Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTrends and Multifractal Analyses of Precipitation Data from Shandong Peninsula, ChinaMeng Gao, Xiyong HouProblem statement: Water shortage is a very serious problem in Shandong Peninsula, which is one of the most rapidly developed zone in China. As the major source of water supply is in this area, precipitation is crucial to sustainable development in Shandong Peninsula. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the trend and characteristics of precipitation during the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 May 2012 · 7,160 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMercury in Hair of Muskox on the Seward PeninsulaClaudia Ihl, R. Terry Bowyer, Kriya L. Dunlap, Lawrence K. DuffyProblem statement: Muskoxen (Ovibus moschatus) are distant relatives of sheep (Caprinae) and have roamed the Arctic for a million years, with populations reaching North America between 150,000 and 250,000 years ago. Muskox populations could be negatively influenced by climate change and increased exposure to contaminants. Since the snow depth is a critical factor in their ecology, effects could occur throughout … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 24 Mar 2012 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnalysis of Evapotranspiration Variability and Trends in the Arabian PeninsulaMohammad ElNesr, Abdulrahman Alazba, Majed Abu-ZreigProblem statement: Climate variability is receiving much attention recently because it has significant effects on water resources and therefore on the livelihood of society especially in water scarce countries such the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Approach: The aim of this study was to explore changes in the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) using data from 27 weather stations through years 1980-2008 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSensitivity of Fish Landings to Some Meteorological Parameters: A Case StudyMadihah Jafar-Sidik, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: A widely held belief that climate change has impacts on sustainable fish catch leads us to find out how these effects influence fish landings in Sabah, Malaysia, especially for the west and east coasts, based upon monsoonal periods. Correlation of fish landings with rainfall suggests that local fish landing is believed to be sensitive to the effects of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,433 accessesView PDFCite
