    Beschreibung: In recent years significant momentum has occurred in the development of Internet resources for decision makers and scientists interested in the coast. Chief among these has been the development of coastal web atlases (CWAs). While multiple benefits are derived from these tailor-made atlases (e.g., speedy access to multiple sources of coastal data and information), the potential exists to derive added value from the integration of disparate CWAs, to optimize decision making at a variety of levels and across themes. This paper describes the development of a semantic mediator prototype to provide a common access point to coastal data, maps and information from distributed CWAs. The prototype showcases how ontologies and ontology mappings can be used to integrate different heterogeneous and autonomous atlases, using the Open Geospatial Consortium’s Catalogue Services for the Web.

    Beschreibung: Destructive volcaniclastic flows are among the most recurrent and dangerous natural phenomena in volcanic areas. They can originate not only during or shortly after an eruption (syn-eruptive) but also during a period of volcanic quiescence (inter-eruptive), when heavy and/or persistent rains remobilize loose pyroclastic deposits. The area in Italy most prone to such flows is that of the Apennine Mountains bordering the southern Campania Plain. These steep slopes are covered by pyroclastic material of variable thickness (a few cm to several m) derived from the explosive activity of the Somma-Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei volcanoes a few tens of kilometers to the west. The largest and most recent devastating event occurred on May 5, 1998, causing the death of more than 150 people and considerable damage to villages at the foot of the Apennine Mountains. This tragic event was only the most recent of a number of volcaniclastic flows affecting the area in both historical and prehistoric times. Historical accounts report that more than 500 events have occurred in the last five centuries and that more than half of these occurred in the last 100 years, causing hundreds of deaths. In order to improve volcaniclastic flow hazard zonation and risk mitigation in the study area, we produced a zonation map that identifies the drainage basins potentially prone to disruption. This map was obtained by combining morphological characteristics (concavity and basin shape factor) and the mean slope distribution of drainage basins derived from a digital elevation model with a 10-m resolution. These parameters allowed for the classification of 1,069 drainage basins, which have been grouped into four different classes of proneness to disruption: low, moderate, high and very high. The map compiled in a GIS environment, as well as the linked database, can be rapidly queried.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Abstract  Gully development in Central Tunisia is contributing to the fast decrease of agricultural land. Fieldwork has shown the most salient feature influencing the gully morphology and density is the surficial geology. A network of dense V-shaped gullies has developed on the gypsum clay of Lutetian-Priabonian age while deep and narrow U-shaped gullies form in the semi-consolidated fine sandstone of early Oligocene age. The research reported studied the relationship between the geological materials and the growth rate of gullies in the 1500-ha basin of the Oued Maiez, Central Tunisia. An accurate superficial geology map with interpreted geological cross sections has been constructed at a scale of 1 : 12,500. Eight rock units were identified within the drainage basin. The 1963 and 1989 aerial photographs were enlarged to the 1 : 12,500 scale and the gully network indicated in the photographs superimposed on the geological maps. The gully lengths and areas for each geological unit were numerically determined using the Geographic Information System (GIS) Arc/info software. The gully density was found to vary depending on the geological formation. From the 1989 aerial photograph it was 101 m/ha for the Cherichera formation (early and middle Oligocene) while for the unit 2 formation (Lutetian-Priabonian age) it was 285 m/ha. Substantial differences in gully density between 1963 and 1989 were noted. During this 27-year period the growth rate of gullies was found to vary depending on the geological units. The highest growth rate of 100% was found in the semi-consolidated fine sandstone of the Cherichera formation whereas in the unit 8 formation (coarse sands and conglomerates of Quaternary age) it was only 45%. Gully geometry was described for each rock type and it was found that the width/depth ratio also varies according to rock type. In a 64 ha terraced area in the Oued Maiez basin, terracing in 1985 reduced gully density by as much as 27%.
    Notizen: Résumé L'érosion ravinante réduit de plus en plus les terres cultivables en Tunisie Centrale en les transformant en badland. Le développement des ravins est variable dans l'espace et dans le temps suite à la variabilité des paramètres physiques et naturels qui régissent l'accroissement des ravins. Nous nous sommes proposés dans cette recherche d'étudier l'effet des formations lithologiques sur le développement des ravins dans le bassin versant de 1500 ha d'Oued Maiez situé en Tunisie Centrale. Les cartes du réseau hydrographique de 1963 et 1989 ont étéétablies à partir des photographies aériennes au 1/12,500 non redressées. La prospection du terrain nous a permis de constater que la nature lithologique des différentes unités géologiques et superficielles identifiées comme relativement homogènes dans le bassin versant est un facteur déterminant dans le développement des ravins. Ainsi, les argiles gypseuses de la formation Chérichéra (Lutétien-Priabonien) présentent un chevelu de ravins dense alors que les sables fins de l'Oligocène inférieur sont incisés par des ravins en forme de gorges étroites dont la profondeur dépasse souvent les 5 m (Fig. 7). Nous avons alors établi un levé cartographique détaillé au 1/12,500 de ces différentes unités qui sont au nombre de 8. La détermination de la densité du ravinement, définie comme étant le rapport de la longueur des ravins dans une unité lithologique sur sa superficie, a été faite par la numérisation des cartes du réseau hydrographique et géologique et l'extraction à l'aide du système d'information géographique (SIG) Arc/info des ravins inclus dans chacune de ces unités (Figs. 9, 10). Il ressort de cette quantification que, dans les unités dont la superficie varie entre 33.96 ha et 416.86 ha, la densité du ravinement varie entre 101 m/ha et 285 m/ha en 1989 (Tableau 2). La plus faible densité se trouve dans la formation Chérichéra datée de l'Oligocène inférieur à moyen et constituée par la superposition de plusieurs séquences élémentaires d'argile feuilletée verte, de silt et de grès roux coquillier à ciment calcaire. La plus forte densité se trouve dans l'unité 2 datée du Lutétien supérieur- Priabonien et composée d'argiles verdâtres à violacées riches en gypses lamellaires. L'étude diachronique de la densité du ravinement par unité lithologique entre 1963 et 1989 a montré des taux d'évolution variant entre 45% et 100% en 27 ans (Tableau 2). Cela a permis d'effectuer un classement de la susceptibilitéà l'érosion de ces différentes unités. Les travaux de terrassement par des banquettes en 1985 dans une zone couvrant 64 ha de terres agricoles ravinées (Fig. 11) ont permis de réduire la densité des ravins de 27%.

