"Geologic, climatic, and anthropogenic controls on the morphology of the Progo River in Indonesia, and their implications for river management strategies"
The study examined the geologic, climatic, and anthropogenic factors that influence morphological changes along the Progo River, in the Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) Province, Indonesia, highlighting the impacts of river morphological changes on... Read more.PhD in Environmental Science (University of the Philippines Los Baños)"Modeling drought hazard and risk in a changing climate: The case of Cai-Phan Rang River basin in the South-Central Coast of Vietnam"
Drought is a naturally occurring event associated with a significant decrease in water availability over a region. Changes in hydrological conditions in the area, such as climatic changes, particularly in rainfall patterns, can trigger droughts and...

Intercropping and relay cropping can increase nutrient use efficiency (NUE), land equivalent ratio (LER) and net income per unit area of land. The relay cropping and intercropping were performed at Laguna and Nueva Ecija, respectively with five...

Rice (Oryza sativa) is the main source of calories for over half of the world's population. Rice diversity is large and has been shaped by natural selection and domestication. Part of it has been the basis of breeding programs for creating modem...
