Future changes (2015–2100) in precipitation and meteorological droughts Lake Urmia Basin were investigated using an average mean ensemble of eight general circulation models (GCMs) with high-resolution datasets socioeconomic pathway scenarios (SSPs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). In order to project drought, standardized index (SPI) was calculated. Overall, results reve...

drought is one of the most important weather-induced phenomena which may have severe impacts on different areas such as agriculture, economy, energy production, and society. a number of drought indices have been introduced and used in various countries to date. in the current study, four meteorological drought indices including percent of normal precipitation index (pnpi), standard index of ann...

Lake Urmia (or Ormiyeh) is one of the largest hypersaline lakes in the world and the habitat of a unique bisexual Artemia species (A. urmiana).

although typically small in terms of their spatial footprint, landslide hazards are relativelyfrequent in northern iran. we assess landslide susceptibility for the nearly 20.000 km2 large study area of the urmia lake basin which is dominated by agricultural land use but includes the major settlements areas of the east azerbaijan province, iran. landslide factors are established in form of gis d...

Urmia Lake in northwestern Iran has been facing critical water level shrinkage in recent years with ‎serious environmental consequences. It is expected that with the current trend, the lake will be ‎completely dried out in a few years from now. This study attempts to assess the impacts of human ‎activities on water level fluctuations of Urmia Lake by developing a comprehensive hydrologic ‎simul...
