Abstract Sound generating human activities so-called “anthropogenic sound” have increased ambient sound levels considerably in aquatic habitats that are markedly diverse in time and space. Sound generating human activities is now recognized as a potential driver of environmental changes in marine habitats. Iran has 750 km coastline along the Caspian Sea located in the north and around 2250 km ...

The coastal zone of Mekong delta is suffering under intense pressures from climate change as well as human intervention. Currently, the coastline evolution of Mekong delta is a complex combination of impacts due to (1) relative sea level rise i.e. the sum of eustatic sea level rise, natural and human induced subsidence (2) sediment transport rate changes at some sections due to change of wave c...

The Makran Coast (Iranian Coastline of the Oman Sea on the Northern Indian Ocean) plays an important role in country’s future navigation and trade due to its accessibility. In 2014, the Iranian Makran coastline was selected by the PMO to be studied as the Phase 6 in the series of Monitoring and Modelling Studies of Iranian Coasts with all disciplines being in investigated including currents. Al...

On December 26, 2004, at 00:58 GMT a Mw 9.0 earthquake took place in the Indian Ocean, offshore the West coast of Sumatra, at a depth of about 30 km. This earthquake is one of the largest events of the last 100 years, comparable only to the Chile 1960 and Alaska 1964 ones. The earthquake originates in the subduction zone of the Indian and Burma plates, moving at a relative velocity of 6 cm/year...

Coastline is the connection line between land and sea, its extraction analysis are of great significance to coastal zone resources environmental protection. Using remote sensing Geographic Information Sysytem (GIS), coastline change from 1995 2015 in Fujian Province, China, was extracted. The temporal spatial evolution characteristics length, type location China were analyzed. length continued ...
