Spatial and Statistical Characterization of Forest Fuels Distribution
ISBN: 9783639221909 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Characterization of forest fuels is a key component of the successful implementation of any fire management system. Great advances have been made in the characterization of forest cover by the use of remote sensing technology. Characterization of understory fuels, however, has been limited always by the difficulty of current remote sensing products to observe through the canopy. This limitation underscores the importance of exploring approaches related to site environment characteristics that can influence the production and accumulation of understory fuels. This work explores the ...

Alteration of the alpine vegetation due to climate change
ISBN: 9783639214239 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Climate change is indeed a serious problem across most of the planet, however, certain areas are affected at a higher rate. The very unique regions of the Alps, which provide habitats for 20% of Europes vascular plants, may particularly be impacted. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the direct effects of climate warming on the alpine floras distribution in the Karwendel Alps, Tyrol, Austria. Here, the higher situated vegetation belts were studied by analysing recent and historic patterns. Based on the obtained data, a model was constructed to exhibit the potential future plant species...

Where did the trees go?
ISBN: 9783639132632 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents an account of the vegetational and environmental changes, which occurred on Lesvos Island, Greece, during the last glacial period [Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 2-4]. Based on high-resolution pollen and sediment analyses it provides the most detailed record from Greece and western Turkey to date. Six tephra layers and multiple radiocarbon dates are used to develop its chronological framework. During the late MIS 4 cold and arid conditions prevailed and the landscape was characterised by increased erosion rates and the dominance of grassland/steppe. Arboreal populations...

The Characteristics and impacts of landfill leachate
ISBN: 9783639203967 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Disposing of solids waste to landfill is regarded as one of the most economical means of handling waste though landfills pose pollution threat to both ground and surface water resources. However, landfill liners and good landfill management practices may reduce the impact of water contamination by landfills. Chemical analysis of groundwater beneath and near two landfills from New Zealand and Lesotho (in Southern Africa) showed that there are higher concentrations of chemicals such as Chlorides, TDS and COD than average. The water was also found to contain higher amounts of heavy metals. High...

GIS and Remote Sensing for Groundwater
ISBN: 9783639218497 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An integrated approach with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) was adopted to assess the groundwater potential in the southern lowlands of Ethiopia, Moyale-Teltele sub-basin of the Genale Dawa river basin. Six geologic, physiographic, and hydrologic factors were applied namely: lithology, structure, geomorphology, slope, land cover, and drainage. Satty's Analytical Hierarchy Process was utilized in giving ranks and weights to the layers and different classes in them. Weighted Overlay Analysis was implemented in ArcGIS to combine the thematic layers and produce the...

Klimaänderung in Südösterreich
ISBN: 9783639224221 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die gegenstandliche Arbeit befasst sich mit der Problematik des globalen Klimawandels, der mittlerweile Realitat ist. Inwieweit der anthropogene, vom Menschen verursachte Treibhauseffekt das Klima wirklich andert, ist bis dato aber noch ungeklart und unter Forschern selbst umstritten. Die Folgen der klimatischen Veranderungen und Entwicklungen sind allerdings schon jetzt eindeutig erkennbar. Deshalb sind sowohl die Anpassung an die Klimaanderung (=Adaption), als auch die Vermeidung von Treibhausgasemissionen (=Mitigation) Massnahmen, die sofort umgesetzt werden mussen, da ein Vernachlassigen...

A Case Study of Laguna del Encañado (33°S/70°W)
ISBN: 9783639225921 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work gives an overview of the limnogeological development (multi-decadal to centennial resolution) of the selected pro-glacial lakes and their catchments over the last 2000 years. Surface samples from ten lakes inform about modern lake conditions. All lakes investigated in this study are located in Central Chile (32-35 S), on the windward side of the Andes at the northern limit of the Southern Westerlies influence. Climate in Central Chile is highly influenced by the Southern Westerly Circulation Belt and warm ENSO events. Therefore this area is a key site for studies aiming at...

ISBN: 9783639201420 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A study was conducted in the Lake Tana Basin of the highlands of Ethiopia on analysis of degradation of the land resources by looking into land use and cover changes(LUCCs), changes on hydrological, soil, and climate resources. As a result there were hotspot and brighter spot areas, which topographically steeply sloping areas where used for traditional agriculture are found to be hotspots of land degradation. The causes of land degradation, in the LTB, were expansion of crop cultivation, loss of vegetation along fragile places, and outfarm disposal of the biomass. Other causes of...

Cyclostratigraphy analysis of the SW Tanqua Karoo Basin South Africa
ISBN: 9783639230666 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. cyclic phenomena in deltas may originate from both autogenetic processes and allogenetic processes Autogenetic cycles are often controlled primarily by processes taking place in the sedimentary basin itself like delta lobe switching, irregular switching of delta lobes, related to the degree of sediment accumulation and the geometry of the delta complex Allogenetic cycles are caused mainly by variations external to the considered sedimentary basin such as tectonic movements, sea level variations, and climatic changes. These processes tend to generate cyclic phenomena. Cyclic sections of a...

Predictability of Tropical Cyclones
ISBN: 9783639175844 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Through methodology unique for tropical cyclones in peer-reviewed literature and through examination of two tropical cyclone events, this study uses ensemble forecasts, sensitivity analysis, and ensemble data assimilation to explore the dynamics and predictability of tropical cyclone formation with state-of-the-art cloud-resolving mesoscale models. In both of these cases, high convective available potential energy and mid-level moisture were found to benefit genesis. The strong sensitivity to initial condition differences in both cases exemplifies the inherent uncertainties in hurricane...
