The aim of this research is studying the possibility of upwelling occurrence in the Iranian coastal area of Oman Sea. The occurrence of such a unique phenomenon near the coastal area of Jask made it a suitable subject to the study. To achieve this aim ArcGIS and MIKE3 softwares were employed. Year 2016 was considered for this research. Using ArcGIS techniques the patterns of prevailed wind, sea surface temperature, and concentrated chlorophyll-a using satellite remote measurement data for the area under investigation were taken into consideration. These plots confirm the probability of occurrence of upwelling in the area. For the simulation with MKE3, irregular mesh was designated as horizontal grids. In the vertical direction sigma layer stratification with 10 layers were chosen. After calibrating the model, results derived from the simulation were analyzed around Jask headland. The results indicate the existence of an upwelling during transition period of monsoon (October and November). This was simultaneous with the prevailed wind in the southwestern coast of Oman Sea.

Reduced transfer time results in increased levels of service to citizens and their satisfaction would increase consequently. To this end، using new and improved routing algorithms and localizing them in urban areas، considering their scope and extent، can be efficient in urban management and relief sectors. The purpose of this study is to look at the operation of the routing algorithms، including Genetic and Ant colony and due to the size of the city conduct a research to optimize the routing by using Game theory algorithm in the software ArcGis. Therefore، programs written for routing with Genetic algorithm، Ant colony and Game theory were called for in the software ArcGis and then used for routing. The results showed lack of spatial information database shared between rescue squads makes their services impossible in the least amount of time and if spatial databases are made and used، due to the small size of the city of Semnan، the time to achieve an optimal route by ArcGis using Game theory algorithm would be shorter compared with other algorithms. Therefore، the time for the Genetic theory، Game theory and Ant colony are 0. 27، 0. 23 and 0. 19 ms. respectively. Time to reach the crash site، using the routing by ArcGis program with Genetic algorithm، Ant colony and Game theory are 3 minutes and 5 seconds، 3 minutes and 15 seconds، and 2 minutes and 42 seconds، respectively.

Geoconservation outcomes are hindered by highly subjective and conflicting criteria, varying assessment objectives, disparities in geoconservation strategy steps and the inadequate capturing and representation of geological data in dynamically changing inventories. Review shows that geoconservation outcomes are further hindered by the exclusion of quantitative geodiversity assessment from geoconservation strategies. A geoconservation toolkit is presented using the ArcGIS mobile apps QuickCapture, Survey123 and Explorer to consolidate the steps in achieving geoconservation outcomes. The toolkit closed the theoretical gap between geodiversity assessment and geoconservation strategies and attenuated the discrepancies in geoconservation strategy protocols. Preliminary research suggests the inclusion of geodiversity in geoconservation strategies will benefit geoconservation outcomes by providing scholars with a proxy to predict inventorying and geoheritage values, conservation exigencies and site complexity. The toolkit consolidated separate geoconservation strategies by unifying individual steps into one distinctive process leading to streamlined inventorying, geodiversity and geoheritage assessment. ArcGIS QuickCapture facilitated challenges in managing dynamically changing inventories by providing a fast and streamlined approach to the capturing of geodiversity information and locations. ArcGIS Survey123 facilitated the amalgamation of steps in geodiversity and geoheritage assessment and inventorying. ArcGIS Survey123 also facilitated the introduction of a suitability analysis tool to objectively manage and select existing geoheritage and inventorying criteria. Subsequent research would augment this study and its findings by determining whether statistical correlations exist between geodiversity and associated inventory and geoheritage values. Ensuing research would then seek expert advice on the standardisation of which strategies, criteria, methodologies, and processes to include in an all-encompassing third-party mobile GIS application to complement the toolkit concept in this study.

