Among which, erosion intensity is defined by erosion coefficient (K<sub>e</sub> - %) and erosion width (B<sub>e</sub> - m) at measuring time. With the coefficient is the ration between total erosion lenght at measuring time and the length of the studied segment. The annual pace of </em><em>erosion</em><em> V<sub>e</sub> (m/year) is measured by the width of erosion each year or each flood. From this motive scale and results of surveys and monitorings in the field, it is possible to assess and propose the basic comments associated with the eroion motive of rivers in the mid-central part of Vietnam. This is expected will be very useful for following studyings of geological hazards.</em> Đỗ Quang Thiên Copyright (c) 2017 Hue University Journal of Science (HU JOS) https://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/TCKHDHH/article/view/1883 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000 ASSESSING THE STUDY OF CLIMATE CHANGE TREND IN VIETNAM: A CASE STUDY IN DANANG CITY https://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/TCKHDHH/article/view/1957 <p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong><em></em></p> <p><em>This paper aims to present the results of trend analysis of climate change in Vietnam, a typical case study in Danang City. With the use of statistical analysis by non-parametric Mann-Kendall test, the research conducted the test of climate change trend based on the review process of precipitation and temperature trends.</em> <em>The results were evaluated based on the statistical analysis at the 0.05 level by ProUCL 4.1 software. The research has shown clear signs of climate change related to precipitation and temperature factors. The general situation of precipitation change in Danang had the upward trend in observed time series (p &lt;0.05). For each specific season, there exists increasing trend of the precipitation in January, March, August and decreasing trend in June of observed period. According to the scenario in 2100, the average precipitation in Danang will increase about 1.04% in comparison with the period 1980 – 1999. Regarding the temperature factor and based on the results of the Mann-Kendall test, the June’s average temperature in Danang will increase about 0.315<sup>0</sup>C in every ten years. Therefore, the urgent solutions are required to reduce and adapt to climate change. </em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> Climate change, trend, precipitation, temperature, Mann-Kendall.</em></p> Lê Văn Thăng Copyright (c) 2017 Hue University Journal of Science (HU JOS) https://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/TCKHDHH/article/view/1957 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000 THERMAL REMOTE SENSING METHOD IN DETECT AND MONITORING SUBSURFACE COAL FIRE IN KHANH HOA COAL MINE, THAI NGUYEN PROVINCE https://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/TCKHDHH/article/view/2190 <h3>The Khanh Hoa coal mine is a surface coal mine in the Thai Nguyen province, which is one of the largest deposits of coal in the Vietnam. In recent years due to many reasons such as backward mining techniques and unauthorized mining caused subsurface coal fire in this area. Coal fire is a dangerous phenomenon which affects the environment seriously by releasing toxic fumes which causes forest fires, and subsidence of infrastructure surface. This article presents study on the application of LANDSAT multi – temporal thermal infrared images, which help to detect coal fire. The results obtained in this study can be used to monitor fire zones so as to give warnings and solutions to prevent coal fire.</h3> Trịnh Lê Hùng Copyright (c) 2017 Hue University Journal of Science (HU JOS) https://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/TCKHDHH/article/view/2190 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000 RESEARCHING AND ZONING SOIL SALINIZATION RISK IN THE COASTAL PLAIN OF THUA THIEN HUE PROVINCE https://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/TCKHDHH/article/view/2404 The coastal plain of Thua Thien Hue province covers an area of 1,080 km<sup>2</sup>, which is susceptible to soil salinization due to significant impacts by climate change. In this study area with highly sensitive risk of soil salinization, about 6.290 hectares of saline soil scattered distribution tends to increase terrestrial areas in the next time. To assess and map risk of soil salinization, the authors chose 09 criteria including: annually average rainfall, annually average temperature, annually average evaporation, number of sunny hours, number of months of dry season, soil type, vegetation cover, density of river network, submerged areas following the strategies of sea level rise. The spatial data for determing criteria were processed by using GIS (Geographic Information System) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The study results show that the area with the high risk of soil salinization is about 16.4% of total area located in the coastal region of Phu Vang, Quang Dien and Phong Dien district.

The results showed that the contents of all heavy metals in soil samples didn’t exceed the permissible levels according to GB 15618:1995 and QCVN 03:2008/MONRE. These were accordance with soil assessment by pollution load index (PLI). Similarly, the contents of Zn, Pb, and Cr in Indian mustard and lettuce’s leaves at Tuy Loan and Dien Minh were lower than permissible limits compared with GB13106-1991, GB 2762: 2005 and QCVN 8-2:2011/MOH. Most of the heavy metals contents in roots were higher than in leaves. For Indian mustard, the TF<sub>soil-root</sub> values of Zn and Cr from soil to root were higher than TF<sub>root-leaf</sub> values from the root to the leaf, which was in contrast with Pb. While, for lettuce, the TF<sub>soil-root</sub> values of Zn, and Pb were higher than TF<sub>root-leaf</sub>, which was in contrast with Cr. The results also indicated that there weren’t any risk to human health when using vegetables planted at these areas in daily meal (HI &lt; 1).</p> Doan Chi Cuong, Vo Van Minh, Phan Nhat Truong Copyright (c) 2017 Hue University Journal of Science (HU JOS) https://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/TCKHDHH/article/view/2532 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000 EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE, LIGHT ON THE GROWTH AND LIPID ACCUMULATION OF NANNOCHLOROPSIS OCULATA https://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/TCKHDHH/article/view/2641 <p align="center"><strong>Abstract</strong><em></em></p><p><em>N. oculata,</em><em> the micro-algae, has rapid growth rates, the ability to accumulate high levels of lipid and lipid composition suitable for producing biodiesel.

