About the Cover
Study on heavy metal contamination of sediments and determining the monitoring stations and substations is an important step in improving the efficiency and updating the monitoring networks. In this study sampling stations located in the Persian Gulf were evaluated with principal component analysis and factor analysis techniques. For this purpose nine stations were selected and using qualitative data measured of (Pb, Cd, Cu, Ni) in the stations from 1386 to 1387, stations and substations were determined. Principal component factor analysis (PCFA) was performed using SPSS software. In this process, the correlation matrix with a VARIMAX rotation that perpendicularly of its axes is maintained in it, is used. After formation of the coefficient components matrix, it was attempted to determine the principal stations using PCFA. In this way, principal stations are the parameters which at least one of their coefficients used to form the relevant factors, have relatively high amount. In this study, because of the extent of the study area and a few parameters, this criterion was equal to 0.8. According to the criteria considered it is determined that only in the station G the value of this coefficient between each of the factors considered for this station is less than 0.8 and as a result, this station is a Substation and the other stations are principal stations
Climate change and flood hazard
Bita Javidfakhr
Natural hazards are linked to climate change and they are likely to increase over the years. The vulnerability to certain natural risks such as flooding and coastal erosion can be exacerbated by climate change.

The analysis of the effects of climate change on geologic natural hazards
Bita Javidfakhr
Climate is one of several integrated drivers of change that should be considered in understanding the vulnerability and related risk management options. Active tectonics and climate change are supposed to be key parameters in evolution of large slope movements in mountain belts
