Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM) is a complex mixture of chemical constituents emitted from various emission sources or through secondary reactions/processes; however, PM is regulated mostly based on its total mass c...
In mountainous regions, rainfall can be extremely variable in space and time. The need to simulate rainfall time series at different scales on one hand and the lack of recording such parameters in small scales because of administrative and economic p...

Over the last few years, the uses of artificial intelligence techniques (AI) for modeling daily reference evapotranspiration (ET) have become more popular and a considerable amount of models were successfully applied to the problem. Therefore, in the...
An investigation is presented to improve on the performances of the Basic DRASTIC Framework (BDF) and its variation by the Fuzzy-Catastrophe Framework (FCF), both of which provide an estimate of intrinsic aquifer vulnerabilities to anthropogenic cont...
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Aug 11, 2018
Fine particulate matter (PM) has been recognized as a key air pollutant that can influence population health risk, especially during extreme cases such as wildfires. Previous studies have applied geospatial techniques such as land use regression to m...
