proposed permitted to reconstruct the relationships between the pre-1618 setting, the 1618 restructuration of the landscape and the post-event changes that occurred owing to erosion by the trunk river, deposition of debris flow fans and slope dynamics. The paper shows how geological mapping may help to unravel landscape evolution of an Alpine valley even at the high-resolution required by historical and archaeological studies.

Title: External effective dose from natural radiation for the Umbria region (Italy)
Abstract:
This study presents the map of the external effective annual dose rate (1:200,000 scale) due to terrestrial and cosmic radiation. The terrestrial dose is assessed via gamma ray spectroscopy combining radiometric data from airborne surveys and laboratory measurements. The geostatistical method Collocated CoKriging is used for the spatial interpolation of the sparse gamma ray data, adopting a high-resolution geological map as ancillary information. The obtained numerical map is integrated with the cosmic radiation effective dose rate calculated using the CARI-7 software tool that considers the effects of altitude, latitude, and the solar magnetic activity cycle. The absorbed dose rate due to radioactivity of the main lithological groups is studied and, for the most populated municipalities, the population-weighted average effective dose is also calculated. For future generations, this map will be a reference tool for evaluating radiological effects in case of accidental events like radioactive fallout or environmental contaminations.

Title: Picher field underground mine workings of the abandoned Tri-State Lead-Zinc Mining District in the United States
Abstract:
Mining began in the Picher field, in the Oklahoma and Kansas portion of the Tri-State Lead-Zinc Mining District in the United States, during the 1900s and ceased in the 1970s, producing an estimated 1.5 million metric tons (m-tons) of lead and 8 million m-tons of zinc. Over 400 historical maps of the underground mine workings were compiled into a single, easily editable map. This map was used to create 3D renderings for calculation of underground mine workings area and volume estimates. The workings have an estimated volume of 9,870 ha-meters (80,000 ac-ft), covering an area of 1,440 hectares (3,560 acres). The map and subsequent calculations should be considered to be based on the minimum extent of the mining field due to the likelihood that many historical maps were likely lost or destroyed. The format of the map allows for continuous updates as new information becomes available.

Title: Geotourism, traditions and typical products of Avellino Province
Abstract:
Geotourism is a form of nature-oriented tourism devoted to the knowledge and understanding of landscape forms and geological processes; flora and fauna and cultural, historical and human heritage. The great geological and morphological variability of Avellino Province, also called Irpinia, in southern Italy makes this province of particular interest for geotourists. Irpinia has a unique set of geosites, sites of cultural interest, archaeological sites and natural parks. Additionally, since ancient times, it has been a transit route between the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas and, as in all countries of the Mediterranean area, it was dominated by different races, peoples and cultures that contributed to developing its cultural identity and heritage, including its food and wine. Indeed, some Irpinian products were already known and commercialised in Roman times, including wine and olive oil. On this basis, we propose a map showing the characteristics of Avellino Province, including sites of geological, historical-archaeological and cultural value. The map will contribute to a better understanding of this province from a geotourism perspective and might guide tourists through knowledge of Irpinia.

Title: Harmonized landform regions in the glaciated Central Lowlands, USA
Abstract:
Many distinct glacial episodes in the past ~1 million years in the Central Lowlands of North America left behind a patchwork of glaciated landscapes of different ages and formed through different glacial, paraglacial, and proglacial processes. Herein, we synthesize and reconcile diverse data sources across nine states in the Central Lowlands to create a generalized landform regions map, incorporating information from surficial geology, age-constrained glacial boundaries, soil properties and parent material, and topography. The resulting map presents regions of till plains, moraines, outwash plains, and glacial lakes with ages ranging from 10.2 cal ka BP to greater than 500 cal ka BP. This new map improves on regional perspectives of the glaciated Central Lowlands by modifying and reconciling boundaries to agree with a variety of spatial data sources with finer detail. This refined map enables a more accurate spatial analysis of the landform regions by reducing noise from imprecise boundaries.

Title: Geology of the Kuiper quadrangle (H06), Mercury
Abstract:
The Kuiper quadrangle (H06) is located at the equatorial zone of Mercury and encompasses the area between 288°E – 360°E and 22.5°N – 22.5°S. Using the NASA MESSENGER data, we compiled a geological map of the quadrangle at a 1:3,000,000 scale. The mapping was mainly based on photo-interpretation of an MDIS (Mercury Dual Imaging System) monochrome 166 m/pixel basemap. Additional datasets were also considered: stereo-DTM of the region, mosaics with high-incidence illumination, and the MDIS global color mosaic. The map shows that the quadrangle is characterized by the prevalence of crater materials which are distinguished into three classes based on their degradation degree. Different plain units were also identified and classified on the basis of their density of cratering. Several structures, mainly represented by contractional faults, were mapped in all quadrangle areas. The map represents the first complete geologic survey of H06 at this scale and provides a highly detailed analysis of the Kuiper quadrangle’s surface geology.

Title: Geomorphology of the Aran Valley (Upper Garonne Basin, Central Pyrenees)
Abstract:
Geomorphological mapping in mountain regions is key for a better understanding of past and present environmental dynamics. Here, we present a 1:25000 scale geomorphological map covering 553 km2 of the Aran Valley, Upper Garonne Basin (Central Pyrenees). The map identifies 44 different geomorphological units classified under glacial, periglacial, nival, karst, slope, alluvial, and fluvial categories. The area includes geomorphic evidence of past Quaternary glaciations reconstructed based on the distribution of moraines from the valley floor to the highest cirques. Following deglaciation of the valley, the landscape was mainly reshaped by periglacial, slope, alluvial and fluvial processes. In addition to paleoenvironmental reconstruction, the map can also be used to promote geoheritage and geoconservation, as well as for planning. As such, it is of relevance for areas exposed to natural hazards, since present-day slope failures and debris flows frequently impact the villages and infrastructures across the valley floor.

Title: Italian seismic amplification factors for peak ground acceleration and peak ground velocity
Abstract:
Ground motion modification over large areas is generally evaluated by focusing on source effects disregarding local lithostratigraphic site conditions. Hence, amplification maps of peak ground acceleration and peak ground velocity are proposed to improve the forecast of ground motion on a national scale. Topological information about litho-type successions and soil mechanical behaviour were retrieved from the Italian database of seismic microzonation and more than 30 million of seismic site response analyses were performed to quantify the amplification factors (i.e. the ratio between expected ground motion at the site of interest and that at the outcropping engineering bedrock). The maximum value of the amplified peak ground acceleration on the Italian territory results in about twice as much as the value expected at the outcropping of the engineering bedrock. Finally, damage scenario maps based on the amplified ground motion could be produced as a supporting tool for urban planning and emergency system management.

Title: Permafrost-based geomorphology of the Mt. Foscagno - Mt. Forcellina ridge (Adda – Inn River basins, Central Italian Alps)
Abstract:
The permafrost-based geomorphological map of the Mt. Foscagno – Mt Forcellina ridge (Central Italian Alps) shows the distribution of permafrost probability (high, medium, low probability, and probable absence) obtained by the application of PERMACLIM (Guglielmin et al., 2003), a GIS-based model integrating Digital Elevation Model (DEM) topographic data and the Climatic DataBase (CDB) available from Automatic Weather Stations (AWS). In addition, the map provides information on the outcropping bedrock, the genesis and grain size of near-surface deposits, and geomorphological features with particular reference to periglacial and glacial landforms. Moreover, the map represents locations and values of ground measurements, Bottom Temperature of winter Snow cover (BTS) and Vertical Electric Soundings (VES), and the Mean Annual Air Temperature (MAAT; Guglielmin et al., 2003).

Title: Towards deciphering the Cenozoic evolution of the East Pisco Basin (southern Peru)
Abstract:
The Cenozoic succession of the East Pisco Basin preserves the sedimentary record of several episodes of deformation of the forearc crust along the Peruvian margin. The 1:50,000 scale geological map presented here encompasses an area of about 1,000 km2 lying astride the Ica River, and contributes to our understanding of the timing and mode of basin filling and deformation. Our novel two-fold megasequence framework provides a sound basis for establishing a first-order tectono-stratigraphic setting of the mid-Eocene–upper Miocene succession exposed in the study area. We interpret that the mid-Eocene to lower Oligocene succession studied in this work (megasequence P) was deposited in a single forearc basin, which was dissected into the present-day West and East Pisco basins by a fault-bounded basement high during the late Oligocene, and subsequently overlain by the Miocene fill of the East Pisco basin (megasequence N).

Title: Geology of the Cabuérniga Fault System: evolution of a large Alpine structure with Variscan inheritance
Abstract:
The Cabuérniga Fault System (CFS) extends for 150 km in E–W trend along the northern divide of the Cantabrian Mountains, near the Cantabrian Sea. This fault system was reactivated several times since the Paleozoic, and displays hydrothermal activity nowadays. We present here a detailed geological map of the whole CFS and six cross-sections distributed along strike, which allowed us to unravel the kinematic history of the individual fault segments comprising the CFS. The current CFS geometry mainly results from the reactivation of E–W Variscan thrusts and NW–SE Late-Variscan strike-slip faults during the Alpine Cycle. Reactivation took place in relation to both Permian and Mesozoic pre-orogenic extension and subsequent Cenozoic shortening. The eastern end of the CFS corresponds to a N–S structure arriving at the Cantabrian coast, while the western edge connects with the E–W trending Llanera fault, leading to an Alpine fault system extending 220 km.

Title: Geomorphology of a recently deglaciated high mountain area in Eastern Anatolia (Turkey)
Abstract:
We present a geomorphological map of the Cilo Mountain range located in southeast Turkey that illustrates the recent evolution of the second-most glacierized area of Turkey. The map was produced by the manual delineating of landforms from highresolution satellite imagery (Pleiades and Google EarthTM images). Cilo Mountain glaciation played a crucial role in the evolution of the local physical landscape and even today glaciers are significant features. After the termination of Little Ice Age, deglaciation promoted the onset of multiple and intense surface processes; widespread slope instabilities, due to permafrost melting and frost weathering processes, are still the most active processes. Such processes are further promoted by the scarcity of vegetation. The occurrence of several proglacial lakes significantly contributes to the reduction of sediment output from glaciated watersheds, influencing the evolution of proglacial plains and resulting in a variety of landforms that we identified and described in this work.

Title: The Quaternary stratigraphy of the São Paulo Basin, southeastern Brazil
Abstract:
Detailed sedimentological studies of the university main campus of São Paulo city, Brazil, revealed a significant unconformity at the top of the Cenozoic sedimentary deposits of the São Paulo Formation. This unconformity is overlapped by Quaternary sediments which can be traced in 1:20,000 scale and are here named as the Bosque Formation. This unit is characterized by poorly sorted mud deposits and very fine-grained red sand with granule- and pebble-sized clasts of the underlying São Paulo Formation. Furthermore, it overlies topographic highs of the Precambrian basement, and is laterally interfingered with fluvial terraces; it is eroded by the modern river at the lower reaches of the outcrops. The Bosque Formation records sedimentation characterized by a widespread mudflow that overlays old alluviums sediments, and was likely deposited during the beginning of the Holocene.

Title: LiDAR point clouds processing for large-scale cave mapping: a case study of the Majko dome in the Domica cave
Abstract:
The cave map, as a result of mapping in limited cave spaces, is a specific cartographic product characterized by a high degree of cartographic abstraction and subjectivity of the cave features. Over the last decade, remote sensing methods have been increasingly used in cave mapping. Specifically, the laser scanning technology can effectively record the vastly fragmented interior of the cave at a high level of detail. The presented paper demonstrates a methodology of making the high-scale cave map from LiDAR point clouds. The innovativeness of the presented approach is in the use of highly detailed model of a cave floor derived from a point cloud as a base data layer for identification of the cave features. The main benefit of the final cave map is in the diminution of the authoŕs subjective perception during the cave mapping resulting in the generalization of the cave spaces geometry and cave features.

Title: Geomorphology of the SW flank of the Doña Juana Volcanic Complex, Colombia: interplay of fluvial, denudational, structural, and volcanic processes
Abstract:
In the SW flank of the Doña Juana Volcanic Complex, Colombia, the dynamic geomorphic system responds to the complex interaction between volcanic, climatic, and tectonic driving forces, where the recent landscape (last ~20 years) is being shaped as a function of denudational processes. Despite the rapid rates of landforms development, the geomorphology of this area is poorly documented. To overcome the lack of information we mapped the area using a GeoSAR DEM and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle based DEM. This paper presents two maps, a 1:25,000 scale map and a 1:5,000 detailed map of landforms along the Humadal Creek. Detailed categorization of landforms (at 1:5,000) allowed us to identify geomorphic processes in the village of Las Mesas and rural areas that triggered hazards for the communities. The morphologic evolution interpretation of this volcanic tropical area serves as a tool for future geohazard assessment in inhabited areas with important information gaps.

Title: Geomorphological slope units of the Himalayas
Abstract:
Slope units represent surface slopes by means of polygons delimited by drainage and divide lines obtained on a digital topography. Objective slope unit delineation for a given digital elevation model is still an open issue and, often, a limitation that may dictate the use of a more traditional pixel-based approach for spatial analysis. Availability of slope unit maps facilitates many kinds of studies and allows scholars to focus on specific scientific issues rather than on preparing sound mapping units from scratch for their research. Here, we present a slope unit map of a large portion of the Himalayas. The map is prepared following a widely tested, parameter-free optimization algorithm. The area encompassed by the map is relevant to studies of the well-known 2015 Gorkha earthquake and monsoons, which makes it relevant to a vast portion of the scientific community working in natural hazards including, but not limited to, landslide scientists and practitioners. The map contains 112,674 polygons with average area of 0.38 km
$^2$2 and is published in vector form. The map is accompanied by a selection of data including morphometric and thematic quantities. In addition to describing the rationale behind the delineation of the polygonal map and selected data, we describe an application devoted to unsupervised terrain classification. We applied a k-means clustering procedure with two strategies: one at (coarser) basin scale and one at (finer) slope unit scale. We show similarities and differences between the two classification strategies, highlighting the role of the slope unit subdivision in the two cases.

Title: Bedrock surface topography of Latvia
Abstract:
A new map and digital bedrock surface elevation model of Latvia is presented with a horizontal resolution of 250 m. The local bedrock comprises largely undisturbed layers of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks covered by up to 200 m thick Quaternary strata composed mostly of glacigenic and marine sediments. The bedrock surface elevation model and the corresponding map were created by tessellation interpolation of the bedrock surface based on more than 20,000 boreholes and constrained by the present land surface. The known locations of paleo-incisions buried under Quaternary cover are indicated. The new digital map has applications in hydrogeological, environmental, and civil engineering, and fundamental and applied research.

Title: Estimation of rainfall-induced surface runoff for the Assam region, India, using the GIS-based NRCS-CN method
Abstract:
The NRCS-CN method, integrated with GIS and remote sensing, can be used for estimating curve numbers (CN) and surface runoff in geohydrological systems. The study area is divided into 63 sub-basins, and the land use land cover (LULC)-hydrologic soil group (HSG) complex is identified for each sub-basin. The CN values for three antecedent soil moisture (AMC) conditions are calculated and corrected for surface slope variations. The surface runoff depth is determined using the rainfall data for 16 years (2005–2020). The average runoff depth and mean annual precipitation ranges from 444.50 to 1960.55 mm and 936.99 to 3520.55 mm, respectively. For all sub-basins, strong correlations between runoff depth and rainfall (R2 ≥ 0.8) as well as between simulated runoff and measured runoff (R2 ≥ 0.8) are observed. The Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (NSE) values suggest that the model's efficiency is good to satisfactory.

Title: Jezero crater, Mars: application of the deep learning NOAH-H terrain classification system
Abstract:
We applied a deep learning terrain classification system, the ‘Novelty or Anomaly Hunter – HiRISE’ (NOAH-H), originally developed for the ExoMars landing sites in Oxia Planum and Mawrth Vallis, to the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover landing site in Jezero crater. NOAH-H successfully classified the terrain in four HiRISE images of Jezero even though the landforms in the Jezero study area were slightly different from those in the training dataset. We mosaicked the NOAH-H classified rasters and compared them with a manually generated photogeological map, and with Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter images. We find that grouped NOAH-H classes correspond well with the humanmade map and that individual classes are corroborated by the available ground-truth images. We conclude that our NOAH-H products can be refined for feeding into traversability analysis of the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover landing site at Oxia Planum and that they can also be used to aid the photogeological mapping process.

Title: Bioclimatic drought trend study through the application of the ombroxeric index. A case study: the province of León (Spain)
Abstract:
The ombroxeric index (OXI), a drought-indicative bioclimatic index based on the Rivas-Martínez Worldwide Bioclimatic Classification System (WBCS), was used in this work to establish the ombroxericity trends in a defined study area: the province of Leon (Spain). On the basis of large time-scale climatological gridded databases (MOPREDAS and MOTEDAS), with data from 1951 to 2010 at monthly, seasonal an annual study level, a Mann-Kendall test-based trend analysis was carried out and a geostatistical interpolation procedure, Empirical Bayesian Kriging (EBK), was applied. Statistically significant increases were revealed in the months of March and June, as well as in the summer period. These increments are greater in the southernmost areas and could be related with changes in some teleconnection patterns. With this up-to-date approach, besides being aware of the direct bioclimate-altering consequences of the climate change, the prediction of the implications in the vegetation is made possible, due to the typological-predictive character of the model of climate-vegetation reciprocity provided by the WBCS.

Title: Quantifying and visualizing 32 years of agricultural land use change in Kabul, Afghanistan
Abstract:
Agriculture is a key element of Afghanistan’s economy and plays an essential role supporting the expanding population and urban development of Kabul, the country’s capital. Over the past decades the urban landscape has changed substantially and agricultural land use has shifted in its extent, location, and density. Identifying trends in the amount of agricultural area, as an indication of food production, is important for city planning and humanitarian efforts. While many studies have investigated Afghanistan's agriculture, most are conducted at scales that preclude their use for local-scale decision-making. This study quantifies agricultural extent across 32 years from 1988 to 2020 at local scale using simple and repeatable Landsat multispectral image analysis. The volume of data in time-series analysis complicatesvisualization of key findings and long-term trends. This study also explored visualization methods such as zonal mapping, animations, and the isolation of key themes in a 2D static map.

Title: Geomorphology of the Kalamas river delta (Epirus, Greece)
Abstract:
This article presents the geomorphological mapping of the Kalamas river delta in Thesprotia (Epirus, north-western Greece). The Kalamas (also known as Thyamis) is one of the three main deltas of this region. Detailed mapping was performed through analysis of field geomorphological surveys and interpretation of old maps, satellite images, aerial photos, and DEM. The evolution of the delta as well as its current morphology derives from complex interactions between alluvial, marine dynamics and human activities. Several palaeo-channels have been identified, and the recent morphology of the delta has been altered by the construction of a dam and the canalization of the river during the second half of the twentieth century. The coastline is complex, and mainly consists of lagoons, sandy barriers and sand spits. Since part of the delta has been prograding for about fifty years, the current dynamics indicate erosion as well as progressive submersion of these low coasts.

Title: Coralligenous banks along the western and northern continental shelf of Sardinia Island (Mediterranean Sea)
Abstract:
Mapping of coralligenous banks was carried out along the continental shelf of the northern and western margin of Sardinia Island (Italy, western Mediterranean Sea) in the context of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/EC). Coralligenous banks are bioconstructions produced by calcareous coralline algae. Seafloor mapping was carried out through multibeam echosounder surveys and video transects, using a Remote Operating Vehicles (ROV), in areas not formerly explored. A high-resolution digital model of the seabed (DTM) was obtained from multibeam data. A total surface of 436 km2 of sparse patches of coralligenous banks was mapped in the depth range ~40-160 m. A final map of coralligenous habitat distributions along the western and northern continental shelf of Sardinia (scale 1:250,000) was produced. The base-map is formed by the shaded DTM of the seabed. Other mapped features include the edge of the continental shelf and the distribution of rocky seabed.

