J. L. Fastook and J. W. Head. Late noachian icy highlands: Patterns of ice accumulation and flow. Lunar and Planetary Science XXXXV, #1115, 2014. Introduction: The record of non-polar ice deposits throughout the Amazonian suggest a cold and dry climate not significantly different from the present climate observed on Mars [1], where latitudinal movement of ice is […]

J. L. Fastook and J. W. Head. Amazonian mid- to high-latitude glaciation on Mars: Supply-limited ice sources, ice accumulation patterns, and concentric crater fill glacial flow and ice sequestration. Planetary and Space Science, 91:60–76, doi: 10.1016/j.pss.2013.12.002, 2014. Abstract: Concentric crater fill (CCF) occurs in the interior of impact craters in mid- to high latitudes on Mars and […]

Andre van Delden and Reinhard Moratz. “Crossing the Boundary: Two Benchmarks for Qualitative Spatial Reasoning bridging Relative Directions and Mereotopology”, Spatial Cognition, 2014 (in press) Abstract: A well known problem of classical Qualitative Spatial Reasoning relying on composition tables is the strict division of different spatial aspects. For example, when dealing with relative directional relations, mereotopological […]

Fastook. Late noachian “icy highlands” mars: Implications for melting and groundwater recharge across the tharsis rise. Lunar and Planetary Science XXXXV, #1501, 2014. Introduction: Results from modeling of an early CO2 martian atmosphere and late Noachian climate predict that at pressures greater than a fraction of a bar, atmosphere-surface […]

Beard, K. (201).Visualization of Uncertainty. In D. Richardson (Ed). International Encyclopedia of Geography: People, the Earth, Environment, and Technology. Wiley- AAG. Abstract: Uncertainty is endemic to our world and the data collected and assembled in databases to represent the world. Because uncertainty is usually not explicitly represented, it is often not considered and assessed as a […]

Turner, R.M., Rode, S., and Gagne, D. Toward distributed context-mediated behavior for multiagent systems, in Proceedings of the 8th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT’13), Annecy, France, October, 2013. (Also published as a volume in Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, Springer, 2013.) Abstract: Although much attention has been devoted to modeling and using […]

Published: Jan 1, 2013 Author(s): Gagne, David, Rode, Sonia, Turner, Roy M. Abstract: Many tasks requiring multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are simple, with static goals, of short duration, and require few AUVs, often of the same type. Simple coordination mechanisms that assign roles to AUVs before the mission are sufficient for these multi-AUV systems. However, for tasks that […]

Strout, A.B., and Turner, R.M. A game engine-based simulator forautonomous underwater vehicles, in Proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Untethered Submersible Technology (UUST 2013), Portsmouth, NH, August 2013. Abstract: The ideal development platform for autonomous underwater vehicle control software is an actual physical vehicle. However, limited availability of AUVs and the high costs associated with purchasing and […]
