The 2019/20 Australian bushfires burned over 46 million acres of land, killed 34 people and left 3500 individuals homeless. Majority of deaths and buildings destroyed were in New South Wales, while the Northern Territory accounted for approximately 1/3 of the burned area. Many of the buildings that were lost were farm buildings, adding to the challenge of agricultural recovery that is already complex because of ash-covered farmland accompanied by historic levels of drought. The current research therefore aimed at characterising veldfire risk in the study area using Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI). A 39-year-long time series data was obtained from an online NASA database. Both homogeneity and stationarity tests were deployed using a non-parametric Pettitt’s and Dicky-Fuller tests respectively for data quality checks. Major results revealed a non-significant two-tailed Mann Kendall trend test with a p-value = 0.789 > 0.05 significance level. A suitable probability distribution was fitted to the annual KBDI time series where both Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Chi-square tests revealed Gamma (1) as a suitably fitted probability distribution. Return level computation from the Gamma (1) distribution using XLSTAT computer software resulted in a cumulative 40-year return period of moderate to high fire risk potential. With this low probability and 40-year-long return level, the study found the area less prone to fire risks detrimental to animal and crop production. More agribusiness investments can safely be executed in the Northern Territory without high risk aversion.

<p>The study of complex interactions between fire and atmospheric dynamics of the earth system is drawing increasing attention in recent years, especially when fire seasons are extended due to global warming, where the historical daily burnt area data played a pivotal role in analyzing wildfire regimes change. Existing products could not fully meet the temporal requirements: daily burnt area data in global fire emissions database (GFED4) starts from mid-2000 using MODIS while ESA Fire Climate Change Initiative (FireCCILT10) Dataset from 1982 to 2017 is provided on a monthly grid.</p><p>Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) series of sensors are widely used to develop pre‐MODIS daily historical records. However, compared to MODIS, the AVHRR sensor has a lower radiometric and geometric quality and is missing Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) band. To address the data quality problem, this research study presents a time-series mapping method for daily burned area using AVHRR composite. Daily fire-sensitive indices are calculated to develop a time-series data composite which is masked by the burnable surface of GLASS_GLC land cover product. Then, Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) time-series model, which originally implemented on Landsat data monitoring land cover change, is revised to detect an abrupt change in the time-series data composite and remove noise, ensuring temporal consistency. The image of a time-series breakpoint is further classified using a spatial contextual method to distinguish biomass burning from other forest degradation change like a landslide and is used to generate burned area probability map.</p><p>The methodology is verified in California, US, where fuel aridity increased during 1984–2015 driven by anthropogenic climate change. The samples are collected based on the National Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity(MTBS)Burned Areas Boundaries Dataset from 1984 – 2018 and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP) fire perimeters from since 1950. Primary results show that the proposed method can effectively detect burned area on daily basis with CCDC algorithm reducing the complexity of change detection.</p>

Exchange rate is one tool to measure a country’s economic conditions. The growth of a stable currency value indicates that the country has a relatively good economic conditions or stable. This study has the purpose to analyze the factors that affect the exchange rate of the Indonesian Rupiah against the United States Dollar in the period of 2000-2013. The data used in this study is a secondary data which are time series data, made up of exports, imports, inflation, the BI rate, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and the money supply (M1) in the quarter base, from first quarter on 2000 to fourth quarter on 2013. Regression model time series data used the ARCH-GARCH with ARCH model selection indicates that the variables that significantly influence the exchange rate are exports, inflation, the central bank rate and the money supply (M1). Whereas import and GDP did not give any influence.

The land deformation in line of sight (LOS) direction can be measured using time series InSAR. InSAR can successfully measure land subsidence based on LOS in many big cities, including the eastern and western regions of Bangkok which is separated by Chao Phraya River. There are differences in prosperity between both sides due to human activities, land use, and land cover. This study focuses on the land subsidence difference between the western and eastern regions of Bangkok and the most possible cause affecting the land subsidence rates. The Radarsat-2 single look complex (SLC) was used to set up the time series data for long term monitoring. To generate interferograms, StaMPS for Time Series InSAR processing was applied by using the PSI algorithm in DORIS software. It was found that the subsidence was more to the eastern regions of Bangkok where the vertical displacements were +0.461 millimetres and -0.919 millimetres on the western and the eastern side respectively. The districts of Nong Chok, Lat Krabang, and Khlong Samwa have the most extensive farming area in eastern Bangkok. Besides, there were also three major industrial estates located in eastern Bangkok like Lat Krabang, Anya Thani and Bang Chan Industrial Estate. By the assumption of water demand, there were forty-eight wells and three wells found in the eastern and western part respectively. The number of groundwater wells shows that eastern Bangkok has the demand for water over the west, and the pumping of groundwater is a significant factor that causes land subsidence in the area.Keywords: Subsidence, InSAR, Radarsat-2, Bangkok

It is alleged that the agricultural output in poor countries responds very little to movements in prices and costs because of subsistence-oriented produc¬tion and self-produced inputs. The work of Gupta and Majid is concerned with the empirical verification of the responsiveness of farmers to prices and marketing policies in a backward region. The authors' analysis of the respon¬siveness of farmers to economic incentives is based on two sets of data (concern¬ing sugarcane, cash crop, and paddy, subsistence crop) collected from the district of Deoria in Eastern U.P. (Utter Pradesh) a chronically foodgrain deficit region in northern India. In one set, they have aggregate time-series data at district level and, in the other, they have obtained data from a survey of five villages selected from 170 villages around Padrauna town in Deoria.
