Both bivariate and partial correlations are used over a five and six-month lag to assess the relevance the tropical Atlantic SSTs have in eastern United States precipitation patterns. Significant correlations between Pacific SSTs and precipitation were found during winter months which agree with previous literature. The relationship with the Atlantic SSTs was less robust, as some significant values were established over three seasons, excluding winter. Only the spring season showed a partial explanation of the Atlantic SST`s role in the precipitation`s response to Pacific SSTs. These relationships did not occur during the times when significant correlations were made between Pacific SSTs and precipitation. ····· 10361114501

Again environmental condition of a city may define the landuse of that city. The pattern of landuse of Narayanganj city is rapidly changing. With this the status of water, sound and solid waste management are also deteriorating. Narayanganj, as a city merges with the characteristics of Dhaka mega city, facing a momentum of economic growth. This momentum has altered the landuse pattern of the area. The current research has analysed the nexus between landuse change and environmental degradation of Narayanganj municipality area. The study finds that a significant change has been occurred in landuse pattern of the city is the conversion of agricultural land into settlements and other urban uses. The experimental results and the degree of respondents` satisfaction on the environment of Narayanganj city are nearly same. Finally, it is found that the intensive landuse of the city is mainly responsible for gradual degradation of physical environment. ····· 10361114249

The dynamic character of the tidal rivers of this delta has been typically responding which is becoming too intangible to the planners. It is very much unfortunate to all of us when we exploit the deltas like Sundarbans to meet our daily needs in response to the population growth years after years without any return. So, this is the time to stop a while and think over the effects of past human activities on nature and to make plan for the establishment of an ecologically balanced nature. Is it possible to give Sundarbans a little chance to develop by its own natural way The authors hope that this book will surely earn its most desired value which would be tribute to the villagers of Indian Sundarbans. This book will surely invite and encourage the young geographers or researchers from various disciplines of different national and international universities to understand the need of micro-level hydro-geomorphic study on the physically endangered parts of the green deltas of the world. ····· 10361114236

Land use priorities have to strike a balance between competing needs of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, livestock, settlements, and urban and industrial development. This study aimed to explore the existing land use patterns in Bangladesh to understand existing land use dynamics and predict future land uses. Time and population pressure were found to be the major driving forces to determine land use and land use changes in Bangladesh. As the country is slowly advancing towards development urbanization and industrialization are emerging as major conflicting land uses converting very good agricultural land to non-agricultural purposes. To overcome the loss of these lands farmers are trying to increase food production from the remaining lands without considering the productive capacity of the lands. Land tenure was also found to constrain potential yield. This results in a lack of inspiration and encouragement to produce more food from the land. It is now imperative to adopt a land reform programme providing the farmers with ownership rights over the land they cultivate. ····· 10361114121

Das Ziel dieses Bandes ist es, die lokalen und regionalen Befunde im Licht eines vergleichenden Ansatzes (räumlicher und zeitlicher Vergleich) zu evaluieren. Darüber hinaus ist intendiert, die Selbst- und Fremdbilder beider Länder sichtbar werden so lassen, um mentale Barrieren sichtbar zu machen und schrittweise abzubauen. In sieben Kapiteln erfolgt die schrittweise Bearbeitung dieses Vorhabens. In den Kapiteln 1 bis 6 stehen ausgewählte Themen im Vordergrund. Die Wahrnehmung beider Länder in der Öffentlichkeit und im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs wird im ersten Beitrag (J.-B. Haversath) präsentiert. Dabei geht es um die Spirale von Unkenntnis, Ignoranz und Ablehnung, die für die Fremdbilder beider Länder kennzeichnend sind. Kapitel 2 nimmt das Donaudelta unter die Lupe (S. Grahl) hier steht der Zusammenhang von Mensch und Natur im Zentrum. Kapitel 3 (M. Schwesinger) widmet sich dem Verstehen fremder Kulturen es wird ein Ansatz vorgestellt, der auf der studentischen Exkursion 2010 praktiziert wurde. Das nächste Kapitel (K. Tutas) greift ein Alltagsphänomen auf, das in Rumänien und Deutschland scheinbar ganz unterschiedlichen Regeln und Ritualen unterliegt: den Fußballsport. Das konkrete Fallbeispiel FC Botosani macht deutlich, wie ähnlich oder unähnlich beide Länder unter diesem Aspekt sind. Ethnien in Rumänien sind ein schier grenzenloses Thema A.