Title: Stratigraphic and tectonic architecture of the Middle Jurassic-Upper Cretaceous at the southern front of the Central High Atlas (Morocco): a cartographic revision
Abstract:
The Middle Jurassic (Bathonian)-Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) deposits exposed at the southern front of the Central High Atlas (CHA, Southern Morocco) include thick fluvial successions largely undifferentiated in previous studies. These continental strata record a long period of relief formation due to crustal shortening and subsequent denudation that predated the Cenozoic, syn-collisional, tectonic inversion of the CHA. This study, carried out through mapping along more than 270 km between Ouarzazate and Errachidia towns, firstly proposes a rock-stratigraphic unified scheme based on a framework of unconformity-bounded stratigraphic units, including sub-units, differentiated for their specific depositional meaning. Secondly, the geological maps and related cross-sections illustrate the evidence of syn-depositional shortening with distinct deformation styles, outlining pre- and syn-collisional tectonic inversion.

Title: Soluble phosphorus content of Lake Balaton sediments
Abstract:
Lake Balaton has undergone rapid eutrophication in the last decades causing dramatic deterioration in water quality. Although water quality has been successfully improved, significant algal blooms have been experienced over the past years again. Since the high level of phosphorus is primarily responsible for algal blooms, it is necessary to explore the status of the nutrient content of the lake sediment. In this study, a 100 m resolution map was created by the reanalysis of an archive database (with measured ammonium-lactate extracted phosphorus concentration) using the regression kriging method with topography, hydrodynamics and vegetation auxiliary variables. The regression model with 0.23 R2 does not indicate a strong correlation with the auxiliary variables. However, based on the result of the validation, the accuracy of the final map after kriging was high (R2=0.81). The reanalysis of soluble phosphorus should represent a significant input to Lake Balaton's water quality management planning.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the central and southern Chilotan Archipelago (42.2°S–43.5°S), northwestern Patagonia
Abstract:
We present a geomorphic map of the glacial landforms associated with the Golfo Corcovado ice lobe in northwestern Patagonia. Built upon prior studies, our map elaborates on the central and southern sectors of Isla Grande de Chiloé and neighboring islands. Through a combination of remote sensing techniques and exhaustive fieldwork, we identified a suite of ice-marginal, subglacial, and glaciofluvial features created by the Golfo Corcovado ice lobe during four maxima within the last glacial cycle, in none of which the ice-front reached the Pacific coast of Isla Grande de Chiloé. Our mapping builds a foundation and provides insights for future interdisciplinary research on the Late Quaternary sequence of glacial and paleoclimatic events in this key sector of northwestern Patagonia.

Title: The spatial relationship between patterns of disappeared streams and residential development in Portland, Oregon, USA
Abstract:
Disappeared streams are streams that have been buried, removed, or moved as part of the urbanization process. We identified disappeared streams in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area using historical topographic maps for four time periods, and related them to the history of urban development. The historical maps were used to identify streams visible in older maps but not shown in a more recent version. From 1852 to 1895, 15% of streams disappeared, but the majority of streams disappeared between 1896 and 1953 (65%). This trend continued mainly in suburban areas after 1954 with 12% of streams being removed from 1954 to 1989 and 8% from 1990 to 2017. Stream disappearance can be linked to residential development and prior conversion of land for agriculture depending on the area and time period. Mapping disappeared streams can help urban spatial planners identify where stream daylighting or restoration could be targeted.

Title: Subglacial meltwater routes of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet
Abstract:
Subglacial drainage systems are crucial elements of glaciers and ice sheets because they modulate ice flow velocity. However, logistical challenges of measuring subglacial processes beneath contemporary ice and natural limitations in long-term monitoring hinder our understanding about their spatio-temporal evolution. Subglacial meltwater landforms created by palaeo-ice sheets are records of past subglacial drainage systems and offer the potential to study their large-scale development throughout deglaciation. Although collectively recording subglacial drainage, individual meltwater landforms such as eskers, meltwater channels and meltwater corridors, which comprise tunnel valleys and meltwater tracks (assemblages of landforms in broad, elongated paths with irregular surface texture), have mostly been investigated as separate entities. Using high-resolution (1–2 m) digital elevation models, we map integrated networks of subglacial meltwater landforms, herein called subglacial meltwater routes, on an ice-sheet scale in Fennoscandia. Our map provides a basis for future research on the long-term evolution of subglacial drainage networks and its effect on ice dynamics of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet.

Title: Late orogenic tectonics in the Ligurian Alps (Italy): constraints from syntectonic sedimentary deposits at the top of an exhumed plate interface
Abstract:
This new map at 1:25,000 scale covers an area in the Western Alps (Italy), where the HP metamorphic basement is covered by a (predominantly clastic) late- and post-orogenic upper Eocene-lower Miocene cover. This provides unequivocal evidence that exhumation of the metamorphic units was accomplished by the lower Oligocene. The basement is made up of tectonic units with different metamorphic peaks that coupled during the exhumation path. Both basement and cover are affected by long-wavelength, asymmetric folds and thrust faults with top-to-E-NE vergence; this deformation phase has long been interpreted as linked to the rotation of the Corsica-Sardinia block and contemporary opening of the Liguro-Balearic basin and beginning of the Apennine orogeny. We particularly investigated some of these structures that crop out in the mapped area to give further constraints on their distribution, type and kinematics and to frame them in a larger picture of left-hand strike-slip tectonics.

Title: Optimal model utilization of arable land with regard to food self-sufficiency and soil protection
Abstract:
The model of optimal utilization of arable land presents a new way of farming evaluation. The main map sheet consists of four parts, which logically follow each other. The first part shows which natural conditions (general soil and climatic character, local risk of water erosion) were taken into account in the creation of model crop rotations. The resulting production of biomass according to these crop rotations follows (part 2). The third part evaluates the production, consumption and biomass balance of crop groups in terms of self-sufficiency (food, feed and energy needs). The impact of biomass production on soil quality, according to the balance of soil organic matter, is shown in Part 4. This returns the cycle to the natural conditions of biomass production. The resulting map, therefore, shows a state in which the soil is sufficiently protected against water erosion and the biomass production is sufficient to cover all needs.

Title: Geology and structure of the Serre Massif upper crust: a look in to the late-Variscan strike–slip kinematics of the Southern European Variscan chain
Abstract:
A new geological-structural map of the southern Serre Massif (SM), in the south-central part of the Calabrian-Peloritani-Orogen (CPO), is provided. CPO is a ribbon-like microplates puzzle, originally belonging to the southern European Variscan Belt and, later involved into the Alpine geodynamics of the central Mediterranean Area. The SM represents one of the key European Variscan basement relicts, because of its exhumation mechanisms as well as for the absence of any Alpine metamorphic overprint. This map has the aim to better delineate the sequence of the Variscan blasto-deformational relationships consisting in a prograde multistage history, followed by an extensional/transpressional multistage retrograde evolution, which triggered the intrusion of the former plutonic products. The mylonitic fabric resulted finally replaced by the effects of the late- to post-kinematic plutonic intrusions coeval with a former late-Variscan exhumation stage, followed, during Mesozoic, by carbonate platform sedimentation, before to be completed exhumed during the Oligocene-Miocene Alpine stages.

Title: Geology of the contact area between the Internal and External Nappe Zone of the Sardinian Variscan Belt (Italy): new insights on the complex polyphase deformation occurring in the hinterland-foreland transition zone of collisional belts
Abstract:
This study aims to decipher the structural evolution of a sector of the Nappe Zone in the Sardinian Variscan Belt. We investigated the Barbagia Thrust between the Meana Sardo Unit (belonging to the External Nappe Zone) in the footwall and the Barbagia Unit (belonging to the Internal Nappe Zone) in the hanging wall. Combining the geological survey with meso- and microstructural analysis, we realized a 1:10.000 scale geological map highlighting the polyphasic evolution developed under low-grade metamorphic conditions during the Variscan orogeny. Both units preserve (i) an early phase generally observed far from the tectonic contact and mainly in the Meana Sardo Unit (D1), (ii) a syn-nappe ductile deformation linked to the Barbagia Thrust activity and a top-to-the S-SW sense of shear (D2) and (iii) a large-scale nappe refolding (D3). A late extensional stage (D4), with the development of collapse folds, marks the end of the orogenic cycle.

Title: Mapping population distribution from open address data: application to mainland Portugal
Abstract:
Mapping population distribution remains a common need in various fields of studies. Several approaches and methodologies have been adopted to obtain high-resolution population distribution grids. The use of addresses data to obtain gridded population distribution maps emerges as one of the more recent and accurate approaches. The increasing dissemination and availability of geo-data and more specifically address data allow us to obtain updated, granular and high spatial resolution population distribution maps. This paper describes a bottom-up open addresses data mapping-based approach of gridded population distribution with a fine spatial resolution. Through a QGIS plugin, an adaptation of the housing unit methodology was implemented to obtain 500 m × 500 and 250 m × 250 m population grids for mainland Portugal. The results showed that the use of reliable addresses databases can generate gridded population distribution maps with a high degree of adjustment to reality.

Title: Service sector employment in Great Britain 1841–2011
Abstract:
The most detailed published census data on occupations and industries from nine British censuses between 1841 and 2011 have been computerised, and original methods developed both to re-district them from constantly changing historical districts to the 380 Local Authority Districts reported on by the 2011 census and to re-classify them to the 20 ‘Sections’ of the 2007 Standard Industrial Classification. This large dataset is then used to reveal new insights into the long-run evolution of geographical unevenness in the British economy. Initial analysis reported here maps the total percentage in the service sector for 1841, 1931, 1991 and 2011, with original data for key sectors presented for 1841, 1931 and 1991. While counts for individual districts and ‘Sections’ must be used carefully, overall trends appear robust: the localities of Britain have not just been moving steadily towards economies dominated by the service sector, they have steadily been becoming more similar.

Title: Reproductive work as a limitation for working women in Monterrey, Mexico
Abstract:
Monterrey Metropolitan Zone (Mexico) is characterised by industrial activity and its proximity to the border with the US. In 2010, its 13 municipalities provided infrastructure and services that allow people to live, work or rest, but also a specific function (housing, work, or leisure) due to the prevalence of one of these, impacting the daily life of the population by gender. This article explores the relationship between travel distance to work and reproductive work for working women. Using data by the Extended Questionnaire of the Census Sample of the 2010 Population and Housing Census, home-work commuting routes were mapped at the municipal level, combined with four variables of reproductive work. Our study demonstrates that as the reproductive work increases for working women, they experience spatial segregation since they cannot travel as far as the ones with lower reproductive work because they are expected to take care of the reproductive work.

Title: Multivariate analysis of socioeconomic profiles in the Ruhr area, Germany
Abstract:
The aim of this article and associate Main Map is to highlight the social and economic diversity of the Ruhr area in Germany through the use of multivariate analysis and visualization. To this end we combine two different datasets. Demographic parameters stemming from the 2011 German census and socioeconomic indicators obtained from the microdialog of the German post service. Due to the different spatial resolution of the two datasets, we aggregated the data at the neighbourhood (Stadtteil) level. The multivariate analysis was carried out at this scale using Self-Organizing Maps (SOM), an artificial neuron network, which uses an unsupervised learning mechanism for projecting multidimensional data in a low (in our case two) dimensional space. First we used a visualization technique to better comprehend the relationship between our observations via reducing the dimensionality or complexity of our input data. At the same time, we established a global statistical relationships between the indicators. Finally, using these results we built clusters for revealing the distribution of socioeconomic profiles over the whole region. Our results demonstrate that structural inequalities resulting from the processes of industrialization/deindustrialization in the region are still widely persistent and result in characteristic patterns along the three main rivers, the Lippe, Emscher and the Ruhr. In close connection with this, three types of societal segregation patterns become clearly evident in the Ruhr area, namely nationality, age and economic power.

Title: Internal migration: census data as a gold standard for insight and visualisation
Abstract:
The census of population, conducted by three statistical offices in the United Kingdom, provides a unique resource for measuring and understanding internal migration patterns and propensities. It is the only source that asks an entire population, once every ten years, about their migration behaviour and as such provides a valuable resource for assessing the impact that migration has on the size and composition of local populations. The data are attribute rich in that they provide information about migration patterns by demographic group and are spatially detailed so provide a view of the impact that migration has on small areas. Despite their utility, the data have limitations, not least that they are only collected once per decade so only provide a snapshot of the UK migration system. This paper utilises data from the previous four censuses to present maps showing how migration propensity and efficiency has changed between 1981 and 2011.

Title: The spatiotemporal dimension of population change in Ireland: visualisation of growth and shrinkage in Irish Electoral Divisions (1986–2016)
Abstract:
Population shrinkage has gained attention from academics and policymakers in recent years, due to the long-term implications the phenomenon has for public service delivery and the viability of urban and rural communities. We visualise the socio-temporal evolution of population shrinkage and growth, utilising a spatially rectified dataset containing population data from seven Census of Population covering the 1986–2016 period in the Republic of Ireland. Spatial changes in population distribution are visualised in a map that classifies small administrative units using a spatial typology distinguishing between those experiencing population growth or shrinkage, across the 30-year period. The temporal dimensions of these developments are considered in a sequence of inset maps that apply the same typology to identify the intercensal changes. Overall, the map facilitates the visual communication of long-run population trends, the identification of areas experiencing limited or no growth, and indicates the relative consistency of these trends over time.

Title: Archaeological sites and palaeoenvironments of Pleistocene West Africa
Abstract:
African paleoanthropological studies typically focus on regions of the continent such as Eastern, Southern and Northern Africa, which hold the highest density of Pleistocene archaeological sites. Nevertheless, lesser known areas such as West Africa also feature a high number of sites. Here, we present a high-resolution map synthesising all well contextualised Pleistocene archaeological sites present in Sub-Saharan West Africa. A detailed elevation and ecoregional map was developed and correlated with palaeoanthropological sites. This map is supplemented with 1,000- and 2000-year interval climate reconstructions over the last 120,000 years for three subregions of high archaeological interest. The presented archaeological sites were compiled by reviewing published literature, and selected based on: (1) documented archaeological stratification or >10 characteristic artefacts, (2) published coordinates, and (3) published chronometric ages or relative dating. The data presented here elucidates the current state of knowledge of Pleistocene West Africa, highlighting the regional potential for human evolutionary studies.

Title: Upper Palaeolithic site probability in Lower Austria – a geoarchaeological multi-factor approach
Abstract:
In archaeology, predictive models play a key role in understanding the interactions between humans and the palaeo-environment. They are also of great value for cultural heritage management and planning purposes. This is particularly true for Palaeolithic sites in the east Austrian loess landscape, which are often deeply embedded in sediment sequences. In this study, we analyse the geospatial behaviour of 23 Upper Palaeolithic sites in Lower Austria. Hereby, we apply a new approach, which combines the advantages of a classical deductive method with the capabilities of machine learning, implemented via the MaxEnt software. The result is a predictive model for an area of 7850 km², exploring the potential for the presence of Upper Palaeolithic sites. The model highlights several spatial dynamics of site probability in the study area. Possible sources of inaccuracies within the source data and the methodology are critically discussed.

Title: The use of prehistoric ‘big data’ for mapping early human cultural networks
Abstract:
The archaeological record is one piece of the puzzle in understanding the evolution of humans, helping to trace the cultural connections between different species and their technologies, as well as their expansion in time and space. Here we demonstrate a method for mapping the boundaries, centers, and peripheries of ancient cultures, as well as the technological similarities between different cultures. The proposed workflow includes: a systematic collection of archaeological information in a database; a process to infer the similarities between assemblages and generate a network; and finally, a graphical method for big data visualization, a technique also used in social media analysis. We present the geography of multiple cultural complexes that span several stages of cultural evolution from the Lower to the Upper Paleolithic (Stone Age) and involve several species of the genus Homo. Finally, we discuss some alternative trajectories in which this workflow can be developed further.

Title: Palaeoenvironments and landscape diversity in Egypt during the Last Interglacial and its implications on the dispersal of Homo sapiens
Abstract:
The Last Interglacial period is important for the spread of humans from Africa to Eurasia. Significant wetter climatic conditions allowed humans to live in the present-day arid landscape in Northeastern Africa. However, not only the environment but also other parameters, such as the topography and the availability of good raw material sources, impact past human behaviour. Our mapping with the integration of archaeological sites and environmental archives clarifies regional differences and similarities across Egypt. The Eastern Desert is characterized by a small structured landscape with an above-average occurrence of eligible raw material and it differs from the more homogeneous landscape of the Western Desert with its large palaeo-lakes. The given map allows a more distinct evaluation of regional variabilities for Out-of-Africa’s northern migration route as a complex intermediate scale between a global and local approach to human-environment relations.

Title: Revealing patterns and connections in the historic landscape of the northern Apennines (Vetto, Italy)
Abstract:
In the Northern Apennines, significant modifications to the characteristic historical features of landscapes have occurred since the 1950s as agriculture declined in importance and villages were progressively depopulated. Today, European policies are promoting the repopulation of these regions to help preserve the cultural identity of territories and reduce demographic pressure inurban areas. Such initiatives increase the need for cultural and natural landscape management to be better integrated using interdisciplinary approaches. Sustainable landscape management is a dynamic process involving the formulation of strategies to underpin the preservation of landscape heritage and foster local development based on the values and opportunities provided by landscapes themselves. This study uses landscape archaeology and spatial statistics to provide insights into which parts of the historic landscape retain the greatest time-depth and which parts reflect the more recent radical change, enabling an understanding which goes beyond the basic spatial relationships between landscape components.

Title: Fuzzy model-based reconstruction of paleovegetation in Ethiopia
Abstract:
We introduce a new method to compute plant distribution in Ethiopia under paleoclimatic conditions using fuzzy logic. Using a published map of the potential vegetation for Ethiopia we decipher the boundary conditions for the main vegetation units shown, reflecting modern climatic conditions for temperature and precipitation in this region. Fuzzy logic using these climatic values on a GIS platform then derived the computational map of the potential vegetation. Comparing it with the original map shows a general correspondence of about 90%. By changing the underlying climate parameters, we then used this model for hypothetical paleoclimatic conditions to simulate the vegetational response on these changed climate settings. Finally, vegetational response maps for Ethiopia are presented for two scenarios: (i) a colder and drier condition (such as the Last Glacial Maximum) and (ii) a warmer and wetter condition (such as the last interglacial) than today.

Title: Landscape and geology as controls on Bronze Age human dispersal: a case study from Sardinia (Italy)
Abstract:
The interaction of human dispersal patterns with landscape features can in many cases provide useful information on the sustenance strategies of past communities. Mapping the present landscape is a necessary step in recognizing the nature, impact, and diffusion of the processes which drive the behaviour of past populations and modify palaeolandscapes. We constructed a map of the land units in the southwestern corner of Sardinia and compared them with the distribution of known Bronze Age megalithic towers called nuraghes. The vast majority of nuraghes are near the plains or at mid elevations close to the river network, in areas with the highest landscape diversity. The occurrence of nuraghes also seems to be related to elevated outcrops giving the advantage of a raised position and stable foundations. Denudation processes, Late Holocene sea level rise, and anthropogenic disturbance seem to be the most important factors driving changes in the palaeolandscape.

Title: The landscape of the Late Bronze Age royal tomb of Seddin (NE Germany): linking geomorphology, archaeology, and historic evidence
Abstract:
The monumental Late Bonze Age royal tomb of Seddin is located in the old morainic landscape of the Prignitz region, northeastern Germany. Together with other richly equipped burials and a row of stone pits in its direct vicinity, it provides evidence for the presence of an elite from the nineth to sixth centuries BCE in this region. Our map emphasizes the well-chosen location of the royal tomb in relation to the spatial arrangement of other archaeological monuments that together form an ensemble of a ritual landscape. We trace legacies of land use from the Bronze Age to the present against the backdrop of Late Quaternary landscape evolution. These include the Bronze Age landscape (re-)organization for ritual and economic purposes, its medieval use for arable farming, its economic use and settlement history in historic times, and modern times melioration of agricultural areas that together form the palimpsest of the present-day landscape.

