1. 1. Regional and local impacts of the ENSO and IOD events of 2015 and 2016 on the Indian Summer Monsoon - A Bhutan case study

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Katherine Power; [2021]
   Keywords : ENSO; Monsoon; IOD; Bhutan;

   Abstract : The Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) plays a vital role in the livelihoods and economy of those living on the Indian subcontinent, including the small, mountainous country of Bhutan. The ISM fluctuates over varying temporal scales and its variability is related to many internal and external factors including the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD).

3. 2. Spatial assessment of NDVI as an indicator of desertification in Ethiopia using remote sensing and GIS

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Gezahagn Negash Seboka; [2016]
   Keywords : NDVI and Rainfall; land degradation; climate change; desertification; NOAA AVHRR; land cover; GIS; Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Desertification is a serious environmental and socio-economic problem occurring at global, regional and local scale. According to Article 1(a) of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), define the term “desertification” means “land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid (dry lands) areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities”.
