Inland wetlands mapping and vulnerability assessment using an integrated geographic information system and remote sensing techniques
The understanding of inland wetlands’ distribution and their level of vulnerability is important to enhance management and conservation efforts. The aim of the study was to map inland wetlands and assess their distribution pattern and vulnerability to natural and human disturbances such as climate change (temperature increase) and human activities by the year 2080. Inland wetland types i.e. for...
متن کاملUsing Geographic Information Systems for Exposure Assessment in Environmental Epidemiology Studies
Geographic information systems (GIS) are being used with increasing frequency in environmental epidemiology studies. Reported applications include locating the study population by geocoding addresses (assigning mapping coordinates), using proximity analysis of contaminant source as a surrogate for exposure, and integrating environmental monitoring data into the analysis of the health outcomes. ...
متن کاملCombining exposure and effect modeling into an integrated probabilistic environmental risk assessment for nanoparticles.
There is a growing need for good environmental risk assessment of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs). Environmental risk assessment of ENPs has been hampered by lack of data and knowledge about ENPs, their environmental fate, and their toxicity. This leads to uncertainty in the risk assessment. To deal with uncertainty in the risk assessment effectively, probabilistic methods are advantageous. In ...
متن کاملCharacterizing Volunteered Geographic Information using Fuzzy Clustering
This paper demonstrates the use of fuzzy clustering to characterize Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). We argue that classifying small areas based on variables related to the amount, type, and currency of VGI can provide a more nuanced understanding of the content. We present a classification of 2011 UK Census Output Areas in Leicestershire (UK) based on content of OpenStreetMap, using a...
متن کاملDeveloping an Integrated Environmental Assessment Model for Waste Management System
The paradigm of waste management shifts toward more integrated management, hence a more integrated environment assessment method is emerging to support the strategy formulation. As a systematic and comprehensive environmental management tool, life cycle assessment (LCA) can serve as a keystone of integrated environmental assessment method. But three issues needs improvement: credibility on inve...
