1 Quantifying rapid changes in coastal topography using modern mapping techniques and GIS (2008)

Helena Mitasova, Thomas G. Drake, David Bernstein, Russell S. Harmon

Innovative methodology based on a combination of Real Time Kinematic GPS (RTK-GPS), lidar, and open source GIS was developed to gain a better understanding of rapid changes in coastal topography....

Chapter 11 MULTISCALE SOIL EROSION SIMULATIONS FOR LAND USE MANAGEMENT (2008)

Helena Mitasova, Lubos Mitas

Increasing pressures on the land and an improved understanding of human impacts on the environment are leading to profound changes in land management, with emphasis on integration of local actions...

Research Article Multivariate Interpolation of Precipitation Using Regularized Spline with Tension (2008)

Jaroslav Hofierka, Juraj Parajka, Helena Mitasova, Lubos Mitas

Regularized Spline with Tension (RST) is an accurate, flexible and efficient method for multivariate interpolation of scattered data. This study evaluates its capabilities to interpolate daily and...

Spatio-temporal monitoring of evolving topography using LIDAR, Real Time Kinematic GPS and sonar data (2002)

Helena Mitasova, Thomas Drake, Russell Harmon, Jaroslav Hofierka, Jessie Mcninch

Sustainable management of highly dynamic coastal topography with fast moving sand dunes, eroding shoreline and anthropogenic changes to bathymetry and beaches represent significant challenges for...

Interacting Fields Approach for Evolving Spatial Phenomena: Application to Erosion Simulation for Optimized Land Use (1998)

Mitas, Lubos, Mitasova, Helena, Brown, William M., Astley, Mark

We propose a computational framework and strategies for performing tasks necessary for evaluation and optimization of land use management within and advanced GIS modeling environment. Such tasks...

Multidimensional dynamic cartography. Kartografick listy 2 (1994)

Helena Mitasova, William M. Brown, Jaroslav Hofierka

Abstract: New approach to cartographic modeling based on integration of scientific visualization and computer cartography is presented. This approach moves cartography from 2D static maps to...

Interpolation by Regularized Spline with Tension: I. Theory and Implementation (1993)

Helena Mitasova, Lubos Mitas, I. Theory

Bivariate and trivariate functions for interpolation from scattered data are derived. They are constructed by explicit minimization of a general smoothness functional, and they include a tension...