Mufulira, a town in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia houses one of the biggest underground mines in the world. Due to various economic shocks the country was going through, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) suggested that the mines be privatized as a way of liberalizing the economy. However, before this could be enacted, some workers were retrenched while others were retired. The market was liberalized, subsidies on consumer goods and services were removed and there was transformation in the labor sector as there was advocacy for capital intensive operations. It was from this premise that the author wrote the book as a way of communicating the impact some of these conditions had caused on households` cost of living, education, employment and household trends. ····· 10361103015
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Conservation in a dynamic setting requires understanding the processes, trends and factors leading to landscape change. This study integrated Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System, and analysis of household survey data to quantify the land cover dynamics between 1975 and 2004, to evaluate the factors influencing household`s land use change, and to predict the locations of forest change in Nam Dong district, Central Vietnam. On the course of the study period, district`s total forest cover did not decrease rapidly. However, there were dynamic transitions in land cover. Degradation of closed canopy forests accelerated after 2001, coinciding with implementation of forest decentralization policies in Nam Dong. At the landscape level, biophysical models explained only small portions of forest degradation and land cover conversion, but narratives described their link with policy. Household`s rapid land use change towards tree plantations since the early 2000s was linked with economic factors. The author argues that in the long run, observed landscape outcomes of policy will impose important threats to forest conservation in Central Vietnam. ····· 10361102880

Its goal is to introduce new and effective NRT monitoring capabilities for the burn scars estimation using LANDSAT in Thailand, where NRT information is missing, for more efficient forest fire control resources allocation. The concept of the newly proposed near real time burn scars detection algorithm was developed based on the information found in the Fire Experiment (in collaboration with the Forest Fire Control Office at the Huai-Kha-Kaeng Wildlife Sanctuary) and MODIS comparison. The derivative from Band 1 and 2, NDVI, was used to distinguish vegetations condition change (unusual low). Band 20, a thermal band, was used to discriminate abnormal pixel temperature (unusual high). The scatter plot of Burn and Un- burn pixels is the fundamental knowledge to calculate the burn-un-burn separation using a linear equation. Validation shows well conformed additional temporal burn scars detection information with good accuracy in term of forest fire burn scars dynamic movement throughout the forest fire season in the year 2002. ····· 10361102067

Climate-induced changes in hydrological conditions are expected to affect the magnitude and frequency of future ERE across Asia. Apart from concepts, definition, and impact of ERE, this book aims at giving an insight into the flood disaster trend in South Asian region (SAR) between 1960 and 2008 and meteorological drought across Orissa, India between 1901 and 2002. It is observed that flood events across SAR increased four to six folds between 2000 and 2008, when compared to those in 1970s. It was also seen that India is more vulnerable to flood events with respect to other SAR countries. The Orissa case study reveals that Rayagada is a highly drought prone district. ArcView GIS 3.2 Software was used to map the drought prone districts. No-regret` adaptation strategies considering the social, economical, physical, and environmental components have been suggested to cope with the consequences of ERE. ····· 10361102061

The wadi beds and alluvial plains are the most attractive landforms in the dryland for urban development, but the hydrological processes of these wadis and feeder catchments were almost neglected. The occasional development of heavy storms has proved the capability of the resulting flash floods and associated sediment transport to devastate the urban areas as well as the other human activities. Additionally the disposal of sewage discharge of the growing towns and cities is one of the serious problems that affect the sustainability of environmental resources. The alluvium aquifers are being replenished by the sewage discharge. This contaminated groundwater poses a serious threat to the public health and remedial actions are urgently required to deal with the environmental consequences of the hydrological problems of sewage discharge.

Channel geometry, water flow and sediment transport in braided rivers interact and vary in spatial and temporal scale, resulting in erosion and deposition in channel segments and growth and migration of bars. Quantitative determination of channel dimension in relation to sedimentation and bar formation requires an understanding of interactions among flow hydraulics, bar dynamics and channel migration. This book is based on detailed field investigation and satellite image interpretation of the Brahmaputra-Jamuna River at selected reaches and the overall research scheme encompasses bank erosion and accretion, bar formation and channel widening, and the rate and magnitude of channel dynamics. Estimation of reach- scale sediment balance using cross-sections and satellite images provides information of quality and demonstrates a preferred method for sediment budget estimations in the Brahmaputra-Jamuna River. ····· 10361101695
