A spatio-temporal geostatistical approach to predicting pollution levels: The case of mono-nitrogen oxides in Madrid

Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Drought Severity Using Drought Indices and Deterministic and Geostatistical Methods (Case Study: Zayandehroud River Basin)

     Drought monitoring is a fundamental component of drought risk management. It is normally performed using various drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydrometeorological variables. In many instances, drought indices are used for monitoring purposes. Geostatistical methods allow the interpolation of spatially referenced data and the prediction of v...

Reduced-Rank Spatio-Temporal Modeling of Air Pollution Concentrations in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and Air Pollution.

There is growing evidence in the epidemiologic literature of the relationship between air pollution and adverse health outcomes. Prediction of individual air pollution exposure in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funded Multi-Ethnic Study of Atheroscelerosis and Air Pollution (MESA Air) study relies on a flexible spatio-temporal prediction model that integrates land-use regression with...

Modeling and Spatio-Temporal Analysis of the Distribution of O3 in Tehran City Based on Neural Network and Spatial Analysis in GIS Environment

Air pollution is one of the most problems that people are facing today in metropolitan areas. Suspended particulates, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone and nitrogen dioxide are the five major pollutants of air that pose many problems to human health. The goal of this study is to propose a spatial approach for estimation and analyzing the spatial and temporal distribution of ozone based on ...

Assessment of spatio-temporal variations of surface water quality and prioritization of pollution Sources (case Study: Talar Watershed, Mazandaran province)

Spatio-temporal changes of water quality variables in a highly disturbed river

Quality of river varies widely depending on the land use in the catchment and environmental factors. Many rivers in developing countries are unhealthy because they contain harmful physical, chemical and biological agents. Zanjanrud River, located in Zanjan Province, Iran, where recently faced human intervention needs a regular monitoring from upstream to downstream for sustainable management. H...
