OBJECT-BASED SIMILARITY ASSESSMENT USING LAND COVER META-LANGUAGE (LCML): CONCEPT, CHALLENGES, AND IMPLEMENTATION

Object-Based Similarity Assessment Using Land Cover Meta-Language (LCML): Concept, Challenges, and Implementation

Land cover (LC) is an essential variable for environmental monitoring in many application domains.The detection of changes in LC can support the understanding of environmental dynamics.However, LC legends present a high degree of inconsistencies that significantly reduce their usability.This study investigates the effectiveness of ISO standard 1914

Life cycle assessment of self-healing geopolymer concrete

Current construction developments are trending towards more sustainable practices with greener alternative materials such as geopolymers.Geopolymers are a class of cementitious materials based on inorganic polymers, which are promising substitutes for ordinary Portland cement jean carlu posters (OPC).However, studies have shown that geopolymers are

Spatial characterization of near-surface structure and meltwater runoff conditions across the Devon Ice Cap from dual-frequency radar reflectivity

Melting and refreezing processes in the firn of the Devon Ice Cap control meltwater infiltration and runoff across the ice cap, but their full spatial extent and effect on near-surface structure is difficult to measure with surface-based traverses or existing satellite remote sensing.Here, we derive the coherent component of the near-surface return

Geomechanical characterization of a heterogenous rock mass using geological and laboratory test results: a case study of the Niobec Mine, Quebec (Canada)

Abstract To conduct a successful geomechanical characterization of rock masses, an appropriate interpretation of lithological heterogeneity should be attained by considering both the geological and geomechanical data.In order to clarify the reliability and applicability of geological surveys for rock mechanics purposes, a geomechanical characteriza
