    Assessing changes of carbon stock in dipterocarp forest due to hydro-electric dam construction in Malaysia
    (Springer, 2021) Hayana Dullah; Marlinda Abdul Malek; Hamdan Omar; Sajjad Ali Mangi; Marlia Mohd Hanafiah
    Deforestation and forest degradation are among the leading global concerns, as they could reduce the carbon sink and sequestration potential of the forest. The impoundment of Kenyir River, Hulu Terengganu, Malaysia, in 1985 due to the development of hydropower station has created a large area of water bodies following clearance of forested land. This study assessed the loss of forest carbon due to these activities within the period of 37 years, between 1972 and 2019.

    Suitability of ANN applied as a hydrological model coupled with statistical downscaling model: a case study in the northern area of Peninsular Malaysia
    (Springer, 2015) Zulkarnain Hassan; Supiah Shamsudin; Sobri Harun; Marlinda Abdul Malek; Nuramidah Hamidon
    The increase in global surface temperature in response to the changing composition of the atmosphere will significantly impact upon local hydrological regimes and water resources. This situation will then lead to the need for an assessment of regional climate change impacts. The objectives of this study are to determine current and future climate change scenarios using statistical downscaling model (SDSM) and to assess climate change impact on river runoff using artificial neural network (ANN) and identification of unit hydrographs and component flows from rainfall, evaporation and streamflow data (IHACRES) models, respectively.
