  • Ancient Amazonian Earthwork Roads

    Open AccessRisto Kalliola, Martti H Pärssinen et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2026

    By using satellite images, this study confirms 350 km of ancient roads, comprising 634 wide and 321 narrow roads, in southwestern Amazonia’s earthwork-rich landscape. The roads were straight, mostly under 500 m long, but with some extending several kilometers. They occurred most prevalently in areas of dense earthwork. Nested earthworks were more road-rich than simple ones, and roads were more common in structures with quadrilateral rather than r…

  • Self-assessment in student’s learning and developing teaching in geoinformatics – case of Geoportti self-assessment tool

    Open AccessNora Fagerholm, Eliisa Lotsari et al.ARTICLEJournal of Geography in Higher…2023References: 1

    In successful geoinformatics education, students’ active role in the learning process, e.g. through applying self-assessment, show an increasing interest but the evidence of benefits and challenges of self-assessment are sporadic. In this article, we examine the usefulness of an online self-assessment tool developed for geoinformatics education. We gathered data in two Finnish universities on five courses (n = 11–73 students/course) between 2019 …

  • Bamboo, climate change and forest use

    Open AccessEvandro Ferreira, Evandro José Linhares Ferreira et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020Cited by: 2References: 73

    About 160 000 km 2 of forests in the border zone between Brazil and Peru are dominated by semi-scandent bamboos ( Guadua spp.). We argue that both predicted decreased precipitation during the dry season and widespread anthropogenic disturbances will significantly increase the distribution and biomass of bamboos in the area. Seasonal dryness favours the growth of evergreen bamboos in relation to trees that shed their leaves during the dry season. …

  • Open access to information bridges science and development in Amazonia

    Open AccessRisto Kalliola, Tuuli Toivonen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2008

    Access to and availability of accurate information has often been stated to play an important role in sustainable environmental management. There is a growing trend of setting up internet-based information services to support the availability of relevant information. The current initiatives that aim to facilitate such information sharing through the web are still, however, often premature and unable to ensure constant flow of data from producers …

  • Systematic Assessment of Maps as Source Information in Landscape-change Research

    Niina Vuorela, Petteri Alho et al.ARTICLELandscape Research2002Cited by: 10References: 21

    A methodology is proposed for systematic map assessment to contribute to landscape-change research. Two major topic areas are dealt with, namely: content, quality and usefulness of landscape information on different maps; and methods used in the spatial conversion of maps into digital systems (e.g. geographical information systems). The major focus is on information about physical landscape characteristics (e.g. land cover) and land uses. The app…

  • Visualization and Communication in Map-Making

    Sanna Mäki, Risto KalliolaARTICLECartographica The International…2000

    Producing good-quality landscape maps of remote areas such as tropical rainforests is difficult because such areas are environmentally complex and not easily accessible. Existing thematic maps commonly appear far more finished than is warranted by the mapping and research effort that lies behind them, and they do not provide the map user the opportunity to properly evaluate the product. Here we examine the production of an experimental map based …
