The Sangre de Cristo Land Grant in the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico consists of 1,000,000 acres (4,000 km2) of mostly arid land. It was awarded by the government of New Mexico to the Beaubien family in 1843. The land grant was originally settled by Hispanics from New Mexico. Since the incorporation of the area of the grant into the United States in 1848, legal disputes between the descendants of the Hispanic settlers and Anglo ranchers about ownership of and access to some of the land in the grant area have been frequent and continued into the 21st century.

Spatial Analysis to Mapping Homogeneous Units for Environmental Planning. Study Case Conservation Land Area, Mexico City, Mexico. In Mexico City, the territorial unit known as "conservation land" is of vital importance for the city since it provides essential environmental services for the quality of life of its inhabitants. In recent decades, the growth of the urban sprawl of Mexico City and its suburban area, as well as the advance and expansion of the agricultural frontier, have become the main threats to the proper functioning of the natural system, and therefore affect the environmental services they provide to the city. To provide elements for the territorial planning process, a proje…

Metropolitan areas of Mexico have been defined as the group of municipalities that heavily interact with each other, usually around a core city, in Mexico. The phenomenon of metropolization in Mexico is relatively recent, starting in the 1940s. Because of an accelerated level of urbanization in the country, the definition of a metropolitan area (in Mexican Spanish: zona metropolitana) is reviewed periodically by the Mexican population and census authorities.

Assessment of land subsidence and future flood hazards for coastal cities of the Gulf of Mexico using time series InSAR.. Sea level rise poses a significant natural hazard to coastal cities, with profound socio-economic and environmental impacts. This study analyzes new measurements of ongoing subsidence in Houston, New Orleans, and Tampa using Sentinel-1A SAR data (2019-2024) and evaluates its impact on future flooding risks. While the overall surface in these cities remains relatively stable, this study has identified multiple previously unrecognized land deformation zones. InSAR time-series deformation rates in the line-of-sight (LOS) direction range from - 42 to 10 mm/year in Houston, -…
