Since extreme precipitation impacts society on small scales (i.e., a few kilometers and smaller, it is worthwhile to explore trends in localized regions, such as Long Island (LI), New York. Its coastal location makes vulnerable various events, tropical cyclones (TCs). This work aimed quantify the events LI that are caused by TCs, well percentage of TCs passing close cause events. Both gauge-bas...

Land Cover–Land Use Changes (LULCC) and landscape fragmentation have been a common research topic for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) scientists since the middle of 20th century; particularly, they helped to make accessible spatial characteristics land management through time. We researched LULCC in Arauco Province Chile using satellite image analysis (1976–2016) FRAGSTAT software. This ar...
