(Jansen and Herganten, 2006). In addition, rock glaciers can serve as a visible indicator of mountain permafrost (Barsch, 1977 and Haeberli, 1985). Permafrost phenomena in mountain areas are a function of: Mean Annual Air Temperature (MAAT), and elevation, direct solar radiation, local relief and topography, snow cover thickness and duration, and avalanche activity (Heaberli, 1992). As a critical zone, rock glacier landform focuses on the interconnected chemical, physical and biological processes

Advances in digital photography have increased quality of this imaging and allowed us to observe far more then before. Riparian zones are continuously changing due to many different factors. Acquiring frequent imaging to observe the changes is very important to study

disasters remains a pioneering activity. However the circulation of the technology is still hindered by many issues such as the difficulty in obtaining the appropriate raw data, the lack of effective graphical user interfaces, the intricacy of predictive models and the expense of digitisation (Carrara et al., 1999). Natural disasters are becoming more frequent around the world, as seen in figure 1, which shows that in 1975 there were approximately 50 disasters

The annual trends of glacial length and area of many glaciers in the Andes have fluctuated over time. Masiokas et al. (2009) reviewed glacial fluctuations over the last 1,000 years and found that in the Central Andes, glaciers retreated throughout the twentieth century. They also found that after the little ice age (LIA), most glaciers in Southern Patagonia retreated and that has continued until today. Masiokas et al. (2009) also noticed isolated advances during the first half of the past millennium

Education/Training This particular positon requires multiple education and training accomplishments. A Bachelor's degree in Computer Information science, with a minor in business provides the student with the required knowledge of technology and the knowledge of business. This could also be reversed. Obtaining a business degree with concentration on informational technology could also apply. Obtain individuals obtain a Master’s Degree in Business administration or Information Systems and Operations

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Natural resources play a critical role in the welfare of developing countries (Huizing etal, 2002). For many developing countries, natural resources are the base upon which all life depends. However, many developing countries have experienced and continue to experience severe degradation of their natural resources. Expansion in technology, population and economic activities have led to accelerated and unsustainable exploitation and depletion of natural

Land-Cover Segregation of Coastal Area using K-Means Algorithm Manjari Saha Computer Science and Engg. Dept., Govt. College of Engineering and Textile Technology, Serampore, Hooghly, West Bengal, PIN-712201. India. E-Mail: cmanjari@gmail.com Abstract Coastal areas provide livelihood facilities to many and also offer vast recreational and economic activities, and yet, at the same time, such eco-regions require to be managed with special emphasis and consideration of its natural and cultural resources

3.2 Incorporation of Remote Sensing Remote sensing and GIS technologies were initially developed for different purposes. However, both these resources can provide information about the earth 's natural resources. Advancements in computer hardware and software technology now make it possible for data from these sources to be easily integrated. Most GIS software packages allow remotely sensed data to be imported, or at least viewed, within the software application. This ability allows the analyst to

ability to variety of diseases. (Stalder et al. 2012) Some of the biological consequences of such arousal were first identified by Selye (1956) as the General Adaptation Syndrome. Selye noted t h a t a principal characteristic of this response is an elevation in cortisol level. As a result of this early work and of more recent laboratory-based research, cortisol is now often regarded a s a "stress hormone" and as an objective marker of stress (Baum et al., 1982).