Iran has been extensively studied over the last decades because its territory offers the rare opportunity to observe and quantify how the convergence between two plates Arabia and Eurasia has been accommodated from its onset to its present-day continuation, i.e., continental collision within Iran. Additionally, Iran is the site of frequent devastating earthquakes, and it is thus of critical importance to understand how those earthquakes emerge from the overall tectonics that affects the Iranian territory. All principal seismogenic faults in eastern Iran are known and their recent to current activity is not in dispute. Abiz fault is one of most active fault in Iran. It is plausible that at present the region is experiencing a temporal clustering of large magnitude earthquakes, just as the Dasht-e-Bayaz and the Abiz faults in northern and northeastern Lut Block. The earthquake took place on the right-lateral Abiz fault. The surface trace on the ground was measured at 125km for a horizontal displacement of 2.3m and a vertical one of 0.9 so a total one of 3m. The rupture length can be considered as the greatest one in the entire earthquake database done here. Nevertheless, the magnitude and the displacements are not the greatest one. The magnitude was reported as 7.3. Previous earthquakes in 1936 and 1979 occurred on the fault but did not break more than 2 segments each time. One of the major challenges in assessing potential seismic hazards is to reliably identify regions of preferred upper crustal deformation. Landform morphometrics and the respective tectonomorphic indices can be used as basic reconnaissance tools of tectonic activity which can indicate areas at risk. The qualitative and quantitative descriptions of landform development are used to identify areas dominated by rapid tectonic deformation or erosion on a local scale. In this paper, the relative active tectonic of the Abiz fault has been discussed according to the geomorphic indices using ArcGIS software. Measured indices are stream length-gradient index (SL), ratio of valley floor width to valley height ratio (Vf), Asymmetry factor (AF), index of drainage basin shape (Bs), Hypsometric curve (HC), Hypsometric integral (Hi), River sinuosity index (S), index of mountain front sinuosity (Smf). The fast evolution of digital elevation models (DEM) provides an ideal base for remotely sensed morphotectonic studies of large areas using Geographical Information Systems (GIS). However, a manual extraction of the above mentioned morphologic parameters may be tedious and very time consuming. Moreover, basic GIS software suites do not provide the necessary built-in functions. Therefore, we present a newly developed, Python based, ESRI ArcGIS compatible tool and stand-alone script, the Morpho Tool. This tool facilitates an automated extraction of the Vf-ratio and the Hc-factor data for large regions. Other factors was calculated manually. Using a digital elevation raster and watershed polygon files as input, the tool provides output in the form of several ArcGIS data tables and shape files, ideal for further data manipulation and computation. This coding enables an easy application among the ArcGIS user community and code conversion to earlier ArcGIS versions. As basic data set we use a freely available 90 m resolution Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM of a 800 x 300 km large area of the study area. Using this DEM, we perform several preprocessing tasks using ArcGIS (ESRI), including the ArcHydro extension. These preprocessing tasks include the detection and removal of cells with undefined drainage values (sink cells). Next, watershed areas are delineated by stream flow analysis, along selected mountain fronts, and stored as a polygon shape file. To enable proper distance measurements, all initial files, the watershed shape file and DEM of the study area, are converted to the projected coordinate system WGS 1984 Zone 40S. Using the result of indices, index of relative active tectonic (IRAT) calculated as well. The results show that the Abiz fault relative tectonic activity index falls into three group. From Southeast to the Northwest: they are a) the areas between North of Zeidan to South West of Ahangaran, b) West of Hajiabad to South Nodeh and c) East of Esfad to East of Fandokht. The lowest IRAT values are located in Ardekul and Kalshur. Because of flat topography in Kalshir area, it’s not possible to sense some of morphotectonical indices, so the numeric values are low.

In the current study, thunderstorm occurrence data taking from 17 synoptic stations with the longest periods (from 1956 to 2005) have been analyzed to identify the associated spatial and temporal changes in the western part of Iran. First, to provide an initial statement of thunderstorm conditions in the study area, average days with thunderstorm have been mapped using ArcGIS software. Then, thunderstorm trends were established using statistical methods, by applying two of well-known non-parametric Mann-Kendall and Sen's Estimator methods. Both estimators demonstrate excellent performance in the modeling of thunderstorm occurrence over time, regarding the discrete climatic data. Some spatial distributions of thundery days with significant trend were mapped in a ArcGIS setting on the subject of seasonal and annual time series. Final models determine that the number of days with thunderstorm is not homogeneous in some parts of the study area, since the thundery days decrease from the north to the south, showing an increasing trend in seasonal and annual scales consistently in the yearly extent.

This article defines the conceptual model and specifies effective regulations in locating specific schools and related information with each of those schools and their preparation. Then the map data and descriptive information have been compiled in ArcGIS software. In the next step, the existing information was analyzed and evaluated through ArcGIS software. Using Boolean and Fuzzy logic, primary schools were analyzed and the schools which were located against the criteria of locating or are in incompatible user privacy were recognized. The results from analysis show that practical recommendations for improving primary schools in these two regions have been provided.

Simulation of the hydraulic behaviour of the river basin boundaries is important for river engineering projects, prediction of flood damages in different conditions and economic feasibility studies, flood control, and other social programs related to the system of the river. In this study, river bed and flood zoning map in the range of over 155 km from the Zayandehrud dam to Nekouabad Diversion Dam were addressed by using the software's ArcGIS, HEC-RAS and HEC-GeoRAS extension. For this purpose, a digital elevation map in 1: 250,000 scale was provided and cross-sectional area was divided in 1085. Manning roughness coefficient was determined by Cowan. Finally, data entered into the software HEC-RAS and was analysed. After determining the area of flood in the return periods of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 years in all cross sections, the results were entered into the ArcGIS environment and flood zoning maps were obtained. The results showed that of the 200-year flood lands, 96% of the land flood was related to the return period of 25 years.

The request to improve electric supply in Eritrea has motivated the country to look for alternative energy resources to enhance existing power. Eritrea, being in tropics, is well situated to harvest solar energy to improve its power supply status. Although several solar energy projects have been initiated, very small has been done in the country. Therefore, this research paper aims to evaluate and investigate the regional solar energy potential (SEP) in Eritrea using remote sensing data and ArcGIS applications. The digital elevation model (DEM) data was adopted to estimate the SEP and suitability of energy in the country. In addition, areal solar radiation method is applied in ArcGIS 9.3 to extract the SEP and to evaluate suitability of this energy for the development of photovoltaics (PVs) power. The results revealed that approximately 69.03%, and 30.96% of the country was excellent and highly suitable to harness SEP, respectively, and only about 0.004% was considered as unsuitable. Therefore, this research may be useful as reference for future study and to motivate the country to improve its power supply using this alternative energy.
