Exploring the connection between landscape art and interior and exterior space design using gray correlation analysis by Han Shijiao, Zhao Rui

“…In this paper, we investigate the application of landscape art in indoor and outdoor space design, including the Use of landscape gardening techniques and landscape formation types. The study constructed an evaluation index system, including 16 indicators for road landscape, site landscape, green landscape and other types of landscapes, which were screened and weighted according to systematicity, operability, participation, dynamism and the combination of qualitative and quantitative indicators. …”

Place naming in Aceh: The genesis and generic patterns of toponyms in Banda Aceh and Greater Aceh by Zulfadli A. Aziz, Cut Dewi, Zahria Amalina

“…As names of villages in Aceh suggest, it indicates that many indigenous place names in the province seem to be redundant and possibly rooted from landscape formations. This study investigates the role of geographical and environmental as well as migration possibilities on their toponymy by using the descriptive method. …”

Sediment redistribution beneath the terminus of an advancing glacier, Taku Glacier (T'aakú Kwáan Sít'i), Alaska by Jenna M. Zechmann, Martin Truffer, Roman J. Motyka, Jason M. Amundson, Chris F. Larsen

“…We use a variety of methods to study subglacial and proglacial sediment redistribution on decadal, seasonal, and daily timescales to gain insight into sub- and proglacial landscape formation. Both excavation and deposition were observed from 2003 to 2015 (2.8 ± 0.9 m a−1 to +2.9 ± 0.9 m a−1). …”

Deposição de serrapilheira em Capões de Mata associados a turfeiras na Serra do Espinhaço Meridional - Parque Estadual do Rio Preto, MG. e2321063 by Thamyres Sabrina Gonçalves, Carlos Victor Mendonça Filho, Alexandre Christófaro Silva

“…Understanding the evolutionary dynamics of forest islands in the landscape can inform conservation strategies for peatland ecosystems in tropical mountains and specify how different elements interact in landscape formation. We studied a peatland ecosystem at the headwaters of the Preto River, on a plateau surface known as Chapadão do Couto, in the Rio Preto State Park (São Gonçalo do Rio Preto, MG) at an altitude of 1,600 m. …”

Coustenis

“…These infrared albedo maps, further corrected from the photometry, enable us to study the Selk crater region in terms of surface composition, landscape formation, and evolution. Our results suggest that the Selk crater is in an intermediate state of degradation and that the mountainous terrains of the area (including the crater rim and ejecta) are likely to be dominated by fine grains of tholin-like sediment. …”
