- Mine Eyes
Todd M. Ruff , Thomas P. Holden
Imagine driving a three-story house while using only a few small windows, and you will have an idea of what it is like driving many of the dump trucks currently used in surface mining. A system combining GPS receivers, rugged computers, and wireless communications tells equipment operators the location of nearby equipment and obstacles, and warns them when they get too close. - What Do Consumers Really Think?
Clement Driscoll
Ever since cellular phones and GPS receiver technology attained mass-market affordability in the mid 1990's, industry analysts and entrepreneurs have viewed location-based services (LBS) as a multi-billion dollar market waiting just around the corner. - SAASM and Direct P(Y) Signal Acquisition
Steve Callaghan , Hugo Fruehauf
Extensive field experience and technology advances have combined to bring new levels of sophistication to use of the GPS Precise Positioning Service (PPS). The Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM), a new GPS receiver design currently being incorporated into military and agency user equipment, promises a more robust operational capability as a result of advances in cryptography, "keying" techniques, and direct signal acquisition of the P(Y) code.

How can such a wet planet be so short on clean fresh water? The latest installment in the “Challenges for Humanity” series plumbs the problem. - Down the Drain?
John G. Mitchell
The Great Lakes hold a fifth of Earth’s surface fresh water, and they’ve shrunk dramatically. If it keeps up, shipping and fisheries could be left high and dry. - Crucible of the Gods
Erla Zwingle
Once upon a time in Turkey and Georgia, blood sacrifice to the gods really mattered. People still live that way along this isolated stretch of Black Sea coast.

Carl J. Legleiter, W. Andrew Marcus, and Rick L. Lawrence
Supervised classifications of hyperspectral and simulated multispectral imagery provided insight into desirable spatial, spectral, and radiometric resolutions for remote mapping of in-stream features such as riffles, glides, and pools. - Monitoring Wetland Ditch Water Levels Using Landsat TM and Ground-Based Measurements
D.H.A. Al-Khudhairy, C. Leemhuis, V. Hoffmann, I.M. Shepherd, R. Calaon, J.R. Thompson, H. Gavin, D.L. Gasca-Tucker, G. Zalidis, G. Bilas, and D. Papadimos
Satellite imagery has much to offer in providing a historical perspective of wetland hydrology that otherwise would not be available, in monitoring changes in the hydrological regime of wetlands, and in providing complimentary approaches to field monitoring. - Photogrammetric Retrieval of Cloud Advection and Top Height from the Multi-Angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR)
Jia Zong, Roger Davies, Jan-Peter Muller, and David S. Diner
