As major conduits for both water and sediment, rivers are responsible for shaping much of Earth's surface. The river morphology we observe today is result of complex interaction between geology, tectonics, climate, and erosion over time, an evolution that is recorded in sediment…

The spatial and temporal coverage of geodetic data sets such as Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Global Positioning System (GPS) is increasing to the point where we can constrain many aspects of the deformation associated with earthquakes and volcanic eruptio…
This doctoral dissertation constitutes an integrated geophysical investigation of the lithospheric structure in the region of Libya. It is separated into three sections, each of which will be submitted to different scientific journals for publication. In the first part of the st…
The Dubai cadastral system was developed in late 1950's and early 1960's, primarily for land evaluation and construction purposes. The system provides a record of all transactions and developments, and consists of property maps and related records of owners, together with site p…
Seismic attributes can be used in seismic interpretation. As seismic data quality improves, interpretation of seismic attributes becomes more reliable. Seismic attributes reveal information that often cannot be detected in conventional seismic displays. The attributes can be use…
The goal of this interdisciplinary research is to design a mapping satellite system (to be named SULTAN) for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and its neighboring regions and to prove its mapping feasibility by a simulation study. SULTAN will be equipped with state-of-the-art im…
This report covers the investigation made to establish a service of differential positioning GPS which provides cover to The Valencian Community to cartographic users. For this aim, primary the referential frame in which we could use a service of this characteristics is analysed…
This study explores the motifs of place, landscape, earth (territory), and nationality in Israeli art from the 1920s to the 1970s, when the approach to these topics underwent a paradigm crisis with the emergence of Environmental and Earth Art. These motifs are reexamined in the …
Observation of land surface motions plays a critical role in the study of a wide range of geophysical phenomena. The Global Positioning System (GPS), designed by the US Department of Defense for military and civilian navigation and positioning, has been used to measure crustal m…
This dissertation presents a global strain rate model in which the style, direction and magnitude of crustal strain rates are determined jointly with a model surface velocity field as well. The model includes 2933 geodetic velocities from 50 different studies. Some Quaternary fa…
Syn-tectonic extension is a process that has been observed by previous workers in the eastern Central Range of Taiwan, using geodetic, geologic and seismic data. The details of the location, direction and magnitude of the extension, as well as the mechanism by which extension oc…
Son zamanlarda tüketim konusu özellikle aşırı tüketim tüm ülkelerin gündeminde olan önemli bir konudur. Şöyle ki artık ülkeler bazında her sene "limit aşma günleri" bile kutlanıyor. Ama tabi ki sadece toplu şekilde değil bireysel olarak da konuya yaklaşırsak herkesin özünde ne k…
Multiple geophysical and geological data across the West African Gulf of Guinea cul-de-sac were integrated from the Niger Delta/Douala basin to the Cotonou (Benin or Dahomey) basins. The assembled aeromagnetic, reflection-seismic, well-log, and gravity data, eliminate the large,…
Lithosphere in some regions undergoes slow, distributed deformation, contrary to the plate tectonic assumption that deformation is localized along narrow plate boundaries. The nature and magnitude of slow, distributed deformation can be studied using rigid-plate models as a tool…
Despite Venus showing no evidence of a global system of tectonic deformation, a variety of tectonic landforms across Venus suggests a complex and active geologic history that is not fully understood. One of the most ubiquitous tectonic landforms identified are linear to arcuate,…
Inadequate funding, the shifting baseline syndrome phenomena, and the prescribe and protect approach to conservation collectively hinders ecosystem function. Rewilding offers an alternative solution without the same limitations. While it is documented that large-scale rewilding …
Humankind has entered another lithic epoch. Concrete is the modern stone. Since taking its contemporary form nearly two centuries ago, over five hundred billion tons of the gray matter have been deposited on the earth’s crust. If this amount of concrete was used to build a sidew…
Dipolarization fronts (DFs) are transient phenomena in the magnetotail with various types of waves observed in their vicinity. The potential effect of these fluctuations on particle distributions and energy conversion near DFs is poorly understood. In this study, we aim to deter…
