refocused attention on the importance of hurricane warnings and associated decisions to evacuate. Evidence suggests that the timing of evacuation decisions and actual evacuation vary and are influenced by various behavioral, awareness and household characteristics. It is important to understand the influence of these factors on the household’s decision to evacuate and to actual evacuation, especially in relation to the timing of the official announcements of watch and warning. This study, therefore, empirically investigates the relationship of the social cues, source of information, access to channels, warning messages and household characteristics on pre-evacuation decision processes and both decisions to evacuate and actual evacuation. The Protective Action Decision Model framework was used to guide the data collection of Hurricane Rita (2005) evacuees from the coastal counties of Texas USA and to investigate if the characteristics of evacuees vary with the pre-watch, post-watch/pre-warning and post warning announcements. Multivariate regression was used to predict the probability to evacuate in one of these three time-periods using the evacuee responses for both; decisions to evacuate and actual evacuation. Preliminary investigation reveals that several households (e.g. licensed drivers), perception (e.g. risk of reaching destination safely) and behavioral variables (e.g., evacuating in multiple groups) influence the odds that a household would evacuate in post-warning and post-watch period in comparison to the pre-watch period. Recommendations to reduce delays and congestion from last minute evacuations and ensure the safety of not only the coastal residential populations but also emergency management personnel responding to their needs are offered. Recommendations are made to reduce delays and encourage earlier evacuation.

: The water resources shortage and water environment worsen have been becoming primary restraining factors to development of economy and society in Beijing- Tianjin- Hebei region. The evaluation of water resources carrying capacity is the key to regional water reasonable utilization. In this paper, according to the view of development of economy and society is supported by water resources, the eleven factors which mainly effect water resources carrying capacity have been selected as assessment indexes. An evaluation approach of research the effect on water resources carrying capacity by water transfer based on water quantity, water quality, water area and water flow has been established. The results indicate that the water carrying capacity are belong overloaded in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, especially in Tianjin and Beijing. The carrying press is mostly from water resources system, the water shortage is the major reason of water carrying capacity overloading in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and the per capita water resources is the key factor to regional water carrying capacity. The water transfer is certainly important to improve water carrying capacity in Beijing- Tianjin- Hebei region, especially for Beijing and Tianjin. In drought period, the results of improve water carrying capacity by water transfer is more evident, for example the water resources carrying capacity had been improved 13% in Tianjin through water transfer from Luan River and Yellow River to Tianjin in 2000, when is very dry year. The south water to north make water carrying capacity improve 5% in Beijing and Tianjin, respectively. It supply an foundation for water resources reasonable utilization in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to research of effect on water resources carrying capacity by water transfer, and it is also important to realize the harmony among water resources, economy and society in region.

Climate change caused by global warming, is a phenomenon partly resulting from abundance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon sequestration through forestry plantations has a potential in ameliorating global environmental problems such as atmospheric accumulation of carbon dioxide and related climate change. The aim of this study was to estimate carbon sequestered by commonly grown plantation species across different ages. Four tree species were selected for the present study. Total 36 sample plots were selected for estimation of selected tree plantation biomass. Biomass data was collected at different age intervals (5-10 years, 11-15 years and ≥ 16 years) of tree plantation species. At each age interval of tree plantation three sample plots were selected for each species. A plot of 20 m × 20 m was established randomly in all study sites. Diameter at breast height (DBH) of each tree (≥ 10 cm) within 20 m × 20 m sample plot was measured by using caliper and height of each tree was measured by using hypsometer. The litter samples where be collected from the four corners and at the center with sub-sample of 1 m × 1 m in each sample plot. Soils were sampled in the same sub sample plots as litter. Aboveground and belowground biomass was estimated using specific species allometric equation. Aboveground carbon of Eucalyptus saligna, Cupressus lusitanica, Grevillea robusta and Pinus patula were sequestered (38.74, 39.05, 23.49 and 7.27 t/ha) respectively. Below ground carbon content of Eucalyptus saligna, Cupressus lusitanica, Grevillea robusta and Pinus patula (10.07, 10.15, 6.11 and 1.89 t/ ha) respectively. According to this study Eucalyptus saligna (0.006 t/ha), Cupressus lusitanica (0.007 t/ha), Pinus patula (0.006 t/ha) and Grevillea robusta (0.006 t/ha) were sequestered comparable litter carbon content. The study showed that Eucalyptus saligna (10.85 t/ha), Cupressus lusitanica (10.87 t/ha), Pinus patula (10.67 t/ha) and Grevillea robusta (11.36 t/ha) were storage similar soil organic carbon. According to this study the total carbon content of Grevillea robusta was 40.98, Eucalyptus saligna 59.68, Pinus patula 19.83 and Cupressus lusitanica 60.08 t/ha. Eucalyptus saligna and Cupressus lusitanica were sequestered high carbon, followed by Grevillea robusta and Pinus patula respectively.

