    Analisis Hubungan antara Perubahan Iklim dan Perubahan Guna Tanah menggunakan Peta Guna Tanah ESA CCI dalam Lembangan Sungai Kelantan, Malaysia
    (Penerbit UKM, 2022) Yi Lin Tew; Mou Leong Tan; Kwok Pan Chun; Narimah Samat; Mohd Amirul Mahamud
    Climate and land use land cover (LULC) are two major key drives that affect the hydrological cycle pattern within a river basin. This study aims to evaluate the capability of the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative land cover (ESA CCI LC) product in representing land use pattern in Sungai Kelantan Basin (KRB), Malaysia; to analyze the changes of rainfall, maximum and minimum temperatures of the KRB from 1979 to 2018; and to assess the relationships between climate and land use changes within KRB.

    Assessing land use land cover changes in Langkawi island: towards sustainable urban living
    (Environmental Management Society Malaysia, 2010) Narimah Samat
    Simulating future urban growth might be useful in predicting the future urban fabric and its impact on the society, space and environment. This approach, however, needs to be undertaken with care such that it requires fundamental understanding of past and present situation. At present, urban area in developing nation is experiencing rapid urbanization and undergoing physical transformation, since majority of its population lives in urban area. It is therefore, essential that urban planners and managers understand the past and present land use land cover changes in order to predict its impacts on the society, economy and environment of the cities. This study aims to explore and assess land use land cover changes in Langkawi Island, Malaysia which has experienced significant increase of population during the last decade mainly due to the growth in tourism sector.

    SouthEast Asia HydrO-meteorological droughT (SEA-HOT) framework: A case study in the Kelantan River Basin, Malaysia
    (Elsevier, 2020) Mou Leong Tan; Liew Juneng; Fredolin T. Tangang; Narimah Samat; Ngai Weng Chan; Zulkifli Yusop; Sheau Tieh Ngai
    A holistic framework was introduced to project the potential hydro-meteorological droughts of the Kelantan River basin, Malaysia. The framework integrates the multi-model high-resolution climate projections of the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment – Southeast Asia (CORDEX-SEA) and the widely applied Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The quantile mapping approach was used to reduce the biases in the CORDEX-SEA projections before applying into SWAT. The SWAT-simulated standardized streamflow index (SSI) was validated with observed data to check the capability of SWAT in drought estimation.