    Notizen: Abstract Controlling wildfires within the wildland/urban interface has proven to be the most complex challenge facing wildland fire agencies. Although program improvements to increase the efficiency of interface suppression efforts have been suggested, the availability of information about the wildfire environment remains a critical resource for wildland fire planning. Geographic Information Systems (GISs) can provide the technology to store, manipulate, analyze, and display spatially oriented information in a form necessary for efficient fire planning and incident decision making. Complex map and attribute information, including vegetation types, fuels models, weather patterns, topography, fire suppression environment, landuse characteristics, and microenvironmental features, can be rapidly summarized and integrated. This integrated information can be used to create unique polygons useful in predicting fire behavior, allocating fire suppression resources, and as an aid in planning land use. Simplified user interfaces and the portability of new hardware systems will allow GISs to be used at every level of wildland fire planning.

    Notizen: Abstract A decision-support system for the Fiber Deployment Plan problem is developed for the telephone cable network design in the telecommunications industry. The system employs a Geographic Information System (GIS) and uses combinatorial optimization techniques as its components. A mathematical combinatorial optimization model is formulated for the problem and a heuristic solution procedure is developed for the model. A GIS within the ESRI Arc/INFO and ArcView environment is used to provide data needed to build the mathematical combinatorial optimization model and to furnish an interface between the users and computers in data input and in solution result display. Combinatorial optimization techniques are used in the heuristic solution procedure to find good solutions for the optimization model. The developed decision-support system has been used to real life problems and has resulted in tremendous improvements in the telephone cable network design process. The user is completely satisfied with the performance of the system.

    Notizen: Abstract Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and digital maps are increasingly available to the computer-using humanities scholar. As a result, questions of data availability and validity are the more crucial. Digital maps may be stored in different formats, both as regards coordinate systems in use and the level of sophistication available for storing geographical information related to the maps. The maps themselves are often under copyright by a national survey agency and the situation in Norway is outlined. Historical sources may often contain geographic references to administrative units that are no longer valid. An example is taken from the University Museum of Antiquities in Oslo. Finally, an example is given of a project where maps from 1880 and 1910 are used in an architectural history project.