The Cevennes-Vivarais region in southern France frequently suffers from Heavy Precipitation Events (HPEs), especially during the autumn season. The northwestern Mediterranean Sea is a source of heat and moisture for these HPEs, with strong air sea exchanges, which are mainly controlled by the near-surface wind intensity and the Sea Surface Temperature (SST). The aim of this study is to characterize the SST structures, location and variability related to HPEs. Indeed, the Gulf of Lion is characterized by a cyclonic circulation with three main oceanic features: (1) the Northern Current (NC), (2) the Balearic Front (BF), (3) and the deep Convective Cell (CC). The MEDidterranean ReanalYsiS (MEDRYS1V2), an ocean reanalysis at 1/12A‹Âs resolution was used over the 2000-2011 period to identify the NC, BF and CC oceanic feature's locations and for the calculation of an SST index. Then, an unsupervised cluster analysis method, using Principle Component Analysis for dimension reduction and the Silhouette for clustering, was used 20 in order to determine the most typical periods. The Local Moran's I (LMI) spatial statistical method, was used to highlight the areas of significant temporal variability of SST, considering the periods defined with the clustering method. For each period [early autumn (August-September), October and late autumn (November-December)], the LMI values, only considering the HPE initial stage, are extracted and compared to the averaged LMI values. The results highlight that in August-September, the Rhone river outflow have the most significant effect on SST variability on average, same as during HPEs. In October, for the HPEs initial stage, the largest variability seems to be related to the effects of the Mistral and Tramontane wind. In later autumn, there is a southward displacement of the BF and CC patterns and during the HPEs initial stage, the most significant SST variability is found near the center of the CC.

This communication gives an explanation why the ideal gas law is sufficient to calculate the observed surface temperature of celestial bodies, if the mass density and the pressure of the respective atmospheres are known. The ideal gas law provides also a nice tool to check the experimental consistency of the parameters obtain by other measurements. But it does not permit to directly determine the radiative forcing.

One of the rapidly changing coastal landforms is shoreline. It is very necessary to understand exact detection and frequent monitoring of shorelines through coastal processes and changing aspects of various coastal features. The present study is emphasized at investigating the shoreline changes along the Ganjam Coast, South Coast of Odisha by using geospatial techniques. The survey of India topographic maps and Landsat images were primarily used to extract shoreline features using software’s like Erdas Imagine and Arc GIS. The present study area is the Ganjam coast which is located on the south coast of Odisha which is from Prayagi to Bahuda river mouth. The beach has been eroded particularly in the Ramayapatam and Podampeta coastal tract due to various coastal processes that has taken place; such variations in the coastal processes are recorded by Landsat images and true colour image (Google earth) and also by repetitive field survey at different coastal sectors. The nature and magnitude of erosion indicates the immediate effect of waves attacking the coast under the impact of the low-pressure systems over the sea and the long-term impact of the loss of equilibrium between the waves and the coastline under the impact of the regimes of changing climate and sea level rise.
