Wildland fires frequently happen and develop in hard-to-reach regions, fast covering large areas due to the presence of ignitable matters together with beneficial meteorological circumstances. Human actions and natural events are the main reasons for...

The availability of very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery (<1 m) has opened new vistas in large-scale mapping and information management in urban environments. Buildings are the most essential dynamic incremental factor in the urban environ...

Geochemical risk is caused by the release of hazardous chemicals to the earth surface. Primary diamond deposits are located in difficult mining and geological conditions. They represent natural geochemical anomalies associated with the mineral compos...

Cities in the last century have been suffering from the disorderly and unplanned growth of urban centers. Consequently, innumerable environmental problems started to plague these regions, one of them is the alteration of the surface temperature throu...

Sand is a common construction material used for various purposes, e.g., concrete, mortar, render, screed, and asphalt. The usage depends on its fineness, and its fineness is controlled by its mineralogical composition and physical-mechanical properti...

The correct representation of the topography of terrain is an important requirement to generate photogrammetric products such as orthoimages and maps from high-resolution (HR) or very high-resolution (VHR) satellite datasets. The refining of the digi...

Entering the European Union, the Republic of Croatia took over the INSPIRE directive called the National Spatial Data Infrastructure. A large amount of spatial data can be found through the National Spatial Data Infrastructure Geoportal. Data are ava...

In this work, the view of a series of practical research-and-educational activities and mentorship within the institute Research Station of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Bishkek (RS RAS) are presented. STEM learning on-site, specifically related...

The Lorraine–Saar Basin is one of the largest geologically and commercially important Paleozoic coal-bearing basins in Western Europe and has considerable coal reserves in numerous coal beds. The basin stands out due to its sedimentary column of up t...

Water has always been a critical resource for humans and climate change could aggravate supply problems. In this context, groundwater could be an important reservoir of water, especially given the dispersion of places where it can be obtained and the...
