to investigate pedological criterion on land degradation in quaternary rock units, at first, a part of the shoor watershed area was selected. after distinguishing target area, slope classes, land use and geology maps were created, then map of units were founded by overlaying and crossing these maps. in this research three indices of erodibility, salinity and permeability of soils were considere...

Even though fewer people die as a result of fire than other natural disasters, such as earthquake, flood, landslide, etc., the average loss of property due to fire is high. Kathmandu Metropolitan City is becoming more vulnerable to fire due to haphazard urbanization and increase in population. To control problems due to fire, systematic studies are necessary, including fire potential mapping an...

Landslides are a major geologic hazard with estimated tens of deaths and $1–2 billion in economic losses per year in the US alone. The island of Puerto Rico experiences one or two large events per year, often triggered in steeply sloped areas by prolonged and heavy rainfall. Identifying areas susceptible to landslides thus has great potential value for Puerto Rico and would allow better managem...

investigation of desertification trend needs understanding of phenomena creating changes singly or action and reaction together in the manner that these changes were ended up in land degradation. in investigation of pedological criterion onland degradation in quaternary rock units, first, a part of the rude-shoor watershed area was selected. after distinguishing target area, maps of slope class...