Title: Impacts of sea-level rise on prehistoric coastal communities: land use and risk perception during the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in central Mediterranean Spain
Abstract:
Mapping methods to represent the interplay between environmental changes and prehistoric communities were investigated through a case study of the Mediterranean Iberia coastal landscape in the context of Holocene sea-level rise. We developed a four-dimension GIS-based analysis of the environmental evolution based on primary data acquisition (fieldwork, laboratory analyses) and spatial modeling of paleo-Digital Elevation Models (paleoDEMs). Five paleoDEMs were computed, representing key stages of the morphogenetic evolution between 9000 and 7000 years ago. Second, each paleoDEM was used as input in a Site-Catchment Analysis (a 1- and 2-hour walking distance from the archeological sites). Finally, we provide a bird-view visualization of the landscape evolution, centered on the perspective of an individual located at the archeological sites. By shifting the focus to the human scale, this GIS-assisted mapping allows refining assessments of the impact of environmental changes on settlement and subsistence patterns during the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic periods.

Title: A diachronic perspective on lithic raw material procurement strategies and mobility: case studies from the Final Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic in Central Europe
Abstract:
Analysis of prehistoric lithic artefacts helps to answer a wide array of questions concerning archaeological contexts and prehistoric human behaviour. During three projects, we studied the origin of the raw materials of 32 inventories from the Late Glacial and Early Holocene in northwest and southern Germany. The basal petrographic analysis was conducted by the geologist and petro-archaeologist Jehanne Affolter. In addition, data of more than 60 published assemblages from Switzerland as well as western and southern Germany were recorded. The origin of lithic raw materials from most of these inventories was determined using the microfacial method. GIS-based maps of the raw material sources from the aforementioned regions are compiled and raw material catchment areas of the Stone Age sites are mapped. The area calculations of the raw material catchments revealed a diachronic alternation of larger and smaller areas, which above all suggest culturally determined cycles in the range of mobility and communication networks.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Notsarula and Chanchakhi river valleys, Georgian Caucasus
Abstract:
Detailed glacial geomorphological maps are valuable for identifying target sites for palaeoglaciological reconstructions and thus for palaeoclimate inferences. In this study, we present the first detailed glacial geomorphological mapping of the landform assemblages produced by the former glaciers in the Notsarula (42°45′44″N 43°38′29″E) and Chanchakhi (42°42′5″N 43°40′42″E) river valleys, Georgian Caucasus. Our goal is to create a high-resolution (1:33,000 scale) glacial geomorphological map of this area (237 km2) and provide a detailed and accurate distribution of glacier-related features (see Main Map). Several field investigations between 2010 and 2022 along with detailed remote sensing surveys have been conducted for this glacial geomorphological mapping. The mapped landforms indicate multiple readvance or stillstands of valley glaciers across the study area. The largest and complex glacier body likely existed in the Bubistskali River gorge (42°43′16″N 43°43′32″E). Well-preserved moraine landforms in this valley suggest at least five large and several relatively small glacier readvances or stillstands occurred during the Late Quaternary. The simple-valley-type (without branches) glaciers were also probably present in other tributary valleys of the Chanchakhi River basin at that time. This map can be used for further geomorphological investigation as well as to support future geochronological work in the Greater Caucasus.

Title: Exploring the public bus ridership loss and recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic: a spatiotemporal analysis using smart card data
Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the demand of public transport systems. Nevertheless, the global decrease and recovery of users has been uneven both in time and space. It is important to understand the extent of the unequal resilience of service areas with different characteristics. The objective of this study is to map the patterns of variations in the use of public bus at different scales, urban and regional. The data used were collected by an Automated Fare Collection system based on the use of smart travel cards in the Camp de Tarragona region (Southern Catalonia, Spain). Our approach has the potential to be applied in multiscale studies in other areas with similar data sources. This study also illustrates the potential that data generated by Automated Fare Collection systems have for a better understanding of uneven spatial and temporal patterns of public bus ridership during crises such as a pandemic.
Data collected by Automated Fare Collection systems allow longitudinal analyses to be carried out at different scales and resolutions.Such analyses are key to understanding unequal territorial patterns and the evolution of the public bus system.Automated Fare Collection data can be used to measure the resilience of public bus to disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic.The construction of data visualizations can provide new insights in mobility studies, making them useful tools in the decision-making process.

Title: UAV and field survey observations on the November 26th 2022 Celario flowslide, Ischia Island (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
On 26th November 2022, a heavy cloudburst affected Ischia Island (Southern Italy) causing a flash flood and triggering several flowslides. The most affected municipality was Casamicciola Terme, where this event produced 12 casualties, more than 200 people evacuated and several damages to the buildings and the road network. The largest flowslide involved Celario watershed, which started as a small slide (around 10 m3) on the top of Mt. Epomeo at 703 m a.s.l. of height and impacted downward at 645 m a.s.l., successively channelising in the catchment. This study summarises the geological and geomorphological evidence collected during the field investigation of the Celario flowslide and analyses the remotely sensed UAV data to reconstruct the occurred scenario. Finally, some considerations on the relationships between the occurred damage and the flowslide impact are discussed.

Title: Measuring land-use mixing across the Republic of Ireland: source data comparisons
Abstract:
Historical patterns of land-use development across many countries in the Global North have generally been characterised by land-use segregation, low-density settlements, and limited transport accessibility. This can lead to inefficient regional developmental patterns and can increase the environmental degradation attributable to regional expansion. Numerous metrics and datasets have been employed to infer the sustainability and efficiency of these developments. Here, we quantify and visualise the relative entropy of land-use configurations across the Republic of Ireland using a novel dataset. Specifically, we combine the discipline-standard CORINE Land Cover 2018 dataset and OpenStreetMap data, which provides more thorough land-use classifications in urban areas. Spatial differences in relative entropy are visualised using a spatial typology distinguishing between areas exhibiting low and high levels of relative entropy. Our Main Map visualises the coverage of both CORINE and OpenStreetMap datasets, compares relative entropy estimates for both datasets, and illustrates the disparities in cross-dataset estimates.

Title: Reconstruction of the structural setting of the north-eastern side of the high Agri Valley (Southern Apennines, Italy) based on detailed field mapping
Abstract:
The Southern Apennines consist of a Cenozoic to Quaternary fold and thrust belt characterized by a complex structural architecture. In the axial portion of the chain, corresponding to the Agri Valley, folds and faults with multiple styles formed during the progressive emplacement of various tectonic units, derived from different paleodomains. In the available geological maps, the geometry of these tectonic structures is often hindered by scarce cartographic detail due to the use of basic stratigraphic subdivisions. Therefore, at the aim to better define these structures and contextually update the outcropping stratigraphic units, we realized a detailed geological map, which take into consideration not only the formation as basic stratigraphic units, but also finer subdivisions such as members or beds. Using this approach, we improved the stratigraphy of the area, we recognized new geological units and, eventually, we reconstructed the structural setting, and the tectonic evolution of the Agri Valley in detail.

Title: Morphostructural mapping of Borealis Planitia, Mercury
Abstract:
Orbital data from the MESSENGER spacecraft show that a significant portion of Mercury’s northern hemisphere is covered by smooth plains, which are interpreted to be flood volcanic material and/or impact melt. The smooth plains show pervasive tectonic structures and encompass a broad raised bulge of uncertain geophysical interpretation. In this work, we focus on the mapping of all the morphostructures within the northern smooth plains, aiming at providing a useful dataset for further studies about the mapped area. The structural map is obtained through a twofold process: first with an automatic mapping, using an algorithm to identify all the lineaments from a DEM; and second with a visual inspection and classification of the results of the algorithm in a GIS environment. The final maps are drafted at two different scales, 1:300,000 and 1:600,000. With this approach, we mapped and characterized more than fifty thousand lines marking scarps on the surface, creating a database with several morphometric attributes for each of the identified scarps (e.g. length, azimuth, and height), which can be used for geostatistical study of smooth plains tectonics. Our structural map reveals that: (i) the area is broadly dominated by wrinkle ridges, ghost crater assemblages of lineaments, and scarps related to impact crater processes (e.g. radial faults, secondary crater chains, ejecta emplacement) and that (ii) the amount of strain was not evenly accommodated throughout the northern smooth plains.

Title: Tectonic coupling of oceanic and continental units in the Southwestern Alps (Western Liguria, Italy) revealed by structural mapping
Abstract:
We described the structural architecture of a key area along the Western Ligurian Alps where a stack of oceanic and continental units showing Low- to very Low-grade metamorphic imprint is exposed. We combine a new dataset by integrating stratigraphic, structural and metamorphic data to produce an original 1:12.500 geological map. The high-resolution mapping along with multiscale structural analysis revealed a large-scale superposition of fold and thrust systems extending for more than 50 km2. These field data and available thermobarometric estimates provide constraints to decipher the tectonic evolution of the Southwestern Alps and highlight the shallow crustal coupling of continental and oceanic units during top-to-the-southwest thrusting, the latter was strongly evident in the investigated area.

Title: Evolution of stone fish weirs in Jibei area, Penghu Archipelago (eighteenth to twenty-first century)
Abstract:
Jibei Island, in Taiwan's Penghu area, is famous for its abundance of stone fish weirs (SFWs). This research used historical charts, archives, and high-resolution orthophoto images for the SFWs mapping and spatial pattern analysis exercise. We found that the birthplace of SFWs was in the southern part of Jibei Port and Mudou Isle. In the early stage of the Japanese governing period (1895–1945), SFWs were mainly constructed in the North and North-West parts of the Jibel Isle and gradually migrated toward the east and north. In the middle to late Japanese governing period, the SFWs’ construction hot zone was in the South-West and South-East sides of the Jibei Isle. Understanding the SFW's evolution in the Jibel area is critical for local and regional cultural history, offering insights into land use and fish culture in Penghu and shedding light on ancient fishing culture in the broader pan-Pacific region.

Title: Oxia Planum, Mars, classified using the NOAH-H deep-learning terrain classification system
Abstract:
We present a map of Oxia Planum, Mars, the landing site for the ExoMars Rover. This shows surface texture and aeolian bedform distribution, classified using a deep learning (DL) system. A hierarchical classification scheme was developed, categorising the surface textures observed at the site. This was then used to train a DL network, the ‘Novelty or Anomaly Hunter – HiRISE’ (NOAH-H). The DL applied the classification scheme across a wider area than could have been mapped manually. The result showed strong agreement with human-mapped areas reserved for validation. The resulting product is presented in two ways, representing the two principle levels of the classification scheme. ‘Descriptive classes’ are purely textural in nature, making them compatible with a machine learning approach. These are then combined into ‘interpretive groups’, broader thematic classes, which provide an interpretation of the landscape. This step allows for a more intuitive analysis of the results by human users.

Title: Integrating landslide magnitude in the susceptibility assessment of the City of Doboj, using machine learning and heuristic approach
Abstract:
In this work, landslide assessment of the Doboj City area was modeled by combining machine learning and heuristic tools. The machine learning part was used to map the Morphometric factor. i.e. probability of landslides based on relation between the magnitude of events and morphometric parameters: elevation, distance to streams, slope, profile curvature, and aspect. The Random Forest and Support Vector Machines algorithms were implemented in the learning protocol, which included several strategies: balancing of the training/testing set size, algorithm optimization via cross-validation, and cross-scaling. The best performing Morphometric factor ap was created by learning on 50 m and testing on 25 m dataset. The heuristic part was used for modeling of Lithological factor and Land Cover factor maps, by expert-driven scoring of their units, within 0-1 range of values. The final Susceptibility map was obtained by multiplying all three factor maps resulting in a high-performing model with AUC=0.97 and acc=92%.

Title: Metallogeny of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico
Abstract:
The state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico includes copious metallic deposits of distinct types that were formed in several tectonothermal events since the Proterozoic. This work integrates a large database of mineral occurrences and deposits in Oaxaca. The 1:850,000 scale metallogenetic map depicts the location of deposits, mining regions, and mining districts on a lithological base, along with a summarized metallogenic history of the state and the distribution of the tectonostratigraphic terranes. We briefly describe the most relevant features of each mineralized area and the characteristics of the metallogenic epochs of Oaxaca. All the geolocation information was organized in GIS format.

Title: Geological features of the Special Nature Reserve of Montalbano Jonico Badlands (Basilicata, Southern Italy)
Abstract:
A geological, geomorphological and geo-touristic map, at 1:5000 scale, has been produced for the most representative area of the regional ‘Special Nature Reserve of Montalbano Jonico Badlands’, with the aim to represent the scientific and landscape features which allowed the establishment of the Reserve. The area is located in the Province of Matera (Basilicata), on the southwestern sector of the Apennines Quaternary foredeep, in Southern Italy. The map highlights stratigraphic signatures of international interest and badland landscapes, imprinted on a clayey marine succession straddling the Early-Middle Pleistocene boundary. This stratigraphic interval can be considered as an international reference section for global paleoclimatic signatures during Marine Oxygen Isotopic Stages 20–18 and for the base of the Middle Pleistocene Subseries/Subepoch. With the goal to disseminate these knowledges, to improve future research and to promote sustainable geo-tourism, the map allows visitors to enjoy the scientific features and scenery of the Reserve.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the Republic of Karelia, northwest Russia: the Younger Dryas-early Holocene ice marginal zone
Abstract:
At present, there remains uncertainty surrounding the Younger Dryas-early Holocene glacial history of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet in northwest Arctic Russia. This stems from a lack of high-resolution ice sheet-scale geomorphological data in the region. To address this, this paper presents 15,355 meltwater and morainic landforms in a new large-scale, glacial geomorphological map of the Younger Dryas-early Holocene ice marginal zone in the Republic of Karelia, northwest Russia. Individual landforms were mapped from relief-shaded renditions of the 2 m resolution ArcticDEM alongside 1 m resolution Esri World Imagery data in a Geographic Information System (GIS). The map, which is presented at a scale of 1: 675,000, will form the basis of a palaeo-glaciological reconstruction of northwest Russia that will inform on ice sheet dynamics – at both a regional- and ice sheet-scale – and provide an important framework through which numerical ice sheet models can be constrained.

Title: Map of tectonic shortening structures in Chryse Planitia and Arabia Terra, Mars
Abstract:
We present a 1:4,000,000 scale map of tectonic landforms in Chryse Planitia and Arabia Terra, on either side of Mars’ dichotomy. Our study area is a ∼3 million km2 region, transitional between Mars’ highlands and lowlands including Oxia Planum, the landing site of the ExoMars rover. Using a structural mapping approach, we digitised all kilometre-scale tectonic structures at a scale of 1:50,000 using high-resolution data (∼6 m/pixel). Although this region is represented as sparsely tectonised on global tectonic maps, we find evidence of widespread tectonic shortening structures across the region. The shortening structures have a dominant N-S orientation and occur in all globally identified geological units. The structural map contributes to a broader understanding of the geological history of the region and Mars’ wider tectonic history.

Title: Geology of El Hierro Southern Rift, Canary Islands, Spain
Abstract:
The geological survey has been carried out in El Hierro with the aim to produce a new Geological Map at 1:12,500 scale for the Southern Rift. Almost 70 km2 have been mapped providing a detailed stratigraphic and volcano-tectonic reconstruction of its evolution. Our work focused on the last Rift Volcanism phase, where hundreds of cinder cones, associated with thin lava flows, cover most of the island’s surface. Lava flows fields (40), monogenetic volcanic edifices (>90), and volcano–tectonic structures (69), such as dykes, eruptive fissures, and faults have been surveyed and stored in the Geological Map. The map poses fundamental constraints on the Southern Rift geological evolution, mainly concerning its recent activity and allowing the definition of 4 main stages during the last 40 ka. Moreover, this 1:12,500 scale detailed map represents a primary tool for the volcanic hazard assessment of the Island, volcanic monitoring, urban planning, and further stratigraphic data-based investigations.

Title: Geologic map of the Terra Cimmeria-Nepenthes Mensae transitional zone, Mars – 1:1.45Million
Abstract:
A 1:1.45Million geologic map of NW Terra Cimmeria and SE Nepenthes Mensae (-5°31’–5°38’ N, 119°20’–129°55’ E) is presented here, displaying one of the highland-lowland transitional zones of Mars with greatest contrast and diversity. The Terra Cimmeria-Nepenthes Mensae Transitional Zone comprises two complex and poorly studied geologic domains bounded by the dichotomy escarpment. The map produced in this work displays nineteen geologic units and numerous geomorphic features. Detailed mapping, morphologic and morphometric analyses and Poisson model-derived ages have permitted to constrain the stratigraphy of this transitional zone and reconstruct more accurately its geological history from the Early Noachian to recent times, suggesting a significant period of fluvial activity within the Early Amazonian. The map provides insight into the processes involved in the origin and development of this transitional zone and offers a reference geologic framework for future studies in the region.

Title: Landslide susceptibility assessment on a large scale in the Podsljeme area, City of Zagreb (Croatia)
Abstract:
The study presents a landslide susceptibility assessment on a large scale in the City of Zagreb (Croatia). The susceptibility analysis was performed using the Weight of Evidence model in the pilot area (21 km2) and applying the obtained weight values for each class of conditioning factors in the study area (130 km2). The input data were LiDAR-based landslide inventory and six conditioning factors derived from 5 m LiDAR DTM, 5 m SfM DEM, and geological and land-use maps. The validation of the susceptibility assessment for the study area was evaluated with a ROC curve, which showed a high prediction rate (AUC = 84.4%), similar to the prediction rate for the pilot area (AUC = 86.9%). Based on the results, it can be concluded that the proposed method for large-scale landslide susceptibility assessment, where susceptibility conditions are defined in smaller pilot areas, can be applied to larger research areas with similar geomorphological and geological conditions.

Title: Geology and geodiversity of the Folafótur peninsula (Westfjords, Iceland)
Abstract:
Geological and geomorphological field surveys and mapping have been carried out in the Folafótur peninsula (Westfjords, Iceland), a remote territory characterized by spectacular landscapes resulting from the interaction of volcanic, tectonic, and glacial processes. The Geological and Geomorphological Map of the Folafótur Peninsula (1:10,000 scale) is the first detailed map showing the relationships between geology and landscapes in the Westfjords of Iceland. The map also highlights the main geodiversity and cultural sites, which together make up the overall value of the geoheritage of the study area, illustrating Earth’s geodynamics and geomorphological processes related to climate changes and their connections with human history. Our research contributes to the understanding of the geodiversity of the Folafótur peninsula, providing for the first time a description of geological and geomorphological characteristics of this area, crucial for the assessment of its geoheritage.

Title: Combining multi-typologies landslide susceptibility maps: a case study for the Visso area (central Italy)
Abstract:
The research proposes a simple but geomorphologically adequate method to produce a combined landslide susceptibility map. In fact, in a logic of real use, offering type-specific landslide susceptibility maps to land use planners and administration could be not a successful solution. On the other hand, the simple grouping of more types of landslides could be misleading for model calibration considering that the relationships between slope failures and geo-environmental predictors should be conveyed by the abundance of each type of landslide resulting not specific and diagnostic for each typology. In this test, after having produced independent models for flow, slide and complex landslide by exploiting MARS (Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines) and a set of type-specific geo-environmental variables, a combined landslide susceptibility map was obtained by combining the scores of the three source maps. The combined map was finally validated with a new unknown archive, showing very good performances.

Title: Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope Deformations in Molise region (Italy): novel inventory and main geomorphological features
Abstract:
This paper focuses on Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope Deformations (DSGSDs) identified in the Molise region (Italy), along the central-southern sector of the Apennines chain. These phenomena were detected and mapped through a combination of aerial-photo interpretation, morphological analyses, and field surveys, integrated through satellite SAR interferometry (InSAR). The obtained general map is organized in different sections: inventory map with identification of DSGSDs and main geological and orographic features, geostructural scheme, representative cross sections, list and characteristics of DSGSDs, geomorphometric maps, landslides map, and seismotectonic setting. This study allowed us to realize a complete inventory of DSGSDs in the Molise region and define the main characteristics of each phenomenon. Through this research, it was possible to establish a general correlation between the analyzed deformations and the geological and geomorphological setting of the region as well as with its geodynamic context.

