International training in remote sensing International training in remote sensing
The training and assistance programme at the Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota (United States of America), is designed to provide for the transfer of remote-sensing technology to land managers and resource specialists, both domestic and foreign. The programme does not emphasize research and development (i.e., sensor development, feasibility...

Topographic control and accumulation rate of some Holocene coral reefs: south Florida and Dry Tortugas Topographic control and accumulation rate of some Holocene coral reefs: south Florida and Dry Tortugas
Core drilling and examination of underwater excavation on 6 reef sites in south Florida and Dry Tortugas revealed that underlying topography is the major factor controlling reef morphology. Carbon-14 dating on coral recovered from cores enables calculation of accumulation rates. Accumulation rates were found to range from 0.38 m/1000 years in thin Holocene reefs to as much as 4.85 m/1000...

Topography, structure, and mare ridges in southern Mare Imbrium and northern Oceanus Procellarum Topography, structure, and mare ridges in southern Mare Imbrium and northern Oceanus Procellarum
The gross topography in southern Mare Imbrium and northern Oceanus Procellarum correlates with the buried structure and deposits of the Imbrium Basin and its rim, and many of the mare slopes may be depositional and reflect the pre-existing major features of the basin. Post-depositional, local distortion of the mare surface, however, is present and in many places associated with mare...

Landsat data availability from the EROS Data Center and status of future plans Landsat data availability from the EROS Data Center and status of future plans
The Department of Interior's EROS Data Center, managed by the U.S. Geological Survey, was established in 1972, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to serve as a principal dissemination facility for Landsat and other remotely Sensed data. Through the middle of 1977, the Center has supplied approximately 1.7 million copies of images from the more than 5 million images of the Earth's surface...

Recent and relict topography of Boo Bee patch reef, Belize Recent and relict topography of Boo Bee patch reef, Belize
Five core borings were taken on and around Boo Bee Patch Reef to better understand the origin of such shelf lagoon reefs. The cores reveal 4 stages of development: (1) subaerial exposure of a Pleistocene "high" having about 8 meters of relief, possibly a Pleistocene patch reef; (2) deposition of peat and impermeable terrigenous clay 3 meters thick around the high; (3) initiation of...
