Introduction: The globally extensive smooth plains of Mercury are believed to be mostly volcanic in origin [1]. Widespread effusive volcanism on Mercury is thought to have ended by ~3.5 Ga due to secular cooling of the planet’s interior, and contraction of its lithosphere [2]. As the planet cools and contracts, melt should be produced at a slower rate and in smaller volumes, so it will stall de...

haraz-ghareh su is one of the seven sub-basins of the caspian basin, located on the southern shores of the caspian sea, and as such, is in danger of water crisis due to absence of proper systematic policy and strategy. in this study, the pressure factors on the haraz-ghareh su water resources were identified using dpsir model. then, the pressure parameters on the freshwater resources in the cas...

One of the most important issues in water supply for agriculture or drinking is sediment control.Sedimentation in water conveyance channels reduces transmission efficiency. this study evaluated theefficiency of settling basin of Kamandan intake that is located in the village of Aligoodarz in Lorestanprovince. At first sample from water and sediment in inlet and outlet of settling basin in diffe...

This paper describes long-term hydrologic response within a rapidly developing watershed in the western suburbs of Washington, DC, within the Chesapeake Bay drainage basin. Data consist of up to 24 years of observed rainfall, basin discharge, and land use/land cover (LULC) from four headwater basins of the Occoquan River in northern Virginia. Basin outlets are monitored for storm and nonstorm f...

Drained thermokarst lake basins accumulate significant amounts of soil organic carbon in the form of peat, which is of interest to understanding carbon cycling and climate change feedbacks associated with thermokarst in the Arctic. Remote sensing is a tool useful for understanding temporal and spatial dynamics of drained basins. In this study, we tested the application of high-resolution X-band...

An attempt was made to compensate for the lack of long hydrological time series and the lack of information on maximum streamflow in the Alzette River basin (Luxembourg) via the regionalization of stormflow coefficients. Streamflow data recorded since 1995 with a very dense streamgauge network allowed the determination of maximum stormflow coefficients in 18 sub-basins of the Alzette. The storm...
