Two active landslides at and near the retreating front of Barry Glacier at the head of Barry Arm Fjord in southern Alaska could generate tsunamis if they failed rapidly and entered the water of the fjord. Landslide A, at the front of the glacier, is the largest, with a total volume estimated at 455 M m3. Historical photographs from Barry Arm indicate that Landslide A initiated in the mid twentieth century, but there was a large pulse of movement between 2010 and 2017 when Barry Glacier thinned and retreated from about 1/2 of the toe of Landslide A. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) investigations of the area between May and November, 2020, revealed a second, smaller landslide (referred to as Landslide B) on the south-facing slope about 2 km up the glacier from Landslide A. Landslide-generated tsunami modeling in 2020 used a worst-case scenario where the entire mass of Landslide A (about 455 M m3) would rapidly enter the water. The use of multiple landslide volume scenarios in future tsunami modeling efforts would be beneficial in evaluating tsunami risk to communities in the Prince William Sound region. Herein, we present a map of landslide structures and kinematic elements within, and adjacent to, Landslides A and B. This map could form at least a partial basis for discriminating multiple volume scenarios (for example, a separate scenario for each kinematic element). We mapped landslide structures and kinematic elements at scale of 1:1000 using high-resolution lidar data acquired by the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) on June 26, 2020 and high resolution bathymetric data acquired by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in August, 2020. The predominate structures in both landslides are uphill- and downhill-facing normal fault scarps. Uphill-facing scarps dominate in areas where downslope extension from sliding has been relatively low. Downhill-facing scarps dominate in areas where downlslope extension from sliding has been relatively high. Strike-slip and oblique-slip faults form the boundaries of major kinematic elements. Four major kinematic elements, herein named the Kite, the Prow, the Core, and the Tail, are within, or adjacent to Landslide A. One major kinematic element, herein named the Wedge, forms Landslide B. Kinematic element boundaries are a result of cumulative, differential patterns and amounts of movement that began at inception of the landslides. Elements and/or their boundaries may change location as the landslides continue to evolve. Kinematic elements mapped in 2020 may or may not reflect patterns of historical short-term, episodic movement, or patterns of movement in the future. We were not able to field check our mapping in 2020 because of travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope to field check the mapping in the summer of 2021. In this data release, we include GIS files for the structural and kinematic map; metadata files for mapped structural features; and portable document files (PDFs) of a location map, and the structural and kinematic map at a scale of 1:5000. Lidar and bathymetric data used to map landslide structures will be released by DGGS and NOAA in 2021.

FlowMapper.org is a web-based framework for automated production and design of origin-destination flow maps. FlowMapper has four major features that contribute to the advancement of existing flow mapping systems. First, users can upload and process their own data to design and share customized flow maps. The ability to save data, cartographic design and map elements in a project file allows users to easily share their data and/or cartographic design with others. Second, users can generate customized flow symbols to support different flow map reading tasks such as comparing flow magnitudes and directions and identifying flow and location clusters that are strongly connected with each other. Third, FlowMapper supports supplementary layers such as node symbols, choropleth, and base maps to contextualize flow patterns with location references and characteristics. Finally, the web-based architecture of FlowMapper supports server-side computational capabilities to process and normalize large flow data and reveal natural patterns of flows.

When measuring chemical information in biological fluids, challenges of cross-reactivity arise, especially in sensing applications where no biological recognition elements exist. An understanding of the cross-reactions involved in these complex matrices is necessary to guide the design of appropriate sensing systems. This work presents a methodology for investigating cross-reactions in complex fluids. First, a systematic screening of matrix components is demonstrated in buffer-based solutions. Second, to account for the effect of the simultaneous presence of these species in complex samples, the responses of buffer-based simulated mixtures of these species were characterized using an arrayed sensing system. We demonstrate that the sensor array, consisting of electrochemical sensors with varying input parameters, generated differential responses that provide synergistic information of sample. By mapping the sensing array response onto multidimensional heat maps, characteristic signatures were compared across sensors in the array and across different matrices. Lastly, the arrayed sensing system was applied to complex biological samples to discern and match characteristic signatures between the simulated mixtures and the complex sample responses. As an example, this methodology was applied to screen interfering species relevant to the application of schizophrenia management. Specifically, blood serum measurement of antipsychotic clozapine and antioxidant species can provide useful information regarding therapeutic efficacy and psychiatric symptoms. This work proposes an investigational tool that can guide multi-analyte sensor design, chemometric modeling and biomarker discovery.

