Observations of the sea surface height in the Argentine Basin indicate that strong variability occurs on a time scale of 20 30 days. The aim of this study is to determine the physical processes responsible for this variability. First, results are presented from two statistical techniques applied to a decade of altimetric data. A complex empirical orthogonal function (CEOF) analysis identifies t...

[1] Quantifying the ejecta distribution around large lunar basins is important to understanding the origin of basin rings, the volume of the transient cavity, the depth of sampling, and the nature of the basin formation processes. We have used newly obtained altimetry data of the Moon from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument to estimate the thickness of ejecta in the region surr...

Spatial and attribute database of the glaciers and glacial lakes of whole Nepal had developed by ICIMOD in collaboration with UNEP/RRC-AP in 2001 using remote sensing and geographic information systems techniques. There are altogether 3,252 glaciers covering an area of 5,322 square kilometer with approximately 481 km of ice reserves. The Mahakali River basin comprises 87 glaciers with an area o...

The present study was carried out in 2011 to measure concentration of heavy metals chromium and tin in liver and muscle tissue of Liza aurata (golden grey mullet) in estuaries of the rivers Babolroud, Tajan and Gorganroud. Accordingly, after sampling the target are asandisolating muscle (18samples) and liver (18samples) tissues, they were digested and analyzed using Graphite Furnace Atomic Abso...

Crops growing in salt-affected soils may suffer from physiological droughtstress, ion toxicity, and mineral deficiency which then lead to reduced growth andproductivity. A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of differentsalinity levels, i.e. ECe=3 dS m-1 (control), 8, 12 and 16 dS m-1 on wheat grainyield, yield components and leaf ion uptake. Desired salinity levels were obtainedby...

this paper tries to systematically survey, with taking theoretical view on geomorphic basin and its changes into account. the purpose of this research is to determine the balance and stability of geomorphic basins from the past to present and then to future. consequently, it tries to determine the balance between energy and input-output materials for example (rainfall , solar radiation, tectoni...

Intermontane basins in the Trans-Pecos region of westernmost Texas and northern Chihuahua, Mexico, are target areas for disposal of interstate municipal sludge and have been identified as possible disposal sites for low-level radioactive waste. Understanding ground water movement within and between these basins is needed to assess potential contaminant fate and movement. Four associated basin a...

Introduction: The dynamics of the crust-mantle interface (Moho) underlying lunar impact basins has received considerable study, particularly those with strong positive free-air gravity anomalies associated with the locations of large basins (" mascons ") [e.g. 1-8]. These gravity anomalies, detected via orbital spacecraft observation, indicate that after surface topography and mare loads are ac...