Title: Mapping of functional areas in Spain based on mobile phone data during different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract:
Mobility functional areas are tools based on human mobility that can be useful for spatial and transport planning in delicate situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In this work, we aim to map functional areas in Spain from four days corresponding to different phases of the disease. For that goal, mobile phone data provided by Spanish Statistical National Institute (INE) has been used due to its value and potential to provide constantly updated information of mobility at almost-real time. The methodology consists of a network analysis over an origin-destination matrix to obtain modularity values for 3214 population cells provided by the INE. These values were then used to cluster the cells into functional areas. The results show how different confinement and mobility restriction policies influence the amount, size and shape of the functional areas, and therefore, they affect access to services or jobs.

Title: Regional scale surface of the top of the Variscan basement in the central sector of Italy
Abstract:
In this study, we combined regional geology and geostatistical analytical processing to model the top surface of the Variscan basement in Italy. This surface, which is overlain by the pre-Alpine sedimentary cycle (Upper Carboniferous – Permian) followed by the Alpine Mesozoic and Tertiary cycles, covers a significant portion of the Italian peninsula and the Adriatic Sea.We integrated crustal seismic profiles, deep well litho-stratigraphic information and small-scale geological maps of Italy. A regional scale map of the depth of the investigated surface was thus produced using geostatistical processing.The level of reliability of our map varies depending on the distribution of subsurface data from wells and seismic profiles. However, this method is easily replicable, providing quick updates when new data become available. The map can help to identify areas with high potential for natural deep georesources and guide the exploration.

Title: Potential priority areas for forest-dwelling species in Spain based on the degree of forest fragmentation
Abstract:
Habitat fragmentation is a process that may impair the “habitat provision” ecosystem service provided by forests. Thus, it is relevant to quantify the degree of forest fragmentation, since higher levels are expected to have greater effects on forest species. Our goal was to deploy the Forest Area Density (FAD) metric as a tool to derive maps localizing potential priority areas for species requiring large, relatively undisturbed blocks of forest. The Spanish Forest Map (1:50,000) provided comprehensive data on forestland in the country. We defined forest types considering the ten most abundant species in Spain and pure and mixed stands. Then, we calculated FAD by forest type and produced a set of maps showing the results by general management scenario, namely habitat conservation and restoration. To develop forest planning, specific actions can be implemented within these areas in later steps, fostering biodiversity at national or smaller scales.

Title: High-resolution high-accuracy orthophoto map and digital surface model of Forni Glacier tongue (Central Italian Alps) from UAV photogrammetry
Abstract:
This work presents the high-resolution high-accuracy orthophoto map and the Digital Surface Model of Forni Glacier (Italian Alps). These represent the status of the glacier tongue in mid-August 2022 when surveys were carried out with a DJI Phantom 4 RTK drone. The processing was carried out in Leica Infinity, and a 3 cm orthomosaic and a 20 cm Digital Surface Model were generated and made available for analysis of the current status of the glacier, which shows signs of downwasting, with the occurrence of collapsing areas and a rapidly changing proglacial landscape. This work can also be used as a reference to investigate the glacier evolution, also in light of climate change. Accuracy requirements of the deliverables were ensured by combining Post Processed Kinematic and Structure from Motion integrated with bundle block adjustment, and using Ground Control Points and Check Points, to guarantee redundancy and evaluate the geolocation accuracy and precision.

Title: Urban quality of life amidst COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia: do economic and geographical factors influence quality of life?
Abstract:
Urban areas have always been an attraction for the population. As a result, urbanization is constantly happening as more people migrate to cities. This is since urban areas have become a hope for improving the quality of life. This study aims to measure and analyze the Quality of Life (QoL) Index and the influence of economic and geographical factors on the urban QoL during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data used in this study is the Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) in 2020 from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency. The findings show that larger cities tend to have a good QoL index. Meanwhile, remote cities or island regions have a low QoL, as indicated by a low QoL Index. population density, per capita consumption expenditure, and urban economic growth positively influence the urban QoL.

Title: Geology of the Imdr Regio area of Venus
Abstract:
We present a 1:5,000,000 geological map of the Imdr Regio area of Venus. Geological mapping was conducted using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, altimetry and stereo-derived topography data from NASA's Magellan mission. The map covers an area of approximately 7.9 × 106 km2 and exhibits a variety of tectonic structures and units of volcanic origin related to the evolution of Imdr Regio and surrounding plains. We have differentiated primary structures related to the emplacement of the different units from tectonic structures that deform them. These structures are also organized between those that are regional in extent and those that are related to the evolution of local large tectono-volcanic structures. The units in the map area represent different geologic processes (e.g. volcanism) that took place during the evolution of the large topographic rise. Geologic mapping illustrates a complex evolution with different styles of deformation and volcanism in this part of the planet.

Title: Depends on how you count them: the value of general propensity choropleth maps for visualising databases of protest incidents
Abstract:
Public protest represents an important sanction on rulers and institutions. Protest is a quotidian phenomenon in South Africa; perhaps the defining element of post-apartheid political life. Geographic representations of protest abound – typically dot distribution maps – but these merely confirm that more protests occur where there are more people. Visualisations of protest per capita and protestors per capita (or ‘general propensity’), which are best rendered as choropleth maps, are well-placed to overcome this limitation. The South African Police Services' database of protest is the largest publicly-available single-country protest event database. Having used machine learning to classify 89,000 protest events, I locate each within one of the country's 234 municipalities, and depict these events using counts, count per capita, and the general propensity. This reveals a proportionally high number of rural protests, and that municipalities hosting major industries, along with provincial seats of government, present the highest propensity for protest.

Title: Extremely fast Holocene coastal landscape evolution in the Kachchh Upland (NW India): Clues from a multidisciplinary review
Abstract:
The coastal landscape of the Kachchh Upland (KU) region (NW-India) changed over the last few thousand years from a shallow marine gulf to a salty desert (1-4 meters asl). In this area, bordered to the south by the Northern Hill Range (NHR), the tectonic-climatic interaction triggered the sea level fall from +2/4 m circa (6000-2000 BP) to zero. An ancient river pattern deposited a tidally regulated delta area during the sea level fall that stopped 2000-3000 years ago due to tectonic activity and a dry climate.Deltaic-alluvial fans (DAF) in front of the NHR suggest that the KU's tectonic activity led to fast landscape evolution. We explored such drastic changes by integrating scientific information from a multidisciplinary literature review, identifying terraces and DAFs, and inferring faults through landform recognition, quantitative morphometry, and field surveys. Our interpretation, summarized in a map, provides new information on active processes along the NHR.

Title: Maps of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Poreč and Pula (Dioecesis Parentina et Polensis)
Abstract:
The paper describes previous maps of the Diocese of Poreč and Pula and creation of a new map of the Diocese made and published after many changes and long-time research at the Faculty of Geodesy, University of Zagreb. The data collection of the general geographic content and the sacral content was the first step for the new map visualization of the Diocese. It also describes different problems for special map contents and observed shortcomings on the previous maps, and how they are solved. The research objective was the creation of the new map of the Diocese based on the collected and verified data, showing the exact borders of the Diocese and current borders of the deaneries with current seats. On the new map (Main Map) at a scale of 1:120 000, the parish borders with the seats and names of parishes are depicted for the first time.

Title: Mawrth Vallis, Mars, classified using the NOAH-H deep-learning terrain classification system
Abstract:
A deep learning (DL) terrain classification system, the Novelty and Anomaly Hunter – HiRISE (NOAH-H) was used to produce a terrain map of Mawrth Vallis, Mars. With it, we digitised the extent and distribution of transverse aeolian ridges (TARs), a common type of martian aeolian bedform. We present maps of the site, classifying terrain into descriptive classes and interpretive groups. TAR density maps are calculated, and the network output is compared to a manually produced map of TAR density, highlighting the differences in approach and results between these methods. Even when mapping on a small scale, humans must divide the terrain into coherent patches in order to map a large area in a reasonable time frame. Conversely, the speed of DL systems enables mapping on the pixel scale, producing a more detailed product, but one which is also “noisier”, and less immediately informative. There are pros and cons to both approaches.A morphological map of Marth Vallis, Mars, has been created, classifying variations in surface texture into 14 descriptive classes.A deep learning (DL) convolutional neural network was trained to predict these classes in further HiRISE images, which had not been used for training.The resulting classified rasters were orthorectified and mosaicked using ArcGIS.Appropriate classes from the resulting map were compared with manual digitisation of the spatial densities of Transverse Aeolian Ridges (TARs).This comparison highlights the different scales at which human and DL mapping takes place, and that the two datasets have different strengths and weaknesses.The speed at which the network can complete its task allows it to attempt a higher level of fidelity than is possible for a human.Derived maps of the density of boulders and TARs were also produced using both the DL and manual datasets.

Title: The geodiversity of the Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise National Park (Central Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents a novel geodiversity map of the Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise National Park (Central Italy). The Park exhibits a wide range of geological-geomorphological environments of great scientific and touristic interest, offering unique landscapes and wild nature frequented by visitors year-around. All these features reflect a marked geodiversity and a valuable geoheritage, requiring protection and valorization activities. The geodiversity map that we present was realized following an integrated methodological approach, which includes and combines geological-geomorphological features, geoheritage elements, data from Park archives, and new field-based observations. In this framework, the map serves as a key outreach tool for the dissemination of the geological information of the area and for the promotion of its geodiversity through a modern, sustainable, and environmentally aware tourism in an highly frequented protected area.

Title: Geology of Lanzarote's northern region (Canary Island, Spain)
Abstract:
This work presents a detailed volcano-geological map of the Northern region of Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain). This map is a synthesis of gathered and interpreted field data and geological maps. We have integrated information obtained from: (a) detailed geological field surveys, (b) high-resolution digital elevation models (DTMs), (c) aerial orthophotographs, (d) morphometric analysis of eruptive deposits and volcanic structure (i.e. lava tubes), and (e) integrated with data from previous publications (IGME – Instituto Geológico y Minero de España). This map provides a detailed view of the volcanic diversity of the region and an overview of the lava tube system of La Corona, both of which may be used as references for future research work.

Title: The Albeşti Limestone: a geoheritage and cultural heritage in Romania
Abstract:
The paper explores and documents the Eocene limestones from the Albeşti village (Argeş County, Romania) in terms of the relationship between geology, geoheritage and cultural heritage. Known as the Albeşti Limestone/Stone, this rock, extracted from small quarries, has been used for centuries in the construction of an impressive number of public buildings, monuments, houses, etc. Nowadays, many of them are on the List of the Historical Monuments of Romania; one is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site (Horezu Monastery, Vâlcea County). The findings of this research are synthesized and presented in several maps resulted from integration of published and unpublished data with our field survey. The study emphasis the Albeşti Limestone both as an important geoheritage (the Albeşti Nummulitic Limestone Nature Reserve, established in 1954) and a significant heritage stone of national interest that could have a substantial role in heritage preservation, geoeducation, and geotourism development.

Title: Normalizing the pandemic: exploring the cartographic issues in state government COVID-19 dashboards
Abstract:
Government agencies have utilized Web Geographic Information Systems (GIS) dashboards to collect and disseminate spatial information on COVID-19. However, not all maps on these dashboards adhere to established cartographic principles. This article explores the extent of the cartographic issues by surveying state governments’ official COVID-19 websites in the United States on February 11, 2021. The results indicate that out of the fifty states, thirty-one (62.0%) incorrectly used unnormalized data in choropleth maps, sixteen (32.0%) used normalized data, and three (6.0%) did not employ choropleth maps. Among states using normalized data correctly, we identified other cartographic problems, including inappropriate data class divisions and suboptimal enumeration units. As dashboards serve as authoritative sources for health information, issues in map creation can influence public perception of the health crisis. These findings underscore the need for map standards to ensure the accuracy and reliability of health information in the Web GIS era.

Title: Geological screening for onshore CO2 storage in the Rio Bonito formation, Paraná Basin, Brazil
Abstract:
A growing number of countries have set ambitious climate targets and recognized the potential of CO2 geological storage. Brazil's goal is to neutralize carbon emissions by 2050. The Paraná Basin is one of the most favorable onshore sedimentary basins for geological storage of CO2 in Brazil. This extensive sedimentary basin presents a privileged location in the south and southeast regions, where the largest stationary CO2 emitters are concentrated. Our results showed Rio Bonito Formation siliciclastic deposits present pairs of reservoir-seal rocks with adequate thicknesses and depths for stratigraphic CO2 trapping. The screening allowed us to define a favorability map area, which will be the basis for subsequent detailing and characterization studies on the Rio Bonito Formation rocks and the location of CO2 injection sites, thus contributing to the mitigation of the impacts of this gas in climate change.

Title: Geology of the Zicavo Metamorphic Complex, southern Corsica (France)
Abstract:
In this study, we investigated the Zicavo Metamorphic Complex (southern Corsica), which is part of the innermost Axial Zone of the Corsica-Sardinia Variscan belt. To better evaluate its geological and structural outline, a 1:5000 geological map, coupled with new structural/microstructural and petrographic data, is presented. The complex is formed by three tectonic units, from bottom to top: (i) an Orthogneiss Unit, (ii) a Leptyno-Amphibolite Unit, and (iii) a Micaschist Unit. They are separated by ductile shear zones with a top-to-the-SE sense of shear. They underwent a polyphase deformation and polymetamorphic history, with a shortening stage in the amphibolite facies, responsible for the main structures and shearing, followed by an exhumation phase.

Title: The glacial geomorphology of the Mackenzie Mountains region, Canada
Abstract:
During the Last Glacial Maximum, the Mackenzie Mountains region was glaciated by three distinct ice sources; the Laurentide Ice Sheet, the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, and independent montane glaciers. Rapid ice sheet thinning of the Laurentide-Cordilleran ice saddle in the south of this region contributed to rapid sea level rise events and influenced the style of deglaciation to the north. The current understanding of the glacial history of the broader region has been established through mapping from aerial imagery and early surveys between the early 1970s to the 2010s. The central portions of the Mackenzie Mountains have not yet been mapped. We present a new glacial geomorphological map for the Mackenzie Mountains region covering over 220,000 km2. This updated geomorphological map will form the basis of future work to reconstruct the former maximum ice extents, flow dynamics, and retreat pattern.

Title: Glacial geomorphology of the northwest Laurentide Ice Sheet on the northern Interior Plains and western Canadian Shield, Canada
Abstract:
The majority of the Northwest Territories of mainland Canada was covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum. The increasing coverage of high resolution remotely sensed data provides new opportunities to map the glacial geomorphology and study the glacial history of this remote location. Here we present a comprehensive map of glacial landforms within the northern Interior Plains and adjacent areas of the Canadian Shield, comprising around 6% of the Laurentide Ice Sheet bed. Twelve landform types were mapped from the high resolution ArcticDEM: ice flow parallel lineations, subglacial ribs, crevasse-squeeze ridges, major and minor moraine crests, hummocky terrain complexes and ridges, shear margin moraines, major, minor and lateral and submarginal meltwater channels, esker ridges and complexes, glaciofluvial complexes, perched deltas, raised shorelines and aeolian dunes. Together, these landforms provide a record of the highly dynamic behaviour of the northwest sector of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.

Title: Spatial disparities in air conditioning ownership in Florida, United States
Abstract:
This study emphasizes the critical role of air conditioning (AC) in preventing heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. The challenge of limited geographic coverage and outdated AC availability data hampers effective heat risk mapping and prevention efforts. We identified areas with significant AC needs and examined factors related to AC ownership in Florida, U.S. Local Indicators of Spatial Association results displayed distinct AC ownership disparities, with high-high clusters in coastal and metropolitan areas and AC-deficient clusters inland. Vulnerable urban communities, predominantly inhabited by marginalized groups, had limited to no AC availability. The Spatial Durbin Model results revealed a significant correlation between AC ownership and socioeconomic and urban factors. Notably, a higher proportion of AC-deficient households were in predominantly African-American neighborhoods, underscoring racial disparities in AC ownership. These findings provide valuable insights for targeted interventions to mitigate heat-related risks and adapt to evolving climate conditions in vulnerable neighborhoods.

Title: Geomorphology of the Central Kamchatka Depression, the Kamchatka Peninsula, NE Pacific
Abstract:
The Kamchatka Peninsula lies on the eastern active margin of Eurasia, adjacent to the Kuril-Kamchatka subduction zone. In this study, we provide a geomorphological map of the Central Kamchatka Depression – the largest sedimentary basin in Kamchatka and also in all the island arcs of the North Pacific. The depression extends along Kamchatka at latitudes ∼44–46° N for more than 400 km and is up to 100 km wide. The geomorphological map of the Central Kamchatka Depression is designed at a scale of 1:500,000 and contains ∼3000 mapped objects. Volcanic and tectonic landforms have been collected from published sources and generalised to the map scale. Glacial and fluvial landforms have been mapped using remote sensing data and field geomorphological surveys. Areas of ambiguous interpretation have been outlined. This map is the most detailed geomorphological map published for this region that may guide further geomorphological and paleogeographical investigations.

Title: The influence of soil parameters on the price of agricultural land in Slovakia
Abstract:
The article analyses the relation of market prices in the agricultural land market and selected pedological characteristics of traded lands. During the period of 2009–2018 in 12 districts of Slovakia more than 153,000 plots with different pedo-ecological and geographic conditions have been analysed. Based on soil types, texture composition, steepness, gravel content, and depth, corresponding price levels were derived, and soil price maps were developed. The highest valued soils are of chernozem type (EUR 1.64 m−2), loamy soils (EUR 0.86 m−2), soils on flat land (EUR 1.09 m−2), slightly gravelly soils (EUR 1.02 m−2), and deep soils (EUR 1.10 m−2). The land price is evidently highly correlated with its qualitative parameters. Using GIS technologies, the entire territory of Slovakia has been categorized by this means and a so-called basic map of agricultural soil market prices in Slovakia has been created.

Title: Landscape and bioclimatic regionalization of the coast of Oaxaca (México)
Abstract:
In this paper we propose an integral methodology to spatially represent the landscapes of the coastal region of Oaxaca at a scale of 1: 250,000. For this purpose, we start from the geosystemic and bioclimatic approach, using inputs of relief types, lithology, precipitation and temperature patterns at different spatial scales and extending the analysis with photointerpretation. Once the information was processed, the landscape units were delimited. The map shows a total of 58 units distributed in 6 isobioclimates, which reflects a very significant geoecological heterogeneity. The combination of both approaches represents a novel advantage for landscape mapping, since it allows us to represent detailed information at different scales, making the map of the coast of Oaxaca a useful and efficient input for territorial planning and management at a local scale.

Title: Astronomically determined localities, the core part of Ptolemy's Geography
Abstract:
The paper deals with ancient methods of astronavigation and their potential use in finding geographical locations in Ptolemy’s Geographike Hyphegesis. Further, it describes the systematic errors in these methods and suggests how to correct them. The results include a new map which compares the locations of Ptolemy’s sites after removing the errors with their real locations. Subsequently, significant ancient locations according to Ptolemy’s list of noteworthy cities are identified on the map. In some cases, we presume that they were located on the map using astronavigation. The results of this Study imply that Ptolemy may have adopted a comparatively regular network of points from some older authors which was the basis of his extensive work.

Title: Geomorphological evolution of the western piedmont of Cumbres Calchaquíes (Tucumán Province, NW Argentina)
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to present a detailed geomorphological map of the western piedmont of Cumbres Calchaquíes (Tucumán Province, NW Argentina) bounded by the Amaicha River to the south and the administrative border with Salta Province to the north. It contains information about geomorphological units, their relative ages, and morphogenetic processes. The main map shows the presence of seven aggradation stages separated by incision phases. The first three stages (St1, St2, and St3) were modeled on a thick accumulation located in the upper piedmont from the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene. Intermediate stages (St4 and St5) are alluvial fans and pediments with less thickness and gradient. They cover the Early Pleistocene (St4) and the Late Pleistocene-Middle Holocene (St5). Finally, stages St6 and St7 are from the Upper Holocene.

