There have been many published studies aiming to identify temporal changes in river flow time series, most of which use monotonic trend tests such as the Mann–Kendall test. Although robust to both the distribution of the data and incomplete records, these tests have important limitations and provide no information as to whether a change in variability mirrors a change in magnitude. This study d...

Land surface evapotranspiration (LET) from typical river basins in China in the years 1991, 1995 and 1999, was modelled with a quantitative remote sensing method, which is based on a modified version of the Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) model. LET simulations were conducted on several river basins, and validations demonstrated good agreement with observational data on all basins, except ...

The photo “Sleeping on the river bed” by Nimai Chandra Ghosh won a special mention in the WHO photo and video contest Images of Health and Disability 2007 Special Theme: Health and Environment. A boy sleeps on a dried-up river bed in India. Experts believe that climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of droughts. N im ai C ha nd ra G ho sh Will increased awareness of the health ...

Quantifying the isolated and integrated impacts of land use (LU) and climate change on streamflow is challenging as well as crucial to optimally manage water resources in river basins. This paper presents a simple hydrologic modeling-based approach to segregate the impacts of land use and climate change on the streamflow of a river basin. The upper Ganga basin (UGB) in India is selected as the ...

introduction the coastal zone is one of the greatest environmental and economic assets of each nation. in coastal regions the natural forces that cause shoreline changes are embodied in waves, currents, wind and other factors. gorganroud river delta is located in 53°57 to 54° 1 e and 36°56 to 37° n in southeast part of caspian sea. in this study, gibbosity of gorgan river delta has been studied...

While the ecology and evolution of partial migratory systems (defined broadly to include skip spawning) have been well studied, we are only beginning to understand how partial migratory populations are responding to ongoing environmental change. Environmental change can lead to differences in the fitness of residents and migrants, which could eventually lead to changes in the frequency of the s...
