in recent years, the topic of desertification has been discussed in different ways in scientific areas. this event occurred globally, regionally and nationally and many steps were taken to stop it. desertification is challenged universally and its destructive effects are unavoidable and its consequences do endanger the life of inhabitants. the identification of sensitive regions and prevention ...

accelerated process of urbanization and global warming make urban flood one of the most important issues in urban planning. tehran recently has been affected by the flooding and its damages. high intensity rainfall and uncontrolled urban development and main inefficient networks of drainage system are the main reasons. this research uses an efficient approach for flood hazard assessment in tehr...

Landslides are among the most damaging natural hazards in mountainous regions. In this study, landslide hazard zonation was conducted in the Baba Heydar Watershed using logistic statistical regression to determine landslide hazard areas. First, a landslide inventory map was prepared using aerial photograph interpretation and field surveys. Next, ten landslide conditioning factors including alti...

Bathymetric distributions of photosynthetic marine invertebrate species are relatively well studied, however the importance of symbiont zonation (i.e. hosting of distinct algal endosymbiont communities over depth) in determining these depth distributions still remains unclear. Here, we assess the prevalence of symbiont zonation in tropical scleractinian corals by genotyping the Symbiodinium of ...

introduction the natural phenomenon events are involved with several natural and unnatural factors that play a specific role in it event. landslides, is example of such natural phenomena that resulted from interaction of various factors. understanding the impact and weight of each factor by mathematical models can be solution for landslide study in term of zonation and extraction. landslides ar...

Old precast buildings are often characterized by poor detailing that may hamper the structural performance, particularly in case of earthquakes. This is essentially related to: (i) a limited past knowledge seismic design and behaviour, also reflected building codes; (ii) evolution zonation Italian territory. The aim this work to assess probabilistic vulnerability with respect usability preventi...

Landslide hazard assessment is an important step towards landslide hazard and risk management. There are several methods of Landslide Hazard Zonation (LHZ) viz. heuristic, semi quantitative, quantitative, probabilistic and multi-criteria decision making process. However, no one method is accepted universally for effective assessment of landslide hazards. In recent years, several attempts have b...
