Análise multicriterial para avaliação da susceptibilidade à ocorrência de quedas de blocos na vertente noroeste da serra da Meruoca, Ceará, Brasil by Adisson Souza Tavares, Frederico de Holanda Bastos

“…From the results it was identified that most of the basin has a very low and low susceptibility level (46%), being these the lower portions close to the exutory already on the erosive surfaces surrounding the massif, in addition to the alveolar plains, with colluvium-alluvial deposit, located on the elevated surfaces of the mountain range. The most susceptible classes, on the other hand, make up about 1/3 of the area, being environments that are not favorable to human occupation, very influenced by the high declivities, preferably located on the massif slopes.…”

Spatial and Temporal Variation Characteristics of Drought in Guizhou Province Based on VCI and Division of Arid Regions by DAI Renli, ZHONG Jiusheng

“…Due to its unique dual hydrological structure of surface water and groundwater and typical karst low mountain and hilly landform area,the agricultural ecological environment of Guizhou Province is extremely fragile,and it is prone to agricultural disasters caused by meteorological factors,leading to reduced agricultural production.This paper calculates the VCI of Guizhou Province from 2001 to 2018 by remote sensing technology,explores the agricultural drought situation in Guizhou Province,divides the spatial distribution of seasonal arid regions in Guizhou Province with ArcGIS spatial overlay analysis,and analyzes the VCI trend characteristics of Guizhou Province through the unary linear trend method.The results show that:①The seasonal and inter-annual VCI in Guizhou Province generally show a downward trend,most obviously in karst areas,followed by non-karst areas;②Guizhou Province's seasonal droughts are mainly spring and winter droughts,and dry karst areas is a drought-prone area;③The drought time characteristics of Guizhou Province are mainly seasonal continuous drought and three-season continuous drought.…”