Title: Flood fatalities in eastern Kentucky and the public health legacy of mountaintop removal coal mining
Abstract:
Heavy rains at night caused severe flooding in eastern Kentucky on 28 July 2022, resulting in 39 deaths. Using publicly available information, we assembled a database of these fatalities, including demographic characteristics and location of death. We perturbed fatality locations and plotted them on a topographical map highlighting mountaintop removal mining with valley fill sites, where mountaintops were excavated to mine thin seams of coal. This map reveals many flood fatalities occurred along rivers or streams near such sites. Previous research suggests that surface mining has contributed to the majority of land cover change in this region, and this has increased storm water runoff. The legacy of coal mining in Central Appalachia could thus present immediate challenges to public health and safety beyond more frequently studied health outcomes associated with occupational and environmental exposures. A review of prior surface mining legislation to assess its effectiveness is warranted.

Title: 3D Modelling of Late Quaternary coastal evolution between Albenga and Loano (Western Liguria, Italy)
Abstract:
Seismic lines and sediment cores collected along the shelf between Albenga and Loano (Liguria, NW Italy) allowed an unprecedented reconstruction of the characters and distribution of late Quaternary transgressive littoral deposits. Multiple seismic lines datasets and stratigraphic logs were managed within a single, GIS-based software. This approach allowed the merging, analysis, and interpretation of multimethodological datasets, greatly increasing the understanding of the study area. On seismic reflection lines, the identification of high-amplitude acoustic facies (i.e. coarse-grained deposits), coupled with the analyses of the identified paleo-morphologies, allowed the mapping of (at least) five paleo shorelines along the continental shelf at 30–40 40–60, 60–80, 80–90 and 90–100 m below sea level. Their retrogradiational geometry and terraced distribution likely indicate episodic, stepwise retreats of Late Quaternary coastal system (last 18–11 Ky), compatible with phases of fast sea level rise interspersed by long periods of sea level stillstand.

Title: Evidence for Cenozoic topographic rejuvenation associated with the Laurel Creek Lineament in the Spruce Pine 7.5-minute quadrangle, western North Carolina, USA
Abstract:
Linear fracture systems that strike obliquely to rock units occur across western North Carolina and are associated with Cenozoic topographic rejuvenation of the region. A 2005 earthquake on fractures within one of these systems, the Laurel Creek Lineament, suggests it's an active system. Geologic mapping of the Spruce Pine 7.5-minute quadrangle was conducted to document fault kinematics on this lineament. Near-vertical joints and faults are exposed throughout the quadrangle and dominantly strike toward 080°/260°. Fault offsets were centimeter to meter in magnitude. Fault slip indicators suggest the north block moved up relative to the south block, supported by stream knickpoints that indicate disequilibrium on the northern block. Previous studies on the Boone Lineament, north of Spruce Pine, showed that fracture system moved with the south side up. These data indicate the block of crust between the Boone Lineament and the Laurel Creek Lineament has been uplifted by these fracture systems.

Title: A user-centered mapping design for geomorphological hazard thematic map
Abstract:
Numerous studies have concentrated on developing user-centered designs for hazard zone maps but rarely for hazard-oriented geomorphological maps, named as Geomorphological Hazard Thematic Maps (GHTMs) in this study, which provide more detailed information about natural hazards. This study developed a user-centered mapping design for GHTMs for nonexperts in geomorphology. We invited civil engineers and high school educators to evaluate a sample GHTM’s design in group and focus group panel interviews. The civil engineers preferred maps with more geomorphological features, whereas the educators preferred simple designs. Both groups indicated that the inclusion of essential facilities and road networks is essential. The map was also adjusted by adding hillshade layer and by changing the symbology for mass wasting, fault scarps, and fluvial features to increase clarity and simplicity. This case study is the first step toward developing user-centered mapping designs for hazard communication that will deepen their understanding of natural hazards.This study developed and explored a user-centered design for a geomorphological hazard thematic map.Civil engineers and educators were invited to provide feedback.The engineers preferred detailed designs, and the educators preferred simplified designs.Both groups considered essential facilities and roads useful reference points.This study offers a geomorphological mapping design for nonexperts in geomorphology.

Title: Structure of a Variscan migmatite-granite transition zone (N Sardinia, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents the structural map of the Barrabisa Complex, an E-W ribbon-like migmatitic massif exposed in the northern part of Sardinia. The migmatites consist of metatexites and diatexites with variable melt proportion, grading in the central part of the complex to a foliated peraluminous granodiorite. Xenotime/monazite dating indicates that the foliated granodiorite pluton emplaced in upper Carboniferous times (≈307–313 Ma) within a narrow E-W ductile top-to-the east shear zone cutting through a Variscan high-grade metamorphic basement composed of orthogneisses, metasedimentary-derived migmatites and subordinate amphibolites. Field geological mapping, coupled with structural and micro-structural analysis, allowed us to distinguish the granodioritic pluton and three metamorphic units characterized by variable melt to protholith ratio, that represent a continuous transition from metatexite to diatexite with high melt concentration, to foliated granodiorite.

Title: Salt sheet extrusion and emplacement within the South-Central Pyrenean fold-and-thrust belt: the Les Avellanes Diapir case-of-study
Abstract:
A detailed geological map of the Les Avellanes salt Diapir (South-Central Pyrenees, Spain) that includes both the diapir body and adjacent areas is presented to understand the diapir evolution and geometry. Structural, stratigraphical, and sedimentary data north and south of the diapir is used to infer the timing of its emplacement. The northern diapir boundary is characterized by a set of extensional faults oblique to the main Pyrenean trend, while the southern boundary is an extrusive salt sheet that overlays the late Eocene-early Oligocene sequence in three adjacent sub-basins. Salt extrusion occurred due to synorogenic folding. The topography created as salt extruded trapped the arrival of external sediments from the north, blocking the transport pathways southward. Low sedimentation rates southwards allowed for the lateral salt extrusion, advancing southwards from the feeder. The salt sheet emplacement was postdated by Oligocene conglomerates, indicating that the salt extrusion was a relatively quick event.

Title: Landslide inventory of Puerto Plata, Santiago de los Caballeros and Jarabacoa (Dominican Republic)
Abstract:
Landslide inventory maps are the first and main information level in studies of reactivation of previous landslides and susceptibility, hazard and risk maps of future landslides. Due to its geographical location and tectonic setting, the Dominican Republic is exposed to several geological risks, among which landslides stand out. In this study, we present a landslide inventory elaborated in three selected zones with particular geographical, lithological, tectonic and climatic characteristics: Puerto Plata, Santiago de los Caballeros and Jarabacoa. A total of 6085 landslides have been recorded (56% in S, 29% in P and 15% in J), which have been classified according to their geometry, propagation mechanism, affected material, thickness and activity. The detected factors that control the distribution and type of gravitational deposits are lithology and geologic structure, as well as rainfall and active faulting along the Camú, Septentrional and Bonao-La Guácara fault zones.

Title: Geomorphology of the upper sector of the Roncovetro active landslide (Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy)
Abstract:
We present the geomorphological map of the upper sector of the Roncovetro active landslide (Enza Valley, Emilia-Romagna, Italy). The 1:1500 scale map provides an accurate picture of the landslide in October 2014. The map is mainly based on the data collected during an airborne LiDAR survey. The capability of LiDAR to ‘penetrate’ the vegetation cover makes these data the most complete and accurate topographic dataset of this landslide. The map shows that the upper sector of the Roncovetro landslide consists of gravity- and water runoff-related forms. Gravitational features are linked to sliding and flowing movements that characterize the short- and long-term behaviour of the landslide. By comparing the 2014 LiDAR-Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with the 1973 DEM provided by the Emilia-Romagna Region, we calculated that 6.2 ± 0.8 × 105 m3 of material has moved from the top of the Roncovetro landslide in about 40 years.

Title: Unveiling the pandemic's impact on visits to Madrid’s parks: insights from mobile phone data analysis
Abstract:
Changes in human mobility due to the COVID-19 pandemic have particularly impacted urban parks, altering their use patterns. The use of Big Data sources enables the quantification and tracking of changes, although few studies delve into their spatial representation and the socio-demographic characterisation of park users. In this research, we use anonymised cellular network-based data with associated user profile information to quantify and map the changes operated in trips to Madrid’s urban parks in a week of reference before and after the pandemic. Our results show a general decrease in trips to urban parks, especially by males in all age ranges. We also observe a marked decrease in trips by the high-income population. Finally, we have nicely presented some of these results in a composition of several maps that provide visual insight into the main changes.

Title: Geological Map of South America in Google Earth
Abstract:
Digital maps prepared by using geographic information systems are more diverse and common each day. Nevertheless, the lack of accessible files such as maps created in widely used but complex/expensive software is responsible for a limited number of users. With time, geographic visors have helped to overcome this ‘inaccessibility’ through more user-friendly platforms such as a free multi-temporal remote sensing data such as the Google Earth Engine. The updated GMSA was overlapped on this geospatial platform. As more people visualize maps, recent discoveries can be communicated with greater efficiency. Within the framework of the Vice-presidency for the GMSA and the Commission for the Geological Map of the World, the GMSA was launched in 2019 and, since 2021, has been available on Google Earth. This paper summarizes how the GMSA in Google Earth was implemented. It is expected this publication helps other map producers to create similar products.

Title: Landslides and predisposing factors of the Southern Apennines, Italy
Abstract:
The Fiumarella di Corleto drainage basin is an emblematic sector of the southern Apennine thrust belt in the Basilicata region (Southern Italy), which is strongly affected by landslides. Landslides both affect the urban area and the facilities related to hydrocarbon exploitation, such as the pipelines and oil wells connected with the oil centre located just outside the eastern border of the study area. Based on a detailed field survey, supported by stereoscopic analysis, a landslide inventory map has been realized, which also reports the associated processes and landforms. The relationships between the different types of landslides and the various predisposing factors like outcropping lithologies, slopes steepness, slope exposition and land use have been also investigated. The acquired data relate to a geologically complex area of the southern Apennines subject to recent uplift and represent a fundamental contribution useful for the correct management of the territory.

Title: Geology of the Neruda quadrangle (H13), Mercury
Abstract:
We present the first geological map of the Neruda Quadrangle (H13), Mercury. H13 is in Mercury’s southern hemisphere between latitudes 22.5°S–65°S, and longitudes 90°E–180° covering a total area of just under 5 million km², equivalent to 6.5% of the planet’s surface. Map digitisation was carried out at scales between 1:300,000 and 1:700,000 for final presentation at 1:3,000,0000, from end-of-mission data products from NASA’s MESSENGER mission. We distinguish three main photogeologic plains units: intercrater, intermediate, and smooth plains. We also distinguish all craters and their materials ≥ 20 km in diameter based on their degradation state. We have completed two versions of the map, one using a three-class crater degradation scheme and one using a five-class crater degradation scheme. In addition, specific geological units were charted for the Rembrandt impact basin. This map has been constructed to provide context and targets for the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury.

Title: Geology of the Derain quadrangle (H10), Mercury
Abstract:
We present the results of geological mapping of Mercury’s Derain (H10) quadrangle (0°-72°E and 22.5°N-22.5°S) using data from the MESSENGER spacecraft. The map is presented on a scale of 1:3,000,000, for which linework was drawn at 1:300,000. We distinguish three major morphological plains units: Smooth, Intermediate, and Intercrater Plains. We produced two versions of the map, with craters classified according to a 3- and 5-class degradation system. This allows compatibility with other MESSENGER-era maps and Mariner 10-era maps. This map will help provide science context for the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury.

Title: Geology of the cretaceous Paraná Magmatic Province at the central portion of Torres Syncline, Southern Brazil
Abstract:
Geological maps of tropical areas demand special challenges due to weathering conditions, mainly where relief has low variability. Most part of Paraná Magmatic Province is included in this scenario. An exception to this situation is the southeastern portion of the province, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The stratigraphic disposition of volcanic units and the characteristics of erosion of each one caused the exposition of four identified plateaus, in which outcrop, from bottom to top: (1) basalts from Torres/Vale do Sol formations; (2) Caxias do Sul dacite; (3) Barros Cassal sequence; (4) Santa Maria rhyolite. The contacts were traced using SRTM images (through altitude and slope maps), integrating previously published semi- to detailed maps and geochemical database from our group. The resulting map (1:250,000) contributes to the volcano-stratigraphic knowledge of this huge province, and allows us to suggest the review of silicic units, initially called Palmas Formation.

Title: Critical areas for sediment delivery to the Chubut River, Patagonia Argentina: geomorphological evidence from the Sagmata pilot basin
Abstract:
Sediment discharge events in the lower basin of the Chubut River (Patagonia, Argentina) associated with rainfall events generate serious problems for drinking water purification of more than 250,000 inhabitants and the support of livestock farming activity of about 42,000 ha in the region. Identifying the areas of potential sediment contribution to the Chubut River and the conditions necessary for erosion and sediment transfer is of vital importance to mitigate the negative impact of sediment discharge into the river and to establish water management plans.We conducted a detailed geomorphological study in a 110 km2 tributary watershed of the Chubut River (Sagmata pilot Basin), and identify potential sediment production zones. We based our analyzes on concomitant studies that indicate that the sediment remobilization is linked to the location of the drainage networks, especially in regions associated with badlands and erosional scarps formed on Paleogene continental deposits.A detailed geomorphological map in a 110 km2 pilot watershed was constructed, with a particular emphasis in identifying sediment production zones.Fine sediment contribution to the Chubut river is linked to badlands/erosion scarps units constituted by Paleogene deposits.Identifying areas of fine sediment supply is of vital importance to mitigate the negative impact of sediment discharge into the Chubut river and to establish water management plans.

Title: Sediments and bedforms of the Harle tidal inlet (Wadden Sea, Germany)
Abstract:
The paper presents a map of sediment surface distribution and bedforms in the Harle tidal inlet, German Wadden Sea. Data collection, processing, and map editing were realized within the sublittoral mapping program of Lower Saxony national waters carried out by the NLWKN – Coastal Research Station. The map is the result of the combined use of multibeam echosounder, sub-bottom profiler, and ground-truth data. The sediment characterization is achieved by an unsupervised approach using an Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) on a normalized backscatter mosaic, verified by nineteen sediment samples. Morphometrical parameters and sub-bottom data provided important information to identify hard substrates and bedforms.

Title: Geomorphological analysis of San Nicola Island (Tremiti Islands, Southern Adriatic Sea). Results from the 2021 and 2022 Environmental Geomorphology field camps of the MSc in Geological Sciences and Technologies of Earth and Planets (University ‘G. d’Annunzio’ of Chieti-Pescara)
Abstract:
This paper presents the results of the 2021 and 2022 field activities carried out at San Nicola Island (Tremiti Islands, Southern Adriatic Sea) by two groups of students as part of the Environmental Geomorphology Field Mapping course held within the Master's Degree in Geological Sciences and Technologies of Earth and Planets at University ‘G. d'Annunzio’ of Chieti-Pescara. Field activities were carried out following an integrated approach that involved morphometric, geological, and geomorphological analyses, supported by the combination of traditional methods with modern survey instruments and techniques. The Main Map (1:2,500 scale) comprehensively depicts the landscape of San Nicola Island, which is affected by both long- and short-term evolutionary processes, as witnessed by widespread slope landforms. The cartographic products presented in this work can represent a useful tool in territorial planning and management, as well as a valuable base for further scientific studies.

Title: Geoarchaeology of the Cornia river coastal plain (Piombino, southern Tuscany, Italy)
Abstract:
This paper presents a 1:20,000 scale Geoarchaeological map of the Cornia river coastal plain in southern Tuscany. The Geoarchaeological map integrates a comprehensive dataset of geomorphological and archaeological features. The spatial relationships between landforms and archaeological records show that the settlement pattern from the VII century BC to the V century AD was mostly influenced by the presence of several depositional landforms which formed before the period under consideration. Integrating the outputs of geomorphological and topographical analyses with archaeological databases is also helpful for land planning, especially in areas where present-day anthropic exploitation needs predictive and valid tools to assess the archaeological hazard.

Title: Mining tailings dumps and socio-territorial inequalities in Chile: an exploratory study
Abstract:
The aim of this study is to territorially link the distribution of mining tailings and multi-dimensional poverty at a local level. For this purpose, a database was constructed with governmental information regarding municipalities that present tailings, and subsequently, identified their levels of multidimensional poverty. The results show: (i) the presence of tailings throughout the national territory, although their greater concentration is found in the country's center-north; (ii) that the majority of tailings at the national level is located in socially and economically disadvantaged municipalities; and (iii) that only 4 municipalities concentrate 321 of the 757 tailings, which represent 42,4% of the national total. This information allows us to conclude that the task of surveying and remediating mining tailings is a national governance challenge and that in order to address it, the context and the social injustice it causes must be considered.

Title: Hydrological features of Matese Karst Massif, focused on endorheic areas, dolines and hydroelectric exploitation
Abstract:
This study presents an original mapping of hydrological karst features of the Matese massif (southern Italy), whose relevance is given by large basal springs supplying millions of people and the hydroelectric exploitation of the major endorheic areas. We mapped dolines and endorheic areas from 1- and 5-meter Digital Elevation Models (DEM) using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools and techniques. Instead, ponors, caves, and karst springs were mapped mainly based on cartographic and literature analyses. We identified 321 endorheic areas occupying 31% of the massif area and 489 dolines, distinguished in (i) solution (N = 433) and collapse dolines (N = 56), the latter located in the discharge zones of the massif and connected to ascendant flows of CO2- and H2S-rich groundwater. The map shows the hydrological features of a karst massif from a more detailed and new perspective, and it can be helpful in water management, groundwater resource protection, environmental safeguarding, and ecological development.

Title: Geomorphology of the Courel Mountains Unesco Global Geopark (Galicia, NW Iberian Peninsula)
Abstract:
The Courel Mountains Geopark is in Galicia, Northwest Spain. Its total area is 578.29 km2. Parallel valleys and ridges characterize its relief from North to South. Their maximum altitude reaches 1,641 m. Their lithology is dominated by slates, quartzites, and limestones, together with small diabase outcrops. Materials are intensely fractured due to the tectonic dynamics that started during the Cenozoic, and sedimentary formations accumulated in response to environmental changes during the Pleistocene are abundant. As a result, a wide variety of structural landforms are present, along with a wide range of landforms and deposits of alluvial, fluvial, glacial, and periglacial origin. All of them have been mapped to enable sustainable use and management aimed at improving the livelihood of the inhabitants of the geopark area, which has suffered depopulation in recent decades.Courel Mountains Unesco Global Geopark stands out for its geological and geomorphological diversity.This sector shows evidence of different structural geoforms (alluvial, fluvial, glacier, and periglacial origin).Geomorphological cartography graphically draws the most outstanding deposits and geoforms.

Title: The Alpine settlement system: capturing relevance beyond size
Abstract:
The Alpine settlement system is of key relevance for sustainable development in the mountain region. However, maps on the European scale indicate almost no cities in the Alps but only a few small towns. We argue that a differentiated mapping approach should involve medium and small settlements in mountain regions, as they have a high functional importance for the surrounding area. We present an analytical mapping of the Alpine settlement system based on demographic and accessibility arguments and reflect on two research questions: How to put Alpine towns on the map of spatial development without taking a metropolitan bias? To what extent does this approach help to overcome the ‘size problem’ of the Alpine settlement system? Our ‘new’ map covers the rural area and ‘sees’ small towns, shows the relevance of efficient spatial organisation along valley axes and illustrates the cross-border dimension of towns in spatial proximity to national borders.

Title: Increasing geohydrological instability in a valley of the Italian Central Alps: a study in the Anthropocene
Abstract:
Riverbed deepening, waterway shortening, and forced narrowing are among the most relevant consequences of the anthropic disturbance of alpine rivers over the last few centuries. A map was generated through a detailed study of the Adda Valley, a famous valley in the Central Alps, northern Italy. This study was conducted to evaluate the anthropization status, geomorphological patterns (in terms of altimetric and planimetric riverbed variation), evolutionary trends, and flood hazards of the river over the last 150 years. The map presents the expansion of urban and industrial areas that occurred before and after one of the most devastating floods in Adda Valley. Supporting both the identification of potentially vulnerable areas and the possible effects of damaging floods, the map provides information for improved evaluation of the vulnerability of bottom valley areas after anthropogenic modification and for identifying the damaging effects of past flood events, which could recur.

