Natural state modelling of a vapor dominated system : case study Darajat, Indonesia
For a mature geothermal field like Darajat, which has been operating for nearly 30 years, re-evaluating the natural state offers an opportunity to evaluate any significant differences revealed by current interpretations from expanded data sets with those presented in the early model. This study …

Land-cover change within the peatlands along the Rocky Mountain Front, Montana: 1937-2009
Aerial photographs of nine peatlands along the Rocky Mountain Front, Montana, were analyzed in a GIS. The boundary of wetland extent was hand-digitized and the area within was classified into land-cover types including: total area, open fen, open water, woody vegetation, and …
