Volume : III, Issue : V, June - 2013 DETECTION OF CHANGES OF WEST-DENA PROTECTED AREA GLACIERS AFFECTED BY CLIMATE VARIABLES IN PAST PERIODS KATAYOON HOJJATI , JALIL BADAMFIROOZ , ALIREZA MASSAH .B DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : In this Article the probable effects of climate change on glaciers in West-Dena
protected area during the past periods has been studied. West-Dena protected area is
located in North-East Kohkilouyeh and Boyr Ahmad province and a long zagroos
mountain chain.
Dena the highest mountain of Zagroos mountain chain includes a vast part of
fauna and flora in this geographical limitation and has always been regarded as one of
the richest diversity zones in the country. This survey has studied the changes of snow
coverage in Dena glaciers by using NDSI index in 3 decades (1980-2010). By processing
and interpreting satellite pictures during the above-mentioned years, we conclude that
from 1987 up to 2010 the protected area has experienced major climate changes that in
turn, have had remarkable impacts on glaciers and ecosystem of West-Dena protected
area. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : KATAYOON HOJJATI , JALIL BADAMFIROOZ , ALIREZA MASSAH .B, (2013).