The knowledge of the geology of our territory and the processes that determine its evolution is a factor of great importance, always recognised as a priority by the Administration of the Autonomous Province of Trento. The geological map is made by combining different information. The structural element level is part of this information and is used to indicate the different types of traces of axial surfaces of the plicative structures.
The "Basic Geological Map of Sardinia on a scale of 1:25,000" project aimed at creating a homogeneous geological map covering the whole island, suitable for the planning objectives of the Regional Landscape Plan (PPR) and compliant with the indications of the Geological Service of 'Italy. The geology was represented at 1:25,000, a compromise scale between the lack of homogeneity of the basic data and the need to have a single and homogeneous cartography for the entire island (58 Sheets at 1:50,000 scale, including 197 Sections at 1 :25,000).

Overview
3DHD CityScenes is the most comprehensive, large-scale high-definition (HD) map dataset to date, annotated in the three spatial dimensions of globally referenced, high-density LiDAR point clouds collected in urban domains. Our HD map covers 127 km of road sections of the inner city of Hamburg, Germany including 467 km of individual lanes. In total, our map comprises 266,762 individual items.
Our corresponding paper (published at ITSC 2022) is available here. Further, we have applied 3DHD CityScenes to map deviation detection here.
Moreover, we release code to facilitate the application of our dataset and the reproducibility of our research. Specifically, our 3DHD_DevKit comprises:
Python tools to read, generate, and visualize the dataset,
3DHDNet deep learning pipeline (training, inference, evaluation) for map deviation detection and 3D object detection.
The DevKit is available here:
https://github.com/volkswagen/3DHD_devkit.
The dataset and DevKit have been created by Christopher Plachetka as project lead during his PhD period at Volkswagen Group, Germany.
When using our dataset, you are welcome to cite:

The European large-scale project Hi-Drive (www.Hi-Drive.eu) supports the publication of 3DHD CityScenes and encourages the general publication of information and databases facilitating the development of automated driving technologies.
The Dataset
After downloading, the 3DHD_CityScenes folder provides five subdirectories, which are explained briefly in the following.
This directory contains the training, validation, and test set definition (train.json, val.json, test.json) used in our publications. Respective files contain samples that define a geolocation and the orientation of the ego vehicle in global coordinates on the map.
During dataset generation (done by our DevKit), samples are used to take crops from the larger point cloud. Also, map elements in reach of a sample are collected. Both modalities can then be used, e.g., as input to a neural network such as our 3DHDNet.
To read any JSON-encoded data provided by 3DHD CityScenes in Python, you can use the following code snipped as an example.
import json
json_path = r"E:\3DHD_CityScenes\Dataset\train.json" with open(json_path) as jf: data = json.load(jf) print(data)
Map items are stored as lists of items in JSON format. In particular, we provide:
traffic signs,
traffic lights,
pole-like objects,
construction site locations,
construction site obstacles (point-like such as cones, and line-like such as fences),
line-shaped markings (solid, dashed, etc.),
polygon-shaped markings (arrows, stop lines, symbols, etc.),
lanes (ordinary and temporary),
relations between elements (only for construction sites, e.g., sign to lane association).
Our high-density point cloud used as basis for annotating the HD map is split in 648 tiles. This directory contains the geolocation for each tile as polygon on the map. You can view the respective tile definition using QGIS. Alternatively, we also provide respective polygons as lists of UTM coordinates in JSON.
Files with the ending .dbf, .prj, .qpj, .shp, and .shx belong to the tile definition as “shape file” (commonly used in geodesy) that can be viewed using QGIS. The JSON file contains the same information provided in a different format used in our Python API.
The high-density point cloud tiles are provided in global UTM32N coordinates and are encoded in a proprietary binary format. The first 4 bytes (integer) encode the number of points contained in that file. Subsequently, all point cloud values are provided as arrays. First all x-values, then all y-values, and so on. Specifically, the arrays are encoded as follows.
x-coordinates: 4 byte integer
y-coordinates: 4 byte integer
z-coordinates: 4 byte integer
intensity of reflected beams: 2 byte unsigned integer
ground classification flag: 1 byte unsigned integer
After reading, respective values have to be unnormalized. As an example, you can use the following code snipped to read the point cloud data. For visualization, you can use the pptk package, for instance.
import numpy as np import pptk
file_path = r"E:\3DHD_CityScenes\HD_PointCloud_Tiles\HH_001.bin" pc_dict = {} key_list = ['x', 'y', 'z', 'intensity', 'is_ground'] type_list = ['