Title: Glacial geomorphology in the Wicklow Mountains, Ireland
Abstract:
We present a detailed 1:50,000-scale glacial geomorphological map covering ∼450 km2 of the Wicklow Mountains, eastern Ireland. The region was glaciated at the Last Glacial Maximum, but little is known about the timing and pattern of deglaciation during the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition or the extent of glacier regrowth during the Younger Dryas. The absence of detailed glacial geomorphological mapping has been a barrier to understanding these outstanding questions before now. Mapping of the area was compiled during field campaigns supported by the assessment of remotely-sensed imagery. Ice-marginal moraines are the most prevalent landform mapped and these have been classified into three groups based on differences in morphology. Other evidence for glaciation includes glacially-transported boulders, ice-moulded bedrock, meltwater channels, terraces, talus and summit blockfields. The map forms an essential basis for future work that will investigate glacial landsystems, deglaciation patterns and timing, and the style and extent of Younger Dryas glaciation.

Title: Distribution of landforms and buried sedimentary deposits during the growth of the Aceh River delta (Sumatra, Indonesia)
Abstract:
Fluvial and coastal landforms are indicative of landscape river delta evolution over time and provide clues for understanding coastal adjustments to sea-level and fluvial dynamics fluctuations, tectonic displacements, and extreme waves. We have mapped the surface and sub-surface footprints of fluvial and coastal geomorphological features in the Aceh River delta, northern Sumatra, using imagery dataset, vertical facies logging and helicopter electromagnetic surveys. The result is a geomorphological map at the scale of 1:75.000 which outlines the main features of the deltaic plain, including rivers, tidal and buried channels, fluvial levees, beach ridges, swales, tidal flats and lagoons. We compare their spatial distribution to the geometry of buried sediment bodies, revealed by boreholes and resistivity maps. Buried channel belts and floodplain deposits document the former locations of the distributary channels of the Aceh River. Coastal-parallel beach ridges evidence 7–8 km of asymmetric delta progradation since the mid-Holocene sea-level high stand.

Title: Flowmapper.org: a web-based framework for designing origin–destination flow maps
Abstract:
FlowMapper.org is a web-based framework for automated production and design of origin-destination flow maps. FlowMapper has four major features that contribute to the advancement of existing flow mapping systems. First, users can upload and process their own data to design and share customized flow maps. The ability to save data, cartographic design and map elements in a project file allows users to easily share their data and/or cartographic design with others. Second, users can generate customized flow symbols to support different flow map reading tasks such as comparing flow magnitudes and directions and identifying flow and location clusters that are strongly connected with each other. Third, FlowMapper supports supplementary layers such as node symbols, choropleth, and base maps to contextualize flow patterns with location references and characteristics. Finally, the web-based architecture of FlowMapper supports server-side computational capabilities to process and normalize large flow data and reveal natural patterns of flows.

Title: Reconstructing the historical shoreline evolution of the Northern Bay of Cádiz (SW Spain) from geomorphological and geoarchaeological data
Abstract:
During the last 3 ka, different human communities occupied the Bay of Cádiz (SW Spain), including Phoenician, Carthaginian, Roman, Medieval and Modern settlements. Traces of such historical occupations have been recognized along the bay from a geoarchaeological point of view. Some of them bear a palaeogeographical interest related to the historical location of the shoreline. At the same time, Holocene sedimentary units and geomorphological elements identified along the bay can be interpreted as evidences of its morphological evolution. The objective of the present paper is to represent all the available data about archaeological sites and geomorphology in the northern Bay of Cádiz, with the aim of combining both sources of data for elaborating a simple proposal of landscape evolution during the last 3 millennia. The base for mapping was multiple, from historical aerial photographs to satellite imagery and a digital terrain model with a maximum resolution of 0.35 m. .

Title: Coastal inundation scenarios in the north-eastern sector of the Island of Gozo (Malta, Mediterranean Sea) as a response to sea level rise
Abstract:
According to the most recent scenarios, sea level is expected to keep rising during the next decades because of global warming. In this context, coastal areas are highly vulnerable to marine and climate-related processes, such as erosion and inundation. Such processes are expected to cause shoreline retreat and local morphological variations with consequent loss in natural ecosystems, exploitable coastal land, and significant socio-economic impacts. This paper aims at outlining future scenarios of potential coastal inundation along the NE coastal sector of the Island of Gozo (Malta). The study assessed expected coastline positions for the investigated coastal stretch by analysing high-resolution topographic data coupled with sea level projections for the years 2050 and 2100, accounting also for the contribution of storm surges. Results are expected to sensitize local authorities and communities about potential threats derived from sea level rise that could affect coastal areas in the near future.

Title: Creating a digital historical map of the German-inhabited areas in southern Transylvania (central Romania) in 1848
Abstract:
The paper describes the creation of a historical reference map of the mid-southern region of Transylvania (nowadays in central Romania) in 1848. This area was shaped by the presence of the Transylvanian Saxons, the ethnic German descendants of the settlers invited here by the kings of Hungary during the High Middle Ages. Transylvania became part of the Habsburg Empire at the end of the seventeenth century and was elevated to the status of a Grand Principality in 1765. The map is primarily based on historical cartographic documents and written publications, but also integrates digital geo-spatial datasets. It was produced at a scale of 1:400 000 and includes the hydrography, the administrative boundaries, the main roads, the postal stations and all the settlements attested in the Transylvanian Saxon administrative subdivisions before the mid-nineteenth century.

Title: Abandoned underground mines in Nízký Jeseník Upland (Czechia)
Abstract:
This paper summarises the results of an inventory of abandoned underground mines within the Nízký Jeseník Upland (Czechia, Central Europe). The area has a long and complex history of mining. During the period between the 11th and 13th centuries, the upland was the centre of ore mining, and later, during the 18th and 19th centuries, it transitioned into slate mining for roofing. From 2016 through 2018, we collected detailed data from 137 mines to better understand their parameters and functioning within the contemporary landscape. The data were mainly focused on the geomorphic character of underground mines, as the existing inventories focus on various other aspects. The results were processed into an interactive web map using ArcGIS Online's online mapping software. Relations between parameters were assessed using three methods: the χ2 test for a contingency table, ANOVA and linear regression.

Title: Mapping the ‘Magic of Huesca’: a methodological proposal for the design of tourist cartography
Abstract:
Maps published for tourism promotion and information constitute a particular sub-group of tourist maps made using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This paper proposes a methodological protocol for the systematic elaboration of tourism mapping. This procedure is applied to the design of the tourist map of the province of Huesca. The cartographic tool was designed based on the needs of tourism promotion by the Public Administration, seeking the halfway point between persuasion and precision when representing elements on the map. Given that data would have to be updated and modified in the future, open-source software was used so that the administration can then run, modify and update it. In addition, the project was validated through surveys to two different audiences (general and expert).

Title: Prioritization of spatial protection of Šumava National Park, Czechia: comparing reality and the model
Abstract:
Natural processes and biodiversity are under pressure, especially in the human-dominated region of Central Europe. Therefore, an effective approach is needed for the conservation of the last fragments of valuable habitats. Šumava National Park is one of the biggest relatively natural forested areas within the cultural landscapes of Czechia and Central Europe. It has been protected since 1991 as a National Park, but management has been changed several times; thus, we would like to create a map with nature protection prioritization based on objective procedures and data to help manage the National Park with regard to its goals. We used occurrence data for 50 selected key fauna and flora species and made habitat suitability models; furthermore, data derived from the habitat mapping layer describing the quality of habitats were prepared. These data were inputs for prioritization ZONATION software resulting in a prioritization map, which could be compared with the current zonation of the National Park.

Title: Glacial geomorphology between the Gran Campo Nevado and Estrecho de Magallanes, Chile (52–53°S, 73°W)
Abstract:
We present the first extensive high-resolution glacial geomorphic map west of the Andean Cordillera in southernmost Chile (52.8–53.1°S, 73.0–73.9°W). The map extends over 1565 km2 and is based on high-resolution satellite images and aerial photographs. At selected locations, the remotely mapped geomorphology was corroborated by field observations. The study area is dominated by glacial erosional landforms (77%) over depositional landforms (23%), with published submarine depositional landforms having been included (e.g. moraines). Glacial drift, kettle kame topography and lateral and frontal moraines form the primary depositional landforms and sediment associations. Glacial cirques, wide U-shaped valleys, whalebacks, roches moutonnées and scoured bedrock characterize most of the mapped area. The spatial distribution of whalebacks and roches moutonnées in the study area indicates a lack of lithological control on their formation and a warm-based, dynamic ice velocity and thickness regime during Patagonian Ice Sheet cover and retreat during the last glacial cycle.

Title: A malaria risk model for the Mediterranean in antiquity based on the historical Carta della Malaria dell’Italia
Abstract:
Growing interest in the health burden of malaria in ancient times is complimented by recent DNA confirmation of its presence at several archaeological sites in the Mediterranean. This study presents a model of ancient malaria risk for the region with utility for synthesis and application. The GIS-based model combines malaria risk factors that can be reasonably known for pre-modern times. Calibration, verification, and validation of the model is possible through use of a detailed map of pre-eradication malaria endemicity in Italy, the 1882 Carta della Malaria dell’Italia. The model provides a cross-disciplinary tool by bringing technical GIS capabilities to the evaluation of textual sources having potential malarial connections. The study’s main product is an open access relative malaria risk layer for GIS use and application to historical reconstruction. Example maps using model output and potential use are presented.

Title: Holocene to near-future evolution of the southern Molise coast (Central Adriatic, Italy) under the influence of natural and anthropogenic controls
Abstract:
Coastal areas are dynamic environments that easily change over time. To contribute to a better understanding of natural and anthropogenic factors that may have contributed in the past and/or control present-day and near-future coastline modifications, we have realised a chronologically arranged sequence of three geomorphological and geothematic maps focusing on the southern Molise coast (Adriatic coast, Italy). The first two maps concern the geomorphological and anthropogenic modifications that occurred respectively from the Holocene to the 1950s (Map 1), and from the 1950s to the Present (Map 2). The third map deals with the present-day conditions and near-future scenarios of coastal hazard considering the period from the Present to the year 2050. Results obtained and comparative observations of the three maps highlight the elevated shoreline mobility of the Biferno River alluvial coastal plain sector, and its high susceptibility to further coastal hazard due to erosion and inundation.

Title: Geomorphology of the Cook Islands, tropical South Pacific Ocean
Abstract:
We use the 2021 GEBCO grid to interpret the seabed geomorphology within the Cook Islands and adjacent areas. A complex geological history dating back to 125 Ma is manifested in a range of geoforms. These include abyssal plains, plateaux, volcanic and tectonic rises, seamount-knolls and chains and troughs, as well as fault zones. A Main Map at 1:3,000,000 scale is presented with example cross-sections, with 1:10,000,000 scale inset maps of bathymetry, mineral occurrences (the Cook Islands has a major polymetallic nodule resource), feature names and regional setting. We expect these map products to be of value to stakeholders interested in exploration and mineral resource assessment, marine habitat management, and the general make-up of this small island large ocean country.

Title: Quality of life indices: how robust are the results considering different aggregation techniques?
Abstract:
The quality of life has been an attractive topic for several decades, and it has received attention in the scientific, political and public spheres. However, in a growing number of studies aimed at assessing the quality of life, inconsistencies persist in the definition, theoretical underpinnings and in approaches to assessing the quality of life. This study aims to compare the results of different methods of aggregating quality of life indicators into a synthetic index. The synthesis of individual sub-indices results in a final quality of life index and a typology which describes the variability arising from using different index calculation methods. The individual approaches to the calculations confirm the partial robustness of the results which, at the same time, can be an inspiration for a range of tasks where the parallel use of different methods reveals interesting internal relationships in the analysed data.

Title: Mapping urban land type with multi-source geospatial big data: a case study of Shenzhen, China
Abstract:
Land types visually reflect the comprehensive attributes of land resources, allowing the monitoring of land development dynamics and evaluation of the land use situation. However, existing land type classification systems in urban areas lacked the integrated consideration of human characteristics and natural landscapes. Thus, this study integrated multi-source geospatial data including Weibo check-in, taxi-tracking, building-surveys, and remote sensing images to acquire anthropogenic features including building characteristics and human activities, and natural landscape features including water, vegetation, and urban vacant land. Three-level urban land type classification system was then constructed with two primary categories, six secondary categories, and 17 tertiary categories to reveal integrated characteristics of urban land resources. Based on the extracted urban areas of Shenzhen, urban land types in 2014 were mapped at street block to reveal the distribution and utilization efficiency of land resources in a visual and detailed format, thus guiding land resources optimization.

Title: Morphology of the submerged Ferdinandea Island, the ‘Neverland’ of the Sicily Channel (central Mediterranean Sea)
Abstract:
We present the bathy-morphological map at a scale of 1: 50,000 of the area around the submerged Ferdinandea Island, the ‘Neverland’ of the Sicily Channel (central Mediterranean Sea). We investigate an area of 100 km2, between 10 and 350 m, which is part of a triangular morphological high, 360 km2 wide, representing the SE-wards prolongation of the Adventure Bank. The study is based on the morphometric analysis based on high resolution multibeam, and sub-bottom CHIRP profiles collected in 2015. The area around the remains of Ferdinandea Island is morphologically shaped by the interplay between volcanic, tectonic, fluid seepage, and oceanographic processes. Since the study area is considered a hot spot of biodiversity affected by maritime traffic (especially in Ferdinandea Channel) and hosting communication pipelines, this map provides insights both for habitat mapping purposes and preliminary marine geohazard assessment due to the occurrence of historically active submarine volcanoes, pockmarks, and mass transport deposits.

Title: Quantifying and visualizing the 15-Minute walkable city concept across Europe: a multicriteria approach
Abstract:
The disruptions associated with health and energy crisis have emphasized the need for hyperlocal cities. However, in Europe, a tool to measure the efficiency of land use and accessibility planning for localizing urban mobility is missing. In this paper, we construct a comparable 15-Minute-Walking City (15-MWC) index that assesses the walking performance of 121 European metropolitan areas and seven amenity types. The data are combined equally following the PROMETHEE II multicriteria approach to assign a final score and to present a ranking of 15-Minutes cities. The main visualization demonstrates European-level disparities and indicates that most of leading cities are in Germany, while most of the worst performers are in the UK. We also reveal a statistically significant difference in 15-MWC performance due to their GDP per capita disparities. The empirical results may serve as a referencing tool for cross-city comparisons and may support policymakers when designing transport and city-planning strategies.

Title: Harmonizing multi-source backscatter data using bulk shift approaches to generate regional seabed maps: Bay of Fundy, Canada
Abstract:
Advances in sonar technology have revolutionized our ability to map the seafloor, however, differences between legacy and modern data pose challenges when analysing multi-source datasets. Acoustic backscatter recorded via multibeam echosounder is commonly used to characterize the seafloor, but a lack of standardized calibration often yields relative rather than absolute backscatter measurements, hindering comparison between surveys. ‘Bulk shift’ methods have been developed for harmonizing legacy backscatter datasets using overlapping survey areas for relative statistical calibration. This becomes increasingly difficult, though, given many datasets collected over extensive time periods. Backscatter data were collected in the Bay of Fundy, Canada, using multiple sonar systems and vessels over an 18-year period. Here, we propose a reproduceable strategy for harmonizing this large volume of disparate backscatter data using the bulk shift method. A final, harmonized map is presented for the entire Bay of Fundy and is validated using in situ observations from seafloor imagery.

Title: Influence of COVID-19 on night-time lights in Czechia
Abstract:
Night-Time Light (NTL) satellite imagery is widely recognized and valued as a powerful tool for spatial analysis and research. Despite its global popularity, there is absence of similar studies dealing with NTL intensity in Czechia. Using VIIRS/DNB data, our study focused on analyzing the changes in night-time light intensity before and during the coronavirus restrictions. These restrictions had a substantial impact on social and economic life, particularly during the peak of pandemic, affecting not only Czechia but also other regions worldwide. A mosaic of the study area was prepared, followed by the aggregation of the original raster data to municipalities with extended power (MEPs) and calculation of the average light index (ALI). The resulting typology made it possible to identify regional differences in NTL intensity. The main hypothesis was confirmed, it was observed that the ALIexhibited a decrease of 18% in 2020, whereas in 2021, the decline averaged at 9%.

Title: Deep learning ancient map segmentation to assess historical landscape changes
Abstract:
Ancient geographical maps are our window into the past for understanding the spatial dynamics of last centuries. This paper proposes a novel approach to address this problem using deep learning. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are today the state-of-the-art methods in handling a variety of problems in the fields of image processing. The Cassini map, created in the eighteenth century, is used to illustrate our methodology. This approach enables us to extract the surfaces of classes of lands in the Cassini map: forests, heaths, arboricultural, and hydrological. The evolution of land use between the end of the eighteenth century andtoday was quantified by comparison with Corine Land Cover (CLC) database. For the Rhone watershed, the results show that forests, arboriculture, and heaths are more extensive on the CLC map, in contrast to the hydrological network. These unprecedented results are new findings that reveal the major anthropo-climatic changes.Semantic segmentation allows us to identify several land use patterns from a cartographic support item such as the Cassini map.Semantic segmentation reduces the analysis time of the map by a factor of approximately 10 compared with an entirely manual segmentation, while maintaining an average accuracy equivalent to 90%.Our results illustrate a climatic and anthropic forcing on the Rhône watershed that significantly modified the landscape compared with today.

Title: Onshore hydrocarbon seep detection using the GF-5 hyperspectral image: a case study in the Karamay area, NW China
Abstract:
Satellite remote sensing has been widely utilized for petroleum detection offshore since oil spill is normally widespread. However, the onshore hydrocarbon detection is insufficient because the lower spectral resolution of previous satellites made it difficult to identify small scales of seepages. In this study, a dataset of the High-Resolution 5 satellite (GF-5) of China was chosen to directly detect hydrocarbon seeps in the Karamay area. First, an IDL program was used to remove the vertical tripe noise of the image to ensure the high quality of the image. Second, use principal component analysis (PCA) was combined with the classification and regression trees (CART) method RuleGen to process the image. The detected hydrocarbon information was enhanced by RGB color synthesis. The results show that the methods can detect hydrocarbon effectively. Field verification results show that the accuracy is 86.5%. This study provides an effective method for hydrocarbon detection using GF-5 data.

Title: Glacier area changes in the Arctic and high latitudes using satellite remote sensing
Abstract:
Glaciers have been retreating over the last century as a result of climate change, particularly in the Arctic, causing sea levels to rise, affecting coastal communities and potentially changing global weather and climate patterns. In this study, we mapped 2203 glaciers in Novaya Zemlya (Russian Arctic), Penny Ice Cap (Baffin Island), Disko Island (Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland) and part of Kenai (Alaska), using Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) applied to multispectral Landsat satellite imagery in Google Earth Engine (GEE) to quantify the glacier area changes over three decades. Between 1985–89 and 2019–21, the results show that the overall glacier area loss in Novaya Zemlya is 1319 ± 419 km2 (5.7% of area), 452 ± 227 km2 (6.6%) for Penny Ice Cap, 457 ± 168 km2 (23.6%) in Disko Island and 196 ± 84 km2 (25.7%) in Kenai. A total of seventy-three glaciers have disappeared completely, including sixty-nine on Disko Island, three in Novaya Zemlya and one in Kenai.

Title: Geomorphology and geoheritage in the Piana Crixia Natural Park (NW Italy)
Abstract:
This research presents a set of geomorphological and geoheritage evidence from the Piana Crixia Natural Park, located in the northwest part of Italy. The Natural Park, which covers an area of just under 8 km2, was established for the conservation and enhancement of two geosites: the Piana Crixia mushroom, a 15 m high earth pyramid shaped in conglomerates representing an example of runoff erosion, and badlands landforms that crop out in the area, representing a regional uniqueness and characterize a landscape defined the ‘Langhe of Liguria’. The methodology includes bibliographic research, aerial photographs, fieldwork and analysis of the data provided by the Park's archives. The main maps were realized by combining lithological and geomorphological data with geoheritage elements and information about hiking and tourism. The 1:10,000 map represents the main area of the Piana Crixia Natural Park, while the 1:3000 map was designed to characterize the Piana Crixia mushroom.