These minerals occur in both calcio- and ferrocarbonatites in various modes. Most of the fluorapatites in the calciocarbonatites are oblong to elongated, and have sharp contacts with calcite, aegirine and phlogopite suggesting their primary origin; whereas those in the ferrocarbonatites are commonly present in forms of stubby to perfect hexagonal prismatic crystals, which partly replaced by the monazite. The monazites in the ferrocarbonatites also occur as hundreds micro isolated crystals, which associated with ankerite, feldspar, magnetite and phlogopite.</p><p>Contents of fluor and rare earth elements (REE) are relatively high (F up to 4.26 wt.%; REE up to 5.19 wt.%) indicating a F- and REE-enriched precipitation for the carbonatites. The enrichment in light REEs in the fluorapatite is paired with an enrichment in Na, varying from 0.25 wt.% to 0.89 wt.%. The replacement of REE and Na for Ca in the fluorapatites, which leads to change in CaO/P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> ratios might show an open system where Ca and P are added to areas of the fluorapatite depleted in light REE (LREE). REE contents in the monazite show a very limited variation, and are mainly composed of La, Ce and Nd (La<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> = 21.09-22.72 wt.%, Ce<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> = 32.82-33.35 wt.%, Nd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> = 6.96-8.20 wt.% in calciocarbonatite; La<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> = 16.61-17.39 wt.%, Ce<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> = 32.07-33.52 wt.%, Nd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> = 8.92-10.94 wt.% in ferrocarbonatite). </p> Nguyễn Thị Thủy, Nguyễn Thị Hồng Nụ Copyright (c) 2017 Hue University Journal of Science (HU JOS) https://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/TCKHDHH/article/view/2756 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000 VULNERABILITY TO FLOODING AND COPING BEHAVIOR FOUND IN HOUSING CONDITION: A CASE STUDY IN VAN QUAT DONG VILLAGE, TAM GIANG LAGOON AREA, CENTRAL VIETNAM https://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/TCKHDHH/article/view/2911 <p>Vietnam is a country that is suffered from frequent natural disasters. The most common types of natural disasters experienced are typhoon and flood. From 1951 to 2010, there were 166 typhoons come to Vietnam, of which 67 % hit the central region, 25 % to the north and 8 % to the south of the country. Typhoons bring heavy rains and high tides which accelerate floods, particularly in the coastal and lagoon areas of Central Vietnam. Identification of vulnerability to flooding and coping behavior of local people is required in the efforts to strengthen local capacity related to livelihood security in the study area. This study aims at characterizing the vulnerability of housing condition to flooding and the coping behaviors of local people after experienced big floods in Tam Giang lagoon area, Central Vietnam. Measurement of house’s foundation, observation of types of housing, interview to collect information about the water level during the events of big floods, year of construction and change of people’s behavior after the 1999’s flood were conducted with 427 households in Van Quat Dong village where four big flooding occurred in 1983, 1999, 2007 and 2009 during the last 30 years. The study shows that the 1999’s flood was the biggest flood with water height reached to 148.7 ± 23.9 cmfrom house floor and 222.6 ± 15.4 cmfrom ground level. The households located in the eastern part of the village are recognized more vulnerable to flood due to the lower altitude. The temporary and semi-permanent houses, which share 77.0 % to the entire houses, are considered to be relatively vulnerable to flooding due to weak housing materials and low height of foundation. The houses which categorized to permanent and semi-permanent types constructed after the 1999’s flood have higher foundation than the other houses constructed before the 1999’s flood. The raising of foundation height of permanent and semi-permanent houses, as well as an increase in numbers of two-storey houses, are recognized to be a behavior of local people to cope with flooding. The study also shows the relationship between the poverty level and the coping behaviors of households. Some of poor households in the village are still not in good preparedness to flooding. It suggests that poverty level of household concerns to the vulnerability to flooding and, therefore, rural development assistance to improve household economy for poverty alleviation is required in the efforts to strengthen local capacity related to livelihood security.<strong></strong></p> Trần Thanh Đức Copyright (c) 2017 Hue University Journal of Science (HU JOS) https://jos.hueuni.edu.vn/index.php/TCKHDHH/article/view/2911 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000
