Integration of Ecological and Socioeconomic Indicators for Estuaries and Watersheds of the Atlantic Slope

Integration of Ecological and Socioeconomic Indicators for Estuaries and Watersheds of the Atlantic Slope

A systematic and meta-analysis review of heavy metals pollution, toxicity potential, ecological and biological risk in surface sediments of Mahshahr and Imam Khomeini port estuaries (Coastal areas of Khuzestan province)

Coastal areas including the estuaries of Persian Gulf are sensitive and fragile areas of aquatic ecosystems in Iran that are severely affected by pollution from urbanization, industrialization, and maritime activity. Despite numerous studies on the status of pollution, especially heavy metals in these areas, comprehensive and systematic studies on this subject have not been conducted. Therefore...

Application of Data-Mining Algorithms in the Sensitivity Analysis and Zoning of Areas Prone to Gully Erosion in the Indicator Watersheds of Khorasan Razavi Province

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Gully erosion is one of the most important sources of sediment in the watersheds and a common phenomenon in semi-arid climate that affects vast areas with different morphological, soil and climatic conditions. This type of erosion is very dangerous due to the transfer of fertile soil horizons, and the reduction of water holding capacity also is a factor for s...

Ecological and Economic Principles to Improve the Route Network of Urban Transport

The transport system of many Ukrainian cities does not meet the EU standards and requirements. There is a need to improve urban transport networks, to use transport potential efficiently on the basis of environmental logistics and to improve environmental safety as one of the principles of sustainable transport development. The systems model to create an ecologically safe logistics system of pu...
