identifying the change trends in forms of land surface is one of the main topics in geomorphic system. in this view, we try to assess the stability level of geo systems, boundary changes, instability and prediction of surface forms and processes response. this paper tries to conduct a comparative analysis on the geomorphic equilibrium paradigms, critical thresholds, environmental and natural ha...

Urmia Lake, the largest inland lake in Iran has lost most of its water surface area last 2 decades. The desertification caused by drying this unique may lead to dust storms from lakebed and affect air quality region. In study, MODIS derived Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) data observed between 2000 2019, Ultra Violet Index (UVAI) Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), meteorological MERRA-2 ground-leve...