Title: Geoparticipation in the Czech municipalities: index based quantitative approach
Abstract:
Participation is becoming not only a theoretical framework of EU and UN documents, but also a practical approach that many municipalities explore in order to build resilient, sustainable and smart cities. The paper presents a weighted Index of Geoparticipation for all municipalities in the Czech Republic (n = 6258). The index is an indicator-based value divided into three dimensions (communication, participation, transparency) that helps to evaluate the state of geoparticipation among Czech municipalities. The size of the municipality (measured by population) and the significance of the municipality are both highly related to the values of the Index of Geoparticipation. Regional capitals, major cities, and big towns that are part of the Healthy Cities Network all have higher values for the Index of Geoparticipation.

Title: The naïve map of the sixteenth century roads in Spain
Abstract:
This paper presents a naïve map that attempts to reflect the vision that Philip II and his advisors probably had of the Spanish road network in the second half of the sixteenth century, a crucial aspect for the choice of the seat of the capital of the kingdom. The elaboration of the naïve map was carried out in two phases: in the first, the road network was reconstructed based on a thorough revision of the primary sources that have survived to the present day. As these sources showed evident problems of completeness, the network was completed using mathematical methods, which were statistically contrasted. The analysis carried out is an important novelty since it shows that most of the transport in the Iberian Peninsula was channeled through the center following a radial structure with six principal axes two centuries before what has been traditionally considered.

Title: Geology of giant quartz veins and their host rocks from the Eastern Pyrenees (Southwest Europe)
Abstract:
Giant Quartz Veins (GQVs) are ubiquitous in different tectonic settings and, besides being often related to hydrothermal ore deposits, also represent large-scale fingerprints of the structural and geochemical history of the rocks in which they are hosted. Here we present detailed geological maps and interpretations of three key areas of the Eastern Pyrenees where GQVs are well exposed. The studied rocks record different styles of deformation and are representative of common settings of the Pyrenees where GQVs are present: pre-Variscan metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks, late Variscan granitoids, and Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary rocks. GQVs in the study areas formed along pre-existing brittle and ductile structures or at locations with lithological heterogeneities, and have alteration haloes of silicified host rocks. The geological maps and interpretations presented here contribute to gain insights into the formation mechanisms of GQVs and into the structural constraints on fluid flow and mineral reactions at different depths of the Earth’s crust.

Title: Hydrogeology of a complex karst catchment in Southern Dalmatia (Croatia) and Western Herzegovina (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Abstract:
Our study focuses on a sizeable transboundary karst catchment in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, extending over 2000 km2. A complex underground conduit system and extreme karst forms heterogeneity are the main characteristics of the area in question. Since determining the boundary of such a large and complex catchment is difficult, we used different kinds of data sets, of which the most relevant are the available geological data, hydrochemical data, hydrological data, and tracing tests data, to divide the regional catchment into six subcatchments. We also examined past archived reports and carried out new hydrological investigations of several major and minor springs. Our research results in a hydrogeological map that can be used as a base for establishing site-specific groundwater protection zones, for water balance calculations and the planning of new research in this area, especially the ones regulating combined cross-border efforts to prevent groundwater contamination and ensure sufficient drinking water.

Title: Sedimentary hydrodynamics of a sandy bay under macrotidal conditions (Saire Bay, France)
Abstract:
Identified as one of the most vulnerable environment to the impacts of sea-level rise, the morphological and hydrological diversity of coastal areas complicates their study. To understand their evolution, it is essential to characterize their current morpho-sedimentary distributions and processes. Morphologic interpretation, from LiDAR data, coupled with grain-size and geochemical analyses of 200 samples, subsequently interpreted with statistical tools (PCA), allow us to determine the pattern of sedimentary transport of Saire Bay (Normandy, France).Even if the area is mainly dominated by tidal currents, the original morphology of Saire Bay highlights an uncommon complex circulation on a sandy tidal flat. Sedimentary land-sea exchanges, induced by tidal current, do not occur through the river Saire network in the north, but in south, along a less apparent secondary channel. Results provide an essential base to better understand the evolution of the coastline.

Title: Geomorphology of coralligenous reefs offshore southeastern Sicily (Ionian Sea)
Abstract:
Coralligenous (C) includes calcareous build-ups of biogenic origin, formed since the Holocene transgression. Peculiar columnar-shaped C outcrops were documented offshore Marzamemi village (SE Sicily, Ionian Sea), although the actual extension and distribution were not assessed. Project ‘CRESCIBLUREEF’ produced a new, 17 km2 high-resolution bathymetric map, leading to good knowledge about their extent in this area. C bioconstructions are largely distributed along two depth ranges 36–42 m and 86–102 m water depth. By coupling the documented uplift rate in this region and the Holocene sea-level curve, we were able to interpret the distribution of C outcrops over terraces. However, additional investigation is required to understand: (1) the role of the inherited continental shelf landscape, in creating a favorable substrate for the settlement and growth of C habitats during the Holocene, and (2) the extent to which C bioconstructions can impact the evolution of present-day continental shelf landforms and landscapes.

Title: Geomorphology of the Liera catchment (Dolomites, NE Italy): understanding landscape response to an extreme event
Abstract:
Geomorphological field surveys and mapping have been carried out in a catchment of the Dolomites (eastern Italian Alps) as part of a research project aiming at the assessment of sediment availability for mass wasting in mountain environments. The study area is the Liera catchment which was severely affected by a high-intensity, regional-scale storm named ‘Vaia’ (27–30 October 2018), which induced relevant morphological changes, caused a major flood in the main stream and triggered debris flows in many tributaries. This contribution gives a snapshot of the present-day state of the study area to improve the understanding of such a landscape by characterizing the processes that control its geomorphological spatio-temporal dynamics and evolution.

Title: The paleolandscape evolution of the southwestern coast of Sardinia (Italy) and its impact on Mesolithic settlements
Abstract:
We present a geomorphological map of the southwestern coast of Sardinia encompassing inland and offshore areas of the S’Omu e S’Orku Mesolithic site. The submerged area was documented by high-resolution multibeam bathymetry combined with Side-Scan Sonar data. The emerged coastal area was surveyed using Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle Remote Sensing and field surveys. The inland landforms were shaped by coastal, fluvial, and gravity-induced processes. Most of the submerged landforms appear be modeled in subaerial conditions during sea-level lowstands, and then sealed by the rising sea level. The coastal evolution has been characterized by the rapid cliff retreat facilitated intense linear erosion of watercourses, by debris flows, rockfalls and toppling. Geomorphological evidences of cliff retreat due to landslide was supported by a simplified analytic hydraulic model of the wave-cliff interaction. These processes and the sea level rise canceled any possible Mesolithic settlement along the coast. The survival of the S’Omu e S’Orku site is only due to a protected morphological position and to the distance from the Early Holocene coastline. The dearth of coastal Early Holocene prehistoric sites is likely the outcome of the presented coastal dynamics.

Title: Structural setting and architecture of the North Cycladic Detachment System in the northeastern sectors of Mykonos Island (Greece)
Abstract:
We present the 1:8000 scale geological map of the northeastern sector of Mykonos Island, where an igneous, metamorphic and siliciclastic sequence is cut by the North Cycladic Detachment System (NCDS), and brittly-ductily deformed during the emplacement of the Mykonos Granite. We describe the architecture of the (ductile) Livada and (brittle) Mykonos Detachments pertaining to the NCDS. Geological mapping was functional to (i) the description of along and across strike geometrical variations of the detachments and (ii) the analysis of the deformation and strain partitioning within the deformed rocks. We show that deformation localisation differs along dip and strike for the Mykonos Detachment, which accommodated deformation both through thick and localised fault zones. Also, the ductile fabric of the Livada Detachment is characterised by a strong strain localisation, which generally decreases from eastwards. Moreover, the geological map shows that the detachments orientation allowed the local elision of the original tectono-stratigraphy.

Title: Geosites and geological landscapes of Liguria (Italy)
Abstract:
Liguria is a small region in Northwestern Italy which is characterized by significant and valuable geoheritage. The 1:250,000 map presented in this paper displays the 120 geosites of Liguria, officially approved by regional and national authorities, framed in the context of the geological landscapes of the region. The geological landscapes were obtained by categorizing and thematizing geological, lithological and geomorphological data in macro-units with similar characteristics. Protected areas (National parks, regional parks and natural reserves) and caves are also highlighted in the map. This work aims to give a better understanding of the Ligurian geoheritage, its relationship with the geological and geomorphological context, and the framework of protected areas. Thus, the present map can be a useful tool for developing effective geoheritage management and enhancement strategies.

Title: Landscape evolution and the karst development in the Ojo Guareña multilevel cave system (Merindad de Sotoscueva, Burgos, Spain)
Abstract:
The Ojo Guareña karst system (OG) is located in the SE Cantabrian Range in northern Spain (Burgos, Spain). It is a multilevel cave system composed of 6 levels and is one of the longest cavities in the Iberian Peninsula (110 km). The spatial patterns and geomorphological characteristics of OG constitute a first-order record for studying the principal mechanisms of how the karst evolved by reconstruction and analysis of the external landscape. This extended karst system is attributed to the action of the local drainage system driven by Quaternary climatic fluctuations and lithological-structural controls. To contribute to this debate, we performed a detailed geomorphological mapping of this area (1:25,000 scale), differentiating the landforms according to the main geomorphological processes (structural, gravity, fluvial, glacial, weathering and polygenetic) involved. These datasets were used to draw a detailed geomorphological map and give a preliminary interpretation of the local landscape evolution.

Title: Tectonics of the Iberian continental margins and abyssal plains
Abstract:
The tectonic map at scale 1:1,750,000 presented in this work shows an update of the existing knowledge of the main tectonic and volcanic structures along the Iberian continental margins and abyssal plains. The morphotectonic trends around Iberia recorded superposed geodynamic processes linked to the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean since the Mesozoic and the evolution of the Mediterranean Sea during the Cenozoic, as well as the reactivation of Hercynian faults and the formation of new tectonic structures during the Alpine orogeny. This map is based on the interpretation of the digital bathymetric model and other geophysical data from our own studies, and those from other authors. The morphotectonic features in this map provides a basis for the recognition of the tectonic control at lithospheric plate scale and the establishment of potential tectonic and volcanic risk zones.A tectonic map at a scale 1:1,750,000 of the continental margins and abyssal plains of Iberia is presented.This new and complete tectonic map can be the base for further detailed geological and geophysical studies.The compiled tectonic structures shown in the Main Map are available as supplemental online material.

Title: 3D Visualization of geological structures using Python: the case study of the Palomeque sheets (SE, Spain)
Abstract:
The goal of this paper is the construction of computerized 3D visualization of geological structures. Several Python applications have been used to adapt the paper map-based geological classical information to numerical geological maps represented in HTML files. The models include a map with the stratigraphic and structural contacts and symbols, five serial vertical sections, and a geological block diagram, all with real topography. This block diagram made with 2D figures allows a 3D visualization. Palomeque area (Murcia region, southeastern Spain) has been used as a key-case. This area consists of a deformed Upper Cretaceous to Oligocene succession belonging to the Internal Zone Malaguide Complex. The main structure consists of two thrust-fold sheets forming an imbricate system, also affected by a set of strike-slip faults with a sinistral regime. The constructed maps show a good agreement with the published classical geological maps and cross-sections demonstrating the benefits of using these Python applications.

Title: Bringing micro to the macro: how citizen science data enrich geospatial visualizations to advance health equity
Abstract:
Social and spatial contexts affect health, and understanding nuances of context is key to informing successful interventions for health equity. Layering mixed methods and mixed scale data sources to visualize patterns of health outcomes facilitates analysis of both broad trends and person-level experiences across time and space. We used micro-scale citizen scientist-collected data from four Bay Area communities along with aggregate epidemiologic and population-level data sets to illustrate barriers to, and facilitators of, physical activity in low-income aging adults. These data integrations highlight the synergistic value added by combining data sources, and what might be missed by relying on either a micro- or macro-level data source alone. Mixed methods and granularity data integration can generate a deeper understanding of environmental context, which in turn can inform more relevant and attainable community, advocacy, and policy improvements.

Title: Race, rurality and geographic accessibility to medication for opioid use disorder in the U.S.
Abstract:
Disparities in geographic access to medication for opioid use disorder (OUD) are well documented. Further, historical implications of systemic racism and of the longstanding War on Drugs in the United States have driven both social and spatial inequities in access to treatment. This work builds on a previously published spatial access methodology that uses a gravity-based variant of the enhanced two-step floating catchment area model, to determine how OUD pharmacotherapy accessibility varies nationally at the census tract level. Medication for OUD (MOUD) accessibility scores are then analyzed by rurality and racial/ethnic segregation. The Getis-Ord Gi* statistic was used to identify clusters of high or low accessibility to MOUD, while the interaction index was used as a measure of segregation to assess the racial/ethnic population distribution. The results of the clustering statistic, and the associated significance values were then compared to rurality and interaction using the Chi-Square test to determine if hot or cold areas of access are independent of rurality and racial/ethnic spatial distributions. Lastly, the percentage of buprenorphine providers at capacity by census tract was calculated using the binary ‘at-capacity’ data attribute associated with each SAMHSA buprenorphine provider record. The results demonstrate distinct spatial variability of MOUD resources based on urbanicity and racial makeup that have significant implications for intervention or policy reform that seeks to encourage equal access to both treatment modalities.MOUD access varies by racial segregation and ruralityBlack segregated and integrated Black-White urban communities have greater accessibility to both MOUD typesWhite urban communities have significantly lower levels of spatial access to MOUDLow urban MOUD induction and adherence rates of minority populations are likely not strongly driven by spatial access, rather structural, political, physical, and social components are more influential to intervention uptake.97% of buprenorphine providers were at their patient capacity limit prior to the end of the federal DATA waiver process in June 2023.

Title: Relation between relief and Badland spatial distribution in the Paleogene Pazin Basin, Croatia
Abstract:
Badlands are specific landforms characterized by intense denudation processes. Their occurrence is mainly associated with clay-like materials and semi-arid and Mediterranean climates. This study presents the badland inventory for the Paleogene Pazin Basin located on the Istrian peninsula in Croatia. A total of 5,381 badland polygons, with a total area of 10.25 km2, were manually outlined, based on the visual interpretation of orthophotos at a scale of 1:5,000. The badlands in Istria are represented as small and isolated landforms and are exclusively associated with flysch and flysch-like materials, which cover a significant part of the study area (46%). The analysis of badland inventory shows that badlands are spatially not equally distributed but that their abundance is increasing from NW to SE part of the analyzed area. Additionally, the results of the spatial analysis indicate the positive relationship between badland occurrence and relative relief, which is presented via the relief-badland index.

Title: Geomorphological evolution and mapping of the littoral of Asturias and Cantabria (Northern Spain) in the area of El Pindal Cave: relations between coastline and karstic morphologies
Abstract:
Along the northern littoral of the Iberian Peninsula, from Cuerres (Asturias) to Oyambre (Cantabria) there are caves, such as El Pindal (World Heritage List). Two geomorphologic maps have been prepared: a general scaled 1:25000, and a detail one of the cave, with erosional and depositional landforms geomorphologic units. A relative Quaternary chronology for the depositional landforms, uses colour spots. Marine morphologies suitable for determining past sea-level positions were surveyed to identify the elevation of past high-stands and reconstructing paleo-shorelines. As a result, the study of seven erosional surfaces (rasas) in quartzites and six on limestones led to reconstructing a general sequence between 275–120 m and 90–1 m above sea level (a.s.l.) respectively. Around the El Pindal cave there are four rasas cut on quartzites (171–160 m) and four cut on limestone (65–32 m). Other additional indicators of paleoshorelines are: 24–25 m entrance to the El Pindal cave, 20–21 m lower Pindal, 15–17 m marine terrace, 9–10 m shelter, 2–3 m notches and 0–1 m present rasa.Considering the elevation rates for the various rasas, an estimated value of 0.066 mm/y as the most probable, it is concluded that the beginning of Quaternary lays at 172 m a.s.l.

Title: Countermapping SDG 5 to address violence against women and girls in the favelas of Maré, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Abstract:
Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) remains one of the most significant problems affecting women globally with its elimination being central to achieving SDG 5 on gender equality. While information on its prevalence is increasing globally, this is often at the national scale with limited local-level data. Responding to feminist critiques of SDG 5 and target 5.2 in terms of the importance of capturing more nuanced data on grassroots women’s experiences as agents rather than victims, this paper reflects on countermapping VAWG in the favelas of Maré in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Drawing on countermapping methodologies, it analyses a series of countermaps highlighting the prevalence of VAWG, but also the need to report and resist it locally. Only by revealing the complexity of VAWG and women’s practices to deal with it can such violence be truly eliminated in order to meet SDG 5 and target 5.2.

Title: Geomorphology of the Central Kurdistan Region of Iraq: landscapes of the Erbil Plain between the Great Zab and Little Zab Rivers
Abstract:
We present the result of the geomorphological mapping of the central sector of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Therein, landscape evolution was mostly overseen by the regional geodynamic, related to the Arabia-Eurasia convergence, and in the Quaternary, regional climate fluctuations contributed to shaping landforms. The combination of such processes affected the distribution, types, and evolution of landforms (related to structural, hillslope, fluvial, and karst processes), with a noteworthy influence on the development of the local drainage network, which belongs to Tigris River catchment. The Great Zab and Little Zab Rivers – the main left tributaries of Tigris River – progressively cut anticline ridges growing in the area. Our analyses suggest that the structural deformation of the Zagros also controlled the evolution of the low-order channels of the hydrographic network. Since the Holocene, landforms dynamic was altered by intense human exploitation of the landscape and increased fluctuations between arid and humid conditions.

Title: Administrative and ethno-linguistic boundaries of Western Tigray (Ethiopia) since 1683
Abstract:
The geographical configuration of northwest Ethiopia has changed often and significantly during the previous four centuries, according to a meta-analysis of historical maps. Boundary lines of languages in use and of territorial control were reported on the Main Map. Sixty-six coeval historical maps depict the territorial control of Western Tigray, also known as Welkait and its surrounding districts. The area is specifically recorded as part of Tigray from 1707 to 1794, 1831 to 1886, and 1939 to 1941. From 1891 to 1909 and 1944 to 1990, it is labelled as being a part of Amhara or Gondar. Welkait is shown in other eras as either being autonomous or a component of a broader Mezaga lowland territory. The agreement of 32 ethnolinguistic maps of northern Ethiopia from the twentieth century sustains the post-1991 extent of the Tigray region in the districts located between the Tekeze River and the Sudanese border.In Ethiopia, the current regional organisation is determined by ethnolinguistic demographics rather than the historical dominance of a group over that land.In Western Tigray (north Ethiopia), there have been challenges with identity and territorial conquest.Based on ancient maps, we drew the successive positions of the border between the western portions of Tigray and Amhara.Territorial organisation varied strongly throughout the centuries, with most maps showing borders positioned south of the current boundary of the two regions.According to the near consensus of 20th C. language maps, the present size of the Tigray Region matches the extent of the Tigrinya language in Ethiopia.This map supports an approach where the resolution of territorial disputes reflects the ethnolinguistic makeup.

Title: Reconstructing anthropic coastal landscape of Campi Flegrei volcanic area (Southern Italy) during the Roman period from multi-technique surveys
Abstract:
Campi Flegrei is one of the widest and most dangerous active volcanic complexes in the Mediterranean basin, known to be affected by continuous and sudden vertical ground movements (bradyseismic crisis) that have characterized the post-calderic volcanic activity since the Late Pleistocene and particularly during the Roman period. Despite the intense volcano-tectonic processes, the area has been densely inhabited since the Greek-Roman as testified by several submerged archaeological remains here used as high-precision relative sea-level markers. By using a complex multi-technique approach made of direct, indirect morpho-acoustic and optical surveys, and stratigraphic analysis, we present a detailed reconstruction of the coastal landscape of Campi Flegrei and its surroundings between the Roman Late Republican and Early Imperial ages. The coastal scenario aims to facilitate the comprehension of how volcano-tectonic events influenced the evolution of this singular coastal landscape, and how these interfered with human activity in terms of damages and adaptation.

