The main aim of this paper is to document the geomorphic expression of active faulting based on remote sensingapproach and supplement the occurrence of one single large magnitude event 600 years or so ago along the Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFT) as deduced ...

Selection of suitable satellite sensors for groundwater exploration

This article is an attempt to compile all scattered information to serve as a comprehensive technical reference. Further, the article surveys the various applications where CORONA data have been used and assesses the potential of these data. Due to low cost, ...

<p>At depth, many fold-and-thrust belts are composed of a gently dipping, basal thrustfault and steeply dipping, shallower splay faults that terminate beneath folds at the surface.Movement on these buried faults is difficult to observe, but synthetic aperture ...

The accuracy of forest stand type maps derived from a Landsat Thematic Mapper (Landsat TM) image of a heterogeneous forest covering rugged terrain is generally low. Therefore, the first objective of this study was to assess whether topographic correction of ...
