The COld REgions Hydrology High-resolution Observatory (CoReH2O) satellite is a candidate mission for the Earth Explorer Programme of ESA. Detailed scientific and technical studies (Phase-A) on the mission are going on. The sensor is a dual frequency SAR, operating at 17.2 and 9.6 GHz, VV and VH polarizations. The mission will deliver spatially distributed snow and ice observations, to improve ...

The COld REgions Hydrology High-resolution Observatory (CoRe-H2O) satellite mission has been selected for scientific and technical studies within the ESA Earth Explorer Programme. The mission addresses the need for spatially detailed snow and ice observations in order to improve the representation of the cryosphere in climate models and to improve the knowledge and prediction of water cycle var...

We consider climate as a network of many dynamical systems and apply ideas from graph theory to a global data set to study its collective behavior. We +nd that the network has properties of ‘small-world’ networks (Nature 393 (1999) 440). A detailed investigation of the coupling architecture of this network reveals that the overall dynamics emerge from the interaction of two interweaved subnetwo...

Ambient intelligence is an emerging platform that provides advances in sensors and sensor networks, pervasive computing, and artificial intelligence to capture the real time climate data. This result continuously generates several exabytes of unstructured sensor data and so it is often called big climate data. Nowadays, researchers are trying to use big climate data to monitor and predict the c...

sustainability creates solutions that solve the economic, social and environmental challenges. it has been studied and managed over many scales of time and space and in many contexts. the paper reviews the definitions of sustainability respecting the ecologic concept as well the need for balanced sustainability within its three pillars on equal way, then it goes throw ecologic architecture with...

this research was an attempt to study reasons for creation of some of the important and sacred numbers and their reflection in architectural and urban spaces. this subject matter is important because significant and sacred numbers were used in design and construction of a number of historical spaces. the research objective was to discover some of the reasons for formation of important and sacre...
