Full-text available
Enclosed surficial karst dolines are geomorphologically diverse habitats with the potential to strongly shape community structure and the distribution of functional groups of organisms. Forest habitats in karst landscapes are characterized by lower soil temperatures and microclimatic fluctuations compared to open habitats; therefore, they may provi...

The systematic scientific research of the Domica Cave and its vicinity started at the end of 2017 and gained a series of new results. The locality was mapped using terrestrial laser scanning to obtain high-resolution cave geometry. Previously unknown cave passage was detected during systematic exploration of the cave system. Discovered place was na...

Karst dolines, as geomorphologically diverse natural landforms, usually exhibit more or less steep microclimatic gradients that provide a mosaic of diverse microhabitat conditions, resulting in a high diversity of soil biota with numerous rare endemic and/or relict species occupying these habitats. In this study, we investigated the spatial pattern...
Article
Active remote sensing by laser scanning (LiDAR) has markedly improved the mapping of a cave environment with an unprecedented level of accuracy and spatial detail. However, the use of laser intensity simultaneously recorded during the scanning of caves remains unexplored despite it having promising potential for lithological mapping as it has been...

Geography education requires a combination of knowledge, skills, and geospatial relational thinking. To improve the learning efciency and durability of knowledge, a new inquiry-based instruction system using tangible user interfaces has been devel�oped. The tangible landscape modeling system (TLMS) comprises four components including a malleable...
Article
The cave map, as a result of mapping in limited cave spaces, is a specific cartographic product characterized by a high degree of cartographic abstraction and subjectivity of the cave features. Over the last decade, remote sensing methods have been increasingly used in cave mapping. Specifically, the laser scanning technology can effectively record...

Abstract: The interest in new forms of visualization and interaction with geospatial data has grown in the last decade. While the display of virtual 3D models on screens lacks the sense of touch, integration of physical 3D models of the landscape and digital projection of geographical layers takes advantage of both visual and tactile perception. In...
Article
Full-text available
The use of solar radiation in the urban environment is becoming increasingly important for the sustainable development of cities and human societies. Several factors influence the distribution of solar radiation in urban areas, including urban morphology and the physical properties of urban materials. Most of these factors can be modeled with a rel...
Article

Ice caves can be considered an indicator of the long-term changes in the landscape. Ice volume is dynamic in the caves throughout the year, but the inter-seasonal comparison of ice dynamics might indicate change in the hydrological–climatic regime of the landscape. However, evaluating cave ice volume changes is a challenging task that requires cont...
Article
Full-text available
High-resolution solar radiation modelling requires the three-dimensional geometric structure of the landscape to be respected. Currently, remote sensing methods such as laser scanning and close-range photogrammetry are most commonly used for detailed mapping. The output is detailed 3D models containing buildings, trees, relief and other landscape f...
Article
Full-text available
Current climate changes on a global scale require an optimal estimate of heat transfer in a complex urban environment as a part of the requirements for optimal urban planning in the conditions of a smart city. Urban greenery has a considerable impact on the cooling of the urban environment during thermal waves. Sentinel-2 as an Earth observation mi...

Ice caves can be considered as an indicator of the long-term changes in the landscape. Dynamics in ice volume in the caves are common throughout the year, but the inter-seasonal comparison of ice dynamics indicates a change in the hydrological-climatic regime of the landscape. However, evaluating cave ice volume changes is a challenging task that r...

The Smart City concept requires new, fast methods for collection of 3-D data representing features of urban landscape. Laser scanning technology (LiDAR - Light Detection and Ranging) enables such approach producing dense 3-D point clouds of millions of points, which, however, contain noise. Therefore, we developed a new approach allowing for a semi...

The alpine landscape is rugged, dominated by glacial morphogenesis, comprising specific landforms of different sizes and shapes with a marked vertical relief and hierarchical-ordering of the forms. Digital geomorphometric analyses of such a land surface in a high level of detail can exploit mainly data acquired by airborne laser scanning or photogr...

Full-text available
Urban greenery has various positive micro-climate effects including mitigation of heat islands. The primary root of heat islands in cities is in absorption of solar radiation by the mass of building structures, roads and other solid materials. The absorbed heat is subsequently re-radiated into the surroundings and increases ambient temperatures. Th...
