Since its discovery, the Chauvet cave elaborate artwork called into question our understanding of Palaeolithic art evolution and challenged traditional chronological benchmarks [Valladas H et al. (2001) Nature 413:419-479]. Chronological approaches revealing human presences in the cavity during the Aurignacian and the Gravettian are indeed still debated on the basis of stylistic criteria [Petti...

The study of rainfall in the long term is essential for climatic change understanding and socioeconomic development. main goal this was to explore spatial temporal variations precipitation different time scales (seasonal annual) Cameroon. Mann–Kendall Pettitt tests were applied analyze variability. In terms, regions Cameroon have recorded significant drops annual that Pettitt’s test generally s...

This study aims to analyze the stationariety and homogeneity of rainfall streamflow series contribution basin Castro Alves Hydroeletric Power Plant, in Southern Brazil. The data were acquired from Agência Nacional de Águas, average was calculated for period 1945 2017. Operador do Sistema Elétrico covering a analysis performed complete two periods obtained same, referring before after 1970. Six ...

Pan evaporative changes are one of the key components water resources management a river basin under changing climate and anthropogenic-induced warming. The present study was undertaken for transboundary Godavari River (India) to identify trends in pan evaporation (Epan) by non-parametric Mann–Kendall (MK) test annual, seasonal monthly time scales. Pettitt test, also used this detect abrupt mea...

In this study, homogeneity checking the annual maximum rainfall intensity series for periods ranging from 30 to 78 years were obtained 103 stations operated by Turkish State Meteorological Service. Absolute tests namely Standard Normal Homogeneity Test (SNHT), Buishand Range (BRT), Pettitt (PT), and Von Neumann Ratio (VNRT) applied at a confidence level of 95%. Stations classified inhomogeneous...

The trend analysis of annual temperature (daily average) and total precipitation has been conducted for 14 stations located in the Aegean Region, Turkey. Sen, Spearman’s rho, Mann-Kendall test methods are used detection historical trends region. Pettitt is also implemented to find significance trend, while Theil-Sen approach applied detect change point(s) time series. Findings following study i...

The Middle to Upper Paleolithic boundary marks an important threshold in human cultural and biological evolutionwith the establishment of Anatomically Modern Humans and the termination of Neandertal settlement in Eurasia between 40–30 ka C BP. The demographic and cultural processes underlying this ‘‘transition’’ throughout Eurasia are among the most intensively debated issues in Paleolithic Arc...

The water level of Dongting Lake has changed because of the combined impact of climatic change and anthropogenic activities. A study of the long-term statistical properties of water level variations at Chenglingji station will help with the management of water resources in Dongting Lake. In this case, 54 years of water level data for Dongting Lake were analyzed with the non-parametric Mann–Kend...

Climates are constantly changing on a temporal and spatial scale, so they not static. In recent years, global warming changes in climate have shown more effects the hydrological cycle water resources, their become noticeable that hinder sustainable life. For this reason, studies investigation of main causes observed climate, evaluation change as process determination will emerge, increased over...

Understanding watershed responses to extreme events is important for assessing potential impacts of floods, droughts, episodic pollution, and other external driving variables on watershed resources. In this study, we combine trend and frequency analyses with paired watershed techniques to evaluate the long-term highand low-flow data from Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory in North Carolina, USA in a...
