Evolution Of Vegetation

The retrospective study based on aerial photos (1971–2001) of the Canton Tessin made it possible to measure and analyze the evolution of the vegetation of eleven Alpine zones. The analysis shows a strong expansion of the arborescent vegetation and, at the same time, a decrease in other forms of ground cover (bush, shrub, meadow and unproductive spaces). Analysis of the data gives rise to the conjecture that the strong evolutionary dynamism evidenced by the areas under investigation is a result of the vast clearings carried out in past centuries to create pastures. Following the subsequent decrease in human pressure, nature today is attempting to rebalance the level of the biomass. These processes manifest themselves in different ways and with various intensity, depending on the interaction of numerous factors (e.g. climatic conditions, site fertility, initial conditions, evolution of anthropological pressure, etc.).

<p>During volcanic unrest, multiple subsurface processes can happen simultaneously and may lead to an eruption. The analysis of seismic records in an unrest period before an eruption reveals information about the pre-eruptive processes and might be able to provide hints for a possible future eruption.</p><p>The 2014–2015 Holuhraun eruption was the largest one in Iceland in 230 years. It was extensively monitored and studied in a variety of multidisciplinary research approaches. Intense seismicity and ground deformation were interpreted as magma propagation from Bárðarbunga volcano 48 km laterally at ∼6 km depth over two weeks before an eruption started at Holuhraun. Different processes including vertical and lateral magma migration, dike propagation, caldera subsidence, and subglacial eruptions happened in this period and some models linking these processes are suggested. In the two-week interval preceding the eruption, there is still no clear connection between the observed tremor and pre-eruptive processes. Both the tremor source location and tremor generation process are not well understood yet. While cauldrons as a sign of subglacial eruptions were identified on the glacier surface from aerial photos, these cauldrons might have been formed earlier and there is hence an uncertainty of a few days. A tremor location might help to constrain these dates. However, the simultaneous occurrence of intense seismicity and tremor hinders the study and location of tremor. Here, we use a recent volcanic tremor extraction algorithm (Zali et al., 2020) and extract pre-eruptive tremor signals in order to better locate them using the Seismic Amplitude Ratio Analysis (SARA) method. Furthermore, the occurrence of the tremor could open new insights into ascending magma and fluid migration as well as the timing and duration of the subglacial eruptions.</p><p>We also observed short-lived tremors before the eruptions on August 29 and 31, which could be considered as eruption precursors. The primary investigation on the extracted tremor signals is promising while further analysis is on-going.</p>

Abstract. The aim of this study is to quantify the actual urbanization activity near the catchment area in the urban area of interest located in the vicinity of the Agriokalamin River area of Kissonerga Village in Paphos District. Remotely sensed data such as aerial photos, Landsat-5/7 TM/ETM+ and Quickbird image data have been used to track the urbanization activity from 1963 to 2008. In-situ GPS measurements have been used to locate in-situ the boundaries of the catchment area. The results clearly illustrate that tremendous urban development has taken place ranging from 0.9 to 33% from 1963 to 2008, respectively. A flood risk assessment and hydraulic analysis were also performed.
