Landslide Science for a Safer Geoenvironment
This volume contains peer-reviewed papers from the Third World Landslide Forum organized by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) in June 2014. The complete collection of papers from the Forum is published in three full-color volumes and one mono-color volume.
Landslide Science and Practice
This book contains peer-reviewed papers from the Second World Landslide Forum, organised by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL), that took place in September 2011. The entire material from the conference has been split into seven volumes, this one is the second: 1. Landslide Inventory and Susceptibility and Hazard Zoning, 2. Early Warning, Instrumentation and Monitoring, 3. Spatial Analysis and Modelling, 4. Global Environmental Change, 5. Complex Environment, 6. Risk Assessment, Management and Mitigation, 7. Social and Economic Impact and Policies.
The Ancient Nasca World
This book presents outstanding chapter contributions on the Nasca culture in a variety of artistic expressions such as architecture, geoglyphs, ceramics, music, and textiles. The approach, based on the integration of science with archaeology and anthropology, sheds new light on the Nasca civilization. In particular the multidisciplinary character of the contributions and earth observation technologies provide new information on geoglyphs, the monumental ceremonial architecture of Cahuachi, and the adaptation strategies in the Nasca desert by means of sophisticated and effective aqueduct systems. Finally, archaeological looting and vandalism are covered. This book will be of interest to students, archaeologists, historians, scholars of Andean civilizations, scientists in physical anthropology, remote sensing, geophysics, and cultural heritage management.
Endangered Heritage Sites
This book provides a thorough exploration of how heritage representation has evolved in the digital age, highlighting connections between diverse informed solutions for preserving and interpreting heritage knowledge. It provides a holistic overview of advanced surveying and visualization tools essential for decoding and analyzing cultural heritage data. Techniques such as remote sensing, heritage building information modeling (HBIM), knowledge graphs, and game-based learning can unveil the complex layers inherent in endangered heritage sites. Beyond these tools, the book examines policy perspectives that require critical review and collective efforts. A key focus of the contributions is the ...
Engineering Geology for Society and Territory - Volume 8
This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the preservation of cultural heritage. In 1972, the World Heritage Convention linked in a single framework the concepts of nature conservation and the preservation of cultural sites. Since then, engineering geology is enlarging its contributions to national and international projects on this topic and is extending its interests to key issues like: safeguarding of monuments and sites from geotechnical perspectives; advanced monitoring; investigations on cultural landscapes; development of geo-databases for cultural heritage classification; studies on the interactions between humankind, natural landscape evolution and cultural...

El arte del siglo de las luces
El siglo XVIII, con un cambio dinástico en España que derivó en una larga guerra internacional, fraguó el mundo contemporáneo en nuestro país y propició un cambio de mentalidad cultural, la Ilustración, que secularizó la sociedad. El mundo del arte acusó este profundo cambio, con la figura de Goya y de grandes maestros franceses, italianos y alemanes como Houasse, Giordano, Tiépolo o Mengs, mediante la creación de instituciones como la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, y con la presencia de sobresalientes artistas españoles de la talla de Meléndez, Paret o Maella.
Remote Sensing and Geosciences for Archaeology
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Remote Sensing and Geosciences for Archaeology" that was published in Geosciences
Earth Observation, Remote Sensing and Geoscientific Ground Investigations for Archaeological and Heritage Research
This book collects 15 papers written by renowned scholars from across the globe that showcase the forefront research in Earth observation (EO), remote sensing (RS), and geoscientific ground investigations to study archaeological records and cultural heritage. Archaeologists, anthropologists, geographers, remote sensing, and archaeometry experts share their methodologies relying on a wealth of techniques and data including, but not limited to: very high resolution satellite images from optical and radar space-borne sensors, air-borne surveys, geographic information systems (GIS), archaeological fieldwork, and historical maps. A couple of the contributions highlight the value of noninvasive an...
