introduction climate change is an important environmental hazard that has been discussed in recent years. increasing the number or frequency of extreme climatic events such as severe droughts, floods, storms, heat and cold waves and heavy rains are the evidences of climate change. any of these events, due to the severity and persistence and their spread are a natural hazard that adverse effects...

Using station rainfall data and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis from 1978-2007, we characterize the spatial variations of the heavy rainfall (Meiyu) during June-July over the Jiang-Huai basin (JHB, ~28°–34° N and 110°–122° E) in East China and their associated atmospheric circulations. An empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis of the Meiyu rainfall revealed 2 other significant modes besides the domi...

Using satellite radar interferometry observations of Greenland, we detected widespread glacier acceleration below 66 degrees north between 1996 and 2000, which rapidly expanded to 70 degrees north in 2005. Accelerated ice discharge in the west and particularly in the east doubled the ice sheet mass deficit in the last decade from 90 to 220 cubic kilometers per year. As more glaciers accelerate ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study of maternal deaths through FOGSI members is to see its current STATUS. METHOD A three-year retrospective observational study from January 2005 to December 2007 formed the basis for collection of the data for analysis. RESULTS A wide variation of maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in the five zones (West-342; South-229; East-709; North East-709 and North-814) was ...

background: the consumption of low quality foods is common in low socioeconomic areas; and according to epidemiological studies, the density of nutrients often proves the quality of diet. this study aimed to compare the density of macronutrients and micronutrients in various parts of tehran.   methods: this was a cross-sectional study performed from september to december 2007 in all the 22 dist...

Nationally, the causes and extent of fire on lands administrated by the United States Forest Service varied significantly from 1940 to 2000, with California experiencing the largest relative annual burned areas.The south-east and California experienced the largest relative area burned by fires from human ignitions. No significant differences were detected in the relative area burned by lightnin...

Global changes are thought to affect most Arctic species, yet some populations are more at risk. Today, the Barents Sea ecoregion is suffering the strongest sea ice retreat ever measured; and these changes are suspected to modify food access and thus diet of several species. Biochemical diet tracers enable investigation of diet in species such as polar bears (Ursus maritimus). We examined indiv...
