Abstract: Spatial scenes are abstractions of some geographic reality, focusing on the spatial objects identified and their spatial relations. Such qualitative models of space enable spatial querying, computational comparisons for similarity, and the generation of verbal descriptions. A specific strength of spatial scenes is that […]

Published: Jan 1, 2013 Author(s): Caballero, Rodrigo, Ebert, Karin, Fastook, James L., Kleman, Johan, Nilsson, Johan Abstract: We here reconstruct the paleotopography of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets during the glacial maxima of marine isotope stages (MIS) 5b and 4.We employ a com- bined approach, blending geologically based reconstruction and numerical modeling, to arrive at probable ice sheet ex- tents and topographies […]

Marchant. Middle to Late Amazonian tropical mountain glaciers on Mars: The ages of the Tharsis Montes fan-shaped deposits. Planetary and Space Science, 91:52–59, doi: 10.1016/j.pss.2013.12.005, 2013. Abstract: Fan-shaped deposits (FSDs) extending to the northwest of the Tharsis Montes on Mars are the remnants of Amazonian-aged, cold-based, tropical […]

Brodaric: Kinds of full physical containment, Spatial Information Theory (COSIT-2013), Sept. 2013, 20 pages, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 8116, Scarborough, UK, Sept. 2013 Abstract: Full physical containment is the relation in which one physical entity is completely inside another. It is central to the description of natural resources held in reservoirs above […]

J. L. Fastook and J. W. Head. Amazonian non-polar glaciation: Supply-limited glacial history and the role of ice sequestration. Lunar and Planetary Science XXXXIV, #1256, 2013. Introduction: A wide range of evidence shows that the current distribution of ice on the surface is anomalous, and that the Amazonian period was characterized by a variety of non-polar ice-related […]

Published: Jan 1, 2013 Author(s): Fastook, James L., Hughes, Terry J. Abstract: Paleoglaciology deals with glaciation cycles of the Quaternary Ice Age. It combines the dynamics of present-day ice sheets deduced from glaciology with the history of former ice sheets deduced from glacial geology. Cosmogenic dating now makes a detailed chronology of a cycle possible. Radiocarbon dating has […]

Published: Jan 1, 2013 Author(s): Fastook, James L., Head, James W., Marchant, David R. Abstract: Lobate debris aprons (LDA) are lobate-shaped aprons surrounding scarps and isolated massifs that are concentrated in the vicinity of the northern Dichotomy Boundary on Mars. LDAs have been interpreted as (1) ice-cemented talus aprons undergoing viscous flow, (2) local debris-covered alpine-like glaciers, or (3) […]

Published: Jan 1, 2013 Author(s): Arabnia, Hamid R., Daimi, Kevin, Grimaila, Michael R., Liszka, Kathy, Markowsky, George,Solo, Ashu M.G. Abstract: The International Conference on Security and Management, or SAM, is an “annual comprehensive security conference dealing with all aspects of security. It is a leading international opportunity for computer and network security professionals and users to investigate innovative ideas and outcomes, […]