    Notizen: Abstract Geographical information systems (GIS) are well suited to the spatial analysis of landscape data, but generally lack programs for calculating traditional measures of landscape structure (e.g., fractal dimension). Standalone programs for calculating landscape structure measures do exist, but these programs do not enable the user to take advantage of GIS facilities for manipulating and analyzing landscape data. Moreover, these programs lack capabilities for analysis with sampling areas of different size (multiscale analysis) and also lack some needed measures of landscape structure (e.g., texture). We have developed the r.le programs for analyzing landscape structure using the GRASS GIS. The programs can be used to calculate over sixty measures of landscape structure (e.g., distance, size, shape, fractal dimension, perimeters, diversity, texture, juxtaposition, edges) within sampling areas of several sizes simultaneously. Also possible are moving window analyses, which enable the production of new maps of the landscape structure within windows of a particular size. These new maps can then be used in other analyses with the GIS.

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: Abstract A cooperative project between the International Rice Research Institute in Los Baños, Philippines, and the U.S. EPA Environmental Research Laboratory in Corvallis, Oregon, was initiated to estimate how rice yield in Asia might be affected by future climate change and enhanced UV-B irradiance following stratospheric ozone depletion. A radiative transfer model was used to estimate daily UV-B irradiance levels using remotely sensed ozone and cloud cover data for 1274 meteorological stations. A rice yield model using daily climatic data and cultivar-specific coefficients was used to predict changes in yield under given climate change scenarios. This paper gives an overview of the data required to run these two models and describes how a geographical information system (GIS) was used as a data pre- or postprocessor. Problems in finding reliable datasets such as cloud cover data needed for the UV-B radiation model and radiation data needed for the rice yield model are discussed. Issues of spatial and temporal scales are also addressed. Using simulation models at large spatial scales helped identify weaknesses of GIS data overlay and interpolation capabilities. Even though we focussed our efforts on paddy rice, the database is not intended to be system specific and could also be used to analyze the response of other natural systems to climatic change.

    Notizen: Abstract Various methods for storing, retrieving, and analyzing historic land use records by means of electronic data processing are evaluated. The procedures are illustrated with data from a pilot study on the Swiss Plateau which is part of a broader landscape historical monitoring program at the Swiss Federal Institute of Forest, Snow and Landscape Research. The land use matrix was derived from topographic maps, aerial photographs and other land use records and spans approximately 100 yrs with an updating cycle of 7 to 20 yrs. A special technique was developed to generate series of digital maps and to superimpose the data layers of various time steps. Each landscape element is described with time-stamped attributes to ensure access to the entire “life history” from any point in space or time. The proposed data model proved to be a powerful tool for routine updating of digital maps. It can be used by practitioners as well as scientists working with Geographical Information Systems (ARC/INFO or similar package). With this procedure, disturbance maps over any number of available updates can be quickly generated, allowing the user to identify zones of similar degrading or upgrading tendency. The procedures for analyzing changing landscape structures include calculation of information theoretic indices (diversity, dominance), calculation of fractals, edge analysis, as well as landscape assessment along random traverses. The latter proved to be especially powerful, where barrier/habitat frequencies were evaluated. On the basis of all parameters calculated, landscape structures on the study plot seem to be ecologically most favorable in the 1930's followed by a strong degradation in the World War II - and the post-World War II period. In contrast to many hypotheses, the landscape structures in the second half of the 19th century were structurally less favorable than between 1900 and 1930.

    Notizen: Abstract Seismic hazard within juvenile rift systems ismodelled by a semi-statistical procedure based onfault segmentation theory. Fault segmentationprovides the physical basis for strong earthquakerecurrence in regions undergoing extension, andtherefore, it may control the position and size of rupture areas for future events. The computercode FRISK (McGuire, 1978) is applied to calculateprobabilistic estimates of ground motion parameters. Six normal fault segments, on average 25 km long, aremodelled as the earthquake sources within the Gulf ofEvia Rift, Central Greece. The position and length ofsegments have been determined from image processing ofremotely-sensed data and field work. FRISK output isdirected to a Geographical Information System (GIS)and a series of high-resolution (0.1 by 0.1 of adegree) digital maps are produced. The results for100 year acceleration (63% not to be exceeded) showa 50% increase in the seismic hazard from previouslyestimated magnitudes. Areas of maximum hazard (over0.4 g) are located on the south coast of the Gulf ofEvia between the towns of Kammena Vourla and Arkitsa. The obtained shape of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA)contours is slightly elliptical with the long axis ofthe ellipse trending E-W, and symmetric, with respectto the rift axis.