Title: Mapping and chronological classification of marine terraces along the southern side of the Sibari Plain (northern Calabria, Italy) by means of digital and analogue tools
Abstract:
We study the marine terraces of the southern side of the Sibari Plain in Northern Calabria (Italy) through the use of traditional and quantitative analyses of the Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The main aim of the present work consists in the extensive use of GIS tools that were never used before in the area, and in checking the applicability of this procedure. The terraced surfaces identified using photo interpretation and those recognized semi-automatically through the GIS tools were compared to finally produce a consensus map. In the final map, we identified 272 terraced surfaces and 62 morphological features associated with inner margins (i.e. paleoshorelines). The main map shows a well-developed flight of seven orders of marine terraces with elevation ranging from 45 to 360 m asl and age ranging from Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5a to 11.

Title: Vegetation/land cover of a UTM-Hectad in Utande (La Alcarria, Central Spain)
Abstract:
In this paper, we present a map of the current state of vegetation and land use in a UTM square measuring 10 × 10 km in Utande (La Alcarria, Central Spain) at a semi-detailed scale of 1:20,000. The map presented here offers an example of how to carry out a series of maps of the plant landscape, using regular grid squares of 100 km2 (hectads). The map was drawn up using a cartographic method scaled in levels, which can be updated in line with advances in territorial tracking, and enabled us to group together synthetic categories adapted to the biogeographical idiosyncrasy of territory. We recommend combining this phytocoenotic study with another focusing on the flora and the chorology in the same space. A map was obtained with 35 categories, which offers a large-scale image of the biophysical land covers. This will be useful for territorial planning and biodiversity protection.

Title: From floor to roof of a batholith: geology and petrography of the north-eastern Serre Batholith (Calabria, southern Italy)
Abstract:
We present an original geological map of the north-eastern Serre Batholith (southern Italy), together with new field and petrographic data of its main five granitoid units. Our study provides an overall picture of a c. 13-thick floor-to-roof batholith exposure, focusing on the relationships between the magmatic units, which were sequentially emplaced at depth from c. 23 to c. 6 km, in a time interval from c. 297 Ma to c. 292 Ma. Indeed, this composite and zoned batholith, with its crustal scale exposure and large compositional and structural diversity, is a real natural laboratory where to test models of granitoid magma production and batholith construction. The new geological map and related field and petrographic data provide a valuable addition to the existing knowledge of the Serre Batholith and, at the same time, a new starting point for further in-depth multidisciplinary investigations aimed to better understand its architecture and build-up mechanisms.

Title: The geomorphology of Ireland’s continental shelf
Abstract:
The Irish Shelf Seabed Geomorphological Map (ISSGM) (v2023) presented here, is the first high-resolution geomorphological map of the entire Irish continental shelf. This large-scale mapping exercise took advantage of the vast INFOMAR multibeam echosounder dataset, and used a protocol of semi-automated mapping techniques to accurately and rapidly extract seabed features. All previous mapping efforts and existing literature on the Irish shallow shelf geomorphology have also been collated and integrated in the map, critically evaluating the previous interpretations. An internationally standardised classification scheme was adopted, aligning the ISSGM (v2023) to other international geomorphological work. At a national level, this detailed geomorphological digital map is intended primarily as a resource to better inform multiple offshore activities and management of the marine environment. The map also acts as a baseline for future studies in marine geomorphology, as it identifies gaps in the knowledge and highlights areas of contentious interpretation that require further work. The map is available online on the Irish Marine Atlas (https://atlas.marine.ie – Geology Theme).We present the Irish Shelf Seabed Geomorphological Map (v2023), which represents the first high-resolution geomorphology map of the Irish continental shelf.The map was produced using a protocol of modern machine-assisted mapping techniques to streamline the results.All previous mapping efforts and existing literature on Irish shelf geomorphology have been collated and integrated in the map, critically evaluating the previous interpretations.An internationally standardised geomorphological classification scheme has been adopted, aligning the map to international work.The map is intended firstly as a resource to better inform multiple offshore activities and management of the marine environment on the Irish continental shelf.

Title: Geomorphology of the lower Mesopotamian plain at Tell Zurghul archaeological site
Abstract:
The landscape of the Lower Mesopotamia Plain (LMP) has been moulded by water-related processes, consequently, its Holocene geomorphic evolution has been strictly connected to the fluvial process and the anthropogenic water management since 8000 BC. About 6000 years ago, during the maximum marine ingression, the modern cities of Nasiriyah and Al-Amara were close to the Persian Gulf shoreline. Successively, the Tigris and Euphrates developed two wide delta systems, that prograded south-eastward developing a complex fluvial network. Remote sensing investigations over the LMP using satellite imagery and topographic analysis revealed the surficial expression of deltaic bodies with a lobate planform and several terminal distributary channels (TDCs), classifiable as tidal-influenced river-dominated deltas. Tell Zurghul archaeological site, belonging to the ancient State of Lagash, expanded in the western part of the recognized TDC during the Mid- and Late Holocene. Indeed, the occurrence of a divergent multi-channel system supplied water for the early civilizations, which improved the water management and prevented floods through a canals network. Therefore, the multi-sensor remote sensing approach over an area of 2850 km2 allowed us to recognize several fluvial landforms, both still active and relict, attributable to the Holocene riverscape of the LMP, as well as anthropogenic features and aeolian deposits. The Main map is a geomorphological map at the scale of 1:120,000 centred on Tell Zurghul, focusing on the geometry, spatial distribution, and state of activity of erosional and constructional landforms.

Title: Global environmental systems – multivariate anthropoecological classification
Abstract:
Changes to the Earth's environment, increasing anthropogenic pressure, and the global decline of biodiversity bring the need to establish spatial frameworks for the monitoring and assessment of such dynamic processes. Several environmental stratifications have been developed at the global level; however, most of them only include natural conditions in the classification process. Incorporating spatial patterns of biodiversity and the degree of anthropogenic pressure seems to be essential in an era of significant environmental transformation. We developed a new comprehensive classification of Global Environmental Systems based on general abiotic gradients, distribution of biodiversity, and spatial differentiation of human impact. This classification is based on 22 variables covering abiotic, biotic, and anthropogenic factors. We identified 10 abiotic, biotic, and anthropogenic classes using cluster analysis; their combination results in 169 unique Global Environmental Systems (GES) showing human-environment interactions. Each class shows an area with similar abiotic and biotic background and human pressure..

Title: Geology of Montecastelli Pisano (inner Northern Apennines, Italy): normal and transfer fault zones affecting a dismantled ophiolite bearing orogenic wedge
Abstract:
We present the geological map (1:10.000) of the Montecastelli Pisano area, where (i) the relationships between Neogene-Quaternary transfer and normal faults have been carefully mapped (Sheet 1), and (ii) the mantle sequence of the Ligurian Ocean has been analysed (Sheet 2). Fault analyses allowed to define: (i) NE-trending fault system (left-lateral strike- to oblique-slip faults) belonging to a transfer shear zone; and (ii) NW-trending normal to oblique-slip faults. Their evolution is framed in the extensional tectonics affecting the Northern Apennines since Early-Middle Miocene. The ophiolite complex is constituted by serpentinized spinelharzburgite with minor serpentinized dunite channels cut by gabbro dykes. A km-scale cataclastic zone cut the mantle section, locally hosting Cu-Fe mineralization. The goal of this work is to present the distribution of the main fractures affecting an area where the occurrence of ophiolite can favor the success of the CO2 reinjection project.

Title: Bycatch species distribution from mid-water trawlers in the north-eastern Arabian sea: a step towards the implementation of marine spatial planning
Abstract:
Spatial conservation planning to reduce the impact of fishing on ecosystems necessitates understanding of the spatial distribution of bycatch in fishing grounds. Management measures in Indian waters cannot be spatially explicit without this information. Thus, a preliminary study was conducted on the northwest coast of India to identify the most persistent bycatch areas from mid-water trawlers targeting largehead hairtails (Trichiurus lepturus). Semi-variogram modelling and kriging interpolation showed that bycatch abundance varied by species and associated habitat or depth preference. A significant positive correlation between species in bycatch abundance revealed that few share the same habitat in the region. Bycatch species were concentrated in the inshore area (<70 m depth) during the post-monsoon and summer seasons, but their densities reduced in the winter. The bycatch distribution map aid in the future implementation of spatial management measures, such as the designation of the no-fishing zone and conservation networks.

Title: Recent (2018–2021) glaciological, hydrological and geomorphological landscape changes of Hailuogou Glacier tongue, southeastern Tibetan Plateau
Abstract:
Glaciers in the Tibetan Plateau are melting at an unprecedented recently rate in the context of global warming. Time-sequenced landform mapping for the Hailuogou Glacier, a partly debris-covered glacier in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, shows the detailed evolution of glacier changes as the ice recedes. This study presents four maps of the Hailuogou Glacier tongue, a partly debris-covered glacier in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, documenting the spatial evolution of glaciological, hydrological, and geomorphological features from 2018 to 2021. Structure from Motion with Multiview Stereo software was applied to images captured by from uncrewed aerial vehicles were used to produce digital surface models and orthophoto mosaics. These datasets were used, and then to identify and map the features based on pre-defined mapping criteria. From 2018 to 2021, the glacier underwent continuous recession, with the terminus retreating, intense crevassing in the lower part of the ablation zone, and continuous expansion of the terminal disintegration area. The recent evolution of the glacier implies that the gradual disintegration of the lower glacier tongue is likely to be exacerbated over the next decades by the continuous climate warming.

Title: Seafloor characterisation of the offshore sector around Scoglio d’Affrica islet (Tuscan Archipelago, northern Tyrrhenian sea)
Abstract:
We present a very high-resolution bathy-morphological map of the offshore sector around the Scoglio d’Affrica islet (northern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy). The study area covers a sector of 45 km2, between 3 and 85 m depth. Its central part, i.e. the apex of the Ridge, is characterised by a flat or gently sloping seafloor, where three mud volcanoes, and 250 pockmarks are recognised. Differently, the western and eastern Ridge flanks are steeper and characterised by 60 quasi-rectilinear escarpments and small ridges, more than 20 morphological highs, and elongated channels occasionally floored by bedforms. The seafloor shallower than 40 m is covered by Posidonia oceanica, forming compact and continuous or fragmented meadows intermingled with sandy patches. The main map represents the bathy-morphological setting of the area, which is largely affected by fluid seepage, providing insights for habitat mapping and preliminary marine geohazard assessment due to the violent gas outburst from mud volcanoes.

Title: Pasture areas in the Gran Paradiso National Park
Abstract:
Mountain pastures are essential for maintainig biodiversity and local economies. Despite the great value and fragility of these ecosystems, an up-to-date overview of extent and type of alpine pastures is lacking in many areas of the Alps. In this study, the interpretation of ancillary information combined with expeditious field campaigns, and the harmonization of classification methodologies allowed us to: (1) define the spatial extent of mountain pastures; (2) identify the non-grazeable percentage in these areas; (3) Characterize and map pasture types within the Gran Paradiso National Park (Italy), where 4596 ha of grazeable areas were mapped. Among the 13 categories identified, the three most represented in the park are Bare thermophile grasslands (38%), Nardus swards (20%), and Alpine intermediate grasslands (18%). The maps obtained in this study are useful for animal management during the grazing season, and have the capability of geographically assessing potential forage avaibility through modeling and remote sensing data.

Title: Efficient geomorphological mapping based on geographic information systems and remote sensing data: an example from Jena, Germany
Abstract:
We present a detailed geomorphological map (1:5000-scale) of a middle mountainous area in Jena, Germany. To overcome limitations and to extend the possibility of manually digital mapping in a structural way, we propose an approach using geographic information systems (GIS) and high-resolution digital data. The geomorphological map features were extracted by manually interpreting and analyzing the combination of different data sources using light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data. A combination of topographic and geological maps, digital orthophotos (DOPs), Google Earth images, field investigations, and derivatives from digital terrain models (DTMs) revealed that it is possible to generate the geomorphologic features involved in classical mapping approaches. LiDAR-DTM and land surface parameters (LSPs) can provide better results when incorporating the visual interpretation of multidirectional hillshade and LSP composite maps.Findings enabled us to systematically delineate landforms and geomorphological process domains. We suggest that further use of digital data should be undertaken to support analysis and applications.

Title: Structural geology of the eastern termination of the Mt. Kumeta-Alcantara line (NE sicily, Italy)
Abstract:
In this paper we show data from new detailed geological-structural field surveys, integrated with preliminary photogrammetric analysis, presented in a 1:10,000 scale geological map. The field-based investigations covered an area of about 60-km2, located at the southern termination of the Calabrian Forearc, in NE Sicily (Italy), at the intersection of two key regional-scale fault systems. These are represented by the Peloritani Sole-Thrust, along which the Kabilo-Calabride orogenic edifice overthrusted onto the Apenninic-Maghrebian Chain, and the Mt. Kumeta-Alcantara Line, which played a key role in the post-Oligocene evolution of the Nubia–Eurasia converging margin. The collected data permitted the recognition of a new terrigenous stratigraphic unit, the Malvagna Flysch, and the acquisition of updated structural information useful to better understand the kinematics of the easternmost portion of the Mt. Kumeta-Alcantara Line. The geological map provides new insights for the reconstruction of the geodynamic evolution of this sector of the Calabrian Forearc.

Title: Geology of the lower Belice River valley, epicentral area of the M > 5 1968 seismic sequence (south-western Sicily, Italy)
Abstract:
We present a new 1:25,000-scale geological map of the lower Belice River valley, the area struck by the M > 5.0 devastating 1968 seismic sequence, whose seismic source and seismotectonic framework are still controversial. The map, utilizing dating methods and traditional field survey approaches integrated by high-resolution topography, provides an unprecedented detail and precision on the spatial distribution and on the compressional growth geometries of the prominent sedimentary sequence. This map, supported by the first recognition of an on-shore Chibanian-Calabrian deposition and by identifying a flight of marine terraces, offers new insights on the long-lasting syn-depositional tectonic forces up to late-Pleistocene-Holocene times. Such tectonic forces may take part in the regional ongoing deformational phase, prompting detailed studies on the potential seismic sources affecting the area.

Title: Indoor radon measurements in Calabria (Southern Italy)
Abstract:
Radon gas from the ground is the main source of indoor concentrations in buildings, regardless of construction characteristics. According to Council Directive 2013/59/EURATOM, EU Member States must establish national reference levels for indoor radon concentrations in workplaces and draw up a National Radon Plan. In Calabria (Southern Italy), maps of indoor measurements at regional scale are not available. A set of 1434 average annual measurements, taken between 2010 and 2021, has been analysed. For a limited sector, a geostatistical approach allowed to map the expected concentrations at ground floor, the spatial uncertainty of estimates, and the probability of exceedance of the 300 Bq m−3 Italian threshold for workplaces. Highest values characterize the eastern border of the Sila massif. Obtained maps might be used to optimize locations of additional dosimeters, based on geological constraints. Such studies may support urban planning policies and provide recommendations on building techniques.

Title: The Ar-Hötöl surface rupture along the Khovd fault (Mongolian Altay)
Abstract:
We present a 1:200,000 scale map of the Ar-Hötöl surface rupture along the Khovd fault (Mongolian Altay), presumed to be the expression of the 1761 CE Mw ∼ 7.8 Great Mongol earthquake. The detailed mapping combines airborne and terrestrial imaging and topographic techniques (Sentinel-2, Pleiades, TanDEM-X, UAV and TLS) to quantify right-lateral and vertical offsets ranging from ∼ 1 m to ∼ 4 km over a length of 238 km. The smaller offsets document the deformation associated with the last surface-rupturing earthquake that affects several Bronze to Iron Age burial mounds. Their analysis yields a robust segmentation model comprising 6 segments of 20 to 51 km in length, a maximum co-seismic slip value of 4.8 m ± 0.5 m located near the center of the rupture. Our observations precise the varying kinematics along strike, bring new evidence of repeated faulting and confirm a Mw of 7.8 ± 0.3.

Title: Plio-Quaternary coastal landscape evolution of north-western Sicily (Italy)
Abstract:
We present and discuss the results of a geomorphological and geological study aimed at reconstructing the Plio-Quaternary evolution of the NW Sicily coastal belt , a low strain rate region in the central Mediterranean Sea.We performed morphometric and field analysis of Quaternary marine terraces extracting more than 300 shoreline location points subdivided into six orders. The obtained dataset was validate by investigating the morphological changes along topographic profiles and comparing the extracted locations and elevations with the stratigraphic boundaries in the Plio-Quaternary units.We distinguished two contiguous coastal sectors characterized by different paleo-shoreline elevations and Plio-Quaternary evolution, whose estimated uplift rates fit well with the well-known, regional eastward uplift rate increase along the Northern Sicilian continental margin.Obtained results, summarized in a geomorphological map and a morpho-evolutionary model, provide new valuable data to characterize the active deformation processes and the seismotectonic setting in this critical sector of the Africa-Europe plate boundary.

Title: Estimation of the minimum required bus capacity between the hinterland and the centre of a functional urban region – a comparative study of the five largest Serbian cities
Abstract:
This study presents a simply applicable method for comparing the capacity and potential of suburban bus services. The starting point for the analysis of the capacity is raw data from individual transport companies on the frequency of bus connections and the connectivity of centres with other parts of urban regions. A minimum seat capacity constant, based on the definition of a bus as a means of public transport, enables getting estimation of minimal required capacity. The concept of demographic gravitation serves as a comparative element of gravitational and capacity potential between settlements within urban regions, namely, demographic force, which measures the population of two settlements with the square of the distance between them with adequately made calibration based on real traffic flows. The results provide a comprehensive picture of the distribution of the suburban bus network, with detailed values of the required capacity in the lowest administrative units.

Title: A drift isopach model for the southwestern Great Slave Lake region, Northwest Territories, Canada
Abstract:
This study produced a drift thickness model for the southwestern Great Slave Lake area of northern Canada, using 12,692 lithostratigraphic records (seismic shothole drillers’ logs, diamond drill holes, petroleum wells), and field observations. Numerous algorithms and modelling parameters were tested using 6122 records of absolute drift thickness, and based on a cross-validation analysis, an empirical Bayesian kriging K-Bessel detrended algorithm was found to produce the best fit. The final model, incorporating selected maximum and minimum thickness estimate data, produced a root mean square error of 4.98 m, with 94.8% of the data points within ±2 m of the modelled drift thicknesses. The model identifies widespread areas of drift >10 m thick, and prominent southeast-northwest aligned bedrock ramps. Karst structures buried by ≤73 m of drift were identified southwest of Great Slave Lake and appear to be aligned with regional fault systems like ore-associated karst at Pine Point. These may be the source of anomalous glacial sediment-derived base metal indicators collected proximally to the west. The most striking drift anomaly is in Cameron Hills where the eastern and northern margins are comprised of shale and siltstone bedrock overlain by 20–40 m of glacial sediments, but the central and western uplands have petroleum well logs identifying glacial sediments up to 400 m thick. In addition to mineral exploration, results of this study provide baseline data that can be used predictively by the petroleum industry in designing future seismic and drilling (casing depth) operations, and by those modelling groundwater sources and flow.

Title: Yuuyaraq today, Yuuyaraq tomorrow: modeling erosion threats to Yup’ik traditional land use areas
Abstract:
The following article illustrates the impact of contemporary coastline change on Yup’ik subsistence practices known collectively as Yuuyaraq. We draw from an extensive archive (n = 490) of historic maps, aerial photographs, and surveying reports collected and digitized over the course of on-site visits to Quinhagak, AK from 2018-2021. In addition, our research team conducted numerous recorded (n = 7) and unrecorded (n = 42) interviews with community members about recent environmental changes near Quinhagak to study the impact of coastal erosion. Our aim is to demonstrate how archival maps can provide high quality, mobile-friendly visualizations so that Yupik researchers and community members can study the impact of climate change in the Yukon-Kuskokwim (Y-K) Delta.
