Remote Sensing of Narrowing Barrier Islands along the Coast of Pakistan over Past 30 Years

چکیده
Barrier islands (BIs) are the first line of defense against sea/wave actions in coastal areas, and assessing their stability is crucial context effective planning. Therefore, this study evaluates spatial–temporal shoreline changes BIs Pakistan over past three decades (1989–2018). Satellite data from Landsat missions used to delineate shorelines 19 Pakistan. After delineating satellite observations, two well-known statistical methods (i.e., end point rate (EPR) linear regression (LRR)) capture localized BIs. The results ascertain that nearly all have experienced noteworthy erosion during decades. While mean period estimated be >6 m/y, significant spatial heterogeneities among individual exist. interdecadal comparison indicates highest occurred 1989–1999 (13.03 ± 0.62 m/y), which gradually reduced preceding 7.76 m/y 1999–2009 3.8 0.7 2009–2018). Nevertheless, ~65% total high (>2 ~15% moderate (<2 ~20% low (<1 m/y) 1989-2018. This situation implies while these need immediate interventions concerned authorities, 15% with might experience wake rising sea levels decreasing sediment influx near future without proper measures. depletion not only affect but also regional consequences due various services.

Sample size in psychological research over the past 30 years.
The American Psychological Association (APA) Task Force on Statistical Inference was formed in 1996 in response to a growing body of research demonstrating methodological issues that threatened the credibility of psychological research, and made recommendations to address them. One issue was the small, even dramatically inadequate, size of samples used in studies published by leading journals. ...

Benthic Biotopes Remote Sensing Using Single Beam Acoustics on the South Coast of the Qeshm Island, the Persian Gulf
The study presents the result of a new attempt for benthic biotopes remote sensing in the southern coast of the Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf. This survey site covers approximately 233 km2 in water depth between five and 25 m. Bathymetric data was derived from the single beam survey and grab stations, underwater video and photos were undertaken as ground-trusthing. The acoustic results showe...
متن کاملSeasonal spatial heterogeneity of warming rates on the Tibetan Plateau over the past 30 years
Based on temperature data from 79 meteorological stations, we estimate the warming rate by season on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) during 1984-2013. The warming rate was spatially heterogeneous across seasons over the past 30 years. The northern TP (NTP) experienced more warming than the southern TP (STP) (divided near 33 °N) in all seasons. The greatest north-south difference in warming was 0.70 ± ...
