چکیده
Abstract River deltas provide important livelihoods to local populations, but at the same time are under increasing anthropogenic pressure. The opening of Gibe III dam on Omo in Ethiopia 2016 attracted international attention due importance free-flowing for pastoralist communities Delta. Sustainable river basin management requires spatially explicit, long-term information about human settlements mitigate negative impacts people’s livelihoods. Based remote sensing time-series, and supplemented with ground-truthing, we mapped settlement-dynamics Dasanech tribe. inhabited area more than doubled from 1992 2009. From 2009 2019, became permanent concentrated North Our results indicate that Delta has overall gained as a livelihood area, traditionally nomadic people shifting context investment infrastructure. Management future flow dams should consider location trajectory change downstream settlements.

This study is aimed at estimating monthly mean air temperature (Ta) using the MODIS Land Surface Temperature (LST), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), latitude, altitude, slope gradient and land use data during 2001-2015. The results showed that despite some spatial similarities between annual spatial patterns of Ta and LST, their variations are significantly different, so that the...
