Comparison of Air Photo Landform Units to Statistically Defined Groups of Tors in Dartmoor, Southwest England
Author: Judy Ehlen
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aerial photography in geology
Languages : en
Pages : 46
Book Description
Landform mapping units delineated using manual photo analysis procedures on two air photo mosaics, one at a scale of 1:24,000 and the other at 1:50,000, were compared to groups of tors defined using multivariate statistical analysis of field and laboratory data. Correspondence between the results of the two procedures was quite good: (1) members of most tor groups occur in the same landform mapping unit; (2) most landform mapping units contain far greater proportions of one, or not more than two, tor groups; and (3) the tor types defined statistically as typical of a given landform mapping unit tend to agree with the actual distribution of tor types in that mapping unit. The landform mapping units can thus be defined in terms of statistically significant descriptors in addition to descriptors based on analysis of stereo air photos. Finally, the greater number of mapping units on the 1:50,000 scale photo mosaic combined with the fact that most of the landform units were associated with one, rather than two, tor groups and with the greater similarity between statistically defined tor types and the actual distribution, suggests that smaller scale photos may be more useful than larger scale photos in relating photo-derived landform patterns to groups of tors defined statistically using field and laboratory data.

Contemporary Meanings in Physical Geography
Author: Andre Roy
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134660030
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Over the past twenty years, geography as an academic discipline has become more and more reflective, asking the key questions 'What are we doing?' 'Why are we doing it?'. These questions have, so far, been more enthusiastically taken up by human geography rather than physical geography. Contemporary Meanings in Physical Geography aims to redress the balance. Written and edited by a distinguished group of physical geographers, Contemporary Meanings in Physical Geography comprises of a collection of international writer's thoughts which reveal personal motivations, and look at tensions in the worlds of meaning in which physical geography is involved. How are the meanings of the physical environment derived? Is the future of physical geography one where the only, or at least the dominant, meanings are framed in the contexts of environmental issues. Covering a diverse and lively selection of topics, the contributors of this book offer guides to the contemporary debates in the philosophy of physical geography, and introduce the reader to its wider cultural significance. This book is an essential companion to anyone studying, or with an interest in, physical geography.
