    Abstract: In this paper, we proposed a novel 2-dimensional (2D) distribution model based on the maximum-entropy (ME) principle to predict the joint return period under ocean extremes. In detail, we first derive the joint probability distribution of the extreme wave heights and the extreme water-levels during a typhoon by using the maximum-entropy principle, ... Show More

    Abstract: The rapid phase of urbanization and infrastructure development in Bhutan has been observed recently. This leads to causing of decrease in vegetation cover and growth in urban sprawl undergoing rapid land use/land cover change (LULC). This paper attempts to analyze the temporal and spatial patterns of LULC change and detects the urbanization process... Show More

    Abstract: Water regime in the lower course of the Neretva River (Bosnia and Herzegovina) is very complex because of the downstream side impact and built hydropower system with the upstream side. Sea inflow into the aquifer and the surface flows of the valley depends on the amount of flow of fresh water from the basin. In the dry season, when inflows from the... Show More
