Determining mineral prospecting targets is crucial for prediction and evaluation. In this study, an evaluation index system solid exploration metallogenic target assessment was established using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Naoniushan area (China). Furthermore, integrated model combining geology–aerogeophysics–geochemistry developed copper, lead, zinc, silver, other polymetallic deposits. The information content of each in reasonably assigned, central southern parts Daxinganling were recommended. By focusing on copper area, paper demonstrates that AHP method can comprehensively consider various influencing factors their interactions, realize a reasonable division optimal target, reflect key affecting to certain extent. Importantly, approach reduces influence human subjective factors, optimization results are objective scientifically grounded.

In this study, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to generate erosion susceptibility maps in four basins of Kalat-e-Naderi county, namely Archangan, Kalat, Qaratigan, and Chahchaheh basins, situated northeast Iran. The region characterized by a partial coverage loess. Given agricultural significance loess its erosion, research focuses specifically on regions covered Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, including ArcMap Quantum (QGIS), were utilized facilitate creation maps. Seven factors, slope, aspect, elevation, drainage density, lithology, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), precipitation selected for consideration. Recognizing variability vegetation cover across different seasons, seasonal data specified factors employed. Consequently, generated basis. Pairwise comparison tables revealed that precipitation, slope emerged as dominant contributing region. resultant distinctly delineate with higher values, unresistant lithology (such loess, high porosity permeability), steeper slopes, exhibiting heightened (Archangan Kalat basins). credibility findings was examined through on-site observations. outcomes study may provide pertinent insights decision-makers planners. This information can be effectively employed formulating strategies aimed at conserving soil quality areas vulnerable hazards.

The rapid deglaciation in the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) significantly impacts local landscapes, watersheds, and basin-wide hydrology. While creating new opportunities, such as emerging landscapes hydrological changes, simultaneously heightens risk of glacio-hydrological hazards adjacent downstream regions. With limited available land for agriculture settlements, communities around glaciers expand human activities toward newly formed floodplains deglaciating valleys, necessitating a comprehensive understanding associated risks vulnerabilities. This study employs Geographical Information System (GIS) Remote Sensing products multicriteria susceptibility assessment Shigar Valley, located major Himalayan – Baltoro (63 km) Biafo (67 glaciers. research reveals that 28.3% valley is highly susceptible to multiple hazards, emphasizing urgency informed decision-making region. Only 0.03% area lies very low category, 9.7% susceptible, 60.6% moderately 1.04% categories. These findings highlight need proactive measures, adaptive strategies, sustainable development Valley mitigate escalating posed by changing patterns.

Rainfall-induced soil erosion is a significant environmental issue that can lead to degradation and loss of vegetation. The estimated global annual increased by 2.5% over 11 years, from 35 billion tons in 2001 35.9 2012, mainly due spatial changes. Indonesia predicted be among the largest most intensively eroded regions countries with higher erosion, regarded as hot-spots than 20 Mg yr−1 ha−1. Due climate change, natural rainfall patterns tropical have been subject lower number rainy days intensity precipitation. Such changes trigger more heavier kicking up dried particles are exposed bare embankments. Unfortunately, there no prevention available developing lack availability high prices mitigation techniques such terraces covering areas geotextiles or blankets. Erosion control blankets (ECBs) emerged potential solution mitigate erosion. This research article aims evaluate effectiveness sugar-palm-fiber-based ECB reducing caused rainfall. study investigates sugar-palm-based protecting against at designated embankment. During three months typical seasons (February April 2023), total mass (kg) was collected measured two adjacent microplots (10 m2 each), one covered other left uncovered (bare soil). results indicate proportional rainfall, coefficients 0.4 0.04 for ECB-covered embankments, respectively. recorded during monitoring period 154.6 kg 16.7 soil, significantly efficiency 90% reduction losses achieved slope ECB. reason this may attributed intrinsic surface properties sugar palm fiber ropes characteristics plot area. Sugar (Arenga pinnata) has lignocellulosic contents produce perfect combination strong mechanical (higher tensile strength young modulus) resistance weathering processes. Although cost production handmade now 4 EUR, further reductions introducing machinery. Compared ECBs which smaller openings, larger openings allow vegetation grow provide it density. As such, we recommend improvements quality palm-fiber-based via introduction automation process, so price reduced line commercially fibers jute coir.

Soil erosion, one of the most serious phenomena in watershed management, can be estimated based on various criteria. Land use change is important factors affecting susceptibility soil erosion. In this study, effect land erosion risk two plan periods (2005 and 2017) was investigated using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for forest planning units Doğancı Dam Watershed, located Bursa, Türkiye. Eight criteria were evaluated including erosion-related slope, bedrock type, use/land cover, precipitation, relative relief, aspect, drainage frequency, density. According to results, effective factor slope (0.29), while type cover ranked second with 0.19. It found that full closure forests characterized by high resistance (0.3), bare as sensitive area (0.39). terms spatio-temporal changes a 12-year period, areas medium decreased, low very low-risk increased. The ROC method showed satisfactory accuracy 72.8% 80.2% 2005 2017 maps, respectively.
