Green manures are widely used in rice production and may influence methane efflux (CH4). Influence of application of Azolla (A. caroliniana Wild.), a widely used biofertilizer for rice (Oryza sativa L.), on CH4 efflux from a flooded alluvial soil planted to rice, and select soil and plant variables were investigated in a field experiment at Cuttack, India. Azolla was either incorporated as gree...

Sea level rise has increased the frequency of tidal flooding even without accompanying precipitation in many coastal areas worldwide. As tide rises, inundates landscape, and then recedes, it can transport organic inorganic matter between terrestrial systems adjacent aquatic environments. However, chemical biological effects on urban estuarine remain poorly constrained. Here, we provide first ex...

BACKGROUND Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is weather dependent arboviral infection of livestock and humans. Population dynamics of mosquito vectors is associated with disease epidemics. In our study, we use daily temperature and rainfall as model inputs to simulate dynamics of mosquito vectors population in relation to disease epidemics. METHODS/FINDINGS Time-varying distributed delays (TVDD) and mu...

Remote sensing using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an important tool for emergency flood incident management. At present, operational services are mainly aimed at mapping in rural areas, as urban areas hampered by the complicated backscattering mechanisms occurring there. A method detecting flooding high resolution that may contain dense housing presented. This largely uses remotely sensed ...

An automated tool for pre-operational mapping of floods and inland waters using Sentinel-1 data is presented. The acronym AUTOWADE (AUTOmatic Water Areas DEtector) used to denote it. provides the end user (Italian Department Civil Protection) with a continuous, near real-time (NRT) monitoring extent water surfaces (floodwater permanent water). It implements following operations: downloading pro...
