متن کاملBrief communication “Does climatic change in precipitation drive erosion in Naxos Island, Greece?”
In this paper we examined whether the recorded precipitation changes cause erosion in Naxos Island, Greece using precipitation indices derived from daily precipitation totals, during the period 1955–2007, in order to develop an erosion risk model. Although the mean annual precipitation appear to be low (∼360.0 mm), the erosion processes of the area are very intense, because of the intensive cha...

Urbanization in Asia and the Pacific is proceeding at a scale and speed unprecedented in human history. It took...
متن کاملFlash Flooding Area Prediction by GOES-9 Satellite Data
In this study, a new geocomputing index called the Rain Exposure Index (REI) is proposed. REI can be used for flash flooding prediction due to heavy rainfall accumulation. The index was constructed by computing data from GOES-9 satellite images using combinations of image processing and functional constructs. Water vapour data from GOES-9 satellites were collected from 1 January 20 September, 2...
