    Abstract: The general tendencies of sea level and geomagnetic polarity evolution represented by their respective poly-nomial trend lines are metrically congruent and roughly coincident at the first order and prevailingly at the second order periodicities. Our analysis reveals chronological correlation of sea level highs and lows with the quiet and agitated s... Show More

    Abstract: Now a days Tsunami is occurring very frequently in all over the word. So it is essential to predict it very earlier before the arrival of Tsunami in order to save many lives. The earthquake can be predicted in three different terms: short- term, intermediate-term, and the long-term. The two major methods of prediction are Geophysical precursors and... Show More

    Abstract: Watershed degradation due to soil erosion and sedimentation is one of the major environmental problems in Iran. With respect to the relatively suitable compatibility of MPSIAC model to the arid and semiarid conditions of Iran and lack of hydrometric station in region, we employed the "modified PSIAC model" to estimating of sediment yield and provid...
