As GHG emissions did not decline as anticipated early of the 1990ties Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) recently gained more and more attention as a climate change mitigation option. However, CO2 suppressed in geological reservoirs is likely to lead to future releases of the CO2 stored. This “non-permanence” must be considered if an environmentally sound policy is desired. Against this backgroun...

extended abstract 1.introduction today the role and the importance of open and green spaces are significantly increasing in the environment and the quality of building complex. therefore, open and green spaces are considered as intrinsic, parts of land use planning decision in most countries. the gardens in the city of jahrom are the indexes of iranian thought and creativity and also the climat...

land-use change affects a number natural processes such as soil erosion, sedimentation, flooding and destruction of soil physical and chemical properties. this change of ecosystem causes the degradation of soil quality which eventually leads to a severe decrease in soil fertility. therefore, various aspects of land-use change should be taken into account in national major decision makings. this...

The growing population and increasing socio-economic necessities creates a pressure on land use/land cover. Nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. This study investigates the land use changes in part of Hableh Rood Watershed of Iran using Landsat 7 and 8 (Sensor ETM+ and OLI) ...

Lack of detailed land use (LU) information and efficient data collection methods have made the modeling of urban systems difficult. This study aims to develop a novel hierarchical rule-based LU extraction framework using geographic vector and remotely sensed (RS) data, in order to extract detailed subzonal LU information, residential LU in this study. The LU extraction system is developed to ex...