The quantitative estimation of elemental concentrations at the spatial resolution of hyperspectral near-infrared (NIR) images of the lunar surface is an important tool for understanding the processes relevant for the origin and evolution of the Moon. The NIR reflectance of the lunar regolith is an integrated response to the presence of refractory elements and soil alteration processes. Our approach was to define a combination of spectral parameters that are robust with respect to the effects of soil maturity. We calibrated the spectral parameters with respect to elemental abundances measured by the Lunar Prospector Gamma Ray Spectrometer (LP GRS) and the Kaguya GRS (KGRS). For this purpose, we compared a classical multivariate linear regression (MLR) approach and the machine learning based support vector regression (SVR) technique applied to M3 global observations. The M 3 -based global elemental maps are consistent in distribution and range with the LP GRS and KGRS elemental maps and do not show artifacts in immature areas such as small fresh craters. The results derived using MLR and SVR are compared to sample-based ground truth data of the Apollo and Luna sample-return sites, where the root-mean-square deviations obtained by the two regression models are similar. The main advantage of the proposed new algorithm is its ability to minimize artifacts due to space-weathering effects. The elemental maps of Mg and Ca provide additional information and reveal structures not always visible in the Fe map. The global elemental abundance maps derived for the fully calibrated M 3 observations might thus serve as important tools to investigate the lunar geology and evolution.

A series of element maps collected using the Maia 384 detector array on the XFM beamline at the Australian Synchrotron. Maps are RGB composites (indicated by file name) or a combination of black and white intensity with RGB. Lower resolution versions of these files are used in a paper on the application of microanalysis techniques in ore geology and are made available here to allow the full resolution images (1:1 binning of pixels) to be accessed. Lineage: X-ray spectra were collected using the Maia 384 detector on the XFM beamline at the Australian Synchrotron. The spectral data were collected with an incident beam energy of 18.5 keV, a pixel size of 4 µm and dwell times per pixel of 0.97 msec. The Maia XFM full spectral data were analysed using the GeoPIXE software suite which uses a fundamental parameters approach, with spectral deconvolution and imaging using the Dynamic Analysis method based on fitting a representative total spectrum, and a detailed model of Maia detector array efficiency. Spectra are fitted using a X-ray line relative intensities that reflect integration of yields and X-ray self-absorption effects for the given matrix or mineral phase and the contrasting efficiency characteristics across the detector array. The result is a matrix transformation that allows projection of the full-spectral data into element maps in this collection.

Standard 1: People use geographic representations and geospatial technologies to acquire, process and report information within a spatial context. Objectives: Students will be able to:
The geographic data are built from the Technical Information Management System (TIMS). TIMS consists of two separate databases: an attribute database and a spatial database. The attribute information for offshore activities is stored in the TIMS database. The spatial database is a combination of the ARC/INFO and FINDER databases and contains all the coordinates and topology information for geographic features. The attribute and spatial databases are interconnected through the use of common data elements in both databases, thereby creating the spatial datasets. The data in the mapping files are made up of straight-line segments. If an arc existed in the original data, it has been replaced with a series of straight lines that approximate the arc. The Gulf of America OCS Region stores all its mapping data in longitude and latitude format. All coordinates are in NAD 27. Data can be obtained in three types of digital formats: INTERACTIVE MAP: The ArcGIS web maps are an interactive display of geographic information, containing a basemap, a set of data layers (many of which include interactive pop-up windows with information about the data), an extent, navigation tools to pan and zoom, and additional tools for geospatial analysis. SHP: A Shapefile is a digital vector (non-topological) storage format for storing geometric location and associated attribute information. Shapefiles can support point, line, and area features with attributes held in a dBASE format file. GEODATABASE: An ArcGIS geodatabase is a collection of geographic datasets of various types held in a common file system folder, a Microsoft Access database, or a multiuser relational DBMS (such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Informix, or IBM DB2). The geodatabase is the native data structure for ArcGIS and is the primary data format used for editing and data management.
Concept Map resource is a statement of relationships from one set of concepts to one or more other concepts - either concepts in code systems, or data element/data element concepts, or classes in class models.
