Poster: Tsenkher structure in the Gobi-Altai / https://www.geophotobank.com/Maps/wallmaps/pp_TSENKHER-STRUCTURE.pdf Comment: 1. Meteor craters - astroblems, located in Mongolia. Bright, unique objects have a characteristic set of morphological outlines and changes in rocks that arose as a result of a powerful explosion. According to the specialized catalog (Meteoritical Bulletin and the Meteoritical Bulletin Database, MIMO), more than 15 places where meteorite fragments of various sizes and compositions were found. Images of a well-read meteor crater formed at the border of the Triassic and Cretaceous (150 ± 20 million years ago) - Tabyn Khaara Obo, Eastern (Mongolian) Gobi, Gobi-Shamo. In the 2023 version, images have also been added for the ring structures of Mongolia: meteorite craters Tsenkher, structures Agit Khangay, Bayan Khuree, Khuree Mandal, Suuji-Nuur, Bayan Tsogto... For this category of natural facilities need further integrated research of geological and mineralogical features activities, as well as work on cataloging and presetting up field materials. As new information becomes available, the collection of images will be supplemented. 2. World Imagery (ESRI Inc.) provides one meter or better satellite and aerial imagery in many parts of the world and lower resolution satellite imagery worldwide. The map includes 15m TerraColor imagery at small and mid-scales and 2,5m SPOT Imagery for the world. In other parts of the world, 1 meter resolution imagery is available from GeoEye IKONOS, AeroGRID, and IGN Spain. Additionally, imagery at different resolutions has been contributed by the GIS User Community. When preparing the design of a series of unified images, a scale scale and a circular scale with divisions in degrees were used (MapTools Inc.). 3. World Imagery (Clarity) World Imagery provides one meter or better satellite and aerial imagery in many parts of the world and lower resolution satellite imagery worldwide. The map includes 15m TerraColor imagery at small and mid-scales (591M down to 72k) and 2.5m SPOT Imagery (288k to 72k) for the world, and USGS 15m Landsat imagery for Antarctica. The map features 0.3m resolution imagery in the continental United States and 0.6m resolution imagery in parts of Western Europe from Maxar. In other parts of the world, 1 meter resolution imagery is available from IGN Spain. Additionally, imagery at different resolutions has been contributed by the GIS User Community. When preparing the design of a series of unified images, a scale scale and a circular scale with divisions in degrees were used (MapTools Inc.). 4. Compiled from a variety of sources, including contributions from the GIS User Community, the World Hillshade (Dark) map provides a multi-directional terrain hillshade rendering of 24-meter elevation data globally and 10-meter or better in many parts of the world. Inspired by the legendary Swiss artist, Eduard Imhof, multi-directional hillshade maps present unparalleled views of the world’s mountains, plateaus, valleys and canyons by using an algorithm that computes light source from six different directions (as opposed to one direction in a default hillshade). The result is a stunning visualization in both high slope and expressionless areas. This Dark version of our World Hillshade is especially useful in building maps that provide terrain context while highlighting feature layers and labels. 5. Design versions when using methods of analytical shadow relief shading, in combination with different types of hypsometric scales. GIS application tools provide researchers with ample opportunities for their interpretation, visualization, creating a more realistic image of the landscape and maps.
