“…They were scanned and subsequently georeferenced in Esri ArcMap 10.5.1. For the establishment of our new geomorphological maps at a 1 : 10 000 scale, a high-resolution digital terrain model (DTM) including its derivates was chosen for a GIS-based approach that offers the unique opportunity to remove and add layers on the fly (Wagner, 2018). Firstly, a shaded relief was created using the "hillshade" tool.…”

Abstract. The southern Black Forest was temporarily covered by a ∼1000 km2 large ice cap during the Late Pleistocene. However, during the last glaciation maximum in the Alps the atmospheric circulation over Europe was presumably characterised by the advection of humid air masses from the Mediterranean Sea. As a consequence, the ice cap of the Black Forest was likely in a leeward position due to its location north of the Alps. This raises the question of whether it reached its last maximum extent simultaneously with the glaciers in the Alps. As modern dating techniques have hitherto not been applied to the southern Black Forest, the timing of the last local glaciation maximum remains poorly constrained. As a first step towards an independent regional glacier chronology, we present a critical re-examination of glacial landforms in the area north-west of the highest summit of the Black Forest (Feldberg, 1493 m a.s.l.). It relies on both the analysis of remote sensing data and field mapping. The review of previous studies highlights important disagreements regarding the location of ice-marginal positions and their correlation. In addition, our findings challenge earlier studies on the glaciation of the Black Forest: some previously described ice-marginal positions could not be confirmed, whereas some of the newly identified moraines are described for the first time. This highlights the need for detailed geomorphological investigations prior to the application of geochronological methods. A multi-ridged series of terminal moraines in one of the studied valleys, Sankt Wilhelmer Tal, is proposed as the main target for future dating. Due to discrepancies with earlier studies, future efforts should reinvestigate other key areas related to the last glaciation of the southern Black Forest.

“…With the expansion of geospatial information technologies (GIT), these techniques have undergone enormous and rapid development and adoption. Geographic information systems (GIS) have become one of the most common frameworks for interpreting glacial environments (Napieralski, et al, 2007;Remondo and Oguchi, 2009;Lin et al, 2013;Pellitero et al, 2016;Wagner, 2018). GIS can be used to extract new geomorphic patterns and relationships from datasets (cf.…”

“…Therefore, this reveals that the competitive advantages stem from the IS solution and its utilization [44]. Indeed, on account of the functions above and the importance of ISs, there are so many studies showing the significance of ISs regarding a wide range of different disciplines such as health and medicine [37,31], transportation [7], energy [36], biology [27], education, environment [4], geography [42] and so many other ones. However, there are many studies about supplier selection in which different types of ISs play a significant role [35,2].…”

Information Systems (IS) have turned into vital means for companies to survive in the contemporary technology-oriented environment. Subsequently, over the last decades, this has brought about the heavy investment of companies in ISs to guarantee high-quality products and services. Similarly, supplier selection (SS) plays an inescapable role in today’s business. In addition, there are several studies published showing the importance of the ISs in the SS problem. However, there has not been any work evaluating the effectiveness of ISs on the SS problem, including a comprehensive and up-to date SS model. Therefore, this study proposed a complete model including six criteria that are almost most important and shared in the literature: sustainability, reliability, resiliency, greenness, risk and cost, and 31 sub-criteria. Then the effectiveness of 10 ISs on the SS problem has been shown through using BWM in two consecutive stages, and then the model conducted in Emdadkhodro automotive company to show its practicality and accuracy.
