The geometric method for computing the geoid has been extensively used for a comparatively small region, which, in some points, interpolates geoid heights based on GNSS-derived heights and levelling heights. Several considerations should be considered when using the geometric method to increase the accuracy of a local geoid. Kuwait is used as a test area in this paper to investigate several features of the geometric method. The achievable precision is one of these aspects, the role of the interpolation method, global geopotential models, and the influence of the topographic effect. The accuracy of the local geoid can be substantially enhanced by integrating a geopotential model with a digital terrain model of the research region. It is possible to get a precision of 2–3 cm.

The use of gravity data to determine orthometric heights at the Hong Kong territories / Albertini Nsiah Ababio in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 16 n° 4 (October 2022)

The HKPD is practically realized by heights of levelling benchmarks. The HKPD heights are, however, neither normal nor orthometric. The reason is that heights of levelling benchmarks were determined from precise levelling measurements, but without involving gravity observations along levelling lines. To reduce systematic errors due to disregarding the gravity information along levelling lines, we used terrestrial and marine gravity data to interpolate gravity values at levelling benchmarks in order to compute and apply the orthometric correction to measured levelling height differences. Our results demonstrate the importance of incorporating the gravity information even for a relatively small region but characterized by a rough topography with heights of levelling benchmarks exceeding several hundreds of meters. According to our estimates, the orthometric correction reaches (and even slightly exceeds) ±2 cm, with maxima along levelling lines crossing mountain chains.

The change in glacial area and mass can affect the mountain community and people living in the Indo-Gangetic plain. The present study adopted the geodetic method to estimate the elevation change and mass budget of 61 glaciers in the Alaknanda Basin, using the satellite data of Cartosat-1 (2011, 2014, 2017) and SRTM (2000). Besides, the DEM of 1962 (SOI Toposheet) and 2000 (SRTM) is used to estimate the mass budget of Satopanth (SPG) and Bhagirath Kharak glaciers (BKG). The field debris thickness of SPG (2015-2017) is compared with the elevation change (2000-2017). Further, we have compared the mass loss of the glaciers with their volume. The results suggest the sustained mass loss of 1.85 ± 0.10 Gt out of 33.9 ± 8.8 Gt for 61 glaciers in the basin from 2000-2017. The mass loss of SPG and BKG during 2000-2017 is 0.20 ± 0.02 Gt and 0.24 ± 0.03 Gt, whereas from 1962 to 2000, is 0.083 ± 0.03 Gt and 0.091 ± 0.04 Gt, respectively. The analysis facilitates a better understanding of glacier mass changes in the Alaknanda basin on a multi-decadal scale.

Applied forest management could absorb or enhance such an impact. In this context, we developed a new protective value index (PVI) that includes biometric and topographical indicators of forest stands. Using PVI and the LandClim model, we simulated 100 years with low- and high-intensity cuttings within three climate scenarios to analyze their influence on the protective value of forests included in the soil protection category. The management types had a low impact on PVI during the simulation period. However, the effects of moderate climate intensified in the second half of the simulation period. In contrast, the extreme climate had the highest impact on PVI and its variables throughout the whole period. The forest stands from lower elevation reached a higher protective value than intermediate and high elevation. Although the low-elevation forest stands are the most vulnerable to climate changes, the ongoing adaptation conducts to stands with higher protective value than stable forests from the higher elevation. The PVI is easily adaptable for different forest landscape models and can be widely applied to provide an integrated assessment of the forest protective value and the management measures to maintain or enhance it Numéro de notice : A2022-489 Affiliation des auteurs : LIF+Ext (2020- ) Thématique : FORET Nature : Article nature-HAL : ArtAvecCL-RevueIntern DOI : 10.3390/f13060916 Date de publication en ligne : 12/06/2022 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.3390/f13060916 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=100964 [article]

Recent changes in the climate-growth response of European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) in the Polish Sudetes / Malgorzata Danek in Trees, vol 36 n° 2 (April 2022)  

Public [article]  inTrees > vol 36 n° 2 (April 2022) . - pp 803 - 817 Titre : Recent changes in the climate-growth response of European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) in the Polish Sudetes Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Malgorzata Danek, Auteur ; Tomasz Danek, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 803 - 817 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] altitude [Termes IGN] classification par forêts d'arbres décisionnels [Termes IGN] données dendrométriques [Termes IGN] Larix decidua [Termes IGN] modèle de croissance végétale [Termes IGN] Pologne [Termes IGN] stress hydrique [Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatique Résumé : (auteur) Larches in the Sudetes are very sensitive to the currently changing climatic factors, and an extreme negative response to drought is observed. In this study, temporal changes in the climate-growth relationship of European larch were analyzed using moving-window correlation. Change-point detection analysis was performed to determine whether there is a temporal connection between tree-ring growth responses and changes in climatic factors trends. The Random Forest predictor importance determination method was used to establish the set of climatic factors that influence larch tree-ring growth the most and to show how this set changes over time. Additionally, cluster analysis was applied to find spatial growth patterns and to generalize the growth response of larch. The results indicate that the main clustering factor is altitude. Nevertheless, an increasing unification of the larch’s response to dominant climatic factors is observable throughout the whole study area. This unification is expressed in the increasingly positive and recently dominant effect of May temperature. A progressively negative influence of the temperature in the summer and late autumn of the year preceding growth was observed, as was an increasing influence of water availability in the summer months. The study indicates that there is a connection between the observed changes and the recent rapid rise in temperature, which has consequently had a negative influence on water availability. The growth of this tree species in the Sudetes is expected to be very limited in the future due to its sensitivity to drought, the predicted increase in temperatures and thermal extremes, and the decrease of the share of summer precipitation in the annual total.
