Agricultural drought in the Claromecó river basin, Buenos Aires province, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The dry and wet periods affecting the Claromecó Creek Basin in the south of the Province of Buenos Aires were analysed applying Palmer’s Model. Palmer’s Drought Severity Index was calculated regionally for five towns for the 1904-1999 period.

A New Weighting Scheme in Weighted Markov Model for Predicting the Probability of Drought Episodes

open access: yes, 2018
Drought is a complex stochastic natural hazard caused by prolonged shortage of rainfall. Several environmental factors are involved in determining drought classes at the specific monitoring station. Therefore, efficient sequence processing techniques are

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Climate Change, Healthcare, and Surgery: An Investigation of the Technology Acceptance Dynamics Among European Surgeons

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between climate change (CC) and healthcare is twofold. On one hand, the effects of CC impact the rise and worsening of several diseases and the need for medical and surgical interventions, especially when extreme weather events occur.

Drought monitoring in Iran using the perpendicular drought indices

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2012
Abstract This paper aims at finding, evaluating and refining an appropriate drought estimation method for semi-arid regions, e.g., Iran using remote sensing. Recently developed methods, the Perpendicular Drought Index (PDI) and Modified Perpendicular Drought Index (MPDI), are selected as satellite based drought indices in this study.
