One of the localities on this line is the Shahbazan railway station. Shahbazan station is located in the Alwar section of the central Zagros belt in the southwest of Iran. Complex geological-geomorphological activities have created an immature and rugged landscape which in turn imposes various natural hazards (landslide, erosion and flash flooding) to both people and the railway infra-strucutre. In order to address these problems on a regional scale, a digital elevation model (DEM) was used in conjunction with selected field visits during which various parameters related to lithology (dip, strike and rock types), structures (joints, fracturres, faults and folds), soil types, landuse and land cover were obsereved and measured. For the creation of a DEM, a digital topographic map prepared by the Iranian Surveying Organization was used. The DEM was computed using x, y, z attributes in text format. The methodology includes an interactive visual calibration that adjusts parameters while referring to observed landslides. Based on field data collected, the DEM was calibrated to generate stability zone map and saturation zone map of the study area which address to natural hazards like landslide. The analyses of drainage morphometery, relief and saturation maps reveals zones of stability-instability and saturation within the study area which are in harmony with landslide and rock fall zones. However, the study also indicates that the DEM provides a useful tool for rapid evaluation of natural hazards and mapping of large areas with less time and good results.","PeriodicalId":44129,"journal":{"name":"Geodesy and Cartography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89634910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Baines, the well known artist and explorer who died in Durban, South Africa, in 1875, made two trips to modern day Zimbabwe in search of gold bearing sites for the Natal Land and Colonisation Company. One of the large maps which he drew on this trip is the subject of study for this interdisciplinary team coordinated by Lindy Stiebel (Professor of English Studies, University of Durban-Westville). The other team members are Jane Carruthers (History, University of South Africa), Vivian Forbes (Chief Cartographer, University of Western Australia), Norman Etherington (Professor of History, University of Western Australia) and staff of the Campbell Collections, Durban, South Africa. The CD aims to make Baines's manuscript map of 1872, which is owned by the Campbell Collections, more accessible to scholars and the general public alike. The CD reproduces the map in digital form, plus accompanies the map with three essays that situate the map historically, cartographically and discursively. Four of Baines's paintings relevant to the Gold Fields expedition also appear on the CD. All legible place names on the map have been bookmarked for easy click-and- find access and the accompanying essays extensively hyperlinked. This paper discusses and assesses this pioneering project; plus points the way to other potential projects in which a similar ‘marriage’ of technology to the past can be implemented.","PeriodicalId":44129,"journal":{"name":"Geodesy and Cartography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87621152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In case members are not familiar wi th our established geomatics books, these include Close Range Photogrammetry and Machine Vision by K.B. Atkinson; Datums and Map Projections for Remote Sensing, GIS and Surveying by Dr. J.C. Iliffe; Digital Imaging by Ron Graham, and Small Format Aerial Photography by Warner, Graham and Read. For a historical slant on cartography there is Everest-the Man and the Mountain by J.R. Smith and the forthcoming Journey into Africa: The Life and Death o f Keith Johnston, Scottish Cartographer and Explorer (1844-79) by James McCarthy.

The establishment of the new body was announced in Canberra today and is the outcome of two years of discussion between the five major professional associations that previously covered the industry. The members of the Institution of Surveyors, Australia (ISA), the Institution of Engineering and Mining Surveyors, Australia (IEMSA), the Mapping Sciences Institute, Australia (MSIA), the Australasian Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (AURISA) and the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Association of Australasia (RSPAA) voted overwhelmingly to combine those institutions into one body. Interim Chairman o f the new Institute, Mr Graham Baker, said the existing institutions reflected the structure of the industry 20 years ago when the roles of surveyors, cartographers and photogrammetrists were quite distinct. But changing technology had blurred the boundaries between the professions. Young graduates frequently declined to join any of the institutions because none of them adequately addressed the field of activities in which they worked. \"We believe that the SSI will be better structured to provide for the cross-disciplinary professional development needs of its members,\" said Mr Baker.","PeriodicalId":44129,"journal":{"name":"Geodesy and Cartography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2003-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74307368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
